[android-developers] Re: Putting Android on Par with the iPhone Software
I'm pretty sure Google makes a small cut on app purchases via it's checkout fees which are included in the 30%. Beyond that unless you've got access to all the legal agreements you can't say for sure that the OHA or other organisations aren't contributing something to Googles development costs. Al. P.S. Paragraphs... they are your friend... really. Schiffres wrote: This is a message to all other Android Developers, bloggers, or interest groups. Unfortunately, it is rather evident that, for a myriad of reasons, Android as an OS simply isn't on the same level as the iPhone in what it offers, what it can do, how it runs, etc. etc. As a full supporter of most everything Google endeavors to take on, I am gleeful to see Android, an open source competitor challenging the iPhone. Google has brilliant engineers, a plethora of resources, and the flexibility to test and experiment wacky ideas that become the technological standard of tomorrow. So why isn't Android commensurate to the iPhone? My opinion is that it's because Google doesn't make any, even a small stream, of revenue from Android, which is a major disincentive and makes it economically infeasible and to pour resources into it to make it the best and most competitive possible OS it can be. While I hope Google addresses this issue in the future, we need to make it easy for the current Google engineers to create a competitive project, and that means, in the true spirit of open source, we must contribute. So developers, educated Android savvy technological wizards, come together, and below post everything you would want to see in an Android update to both put Android on par with the iPhone, and push it beyond. Put ideas that well up on the brink of your imagination below, think up the next big idea, the brilliant feature that'll make Android the unparalleled smart phone champion. Once Android is more popular, better phones will be made for it, it'll have more developers, and Google will invest more money in it, but we need to give it that first push. Below, use our collective wisdom and create a single thread that will document all the features, all the tools, the code libraries, etc. etc. that we want to see in Android, and when our thread gets large enough, Google won't be able to help but notice, and address our needs, our desires, and our demands!

[android-developers] Problem with detecting a shake movement
I use OpenIntents SensorSimulator
In code i wrote
public float accelerometer_shake_threshold = 1.2f;
static final int ACCELEROMETER_FLOAT_TO_INT = 1024;
int mACCELEROMETER_SHAKE_THRESHOLD_SQUARE;
public void onSensorChanged(int sensor, float[] values){
if( sensor == SensorManager.SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER){
int t = (int)(ACCELEROMETER_FLOAT_TO_INT *
accelerometer_shake_threshold);
mACCELEROMETER_SHAKE_THRESHOLD_SQUARE = t * t;
android.util.Log.i(Answer,String.valueOf
(values[0]));
android.util.Log.i(Answer,String.valueOf(values[1]));
android.util.Log.i(Answer,String.valueOf(values[2]));
int ax = (int)(ACCELEROMETER_FLOAT_TO_INT *
values[0]);
int ay = (int)(ACCELEROMETER_FLOAT_TO_INT * values[1]);
int az = (int)(ACCELEROMETER_FLOAT_TO_INT * values[2]);
int len2 = ax * ax + ay * ay + az * az;
android.util.Log.i(LEN is,Integer.toString(len2));
if (len2 mACCELEROMETER_SHAKE_THRESHOLD_SQUARE) {
Log.v(TAG,Force Detected);
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById
(R.id.found);
tv.setText(ViolentForce Detected);
}
I could not get the desired result ,the value of len2
is seems
to be constant for any movement I give through the sensor simulator
(Yaw,Roll and Pitch).If the len2 is constant value then what could be
the purpose of the if statement .
I just blindly followed the code snippet given under Detecting
Shake With The Accelerometer(
http://www.anddev.org/example_detecting_-und-quotshake-und-quot_with_the_accelerometer-t4451.html
) .
In few examples i came across the len2 values is compared with cube

the concept to detect a violent shake .What kind of physics is used to
detect this sense .

