There isn't a dedicated '+' key on the G1 keyboard (nor likely on most phone keyboards), so it would be reasonable for it to not be generated by the emulator.

[android-developers] simple demo multiple alarms
Hi, i like to create multiple alarms, but i does not work. how to set
and how to request in my receiver what alarm intent came activated

{
Intent intent = new Intent(alarm.this, alarmreceiver.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(alarm.this,
0, intent, 0);
intent.setData((Uri.parse(custom://+delay))); i heared
about this would make individual alarms.. but does not work
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, delay);
intent.putExtra(avr, +delay); //i tried to set my data
here to read later, but also does not work
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService
(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(),
sender);
//Toast.makeText(this, Alarm set, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show
();
}

[android-developers] Re: Transparency on Views behaving differently in 1.5
Does this change happen with the current binary of your app, or after you recompile it against 1.5? This happens only when I recompile it against 1.5 and run it in the emulator. Haven't tested the 1.1 binaries in the 1.5 emulator. If I switch target to 1.1 and run it on my phone then it works great. I noticed that it is related to setting transparency with 00 or FF color. If I use another color like (01) then it works as expected. I can change all my colors, but this seems like a bug to me?

[android-developers] Using Widget.TextView.ListSeparator
I need to separate to content areas in my application, and I thought I would use the OS built-in style for better integration, style-wise. The separator used by the ListView seemed to fit. So I had a custom style resource like this, inheriting from Widget.TextView.ListSeparator: style name=Header parent=@android:style/ Widget.TextView.ListSeparator.../style And then using the resource with a view like so: TextView style=@style/Header Compiled a against 1.0, this worked just fine on my 1.0 device, and also with the unofficial holiday 1.1 ADP image. Now, using the 1.5 SDK, it still works as expected on a 1.5 AVD, but when running the app on a 1.1 AVD or my 1.1 holiday device, the parent style doesn't seem to be taken into account. Neither the android:background specified by Widget.TextView.ListSeparator nor the android:textColor value is used. On the other hand, when targeting 1.1 in Eclipse, it*does* work in 1.1 again, but the same issue now occurs while running on 1.5. When trying to use TextView style=@android:style/ Widget.TextView.ListSeparator directly, Eclipse says Resource is not public , both when targeting 1.1 or 1.5. Is there any obvious explanation for this? What would be the correct way to reference the Widget.TextView.ListSeparator style? Why can't I use the style directly, but are allowed to inherit from it? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

1. When the copy protection checkbox was first introduced on Android Market, I heard about a lot of issues with people not being able to download etc. Have those issues been resolved now?

Since some of these just redirect the user to your own site to download the app, there needs to be a license key that authenticates the user and unlocks his app. I saw that andappstore has a framework for that (not sure if that will only work with them or is a generic solution). I'm looking for a free, generic licensing solution. Is there one that you know of or use? My concern is to not throw in a wrench in the process of user download and use of the app, where I start getting a ton of emails from people whose keys arent working or asking for new keys etc, where license support turns into a full-time activity.

[android-developers] Re: Copy protection License key management
The issue (1) with turning copy protection on (or off) was in Android 1.0/1.1, and there's been no fix for it made on top of those versions. I believe that it is fixed in 1.5, which means that you might be OK if you deliver a copy-protected version with minSdkVersion=3 - I'm not sure, though.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer sound problem
I have other problem now. Lets say I have 10 buttons (0-9), when user
press button program should play short (0.3-0.5 secs) sound. I added
them as wav resources. Now I see that each MediaPlayer creates its own
thread and takes resources. I'm not sure that this is good idea to
make 10 players. But if I create player when user presses button it
works fine only if user presses no more than 1 button in 2 secs. If
user presses button each second or even several buttons a second, some
sounds are silent. What's best solution for this problem on android?
On Pocket PC we can play wav files fast - we create thread, that uses
WaveIO and we have no silent sounds. How can we make sounds ready to
play fast?

I did many tests. I tried to create 1 MediaPlayer, then do this:

When user press button, I call lunchSound();
It works great on emulator and on device if I have eclipse+debugger
on.
When I disconnect debugger, I have very strange errors - sound can
stop at all (till program restart), sound can start repeating (play
0.1-0.2 sec, then restart). Can someone please provide me some info
about problem?
Thanks.

