[android-developers] Re: updatePeriodMillis not working for widget on 1.6
Here is a related question. Are there other reasons to say the Alarm service is unreliable? My app uses repeating alarms. It was great with 1.5, very reliable. Since the upgrade to 1.6, the phone seems to be dropping some of my repeating broadcasts. I do not have any task killer programs, or at least I did not knowingly install any. Notice that I use unique requestCodes in the creation of my PendingIntent (children.getInt(0) in the code snippet below) to insure that the correct number of distinct alarms is created and to cancel any of those alarms at a later point in time, should that become necessary. Has the use of the requestCode parameter changed with the 1.6 SDK? almMgr.setRepeating (AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(), SchedulerActivity.WEEKINMILLIS, PendingIntent.getBroadcast(ctxt, children.getInt(0), new Intent(ctxt, SoundOffTimer.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT)); children.moveToNext(); The dropped broadcast behavior is intermittent. When the timer is a one shot, it seems to work correctly. I am wondering if others on the list have seen issues with the setRepeating method. I am also looking for suggestions for troubleshooting this problem. How can I determine if the problem is the broadcast, if it is the repeating alarm creation, or if there is some other issue like low memory coming in to play. Any ideas?

[android-developers] Re: Context Menu
if you want your context menu to popup on single item selection then how would you scroll very long list? Having thought about it, I Don't agree with this... It's perfectly usual for android to behave in this way. Think about when you are scrolling through the apps how easy it is to open one of them by mistake. You just have to get used to the touch sensitivity of the screen and get better at scrolling, or selecting. So, back to my original problem. If you can't adjust the sensitivity required (I don't believe you can't!) to activate a ContextMenu, what other options are there to pop up a menu? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Possible to calculate yaw,pitch,roll from x,y,z magnetic field values alone?
Thanks Scott. Yes, you are right. the Android API is calculating the orientation by using the mag and gravity(acceleration), and this is why the orientation is affected (strongly affected) by the acceleration. So just wondering if you have any idea to get the pure acceleration data without gravity involved?meaning at any time the phone only shows the net moving acceleration of the phone without G added on. Thank you! On Oct 19, 5:46 am, Scott snietf...@gmail.com wrote: I'm afraid it's not mathematically possible to generate a full attitude solution from a single vector observation (mag vector, gravity vector, etc..). There simply isn't enough information there. It doesn't matter if you're not pointed along the mag field, you will still only get a partial attitude solution in the shape of a cone centered around the mag field. This has been an issue in the aerospace industry for a while now, and usually the problem is solved by combining information from two or more sensors. In this case, the Android API is probably using the mag field and what it assumes is a gravity vector from the accelerometer (that's why the solution is affected by external accelerations). If you're interested in how to generate an attitude solution from two vector observations, you should look up the TRIAD algorithm for attitude determination.

[android-developers] Re: 1.6: GPS location provider stop unexpectedly (exceeded MIN_FIX_COUNT), bouncing back and forth
multiple listeners for a location provider with different minTime intervals - which value should be used Looks like the current implementation uses the shortest value for that situation: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=services/java/com/android/server/LocationManagerService.java;h=3f268c933f14fabc0950657b43d7e4df1e463cf8;hb=63abad7ed389aea8eef75786d3628cfb288988dd#l806 Seems like an OK decision there from some quick tests. I called requestLocationUpdates for two listeners. One with a power conserving hint argument of 30 seconds. The other with 60 seconds. Both listeners got the same update frequency. In number of seconds between onLocationChanged calls: 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 39, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 37, ... Corresponding to occasional ~30 second shutdowns. Once I called removeUpdates for the listener that was registered for 30 seconds, then the listener registered for 60 seconds started getting what it would normally get: 2, 1, 69, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 70, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, ... ~60 second shutdowns. End result, the listener that was registered saying it is OK with ~60 second shutdowns never actually has to wait that long if there is another listener registered that wants more frequent updates. Meanwhile the one that wants the most frequent updates gets what it normally would.

If an app registers multiple listeners for a location provider with different minTime intervals - which value should be used to control the location provider? It certainly isn't in line with 1.5 behavior, or with anything I've seen on any device. I suppose I can't be sold on this being a feature, not a bug.

android.provider.Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver
(),Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION, 0);
}
Here i want to forbids switching orientation when rotating phone.
Also i hope the screen orientation will not be changed.
But when here is horizontal screen mode, the screen orientation will
be changed to vertical mode automatically .
That's not what i want.
Any suggestions?

}
}
If I change the file extension to “txt”, everything is all right. I
debugged into the android source then the code running into the native
C code so not any clue was found.
I searched in the group. Only some discuss leads to the cycle about
mime-type and file extensions which cannot help me.
I guess it is a build-in security mechanism about the undefined file
extension types. Can anybody help? Thanks.

I tested this on an Android 1.6 emulator and a T-Mobile G1 running Android 1.6. The only difference is that I store my file in app-private local storage (openFileInput(), openFileOutput()) rather than on the SD card. Since .lrc files have meaning to media players, perhaps there is something in your device or emulator that is watching for .lrc files in the SD card and has some sort of write lock on it. You might consider putting your file not in the root of the SD card, but in a dot-prefixed directory (e.g., /sdcard/.something/your.lrc). That is standard trick on Linux to lightly hide things.