[android-developers] Re: need help on --core-library
FreeTTS is a text-to-speech engine. It's only dependency is *again* java.beans.PropertyChangeListener. I've tried compiling with --core-library using Eclipse but no matter what I did I wasn't able to pass that parameter to the Android tools (can't remember which one required it). I managed to compile using the command-line tools but haven't tried running the app because in the end I've given up because of the big voice files required for FreeTTS. Bottom line is, I can't really help you, but try compiling on the command line OR try creating an IntelliJ IDEA project and modify it's build script -- I can't guarantee it will work though.

I have two Android projects, a 'library project' containing a custom layout, and an 'application project' containing an application which uses the layout. Everything seems to build and execute fine, except that the visual layout editor throws a ClassNotFoundException (which I assume is a bug in the plug-in), but when I try to start to make use of the attributes I defined for the custom layout in the xml, the build fails. That is; this works: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? se.fnord.android.layout.PredicateLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent TextView android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=asdfasdf / /se.fnord.android.layout.PredicateLayout Whereas this does not: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? se.fnord.android.layout.PredicateLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; xmlns:fnord=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/se.fnord.android android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent TextView fnord:layout_horizontalSpacing=1px android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=asdfasdf / /se.fnord.android.layout.PredicateLayout The build fails with a message from aapt: ERROR No resource identifier found for attribute 'layout_horizontalSpacing' in package 'se.fnord.android' The resource identifier does exist in the R-file and attrs.xml contained the library project, and if I put the layout code and resources directly in the application project everything works fine. The layout_horizontalSpacing attribute (and layout_verticalSpacing) is a custom attribute used in the PredicateLayout.LayoutParam class to specify the distance to the next widget. So far I've tried the standard eclipse ways by specifying project references and build path project dependencies. I was also told to try the uses-library tag in the application manifest, which did not help. So, what do I need to do for the references in the xml-file to work? I don't know if it's relevant, but the 'library' manifest looks like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android package=se.fnord.android android:versionCode=1 android:versionName=1.0.0 /manifest The 'application' manifest like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android package=se.fnord.appname android:versionCode=1 android:versionName=1.0.0 application android:icon=@drawable/icon android:label=@string/app_name activity android:name=.AppName android:label=@string/app_name intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN / category android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER / /intent-filter /activity /application /manifest 'se.fnord.android.layout.PredicateLayout', btw, is a cleaned-up version of the layout posted at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/549451 .

Unfortunately, it is rather evident that, for a myriad of reasons, Android as an OS simply isn't on the same level as the iPhone in what it offers, what it can do, how it runs, etc. etc. As a full supporter of most everything Google endeavors to take on, I am gleeful to see Android, an open source competitor challenging the iPhone. Google has brilliant engineers, a plethora of resources, and the flexibility to test and experiment wacky ideas that become the technological standard of tomorrow. So why isn't Android commensurate to the iPhone? My opinion is that it's because Google doesn't make any, even a small stream, of revenue from Android, which is a major disincentive and makes it economically infeasible and to pour resources into it to make it the best and most competitive possible OS it can be. While I hope Google addresses this issue in the future, we need to make it easy for the current Google engineers to create a competitive project, and that means, in the true spirit of open source, we must contribute. So developers, educated Android savvy technological wizards, come together, and below post everything you would want to see in an Android update to both put Android on par with the iPhone, and push it beyond.

Of course it does fade out but it shows a black area in the semi transparent areas of the PNG while fading away. It looks soo bad. Does it have something to do with display mode ?

[android-developers] Count Down Timer in list view
Hi,
I want to add a count down timer in a list view. the time duration is
got from an xml in the format (PnYnMnDTnHnMnS). I used joda-time.jar
for parsing the time from Period.
I used
long totaltimeinmilliseconds = (H*24*60+M*60+S)*1000;
new CountDownTimer(totaltimeinmilliseconds, 1000) {
public void onTick(long
millisUntilFinished) {
mTimer.setText(left: +
millisUntilFinished / 1000);
}
public void onFinish() {
mTimer.setText(done!);
}
}.start();
This code for making the countdown timer display.
I put the code just before
ll.addView(mTimer, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams
(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
in which, this linearlayout ll is used for making the list.
But my problem is if there is only 1 item in the list , the timer
will count down in each sec, but for more than one item, the dislpay
wil be in the interval of 3 or more seconds.how can i make it display
in each seconds???
Also I want to display in H:M:S format, with H,M,S synchronised.
thanx in advance

