[android-developers] Back navigation for database stored web pages
Greetings all,
I have a problem with the Back navigation within my web-view.
Here is what I would like to have:
On the device there is a database containing some web-pages. The User
is able to search the content of the database and view the stored
pages. Those pages contain some links.
If the user clicks on one of those links the click is intercepted. If
the reference set within this link is also part of the database, the
stored content is displayed, otherwise a remote URL is loaded.
This works great so far, but the problem I have is, that when I want
to do a back navigation, always the address for my remote location is
displayed and the method for searching the local database is not
shown.
The data from my content provider is displayed with the method:
code
public void showContent(ByteArrayOutputStream content, String title)
{
if (activity!=null)
activity.setTitle(URLDecoder.decode(title));
// loadData(content.toString(), MIME_TYPE, DEFAULT_ENCODING);
loadDataWithBaseURL(BASE_URL + title, content.toString(),
MIME_TYPE,
DEFAULT_ENCODING, REMOTE_URL + title);
}
/code
I implemented my own WebViewClient and overloaded the method '
shouldOverrideUrlLoading' to intercepted the loading of the requested
URL.
There I parse the URL and – call 'showContent' of my WebView to
displayByteArrayOutputStream stored within my database, otherwise I
load the the URL directly by calling 'loadUrl' of the WebView.
On back navigation, the method shouldOverrideUrlLoading is not called
or the URL is formated differently so I could not read the correct
data from the database.
If needed, I can provide a test-application that shows what I mean,
but I hope this will suffice.
Thanks for your help beforehand,
Aracos

[android-developers] Deadlock in GLSurfaceView
We are developing an application that uses a GLSurfaceView to display 3D objects. We regularly get the Application Not Responding dialog. Inspection of the dumped threads reveals something that looks suspiciously like a deadlock. I have added the three thread dumps involved below. The first thread is the main application event thread, and it is waiting on a join with a GLThread. The second thread is a brand new GLThread that is waiting for a semaphore lock presumably so it knows it has exclusive access to the graphics hardware. The third thread is probably a previous GLThread (the one the main thread is waiting for to finish), that is waiting to be notified. The strange thing is that the main application thread has just done a mDone=true; notify(); prior to calling wait(), so the third thread should have been awaken? - Has anyone else run into this issue? - Does anyone know of a workaround? Any help would be appreciated!

[android-developers] Rendering by reading vertices from File
Hi,
We have a project based on 3D Streaming. We have our own 3D studio,
its plugin are available for 3d Max and Maya. After creating model in
3ds Max or Maya, we need to export it into .q3z file structure.
Now, this .q3z file is placed on the server and by calling it from
Android Player this player should be able to decode that file and
render it. The decoding part is over and now I am facing some problem
in rendering. This file is compressed form of .q30 and .q3A files
which has obejct and animations related data. The .q3z file also
contains bmp files related to textures.
Now I would like to directly read the vertices from .q3o and .q3A file
and then render it. The contents of .Q3A file are as under :-

Any ideas to increase that duration? as Dianne said, use Dialog for that but if you really, really, really want Toast for that there is a dirty, tricky workaround (hack) of showing the same Toast in say two seconds after the first time Toast was shown. something like this: postDelayed(showToastAgainRunnable, 2000) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Rotate A View Permanently
It's actually really easy, and you don't need to use animations. I
did something like this recently by using a wrapper layout that
adjusts the Canvas and any MotionEvents. (You could also use this
approach rotate the entire layout to any arbitrary angle.)
I think romainguy told me to use Canvas.concat(mForward) instead of
setMatrix(), but I haven't updated the code in awhile.
private static class FlipLayout extends FrameLayout {
private Matrix mForward = new Matrix();
private Matrix mReverse = new Matrix();
private float[] mTemp = new float[2];
public FlipLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
mForward.postRotate(180);
mForward.invert(mReverse);
}
@Override
protected void dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.setMatrix(mForward);
super.dispatchDraw(canvas);
}
@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
final float[] temp = mTemp;
temp[0] = event.getX();
temp[1] = event.getY();
mReverse.mapPoints(temp);
event.setLocation(temp[0], temp[1]);
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
}
}

method, but I have been unable to find a means of keeping the view
rotated. Repeating the animation doesn't suit my purposes, and in fact
I don't want an animation at all if possible. What I would like is
something akin to a transformation, except to be used on a TextView or

I have considering overriding methods to accomplish this task by
slightly modifying the animation code, but I'm not sure how extensive
the work for this would be. Additionally, I'm not sure where to find
the source for those methods.
If anyone could recommend a means of accomplishing this task, whether
it be by an override or perhaps something simple that I am missing, I
would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

[android-developers] Debugging a service
Hi, I have written activity that starts a service that can be accessed remotely (similar to the Remote service API sample), it compiles and appears to run fine. The service has a LoctaionManager and a TelephonyManager that detect GSM and GPS location changes and should send a string back to any process that is bound to it. I am having trouble getting the service to output debug info using Log.d(TAG, OUTPUT) so i can debug some issue's i'm having. Can anyone tell me how i should go about getting a service to output some text to the logcat file? or any other pointers on debugging it?

