[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences got deleted! - What could be the problem?
Just on a hunch as I have not tried it, can you remove the content URL's from your preference file and try it again (form the url inside your code, and store the variable number in prefs) Again, I have not received any lost shared prefs complaints from anyone and I did not lose any in the last couple of months during my testing. I only have simple data (no urls, no comma's), but cover all the datatypes in the preferences. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Issue: Neither user 10039 nor current process has android.permission.WAKE_LOCK || Rooted Phone || App from SD card || JF image
Hi, I now had this issue twice (see stacktrace below). I am sure that the permission is granted as I declare this in my manifest. Hence the app wouldn't be installed if the user didn't grant the permission. (a) My guess is that it's a rooted phone where the app is started from an SD card (or similar) whereby the original user id has changed after the install. (b) This could be a Cupcake feature. Acquiring wake locks has gone down a similar path as turning GPS on? I am trying to track down (a) with my users, but this takes some time. I meanwhile now that at least one user uses a JF image. Anybody else has experience with that issue? Any idea if (b) might be valid? The app works on my 1.5 emulator and on 400 phones with Cupcake, at least it is installed on them and users don't submit bug reports. So I guess (b) is not the case, but who knows?

[android-developers] Setting up UDP connections between devices
Hi, I want to setup a P2P UDP connection between two devices. The 'normal' method is to use the socket class available, but this won't work due to NAT issues etc. For this, i am using XMPP, but the default mode is TCP. To use UDP, i need to use Jingle. Can anyone tell me how to perform a basic jingle negotiation so that i can effectively gain the IP addr and port no. of the other peer. I have tried libraries like Smack API and Yingle, but they are way too complicated for my purposes. I just want to setup a UDP stream between 2 peers and transmit arbitrary data.

[android-developers] Re: Ideas behind Android's task concept
Yeah I will certainly agree that this is a bit of a mess -- it was unfortunately the result of a lot of continual iteration on the UI (often of different apps independently), leading to new feature requests each time, causing an every growing number of options. :/ We are working on cleaning up and better formalizing the overall navigation model, but that will be an ongoing process. For example in Cupcake we have finally laid down some basic rules for notifications where pressing back should always return you to whatever your were immediately previously doing, and I believe all of the standard apps now follow this. As far as contacts goes, though, this is actually intentional -- some apps (like contacts and settings) want to put the user back to their front door when relaunched from home, so they set the option to do that. This is actually a desired inconsistency. (And something you may not know -- if you select one of these apps from the long-press-on-home task switcher, this will bring it to the foreground without clearing it... I would like to make this level of task switching more discoverable and integrated with the core UI.) On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 1:41 PM, Mike Hearn mh.in.engl...@gmail.com wrote: Can someone educate me about the rationale behind Android tasks? I'm also curious to know the thought process behind their design when they were originally conceived? I think the problem they solve is that it's hard to have a multi- tasking OS when only one thing can be on the screen at once. So the idea of tasks is that you can switch quickly between them, and they preserve your state in the context of that application: Maps - View Business Details Contacts - View Contact - Edit Contact Now if am editing a contact and want to do something else like view business details, I can go back home, press the Maps icon, do whatever, and then use home to press contacts and arrive back at the edit contact screen. I guess there are a few problems with the current implementation though: it's quite complicated, and there's no real way for users to learn how it works. The obvious mental model is of a linear stack of activities, but that's not what actually happens so you get things like pressing back on the home screen does not actually take you back. And then there is a lack of guidelines around when to use the activity modes - as you have found. And finally the built-in apps do use the activity modes inconsistently. For instance my example is wrong because the contacts app does reset the task stack. I think this stuff will shake out with time. Better animations can help users figure out the application model. UI guidelines will help developers. Hopefully the built-in apps will either become consistent or at least call out in their manifests why they use certain attributes so people can learn from them. -- 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: WebView.addJavascriptInterface problems
The main problem is to access to the public attributes methods of the
instance object from javascript, because I try to implement the W3C
standard.
This standard explicit force the access to the data through public
attributes ( no from public methods).
The above class hierarchy that i shows you is not casual, the W3C
constrained it, and if i want to be according with that standard i
need to implement in this way.
My question is if i can do it using webview interface
(addJavascriptInterface), or i need to do something more to adapt it
to provide support to this standard in android. Can anybody give me
some ideas to implement this feature in android, any ideas are
welcome.

