Well after testing the whole thing I recognized that the state is not delivered via an Intent extra. (although mentioned in the SDK) Here is what I tried: Log.e(TAG,Received Bt change. Change action: +intent.getAction ()); int state = intent.getIntExtra(BLUETOOTH_STATE, 404); int previousState = intent.getIntExtra (BLUETOOTH_PREVIOUS_STATE, 404); The action is fine but the states are always 404. So there is no state returned. Could you lead me to the file where you have found the things you mentioned. I haven't found it in the source. :( Thank you very much. Regards.

[android-developers] Re: Layout bugs
Mark - I've spent a lot of time developing for a lot of mobile platforms. It's true that they all have their quirks, and they all need a bit of tweakiness, but this stack business seems to me to be more than ordinarily tweaky. The Android layout scheme has been a strange thing to work with. It's powerful, but it is complicated, and it's not been easy to get the results we need from it. It is definitely one of the awkward bits of Android development. Now it's more awkward. Reworking existing layouts, using more laborious techniques when making new ones, building a UI to economise on views instead of to serve the user, having to measure the deepest possible nesting in an environment where views can be built at runtime - none of this is helpful. I expect we are stuck with the teeny stack for 1.5. I'm sure the Android engineers haven't gone this way for trivial reasons, and I'm sure they won't change it just because I have a moan about it. But, I'd like to be clear that this is not just an 'excuse for a bit of optimisation' - it's a real (even if unavoidable) step backwards. R. On Apr 24, 7:00 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: jarkman wrote: Scratching about looking for ways to use less stack, and to avoid complicated view structures, doesn't feel very 2009. Well, bear in mind, you are far closer to doing embedded systems development than desktop or server development when you write for mobile devices. These sorts of hiccups and optimizations are par for the course when working on embedded systems, as I understand it. My hope is that we can collectively work out a set of design guidelines to help avoid stack issues, while we await more stack space, or more efficient use of existing stack space, or something. Cases in point: Romain Guy wrote a couple of blog posts earlier this year about using RelativeLayout instead of nested LinearLayouts and using merge to eliminate redundant layouts needed solely to satisfy XML requirements. I link to them in a blog post I wrote up on this topic earlier today: http://androidguys.com/?p=4688 At the time he wrote those posts, my reaction was meh, because I didn't see the value. Now, of course, the value is much more obvious and immediate. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books:http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Layout bugs
What's the rationale for hard-coding stack sizes at 8k? That's pretty small, even for Java apps that don't allocate things on the stack. Windows will actually grow the stack for you when you exceed the limits, up to the point at which you run out of memory. This really isn't a Views-heirarchy specific issue is it. Theoretically any app that is close to the 8k limit can be broken by having some additional recursion in a platform library. Growing the stack automatically appears to be the only robust, general solution. BTW I hope one day we have escape analysis/stack allocation in Dalvik. That'd probably go a long way towards taking the pressure off the GC system and making it easier to write smoothly performing games. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
I too think this change is a bad idea and will decrease the user's experience with my application. Perhaps, but it'll probably improve the users experience with the phone in general. I'm sure the battery life complaints have reduced G1 sales, and yet my own G1 doesn't seem to have such terrible battery life. If JBQ says their research linked these complaints to specific apps (like Locale) then I believe them. Kill the few to save the many? Additionally, I don't think the average teenager or grand-mother knows what any of the fine grain permissions in Android mean and will just go ahead and allow any app to have the permissions it wants. Some people won't read them, I agree. They might lose. However, this is still a huge upgrade from the current state of desktop computing, where no matter how skilled or careful you are, you are guaranteed to lose because you have no idea or control over what apps do. Being somewhat knowledgable, I wonder if the app is using the permission for the stated purpose or does it do more than it says. I agree that some permissions could be better thought out, the Prevent phone from sleeping permission needs to go (and probably can be removed when Android surfaces battery usage information better). The access internet permission needs to be split into several permissions IMHO, for instance basic internet access with caveats should be permission free, but internet access over a certain rate or on certain ports (eg smtp) should require permissions. Perhaps a same origin policy could be designed such that internet access to a programs home site is free but other sites require a permission. Of course it's not clear how you define home site. After all, what is the point of this permission? Preventing users getting big charges? Saving the net from abuse? I think the use case for this permission needs to be carefully thought out and then better permissions designed. However, I also see that the Android team have a ton of things on their plate, and that currently this permission isn't being abused. Fortunately it's possible to change permissions after the fact - permissions that aren't necessary any more can be silently granted, and permissions that need to be split can be done by making old apps request every new component. The only thing that can't be easily done is add permissions to things that previously didn't require them, this thread shows how painful that is. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Transparency on Views behaving differently in 1.5
Hi! I have a lot of Views where I have set a background image on the top LinearLayout and then I have nested a new linear layout below with a background that is semi-transparent. This works great in 1.1, but in 1.5 the transparency is just disregarded and this breaks my app as the text on top is now unreadable. Is this a bug or a feature? Is there a better way of doing this? Very grateful for any tips! Code example: LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android android:orientation=vertical android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent android:background=@drawable/ field android:id=@+id/root LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android android:orientation=vertical android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content android:id=@+id/bg android:background=#aa00 ... -Christer --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Cross process cursor using AbstractWindowedCursor
Never mind... I found a way to do it that 1) avoids messing around with custom cursors across process boundaries and 2) is likely more efficient anyway for large numbers of exported records. Setup: - Add export flag to table containing potentially exported records At export time: - Set export flag to 0 for all records - Set export flag to 1 for records matching export selection criteria - SQLite trigger (also added during setup) sets export flag to 2 for related records - Export query selects those records with a non-zero export flag If the user opts to not export related records, I simply skip the whole updating of the export flag and use the original export selection criteria in the export query. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: SDK1.5 AudioRecord sample rate problem
Dave, Yoni, Thank you for replying. Is this on the emulator? If so, it may be a limitation of the emulator. Yes, I experienced the problem using the 1.5 prerelease SDK emulator. I dont know how the G1 would behave. Make sure you're using 16 bit samples.. I have tried pretty much ALL permutations of the different parameters, including PCM_16BIT, with no DEFAULTS. Still, Recording works only with a sample rate of 8000Hz. From now on I will assume its an issue with the pre release 1.5 emulator that will get fixed into the final version. Dave, is it enough that you know about this issue, or am I supposed to fill out a bugreport somewhere?