[android-developers] Starting service in separate thread
Hi,
i have a little frontend showing a list of items that it will retrieve
from a service. I want that service to be started in a separate thread
so the UI is still responding to user interaction while waiting for
that service to call a callback method.
What is the best way to start the service in a detached thread? My
current solution is:
new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
// start Service
Intent intent = new Intent(MyServiceAction);
try {
startService(intent);
}
catch(Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, Unable to start Service: +
e.getMessage());
}
}
}.start();
It seems that the service is still in the same thread as my UI. The
debugger doesn't show an additional thread. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for help
Lutz

[android-developers] A problem for arm-eabi-gdb to load sharedlibrary
Dear all,
It seems that Android prebuilt arm-eabi-gdb will have problem to load
some shared library. arm-eabi-gdb will load the shared library to
wrong address, such as 0xfff?. Then we can't set trace the
breakpoints of these libraries.
We got the warning message like these:
.dynamic section for libhardware.so is not at the expected address
difference appears to be caused by prelink, adjusting expectations
After review the code of android toolchain, I remove some code in
android-toolchain-20081019/gdb-6.6/gdb/solib-svr4.c
/* If the changes match the alignment requirements, we
assume we're using a core file that was generated by the
same binary, just prelinked with a different base offset.
If it doesn't match, we may have a different binary, the
same binary with the dynamic table loaded at an unrelated
location, or anything, really. To avoid regressions,
don't adjust the base offset in the latter case, although
odds are that, if things really changed, debugging won't
quite work. */
#if 0
if ((l_addr align) == 0 ((dynaddr - l_dynaddr) align) == 0)
{
l_addr = l_dynaddr - dynaddr;
warning (_(.dynamic section for \%s\
is not at the expected address), so-so_name);
warning (_(difference appears to be caused by prelink,
adjusting expectations));
}
else
#endif
warning (_(.dynamic section for \%s\
is not at the expected address
(wrong library or version mismatch?)), so-so_name);
Then it can load sharedlibrary normally. But I'm not sure if it's
right solution to resolve this issue. So post these message. Anyone
can help?
Regards,
Jill

You don't want the service to be started in a background thread, because
there is no such concept. All Android components share a common primary

Instead, have the service start its own background thread and do its

If I could find some recent Andorid Dev contracts I could probably put out a rough draft as a Knol article since my developing AndCooper Build tool has sharpened by ANT/Android Sdk knowledge.. For example, if you develop the ANt build scripts one way you can have the script be flexible enough to support stand by build of a non apk Android library or can have it compile as an input for another Android Project as a two step incremental compile for those who develop the lib at he saem tiem the first project using it.. Dev branch of AndCooper still not on GoogleCode hosting yet..polishing up today to get it there..But, with the full re-write I did about a week ago I am finding every user case that I see on the dev lists passes even the tough ones such as a main project and lib project as one incremental build On Jul 27, 8:30 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: Fred Grott(shareme) wrote: You should see my posts about Customizing the SDK as I cover that subject :) In fact maybe it should be covered somewhere ..would make nice ebook chapter on android programming Yeah, if there were only somebody out there who was publishing ebooks on Android development...that'd be sweet... ;-) I have this sort of stuff on my roster of chapters to add to the Advanced Android book.

[android-developers] Two SurfaceViews in a FrameLayout
Hi, I have two SurfaceViews in one FrameLayout. So they are stacked upon another. What I want to achieve is to use the lower SurfaceView as kind of background that is changing heavily, and the upper SurfaceView as annotation overlay. So the upper SurfaceView has a (small) number of quickly changing elements that I will draw. Somehow, I can always only see one of the SurfaceViews, depending on which one is top. I thought that SurfaceViews are always transparent, but it seems I am missing something here. Any thoughts on why I can't overlay two SurfaceViews?

That is difficult for me to answer in the abstract. The goal behind the separate thread is so you can release the UI thread back to Android, so it can render your GUI and such.

[android-developers] Instrumentation on the virtual keyboard.
Hello devs,
I'm using Intrumentation to invoke keystrokes and mouse events, but I
have a problem when trying to do so on the virtual keyboard. If the
virtual keyboard pops up and I want to send a mouse event to click on
a character of the keyboard, I get that error/warning in the console:
W/WindowManager( 586): Permission denied: injecting pointer event
from pid 1580 uid 10020 to window Window{437522d0 InputMethod
paused=false} owned by uid 10003
Is there a way to make it work? I know I can't do instrumentation on
native activites, does the native keyboard acts like a native
activity?
Thanks.