What is your goal here? The copy protection mechanism in Android isn't strong, so if it's to try and mitigate piracy I'd not bother. It won't work and will inconvenience your users. In case you think I'm some kind of anti-DRM activist, I'm not. If somebody produced a secure and convenient way to distribute Android apps I'd be a happy guy. For now, your best bet is to produce something yourself, and rely on the relative obscurity of Dalvik bytecode to ward off crackers. Longer term, this is something Android ISVs will have to research carefully. Android is actually the most crack friendly OS I've seen, as it quite heavily restricts what apps can do but users [who root their phone] have complete freedom, so it's even worse than on Windows where apps and users do at least fight on a level playing field (not that it helps much). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Crash on mediaPlayer.prepare();
Hello fellow developers!
I'm having quite a hard time using the android.media.MediaPlayer
class.
I would like to implement a very simple proof of concept Activity that
just launches a mp4 video.
I've successfully achieved this by using a callback like this:
See ACTIVITY 1.
It successfully plays the video.
After that I tried the Callback-free version:
See ACTIVITY 2.
The result is sound coming out just fine and a black square instead of
a video.
Does anyone knows what is going on here?
In using:
android-sdk-linux_x86-1.1_r1

One thing I've learned over the years of selling products on the net is to do unlockable demos. The unlockable ones were quickly hacked and wound up as warez. The ones where I provided a crippled demo and the real version was only available for purchase did not wind up as warez. Pirates won't purchase the program to hack it or create key generators.

[android-developers] Re: How to draw a rectangle on screen using layout.xml file
Color isn't a class, so, ofcourse, you can't instantiate it from xml. The way I see this happening would be Implementing your own View: RectangleView. Have it extend View and have it draw a rectangle, using the settings from the xml. Or you could extend a ViewGroup and implement your own, so other View will become part of this ViewGroup.

Many of these core controls still allow customization. For example, you can have custom button styles by setting the android:background to a stateful drawable that has various button states.

[android-developers] Re: How to draw a piece of Bitmap
Nick, Did you figure this one out? I want to do the same. On Mar 9, 12:50 pm, Nick nkulik...@gmail.com wrote: Hello! I'm creating a simple game for Android and faced with a problem: Idea is to have a huge map image file and re-drawonly small part of it (320*480) depending on user actions.

For instance this code: int bitHeight = mBackgroundImage.getHeight(); int bitWidth = mBackgroundImage.getWidth();BitmapcurMap =Bitmap.createBitmap(mBackgroundImage, 0, mY, 320, 480); canvas.drawBitmap(curMap, 0, 0, null); gives 320*960 (initial source image size) size for the first time and 320*455 for the second call I hope this is not a best solution and look forward to hearing a new direction or at least clarification on createBitmap method. p.s i'm not a native english speaker and i apologise for possible mistakes. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] MP3 download problem
I'm trying to download files such as:
http://www.freesound.org/download/23246/23246_acclivity_GullsByTheSea.mp3
to the SDCARD of my t-mobile G1.
I can only download about 2^16 ~ (16384 bytes) before my input stream
read returns -1.
This wouldn't be a problem if the connection object could retrieve the
content's length, so that I would keep trying the read when the total
bytes have not yet been downloaded ... but the connection object
always returns -1 for the content length.
Any thoughts or tips...
My code is below:
private synchronized void download()
{
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
InputStream inStream = null;
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try
{
//Where the file comes from
URL sourceURL = new URL(m_url);
conn = (HttpURLConnection) sourceURL.openConnection();
conn.connect();
inStream = conn.getInputStream();
Log.d(TAG, content length = + conn.getContentLength()); //
alwasy
returns -1
// Where the file is going to go
outStream = new FileOutputStream(/sdcard/Music/ +
m_newFilename);
//a read buffer
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
//read the first chunk
int readBytes = 0;
int total = 0;
readBytes = inStream.read(bytes, 0, 1024);
Log.d(TAG, readBytes = + readBytes);
while (readBytes 0)
{
total += readBytes;
//Write the buffered chunk to the file
outStream.write(bytes, 0, readBytes);
Log.d(TAG, total = + total);
try
{
wait(100);
}
catch(InterruptedException ie){}
readBytes = inStream.read(bytes, 0, 1024);
}
}

{

{

Hi, Can you please tell me how can i set the width and height of an ImageView programmically in java code (not layout xml file)? I tried setMinimumWidth/setMinimumHeight, but that does not work.

[android-developers] Re: Activity finish() question ??
If you are explicitly setting it, you will need to explicitly clear it at some point, possibly in onDestroy(). Note that you need to be very careful when doing this kind of thing. Generally the most safe global to store like this is the currently resumed activity, set in onResume() and cleared in onPause().