[android-developers] Proper usage of object passing for TabActivity/TabHost
I'm working on a TabActivity with 4 tabs, each of which works on various data pieces in a single data object. I have a few questions: - What is the best way to make this object available across all these activities? Is it as an object defined in the TabActivity and visible to each of the children? - How do you pass the result set by a child activity back through the parent? I'm always getting RESULT_CANCELED at the activity calling the TabActivity regardless of what I set in the child activity. - getLastNonConfigurationInstance() doesn't seem to work with these child activities, is this expected? When my child activity was a standalone activity the code worked fine but now as a child it does not. Any help is appreciated.

As well as setting the SurfaceHolder format you need to tell EGL that
you want a matching config:
egl.eglChooseConfig(display, new int[] {

Unfortunately, when you done that you'll probably run into issue 1963:

I don't have a solution for that one.

[android-developers] Re: Transparency on Views behaving differently in 1.5
I can't think of anything that could have changed here -- there is really nothing special the view hierarchy does in this case, it is just drawing the views on on top of the other in Z-order.

[android-developers] Re: orientation change runtime option?
You can certainly have a user preference that lets them select between sensor, nosensor, portrait, landscape, and set that in the activity when it starts with the API on Activity.

My app is kind of specialized and I think users might want it to respond differently to orientation changes than the default (I get a lot of requests for that, hence the android:screenOrientation=sensor ). Is there any other approach I can take that would essentially change the value of the screenOrientation at runtime? I think I have seen apps where the user selects how to respond to orientation changes.

I have it set to android:screenOrientation=sensor in the manifest but I would like users to be able to turn this on and off or set landscape or portrait orientation permanently.