[android-developers] Is there a way to start updating all apps in a row ?
For now, updating Android apps is a pain : you must go to the android market my download section (and not in the Manage Application system setting section, which is very counter intuitive), then scroll to each app needing an update, clic on it, run the update, and go back, then clic on the next one... I know that installing an app requires permissions, you can't do it programmatically without asking the user the permission.

[android-developers] Re: Can't find file with OpenFile
Files created with Context.openFileOutput are in the context they
were created in. 99% of the time you don't really care what that
physical location is, you just retrieve the same file using the name
with Context.openFileInput.
If memory serves the actual physical location is /data/data/
package_name/, or somewhere nearby. You can use the ADB or the Eclipse
plugin file browser to browse around and find the exact location. The
reason this is usually irrelevant though, is the permissions will only
be set for the application that stored it, you can't access it from
other apps anyway (not if created with openFileOutput).

[android-developers] Re: Why force java 1.5?
We recently changed our build system to force you to use javac 1.5. While you can build the system with javac 1.6 (and you can certainly build apps with 1.6), many members of the Android team still need to use javac 1.5 for various reasons (mostly because Mac OS X.) If someone uses javac 1.6, we are at risk of checking in code that does not compile on javac 1.5 (use of @Override on interface methods.) This has been the cause of broken builds several times in the past. While we could simply use -target 1.5 -source 1.5 with javac 1.6, we decided to not take risk and make sure everyone uses a similar compiler. Thus the enforcement of javac 1.5.

I've been trying to find a means of rotating a view such that it is
flipped upside-down and stays that way. I found the Rotation Animation
method, but I have been unable to find a means of keeping the view
rotated. Repeating the animation doesn't suit my purposes, and in fact
I don't want an animation at all if possible. What I would like is
something akin to a transformation, except to be used on a TextView or
a LinearLayout.
I have considering overriding methods to accomplish this task by
slightly modifying the animation code, but I'm not sure how extensive
the work for this would be. Additionally, I'm not sure where to find
the source for those methods.
If anyone could recommend a means of accomplishing this task, whether
it be by an override or perhaps something simple that I am missing, I
would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

Yup - it is a crazy fee, depending on the exchange rate it's about half the cost of the phone. When I got my ADP1 I had it shipped to my in-laws in the U.S. I brought it home with me on a visit. If you're gone from Canada more than a week you get a $750.00 duty free allowance so you're okay there. But it's probably a moot point right now as it seems that the ADP1 is out of stock.

Files created with Context.openFileOutput are in the context they

If memory serves the actual physical location is /data/data/
package_name/, or somewhere nearby. You can use the ADB or the Eclipse
plugin file browser to browse around andfindthe exact location. The
reason this is usually irrelevant though, is the permissions will only
be set for the application that stored it, youcan'taccess it from

Donut is not a specific version, just a code branch, but it features should be implemented by all carriers and it should be available for all Android devices, but implementation times will likely vary (i.e. when you will actually get an update-notification).

[android-developers] Re: invoking the dialer multiple time
Quick additional question regarding the problem I'm facing:
Is it possible to kill the process running the dialer and restart it ?
Thanks,
On Jul 26, 6:45 am, flohier floh...@gmail.com wrote:
Dear All,
I wrote an app that places an outgoing call via the ACTION_CALL
intent.
After the call is placed, the dialer enters the call log window and at
that point, my application cannot re-submit an outgoing call without
having the user exit the call log activity.
From the kernel source, InCallScreen.java shows implements the
delayedCleanupAfterDisconnect() method where one can read:
.
// If this is a call that was initiated by the user,
and
// we're *not* in emergency mode, finish the call by
// taking the user to the Call Log.
// Otherwise we simply call finish(), which will take
us
// back to wherever we came from.
if (mShowCallLogAfterDisconnect !
isPhoneStateRestricted()) {
if (VDBG) log(- Show Call Log after
disconnect...);
final Intent intent = PhoneApp.createCallLogIntent
();
startActivity(intent);
// Even in this case we still call finish()
(below),
// to make sure we don't stay in the activity
history.
}
finish();
The mShowCallLogAfterDisconnect is a boolean also in InCallScreen.java
that reads:
// Flag indicating whether or not we should bring up the Call Log
when
// exiting the in-call UI due to the Phone becoming idle. (This
is
// true if the most recently disconnected Call was initiated by
the
// user, or false if it was an incoming call.)
// This flag is used by delayedCleanupAfterDisconnect(), and is
set by
// onDisconnect() (which is the only place that either posts a
// DELAYED_CLEANUP_AFTER_DISCONNECT event *or* calls
// delayedCleanupAfterDisconnect() directly.)
private boolean mShowCallLogAfterDisconnect;
If I trust the comment properly, the dialer will enter the call log
activity unless we had an incoming call triggering InCallScreen. I
presume that by call was initiaited by the user also means other
activity invoking ACTION_CALL.
So my question is: does anyone know how I could programmatically exit
the call log activity as ways to be able to submit another ACTION_CALL
intent ?
Thanks for any pointers or suggestions here.