[android-developers] Re: What is the correct way to refresh UI when I use android:configChanges=keyboardHidden|orientation
If you actually have resources that change due to these states, you really should consider letting the normal destroy/recreate behavior execute. Otherwise, you will just need to poke through your UI, reloading and resetting resources that may have changed. There is no simple answer that can be given about what to do, because it depends entirely on what you need to have change (and you haven't said anything here about what you actually need to change).

[android-developers] Re: Difficulty Resuming SurfaceView
This will have no impact on SurfaceView, since by design it gives you a dedicated surface that you control all of the pixels for and so the window background will never be drawn in it. (That said, it does have an impact on drawing in the main window, if you have places that aren't filled by the surface view... but if you have such places, and they aren't completely opaque, then they need something to draw on top of, so you need the background, so it is not a waste.)

[android-developers] Re: distributing an app packaged with just emulator
You don't really need to send them adb. What you need to do is: - create an AVD, run the emulator with it - install your app on this emulator image - send your friends the emulator binary, the AVD itself and the corresponding system images. The AVD contains the userimage which has your app installed for the emulated device, which means you can setup the emulated device exactly as you want your friend to see it. An AVD is composed of a config file located in ~/.android/avds/name.ini and a directory located at ~/.android/avds/name.avd. You will need to edit the config.ini file in the avd directory to indicate the system images location (it's normally found in SDK/platform/android-1.5/images/). I suggest you read the extensive emulator help (see emulator -help). It describes the mechanism used to locate images. So it might sound a bit complicated at first but it should be doable once you understand the various moving parts. Good luck!

Ideally what I'd like to be able to do is create a package that is the android emulator with my app and perhaps 1 or 2 other related apps pre- installed, so that they can download it, open it and run it interactively on their computers? Has anyone ever tried this? So far I found that I can run the emulator standalone, and I assume I could probably send them just that and it would run. However the adb tool is needed to install apps. I could send them that too, and ask the to run an 'adb install myapp.apk' from the command line, but at the moment I can't even seem to do that myself. Running the emulator standalone, the adb tool can't seem to see it: samuel-josephs-computer-2:tools samueljoseph$ sudo ./adb devices List of devices attached I just get no list of devices ... I have previously used the adb tool to install apk files, but that is after I had started the emulator from eclipse - of course even then I always have to restart eclipse and the emulator two or three times before I can get the connection (I am on OSX 10.5.6., eclipse 3.4.1) ...

[android-developers] Re: problem with KeyEvent.KEYCODE_PLUS in SDK 1.5pre
No current phones have zoom in or zoom out keys. If one does, we would prefer to define a new key code for such a key rather than overloading it with plus. I'm not sure about your second question -- there is no physical key for KEYCODE_PLUS. KEYCODE_PLUS (nor any of the other key codes) is not a logical key, it is the code or a physical key. The KeyCharacterMap class is responsible for mapping from physical key events to Unicode characters. Note that you can't make any assumptions about what this mapping my be -- you can pretty much assume that there will be a wide variety of keyboard layouts in Android devices (not to mention the new soft keyboard mechanism, which allows the user to generate text without any physical keys at all).

If you really care about this, in cupcake you can go in to manage applications, see the list of applications with running processes, and force stop that one. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

[android-developers] Re: ANT Build files sdk 1.5 and beyond
I'm not sure I understand your question. I'll try something and then let me know if I got it right. The Eclipse ADT plugin does not use the ant build.xml files -- it has its own build logic and just uses the .classpath and .project files needed by Eclipse. For Ant, you don't need to write the build.xml file yourself -- in fact you should not. Instead you should use android create project to create new Android projects. You can use both Ant and Eclipse to work on the same project. If you create your project using the Eclipse Android New Project Wizard, you can run android update project to create the build.xml based on the AndroidManifes.xml. if you create your project using android create project, you get you ant build.xml. You then just need to use the Eclipse Android New Project Wizard in existing source mode to create an Eclipse project for it. Hope this helps R/ On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 5:39 AM, Fred Grott(shareme) fred.gr...@gmail.com wrote: Good morning, I am in the process of writing some new build files for Android Sdk 1.5 and beyond.

[android-developers] HTC Magic, is PhoneNumberUtils.PAUSE different?
I am getting reports that the in the HTC Magic the character that represents the pause in a dial string is different than in the Google build of cupcake. In the SDK 1.5 pre-release, the pause is given by a ','. Apparently, in the HTC magic, the pause is given by a 'p'. Unfortunately, I don't currently have the means to test this. Does anyone know if the PhoneNumberUtils.PAUSE member in the HTC magic build reflects this change? Have any other functions in PhoneNumberUtils changed in order to support this?

At this point there is no HTC Magic.