Change your API. Either move your Coordinates data members (double) into
the Position object, or put methods on the Position object to access the
Coordinates data members. Or, create a native user interface (instead of
WebView) and use whatever internal API you want.

[android-developers] AVD creation in Eclipse should be automatic
Hi Folks, In Eclipse, when launching the debugger/emulator, the AVD selection is blank until you manually create an AVD by using a command line. It seems that Eclipse knows, because it asks you, which platform you are using (Android 1.1 vs 1.5 vs 1.5+Google) and it knows what you named the run/debug configuration. So, it really has what it needs to create a default AVD, but it doesn't. End to End funtionality is what makes products great. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Geocoder not returning result
Hi, My application that uses geocoding was working fine till last week and now all of a sudden am not getting proper data from the same.

[android-developers] Re: Media Player sound state problems in G1
By the way what are these states 1, 2, 128 etc.
Can't android people name it when raising exceptions so that
developers could know better what is the cause of exception?
I am getting full irritated because of these sound issues particularly
with the MediaPlayer and its states in android
On May 8, 10:33 am, Sudha sudhaker...@gmail.com wrote:
I have nearly 28 sound files in which most of them have the duration
less than a second (i.e in milliseconds), to reduce the delay in
creating the player everytime, i created a player for each sound file
i.e 28 MediaPlayers and each sound file plays on its own player and
all the sounds are managed by a separate single thread (FYI only that
sound thread can call these methods no other thread can start the
sounds explicitly), so I can confirm that all the methos calling is
done by a single thread.
and regarding the other code, i have posted all what am using and the
only other thing which is not here is the constructor which converts
the given input stream to a file as the MediaPlayer cannot play sounds
directly with a stream.
(I am packing all the sounds in a single pack and open it at runtime
and give the input stream to Player as it is done in J2ME, so again am
converting the given input stream to a file.)
Here is the below code of Constructor.
protected PlayerImpl(String fileName1, InputStream inputstream)
{
fileName = fileName1;
fileInputStream = inputstream;
//Creates a FileOutput pointer to dump the InputStream., with
permissions: 662 (rw- rw- -w-)
FileOutputStream fOut = null;
try{
fOut = Utils.getContext().openFileOutput
(fileName,Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE);
}
catch(Exception filenotfound){
if (Utils.debugEnabled)
android.util.Log.d(Player ERROR,FileOutputStream
FAILED!);
}
//we dump the 'stream here...
int n;
try {
while ((n=inputstream.read(FOS_BUFFER))=0)
{
fOut.write(FOS_BUFFER, 0, n);
}
//we close fOut but DO NOT CLOSE fIn !!
fOut.close();
} catch (IOException e1) {
if (Utils.debugEnabled)
android.util.Log.d(Player ERROR,temp file creation
FAILED);
}
}
I dont think this Constructor has anything to do with the errors I
get, to point-out mostly i found these errors are raised when the
device is kept idle for sometime while sounds are playing, the device
backlight goes off and device enters the idle state
at this point all these exceptions are raised and with less
reproducibility my game crashes.
does the phone stop the sounds while it goes to standby mode?
I have my own code to stop the sounds when an interrupt occurs, so
does this conflict with the device method calls?
On May 7, 7:59 pm, Marco Nelissen marc...@android.com wrote:
Based on the code you posted, the stop called in state 2 is because you
call stop() in your OnCompletionListener, which isn't necessary (it's
already stopped at that point).
I don't see how the other problems could happen with the code you posted,
unless you have multiple threads accidentally using the same MediaPlayer, or
there is some other code involved that you didn't post.

The solution btw is this:
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
if (this.in_text) {
String text = new String(ch, start, length);
this.myObject.setBigText(this.myObject.getBigText()+text);

I cannot understand why the XML parser can not read more than 1024

Is this some king of bug?

I could see that all my test cases are executed but no coverage file is generated at '/ sdcard'. case 2: I am trying to execute from eclipse. When i did all coverage configuration settings and try to run the application, it pops up a message saying, No coverage data file has been written during this coverage session. Please make sure that your application does NOT include EMMA run time libraries or EMMA configurations.Do not terminate java process manually from Eclipse Please do clarify my error.

As far as contacts goes, though, this is actually intentional -- some apps (like contacts and settings) want to put the user back to their front door when relaunched from home, so they set the option to do that.