[android-developers] How to implement buddy list screen
Hi All, I am working on implementing an Instant Messenger application in Android. I want to display buddy list screen as follows, Friends(this is group name) status_icon friend1_name status_icon friend2_name . . General (this is group name) status_icon general1_name status_icon general2_name . . I want to implement a list view in the above layout. When user clicks on group name then friends list display in that gropu should toggle between collapse and expand. I know I could not do this by simply extending my activity from ListActivity and I understand that I should implement my own list adapter for this. But I am not getting any good ideas of implementing this. Any ideas or pointers to this would be greatly appreciated!

[android-developers] Application dataflow query - BroadcastReceiver / ContentProvider / Activity
I've developed an application that receives a Broadcast and then launches an Activity, where that Activity queries a ContentProvider which pulls information out of the DNS in real-time. I'd like to be able to shuffle this so that instead of going: BroadcastReceiver - Activity - ContentProvider.query() it goes: BroadcastReceiver - ContentProvider.query() - Activity If the query() returns no data I want to miss out launching the activity, and allow the Broadcast message to fall through as normal. If the query() does return data, I want that Cursor to be supplied to the Activity, so that I don't have to go and query for the data again. Is this possible? thanks Ray --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Putting Android on Par with the iPhone Software
Google needs to realize that smart phones are the next wave of personal computers and start treating Android phones as a computer with a phone attached rather than a phone with fairly impressive compute power. The outcome of this line of thought is understanding that google does not know what the next killer app will be and what resources it will need to accomplish its task. Probabily users will need more control over the phone to install potentially root privleged programs and device driver, developers will need access to all the hardware perpherials (USB, Bluetooth...) Think of it a a Linux computer with a phone attached. Additionally the Dalvik VM is very slow which is jeopardizing the platforms viability for anything more than simple image manapilation via GL.

[android-developers] Why can not edit /init.rc on adp1 with firmware 1.1?
I flashed my adp1 to firmware 1.1 following the instruction from HTC. http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html But after that, I want to modify the /init.rc, after I remount the rootfs as writable, I can edit or replace the /init.rc file. But the file will roll back the original version after reboot the phone. Before I modify the /init.rc, I install the busybox to the phone, then I use 'cp command to replace the /init.rc Any one can give me some advice? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Do ProximityAlerts actually work?
Sorry about that. My browser was acting weird. Anyway... I'm coming to the conclusion that ProximityAlerts (PAs) don't actually work at least in v 1.0. Here is why I think PAs don't work (reliably): 1. my code sends ProximityAlerts which show up in the log 2. when my code does a sendBrodcast(new Intent(TYW_PROXIMITY_ALERT)) the phone vibrates and I receive a notification, so I know my BroadcastReceiver is working fine. 3. Once out of a n attempts or so (n 25), the phone acts like it received a PA but I can't replicate it. 4. I've set the LocationUpdates to be as fast as possible and the ProximtyRadius to a reasonable amount then I walk up towards a landmark that I've sent a PA for. I can see my position changing, I see the landmark enter the ProximityRadius zone, I hang out there for up to 30 minutes, and I move away, watching the landmark leave the ProximityRadius. Nada. 5. I haven't come across an discussion of PAs using verion 1.0 of the SDK, which I find suspicious. So, either I'm violating some undocumented feature of the PA (like, you can only send one at a time and then only during a full moon) or these things don't work.