I don't want an animation at all if possible. What I would like is
something akin to a transformation, except to be used on a TextView or

I have considering overriding methods to accomplish this task by
slightly modifying the animation code, but I'm not sure how extensive
the work for this would be. Additionally, I'm not sure where to find
the source for those methods.
If anyone could recommend a means of accomplishing this task, whether
it be by an override or perhaps something simple that I am missing, I
would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Two SurfaceViews in a FrameLayout
Sorry, you can't do this -- because surface views are very special and not really views (the surface is a separate window Z-ordered with your own), their Z-ordering does not match your views. A surface view is a big, heavy object; you are not intended to treat SurfaceView like a regular view in this way. As far as transparency, the surface is transparent if you make its pixel format transparent. It's your surface, you can do with it what you want. The default is to be the same pixel format as the screen, since that is the most efficient and it is very rare for someone to want a transparent surface view. The way you really are intended to do this is to own the surface, and draw all your compositing in there. So you would just have one surface view that you are updating in the places where either the background or overlay is changing. To be honest, I think you are going to get better performance if you do it this way anyway, especially if you use OpenGL. For simple overlays, one thing that is reasonable to do is to stick the SurfaceView in a frame layout, Z-ordering it below other -regular- views that contain the overlay. There is an example in ApiDemos of this. On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 7:34 AM, Chris chrismc...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi, I have two SurfaceViews in one FrameLayout. So they are stacked upon another. What I want to achieve is to use the lower SurfaceView as kind of background that is changing heavily, and the upper SurfaceView as annotation overlay. So the upper SurfaceView has a (small) number of quickly changing elements that I will draw. Somehow, I can always only see one of the SurfaceViews, depending on which one is top. I thought that SurfaceViews are always transparent, but it seems I am missing something here. Any thoughts on why I can't overlay two SurfaceViews?

[android-developers] Re: Add Share on chooser Send Menu
One person from my work found this answer and I think it should be public. To be able to use my application that sends files to other Social Networks I just need to register my intent application using the following intent-filter on Manifest.xml ... intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.SEND / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / data android:mimeType=image/* / /intent-filter ... Installing this application, any other app that calls Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent , Send options)); and have an image as attachment will be able to choose my app. On 24 jul, 16:45, Cibele cibel...@gmail.com wrote: I´d like to know if any 3rd part app can be added to the menu that is called on Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent , Send options)); For example an application that shares toFlickror Facebook. or if this is something that should be added in the operational system source code. On android 1.5 the Picasa was added the list that on previous versions only contained E-mail and Messaging.

[android-developers] Re: QVGA screen resolution applications
QVGA is not supported in 1.5, so I wouldn't take any experience you have running the emulator like that to be a strong evidence of things working how they would on an actual QVGA device that might appear some time in the future running something later than 1.5. So you could maybe use it to see if your layouts are behaving reasonably for different screens, but even for that I would lean towards using an HVGA density screen that is slightly shorter (like QVGA is slightly shorter than HVGA) than actually running in QVGA which throws density scaling into the mix.

[android-developers] Re: DD command
Yeah if you need root permissions is an interesting question. But if you don't have root permmissions you can't copy things to sd-card, right? So where do you copy the file(s) then?

[android-developers] How to use jdb? Deferring breakpoint ... It will be set after the class is loaded.
I prefer to not use Eclipse, but I do like its ability to set breakpoints, query values, and step through programs. I believe that this is possible using a combination of ddms and jdb, but I have not been able to set a breakpoint. Here's what I do: 1. I start the emulator: emulator -avd my.avd 2. I install my app: adb -e install -r bin/HelloWorldActivity-debug.apk 3. In the emulator, I go to Dev Tools/Development Settings and set Wait for Debugger. I choose the app in that must wait. 4. I start up ddms: ddms 5. I start the app on the emulator. It obediently says it's waiting for the debugger to attach. 6. ddms shows the app with port 8700 active. So I start up jdb using port 8700. 7. The app immediately starts before I can set any breakpoints. Eg. if I try to set a breakpoint in the main Activity, jdb says: Deferring breakpoint HelloWorldActivity.java:285. It will be set after the class is loaded. I've tried putting my breakpoint commands in .jdbrc, but those are too late there too; I get the same message. I suspect that Eclipse must use the same set of tools, but in the right sequence, so it must be possible. But what is that right sequence? Thanks !