[android-developers] why webview swap load new url only after animation?
Hi, i need to load several url to a webview in animated transition. i used 2 webviews; prev_view and next_view. if we click on next button, next_view will appear with right to left animation covering the prev_view underneath. on back press. next_view will move left to right showing the prev_view. like a book pages problem: as i have 100 urls(local html files) to load on webview, each time i need to load new url while animation but it does animate the old one and after animation end shows the new url. is it possible to disable the cache and load new url while animation? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Recent-apps dialog revives finish()'ed activities
We've got a problem on 1.5 with the task switcher dialog (which, by the way, I love and am very grateful for). We've got a couple of notificationy activities which close, and call finish(), and should never be seen again. But, under some circumstances, these can be seen and switched to via the task switcher. I think this happens when they are the last activity left for the task. What's the proper way to kill these things off ?

[android-developers] Video streaming error in SDK 1.5
the moov and mdat atoms should already be there, (IIRC) they are required for a well-formed movie file. the moov atom provides metadata for the movie, and the mdat atom provides the actual content. however, if the file is being streamed, the client needs to know the metadata before the actual content arrives, therefore the moov atom must be ahead of the mdat atom. can't stream the stuff in the mdat if you don't know what format it is. there are some tools around to swap the atom order so that a file is streamable, but doing it yourself is reasonably straightforward. one way is to go through the file remembering the positions and sizes of the atoms, then reorder the list, and write out a new copy of the file with everything in the right place. check the Qt file format docs. i will have to do this too at some point but i don't know whether at some point is good enough for your schedule. hth j Hi Dave... I tried to add mdat atom using Hex editor...Bur When i play the video its give error... Please Can you tell me how can i do the video streaming...

[android-developers] Re: Media Player sound state problems in G1
On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 2:31 AM, Sudha sudhaker...@gmail.com wrote: By the way what are these states 1, 2, 128 etc. 1 is 'idle' 2 is 'initialized' 128 is 'playback complete' (see mediaplayer.h) So let's take another look at the error messages you were seeing: 1- E/MediaPlayer( 2173): stop called in state 1 This means you called MediaPlayer.stop() while the MediaPlayer was 'idle', i.e. never initialized. This should be harmless, but I don't see how it could happen with the code you posted, since you only seem to be calling stop() from your OnCompletionListener, and in order for your OnCompletionListener to be called, the MediaPlayer would have to be initialized, and in any case would be in the 'playback complete' state. 2- E/MediaPlayer( 2173): stop called in state 2 I made a comment about this one in my earlier reply, but that comment was wrong. This one means you called stop() in the 'initialized' state, which is the state MediaPlayer is in once you call setDataSource(). Not sure how this would happen with the code you posted, since you appear to always be following a call to setDataSource() with a call to start(). 3- E/MediaPlayer( 2173): setDataSource called in state 2 This means you're calling setDataSource() twice in a row. Again, not sure how this could happen with the code you posted, and given that you said you only have one thread. 4- E/MediaPlayer( 2173): setDataSource called in state 128 This means you're calling setDataSource() after playback has completed, without first resetting the MediaPlayer to its uninitialized state by calling reset(). Not sure how this could happen with the code you posted, since you call stop() and reset() in your OnCompletionListener. 5- E/MediaPlayer( 2173): prepareAsync called in state 128 E/MediaPlayer( 2173): setDataSource called in state 128 W/System.err( 2173): java.lang.IllegalStateException W/System.err( 2173):at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(Native Method) This one looks a bit suspicious, since it complains about both prepareAsync and setDataSource at the same time, and you're not even calling prepareAsync() in the code you posted. 6- E/MediaPlayerService( 31): offset error E/MediaPlayer( 2173): Unable to to create media player You would get this when using the (filedescriptor+offset+length) parameters for playback, and the offset is past the end of the file. Since you're only specifying a filedescriptor, and aren't using the offset/length parameters, it can only mean that the file you tried to play had a size of zero. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I would suggest using SoundPool instead. 28 MediaPlayers is a bit much. and regarding the other code, i have posted all what am using and the only other thing which is not here is the constructor which converts the given input stream to a file as the MediaPlayer cannot play sounds directly with a stream. (I am packing all the sounds in a single pack and open it at runtime and give the input stream to Player as it is done in J2ME, so again am converting the given input stream to a file.) You should pack these sounds as resources in your apk, and then play them by resource id or using an AssetFileDescriptor. (you can do this with both MediaPlayer or SoundPool) (...) does the phone stop the sounds while it goes to standby mode? I have my own code to stop the sounds when an interrupt occurs, so does this conflict with the device method calls? Unless you specifically tell the phone to stay awake (by using a partial wakelock, for example), it may go to sleep, and will stop audio playback while it sleeps. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] IME sample in the SDK
Hi, I want to create a new on-screen-keyboard, and I thought that a good start point will be to see how the SoftKeyboard sample in the SDK (under the SDK folder: android-sdk-windows-1.5_r1\platforms \android-1.5\samples\SoftKeyboard) works. But it doesn't! I run it in Eclipse. So, it compile, then the emulator starts, and under Settings-Localetext I see the new keyboard. But it does not show up when I click on a textbox. Only the regular on- screen keyboard appears. Am I missing something?