[android-developers] Accessing contact' email addresses
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:47 amPost subject: Accessing contact'
email addresses
Hi!
I'm developing an application in which I need to display user a list
of contacts and their email addresses so that user can choose one of
them.
I've got some help from Internet and I'm able to display a list of
contacts and their number by the following code:
---
JAVA CODE
---
public class ShowContacts extends ExpandableListActivity implements
OnChildClickListener {
private int mGroupIdColumnIndex;
private String mPhoneNumberProjection[] = new String[] {
People.Phones._ID, People.NUMBER // CHANGE HERE
};
private ExpandableListAdapter mAdapter;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Query for people
Cursor groupCursor = managedQuery(People.CONTENT_URI,
new String[] {People._ID, People.NAME}, null, null,
null);
// Cache the ID column index
mGroupIdColumnIndex = groupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow
(People._ID);
// Set up our adapter
mAdapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter(groupCursor,
this,
android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1,
android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1,
new String[] {People.NAME}, // Name for group layouts
new int[] {android.R.id.text1},
new String[] {People.NUMBER}, // AND CHANGE HERE
new int[] {android.R.id.text1});
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
}
public class MyExpandableListAdapter extends
SimpleCursorTreeAdapter {
public MyExpandableListAdapter(Cursor cursor, Context context,
int groupLayout,
int childLayout, String[] groupFrom, int[] groupTo,
String[] childrenFrom,
int[] childrenTo) {
super(context, cursor, groupLayout, groupFrom, groupTo,
childLayout, childrenFrom,
childrenTo);
}
@Override
protected Cursor getChildrenCursor(Cursor groupCursor) {
// Given the group, we return a cursor for all the
children within that group
// Return a cursor that points to this contact's phone
numbers
Uri.Builder builder = People.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, groupCursor.getLong
(mGroupIdColumnIndex));
builder.appendEncodedPath
(People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Uri phoneNumbersUri = builder.build();
return managedQuery(phoneNumbersUri,
mPhoneNumberProjection, null, null, null);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onChildClick(android.widget.ExpandableListView
parent,
View v, int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id)
{
AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder
(ShowContacts.this)
.setMessage(((TextView) v).getText().toString())
.setPositiveButton(OK, null).create();
dialog.show();
return true;
}
}
---
What I need now is how to replace numbers by email addresses. What I
need to change is People.NUMBER at a couple of places but I'm not able
to find any replacement. There is a field called
People.PRIMARY_EMAIL_ID but that returns the ID of the email rather
than the actuall email.
Kindly guide me what am I missing.
Big thanks in advance!!!