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
Sounds a little bit backward. It forces me to manually switch options on off, loosing my time. It basically forbids me to delegate this to my app, which is bad. There are many valid reasons why apps need to activate GPS, while I want to keep it off by default, use cases that come immediatly to mind: -) DroidTracker. Why should I have my GPS turned on all the time if it's needed twice an hour? -) ToogleGPS. Why should I have to go through the Settings app, if pressing on button on the home screen is enough. Hint: Pressing one button on the homescreen is way safer and easier than trying to navigate the settings while driving. -) Navigation. Why does my nav app forces me to manually enable GPS? (It suggests visiting Settings.) -) refining locations. E.g. for many cases where location based decisions are needed, it might be enough to monitor the GSM/UMTS cell location, and switch on GPS only when entering interesting cells. Example would be an app that turns on Wifi only when I near home, depending where, the cell location might be enough, but in the country you can have rather big cells. Furthermore, why does Android do not provide a fast UI to change all these settings? (Guess the fact that there are some dozen settings changing apps from the simple ToogleGPS to apps that reconfigure the phone based on rules got lost on the Google guys. Guess satisfying a demand is irrelevant to them.) Guess you could build an even safer and even more consistent user experience by disallowing any 3rd party apps to be installed? If you want to put me into the driver seat with my G1, well, I could think of a number ideas: -) allow/disallow net access dynamically. E.g. relevant when data is getting expensive: E.g. Email might be allowed to work even with data roaming, all other apps not. -) allow the user to control how a connection is built, e.g. via carrier or via Wifi. -) allow the user to see which network connections/URLs where done by an app. -) allow the user to control which network connections/URL fetches are allowed. -) warn the user about apps that share permissions. (two apps that share uid have also a shared set of permissions that is the union of both). -) allow the user to see which app uses GPS, Bluetooth, and so on. Basically, you are claiming to help the user to have control of the device, but what if the user wants these changes to happen based on some rules? And while you are closing some theoretical loop hole (e.g. somebody could track my location), this seems rather stupid: GPS and Bluetooth that have this dangerous connotations both display an icon in the notification bar. So any clandestine use of it would get noticed rather fast, even if not by all users, enough users would notice and raise a stink. OTOH, you have no problem with leaving the user at the mercy of the developers when it comes to data connectivity. Which is way more complicated to detect, and if you avoid doing your sinister plot while on Wifi, very hard to detect. (When the BadApp keeps silent while on Wifi, the only simple way to catch it by inspecting the data traffic with a sniffer is gone, ...) Andreas On 24 Apr., 17:34, Jean-Baptiste Queru j...@android.com wrote: All right, here's the deal: One of the reasons that motivated the change is battery life, which is a major point of frustration for many Android users. More precisely, we've noticed in our testing that there was a strong correlation between user complaints about battery life and specific applications being installed, and a deeper investigation showed that those apps were indeed causing poor battery life by turning hardware on in a way that users weren't expecting. Restricting access to those settings through an explicit UI was found to be an appropriate mechanism for users to known precisely enough what was going on and to get appropriate expectations about battery life. Another reason that motivated the change is an overall concern about privacy and abuse. There've been concerns that changing settings like GPS, data roaming, wifi, airplane mode without the user's explicit action for each operation was inappropriate. Both of those areas were broadly reported by users, by carriers, and in the press. 1.5 addresses those concerns based on the feedback that we're received, by putting the user in better control of their phone.

Having a location based application, the number one issue we had was being able to automatically turn on / off GPS based on an application setting. Which quite frankly makes some sense. Having to prompt the user each time to turn on / off gps is a giant pain from the standpoint of program flow. I have used our applications setting to actually turn GPS off, because it was faster to open our
[android-developers] OutOfMemoryError when changing screen orientation
Hi,
I get an OutOfMemoryError every time i change the screen orientation
and I am having a hard time finding the mistake...

sometimes it goes fine until imgUpload.setImageURI(imageURI);

and 2048x1536pixels

-
private ImageView imgUpload;
private Spinner spnCollections;
private Button btnEditMetadata;
private Button btnUpload;
private Uri imageURI;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.upload);
// Get View References

spnCollections = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spnCollections);
btnEditMetadata = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnEditMetadata);
btnUpload = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnUpload);

Use Handler Functions for the play action. But when user move touch quickly, both ways cannot play every key voice files in the process. sometime, only the first and last have been played.

Really? On my own device, I can uninstall the previous version and install the new version even signed with a different key. There must be a way for the developer to upload the new version with a different key in the Android Market. It makes sense for many possible scenarios. 1) the developer lost the original key, e.g. after the laptop was stolen; 2) the original private key was leaked out or hacked by someone else; ... Does anyone know how to solve the problem or know who could help in the Google company?

[android-developers] Re: How to have singleInstance of the activity and relay information back to parent.
Indeed, you can't, because singleInstance (and singleTask) means that the activity is managed independently of the previous activity that is launching it, so there can be know guarantees about when or in what order the result will be returned. Don't use singleInstance. Why do you want singleInstance? You probably don't. You have to realize that by doing this you are splitting your app into separate tasks, which will mess up the user's interaction with it as they go in and out of your app. As far as you using singleInstance as a way to hide the fact that your activity is too slow to start... really, I would suggest fixing that instead. :) If your view hierarchy takes too long to inflate, it is probably way overly complicated -- either with a lot of complicated layout managers that can be simplified, or a lot of things that are normally hidden that you should only inflate when needed (see Romain's articles on this for help). If there are other things you do that are slow, you can look at keeping those objects in singletons in your process so they only need to be created the first time the activity is started, and can be re-used thereafter as long as your process is aound. (But first optimize optimize optimize to try to make them not slow! If your activity is so slow to start that you are doing this, you are making it only somewhat better by reducing the times the user need to wait... there will still be many times when they still need to wait.)