[android-developers] how to use WebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword() ?
I am trying to use WebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword() to handle basic HTTP authentication on displaying a web page. I wouldn't think it's anything complicated but I cannot find any documentation on how to use it, an example, etc. I've tried what I would guess is the usage: webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview); webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webview.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword(www.foo.com,realm text,joe,xyz123); webview.loadUrl(http://www.foo.com/index.html;); but I can see from the web server logs that the authentication information is not being sent. The client side (in the emulator) shows only a blank (black) view. The same url loaded in the emulators browser loads fine. Any suggestions or pointers to examples on how to use this? Or an alternative to handle the authentication information? Thanks --brian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Putting Android on Par with the iPhone Software
Pat, I don't wish to get into a religious debate here, but for the purposes of constructive, concrete criticism/suggestion, I'd like to mention something here. I have / use / develop on both the iPhone and Google Android. It is very interesting to set both devices side by side, and attempt to do the same exact thing, whether it is make a phone call, run an app, change settings, etc. Even if the performance were exactly the same, the ease of use and user experience is significantly different, tilted heavily in favor of the iPhone. Android suffers from a lack of consistency in the user experience. Sometimes typing is required on the hardware keyboard, sometimes on the phone. Sometime navigation is by the hardware menu and back buttons, sometimes there are navigation buttons on the touch screen. Sometimes menus can be dragged from the title bar or the bottom of the screen, sometimes the hardware buttons are required. And the fact that typing which requires the hardware keyboard also requires sliding the keyboard out and a change of screen orientation isn't user friendly either. Apple has taken a lot of criticism from those who do not appreciate App Store submissions being rejected because of misuse of user interface standards. I personally appreciate it, because the protection of user interface metaphors are what give consistency to the iPhone across apps, and make apps on the iPhone which use standard interface metaphors intuitive by default. If I see a navigation bar or a tab bar or a disclosure button on a table, I know exactly what those will do in *any* application. IMHO, Google would really benefit from a critical analysis of Android from a user standpoint, and a real focus on establishment of widely adopted user interface standards on apps. At this point, Android really has the feel of an environment that has been oriented primarily towards developers, not towards users. Don't get me wrong, Android has done some great things -- things I really appreciate as a developer. But at the end of the day, it is all about the users. Just my 2 cents... Brad On Mar 18, 2009, at 7:45 AM, patg wrote: Google needs to realize that smart phones are the next wave of personal computers and start treating Android phones as a computer with a phone attached rather than a phone with fairly impressive compute power. The outcome of this line of thought is understanding that google does not know what the next killer app will be and what resources it will need to accomplish its task. Probabily users will need more control over the phone to install potentially root privleged programs and device driver, developers will need access to all the hardware perpherials (USB, Bluetooth...) Think of it a a Linux computer with a phone attached. Additionally the Dalvik VM is very slow which is jeopardizing the platforms viability for anything more than simple image manapilation via GL. Java did not take off for Sun until sun got JIT working well. The same will need to happen for Dalvik. On Mar 17, 6:31 pm, Schiffres schifty...@gmail.com wrote: This is a message to all other Android Developers, bloggers, or interest groups. Unfortunately, it is rather evident that, for a myriad of reasons, Android as an OS simply isn't on the same level as the iPhone in what it offers, what it can do, how it runs, etc. etc. As a full supporter of most everything Google endeavors to take on, I am gleeful to see Android, an open source competitor challenging the iPhone. Google has brilliant engineers, a plethora of resources, and the flexibility to test and experiment wacky ideas that become the technological standard of tomorrow. So why isn't Android commensurate to the iPhone? My opinion is that it's because Google doesn't make any, even a small stream, of revenue from Android, which is a major disincentive and makes it economically infeasible and to pour resources into it to make it the best and most competitive possible OS it can be. While I hope Google addresses this issue in the future, we need to make it easy for the current Google engineers to create a competitive project, and that means, in the true spirit of open source, we must contribute. So developers, educated Android savvy technological wizards, come together, and below post everything you would want to see in an Android update to both put Android on par with the iPhone, and push it beyond. Put ideas that well up on the brink of your imagination below, think up the next big idea, the brilliant feature that'll make Android the unparalleled smart phone champion. Once Android is more popular, better phones will be made for it, it'll have more developers, and Google will invest more money in it, but we need to give it that first push. Below, use our collective wisdom and create a single thread that will document all the features, all the tools, the code

[android-developers] Re: Putting Android on Par with the iPhone Software
An excellent comparison of interfaces. Although the iPhone doesn't sem to have the capabilities the Android OS has, the Android interface is, as already mentioned in other posts, lacking. It would be nice to see a set of standards that all apps should attempt to adhere to. So far I only see bits and pieces of the 'suggested' standard placed randomly throughout the developer site. There should be a dedicated page where all expected standards are listed, at a minimum the user interface specifications. If this clearly written specification has already been made, please indicate the location with a link. On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 10:54 PM, Bradley S.