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
The GPS toggle in the system settings is a **PRIVACY** setting. It's just there to allow applications to turn the GPS on or off. Applications are in control of the GPS and can turn it off/on (when it's on you see a GPS icon in the status bar) whenever they want. If an app is keeping the GPS on all the time, it's a problem with the app. On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 4:09 AM, yacc yacc...@gmail.com wrote: Sounds a little bit backward. It forces me to manually switch options on off, loosing my time. It basically forbids me to delegate this to my app, which is bad. There are many valid reasons why apps need to activate GPS, while I want to keep it off by default, use cases that come immediatly to mind: -) DroidTracker. Why should I have my GPS turned on all the time if it's needed twice an hour? -) ToogleGPS. Why should I have to go through the Settings app, if pressing on button on the home screen is enough. Hint: Pressing one button on the homescreen is way safer and easier than trying to navigate the settings while driving. -) Navigation. Why does my nav app forces me to manually enable GPS? (It suggests visiting Settings.) -) refining locations. E.g. for many cases where location based decisions are needed, it might be enough to monitor the GSM/UMTS cell location, and switch on GPS only when entering interesting cells. Example would be an app that turns on Wifi only when I near home, depending where, the cell location might be enough, but in the country you can have rather big cells. Furthermore, why does Android do not provide a fast UI to change all these settings? (Guess the fact that there are some dozen settings changing apps from the simple ToogleGPS to apps that reconfigure the phone based on rules got lost on the Google guys. Guess satisfying a demand is irrelevant to them.) Guess you could build an even safer and even more consistent user experience by disallowing any 3rd party apps to be installed? If you want to put me into the driver seat with my G1, well, I could think of a number ideas: -) allow/disallow net access dynamically. E.g. relevant when data is getting expensive: E.g. Email might be allowed to work even with data roaming, all other apps not. -) allow the user to control how a connection is built, e.g. via carrier or via Wifi. -) allow the user to see which network connections/URLs where done by an app. -) allow the user to control which network connections/URL fetches are allowed. -) warn the user about apps that share permissions. (two apps that share uid have also a shared set of permissions that is the union of both). -) allow the user to see which app uses GPS, Bluetooth, and so on. Basically, you are claiming to help the user to have control of the device, but what if the user wants these changes to happen based on some rules? And while you are closing some theoretical loop hole (e.g. somebody could track my location), this seems rather stupid: GPS and Bluetooth that have this dangerous connotations both display an icon in the notification bar. So any clandestine use of it would get noticed rather fast, even if not by all users, enough users would notice and raise a stink. OTOH, you have no problem with leaving the user at the mercy of the developers when it comes to data connectivity. Which is way more complicated to detect, and if you avoid doing your sinister plot while on Wifi, very hard to detect. (When the BadApp keeps silent while on Wifi, the only simple way to catch it by inspecting the data traffic with a sniffer is gone, ...) Andreas On 24 Apr., 17:34, Jean-Baptiste Queru j...@android.com wrote: All right, here's the deal: One of the reasons that motivated the change is battery life, which is a major point of frustration for many Android users. More precisely, we've noticed in our testing that there was a strong correlation between user complaints about battery life and specific applications being installed, and a deeper investigation showed that those apps were indeed causing poor battery life by turning hardware on in a way that users weren't expecting. Restricting access to those settings through an explicit UI was found to be an appropriate mechanism for users to known precisely enough what was going on and to get appropriate expectations about battery life. Another reason that motivated the change is an overall concern about privacy and abuse. There've been concerns that changing settings like GPS, data roaming, wifi, airplane mode without the user's explicit action for each operation was inappropriate. Both of those areas were broadly reported by users, by carriers, and in the press. 1.5 addresses those concerns based on the feedback that we're received, by putting the user in better control of their phone.

[android-developers] Re: Android v. 1.5 = FAIL #2: Directly Manipulating Settings
As I've said, it would be reasonable to have a facility for power manager kind of stuff to get involved in this. This setting is not the way. And it NEVER was. Do you realize what we are seeing here? People complaining that their app can no longer turn on the setting whenever it wants, and people complaining that their power manager or whatever app can longer change the setting. Do you see that, put these together under one boolean setting, and it DOES NOT WORK. Even ignoring that this setting is -really- for the USER to override anything the applications on their device do. If you care enough about this, contribute a patch to the platform to add a facility for power manager kinds of apps to do what they want. I expect I will implement such a thing at some point, but it is currently a much lower priority than many other things so I don't know when that would be. So if you want to help out, we can talk on android-framework about the API and UI for such a thing. If you just want to complain and not help anyone, feel free to continue here.

There is also the case of At 3:15, if Locale cannot find MyWorkWifi, I want it to turn on GPS and see where I am. If I'm home, turn off 3g.

[android-developers] Re: How to have singleInstance of the activity and relay information back to parent.
It is currently about 200ms to launch an empty activity. You have a fair amount of control over the additional time on top of that. On Fri, May 8, 2009 at 10:36 AM, kingtut elzoha...@gmail.com wrote: That makes sense, but going back to the X Y Z example, I have lists in X and Y with items that open in Z, so I go back and forth a lot between Z and either X or Y. I want the user experience to be seamless, and according to the performance guide http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/performance.html launching an activity (even an empty one) is one of the heaviest operations you can do. Is there a way to reuse an activity that has been opened once? On May 8, 1:02 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Indeed, you can't, because singleInstance (and singleTask) means that the activity is managed independently of the previous activity that is launching it, so there can be know guarantees about when or in what order the result will be returned. Don't use singleInstance. Why do you want singleInstance? You probably don't. You have to realize that by doing this you are splitting your app into separate tasks, which will mess up the user's interaction with it as they go in and out of your app. As far as you using singleInstance as a way to hide the fact that your activity is too slow to start... really, I would suggest fixing that instead. :) If your view hierarchy takes too long to inflate, it is probably way overly complicated -- either with a lot of complicated layout managers that can be simplified, or a lot of things that are normally hidden that you should only inflate when needed (see Romain's articles on this for help). If there are other things you do that are slow, you can look at keeping those objects in singletons in your process so they only need to be created the first time the activity is started, and can be re-used thereafter as long as your process is aound. (But first optimize optimize optimize to try to make them not slow! If your activity is so slow to start that you are doing this, you are making it only somewhat better by reducing the times the user need to wait... there will still be many times when they still need to wait.)

[android-developers] Class derived from IntentService must have default constructor
I'm posting this to share the lessons I learned while working with
IntentService.
IntentService has a single constructor that takes a string argument
name. The documentation has no description of what name is used for.
In looking at the sources, I found that its only use is in naming the
worker thread for the IntentService. This thread is named IntentService
[name].
I initially implemented the constructor of the derived class to also
take a String argument and passed it along to the derived class. This
is wrong. This will cause the startService() call to generated a
java.lang.InstantiationException in the application containing the
service i.e. you don't get the exception in the application calling
startService(). A clue to the actual problem is a little further up in
the logs:newInstance failed: no init()
The derived class must have a Default constructor and that constructor
must call super() passing a string for the name component of the
worker thread name.
public class MyIntentService extends IntentService
{
public MyIntentService() {
super(MyIntentService);
}
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent)
{
// Handle events on worker thread here
}
}

[android-developers] Re: Recent-apps dialog revives finish()'ed activities
Well, they definitely do something that feels a lot like lingering, in that they go away when the user tells them to (in a manner which was effectively permanent in 1.1), and then they are later revived by the switcher. It's a rather odd user experience. Here's an activity which the user can't launch directly, and which they have said they are finished with, so they will be confused to find a way back to it. Or, to put it another way, in 1.1 a call of finish() meant the activity was finished, and it went away forever. In 1.5 that is no longer true. It seems very strange to say that an activity has no way to really terminate itself, so I'm trying to understand the context which makes that sensible. Do you see what I mean ?

[android-developers] Re: How to play voice files on Touch Event
MotionEvent has the history of all the points between the last event and the current one you are processing, if you are not able to keep up with them. That said, the driver only reports samples at a limited rate, so it would still be possible to not see points at some places if the finger is moved really fast. If you really want to determine every possible key the finger hit, you will need to compute a line between the points and determine which ones intersect the line.

[android-developers] Re: Recent-apps dialog revives finish()'ed activities
Like Marco said, this is NOT running tasks, it is just the most recent tasks the user has started. If they select one of these items, either the current task will be brought to the foreground or a new one started if there is not an existing one. It makes perfect sense if you look at this as recent tasks (for example like the recent applications in the windows start menu). And as a general rule, activities that are created from a notification should not be in this list. If it makes sense for the user to come back to that activity, they can do so by going back through the notification.

[android-developers] Re: Updated to 1.5 and R.java is not regeneratated
Not sure what problem you have, but if it's related to the gen folder, just create it manually, and then right click it and choose Build Path Use as source folder Xav 2009/5/7 LambergaR martin.s...@gmail.com: I am having the same problem. Richards solution doasnt help either. Any advice?

Thanks!

The idea was tonotconvertand pre-existinggenfolder(or file) into an Eclipsesourcefolder. Are you sure you didn't have thegenfolderbefore updating to ADT 0.9? thanks Xav On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 2:46 PM, Richard Schilling richard.rootwirel...@gmail.com wrote: O.K. I resolved this. The problem was related to the fact that Eclipse couldn't properly handle thegendirectory that it created. This error is generated: [2009-04-30 14:14:15 - MyApp] /MyApp/genalreadyexistsbutisnota sourcefolder.Convertto asourcefolderorrenameit. So, here's how I resolved this problem: 1. Make sure Android 1.1 platform is selected for the project. 2. Delete thegendirectory - let Eclipse update .classpath (if it asks). 3. Clean the project - Eclipse will regenerate thegendirectory 4. Add the directorygento the Javasourceclasspath if R.java cannot be resolved. 5. Clean the project again. 6. if you still have a problem with the above error showing up, delete thegendirectory again and let Eclipse regenerate it. This should clear up the error. Perhaps a change to the Eclipse plugin or the Eclipse API needs to be made - I don't know. But, at least my projects are building now.

I'm updating all of my projects. Some projects update with no problem. But, some Eclipse projects don't regenerate R.java properly in thegen directory. I've set the Android platform to 1.1. I've cleaned the project. I've refreshed the project. R.java is stillnotbeing generated. Help! This issue prevents production applications from being bult at the moment.