I have / use / develop on both the iPhone and Google Android. It is very interesting to set both devices side by side, and attempt to do the same exact thing, whether it is make a phone call, run an app, change settings, etc. Even if the performance were exactly the same, the ease of use and user experience is significantly different, tilted heavily in favor of the iPhone. Android suffers from a lack of consistency in the user experience. Sometimes typing is required on the hardware keyboard, sometimes on the phone. Sometime navigation is by the hardware menu and back buttons, sometimes there are navigation buttons on the touch screen. Sometimes menus can be dragged from the title bar or the bottom of the screen, sometimes the hardware buttons are required. And the fact that typing which requires the hardware keyboard also requires sliding the keyboard out and a change of screen orientation isn't user friendly either. Apple has taken a lot of criticism from those who do not appreciate App Store submissions being rejected because of misuse of user interface standards. I personally appreciate it, because the protection of user interface metaphors are what give consistency to the iPhone across apps, and make apps on the iPhone which use standard interface metaphors intuitive by default. If I see a navigation bar or a tab bar or a disclosure button on a table, I know exactly what those will do in *any* application. IMHO, Google would really benefit from a critical analysis of Android from a user standpoint, and a real focus on establishment of widely adopted user interface standards on apps. At this point, Android really has the feel of an environment that has been oriented primarily towards developers, not towards users. Don't get me wrong, Android has done some great things -- things I really appreciate as a developer. But at the end of the day, it is all about the users. Just my 2 cents...

Probabily users will need more control over the phone to install potentially root privleged programs and device driver, developers will need access to all the hardware perpherials (USB, Bluetooth...)

Google has brilliant engineers, a plethora of resources, and the flexibility to test and experiment wacky ideas that become the technological standard of tomorrow. So why isn't Android commensurate to the iPhone?

Hey Guys, First, I want to apologize for the lack of coherence, or paragraphs (sorry Al), I've had a pretty minimal amount of sleep this week :P. To Carl, I fully acknowledge the iPhone shortcomings and the grant potential for Android, it's why I'm, perhaps blindly, an uber Android supporter. However, what I was actually trying to get at, which thankfully has been addressed by Paper and Bradley are the shortcomings, the specific features, functions, and usability that Android lacks. Even if you feel it is fully functional in your opinion, what is the next big feature, the next step in Android development, what you would love to see in Android, its next wild feature that may not even be supported by today's technology. It seems to me that Google, which has in my opinion the ability to create an OS three times as good as Apple's, has been dropping the ball a bit on Android, which in turn ruins its reputation, regardless of it's actual functionality. I can't begin to postulate the cause of this lackluster performance, however, personally I think it's that Google has no incentive to make it the best it can be because it makes no direct source of revenue (Al, the 30% isn't supposed to be for profit at all, but rather to clear up the costs of the transaction and corollary costs, so that Google breaks even). A view of a Google search on an iPhone equally profits Google as a Google search on an Android powered device. However, it could be argued that Google wants to be able to control the means that its users and customers access its product (an explanation that also gives reason as to why they developed Chrome).

But my public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float

[android-developers] Re: Do ProximityAlerts actually work?
I think I may be onto something...I can get PAs to work in the field if I send one *and only one* PA to the LocationManager. I'm now thinking that the last PA is the only one active. If that's true, then I'll have to write my own routine to figure out which landmark is closest to me which kind of defeats the purpose of PAs, in my mind. On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 11:59 AM, Faber Fedor faberfe...@gmail.com wrote: Sorry about that. My browser was acting weird. Anyway... I'm coming to the conclusion that ProximityAlerts (PAs) don't actually work at least in v 1.0. Here is why I think PAs don't work (reliably): 1. my code sends ProximityAlerts which show up in the log 2. when my code does a sendBrodcast(new Intent(TYW_PROXIMITY_ALERT)) the phone vibrates and I receive a notification, so I know my BroadcastReceiver is working fine. 3. Once out of a n attempts or so (n 25), the phone acts like it received a PA but I can't replicate it. 4. I've set the LocationUpdates to be as fast as possible and the ProximtyRadius to a reasonable amount then I walk up towards a landmark that I've sent a PA for. I can see my position changing, I see the landmark enter the ProximityRadius zone, I hang out there for up to 30 minutes, and I move away, watching the landmark leave the ProximityRadius. Nada. 5. I haven't come across an discussion of PAs using verion 1.0 of the SDK, which I find suspicious. So, either I'm violating some undocumented feature of the PA (like, you can only send one at a time and then only during a full moon) or these things don't work.