[android-developers] Re: Slow time zone name loading
I am only using the twitter4j api and I never use SimpleDateFormat
myself.
And I have this problem also when I use another api for twitter
(jtwitter).
This is my code (a part of):
client=new Twitter(user, password);
Query query = new Query(surrogates);
QueryResult result;
try {
result = client.search(query);
for (Tweet tweet : result.getTweets()) {
model.add(new
TimelineEntry(tweet.getFromUser(),
tweet.getCreatedAt().toString(), tweet.getText(),
tweet.getProfileImageUrl()));
}
} catch (TwitterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
What is the problem for 1.5 and why does this works for 1.6?
Are do you have another API for twitter I can use or some examples? I
have used your thumbnailadapter (as example for Twitter).

[android-developers] Service stops?
I have a service that is waiting for input from an Activity. I noticed that if the service has a task scheduled via a handler, an Activity can bind and unbind repeatedly to make the service do stuff. However, if the service doesn't have a task scheduled and really doesn't do anything while waiting, it kind of disappears. An activity binds to the service and makes it work, but after unbind it can't bind again. This is not an issue for me because I do need a task scheduled, if only a task that stops the service after n minutes of inactivity. I was just wondering if this is intended behavior of a service. dagdag Christine --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: 1.6: GPS location provider stop unexpectedly (exceeded MIN_FIX_COUNT), bouncing back and forth
Hmm, ok thanks - which value should be used was intended as a rhetoric question, pointing out that in it's current form, this feature is not usable. It has the potential to cause non-deterministic behavior when the different values of minTime are set as result to (asynchronous) events. By mapping multiple objects (listeners) with different attribute values to a single one (location provider), you never know what you will get. The real kicker (as far as I can see, I haven't tried this out): Now you can build an app that interferes with other apps running at the same time. Say, your app has a service running in the background that calls .requestLocationUpdates() with a minTime value that's different from an app running in the foreground. In the extreme, you can choke off the foreground app's location provider, no?

Seems like an OK decision there from some quick tests. I called requestLocationUpdates for two listeners. One with a power conserving hint argument of 30 seconds. The other with 60 seconds. Both listeners got the same update frequency. In number of seconds between onLocationChanged calls: 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 39, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 37, ...

Once I called removeUpdates for the listener that was registered for 30 seconds, then the listener registered for 60 seconds started getting what it would normally get: 2, 1, 69, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 70, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, ... ~60 second shutdowns.

that's correct. The server rejects the session cookie and I have to
login, but the same session cookie works fine when used with other

[android-developers] Rotating in content gets clipped
Hi-- I'm trying to draw some large circles on the canvas which are partly offscreen, then use animation to rotate them in be fully visible. My circles successfully rotate in, but when they come into view they're clipped at the place that was the screen edge when they were originally drawn. Is there any way to prevent this? I guess my larger question is how can you draw elements beyond the edges of the screen and then animate them into view?

[android-developers] Trying to turn off candidates view in EditText with on-screen keyboard
Hi, My application uses an EditText box to input information that is not English words. When I do this i get the candidates view (which I normally love :) with suggestions for known words. I do not want to pollute my word list by saving what I typed so I want to turn off candidates view for this text box. I have searched the documentation and WEB but could not find the answer. I have tried two methods: 1. Set the XML property input type to various values. With this I can't find one that lets me input 'raw' text without a candidates view. 2. Use InputMethodService static InputMethodService mInputService; mInputService=new InputMethodService(); mInputService.setCandidatesViewShown(false); Whenever i try the last line my app 'has stopped unexpectedly' I would prefer to understand the second method, but would be happy for the first one to work, for now. :) Any and all help is greatly appreciated. -- Morten --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hello All, I know this is not the right place to ask this question, but I don't know where to go neither. The site developer.android.com could not be accessed inside main land China. No doubt it's blocked by the great fire wall, but I can not figure out why they(The Chinese gov) did this. Isn't it just a tech site without any political/religious contents? As an Android developer, it's very annoying not be able to get those helpful docs on that site. Could anyone here or inside Google report this problem to Google China and ask the Chinese gov to remove the block? I myself don't know or can't find anyone to contact. Sorry to bother you if I did.

Can the Android OS boot directly into that application so that only a certain application launches after boot. At the SDK level, only if you somehow set up this application to be a replacement home screen, and then the user still will have the ability to bring up the system home screen if desired.

[android-developers] Video recording results in corrupted files
I finally got it to record videos. The preview surfcae works fine and
the audio stream of the audio resulting file is also okay. But the
video stream is a complete messup because you cannot figure out what
it is. The main part of the screen is filled with green colours.
Any idea what could be the reason? I tried all codec/container,
resolution and framerate variations, without success.
here is the code:
public class CamcorderPreview extends SurfaceView implements
SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private MediaRecorder recorder;
private SurfaceHolder holder;
public CamcorderPreview(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
holder = getHolder();
holder.addCallback(this);
holder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
recorder = new MediaRecorder();
//recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
//recorder.setAudioEncoder
(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setVideoEncoder
(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);
recorder.setVideoSize(480, 320);
recorder.setVideoFrameRate(15);
//recorder.setMaxDuration(5000);
recorder.setOutputFile(/sdcard/dcim/100ANDRO/test.mp4);
}
@Override
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int
width, int height){
}

public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
recorder.setPreviewDisplay(holder.getSurface());
try {
recorder.prepare();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
}
public void startRecording(){
if(recorder != null){
recorder.start();
}
}

[android-developers] Overlay vs ItemizedOverlay, your thoughts?
Hi, I want to draw 20 pins on a MapActivity. Each pin has a small pin image, but I have to dynamically overlay a small bit of text over each pin at runtime. Looks like I have two options: #1) Itemized Overlay This is the suggested method. I put all my pins in one ItemizedOverlay object, and that counts as a single Overlay object for my MapView. #2) One Overlay per pin Create a separate Overlay instance for each pin I need to render. The problem I see with using method #1 is that you need to set a drawable for the item. This would mean that I need to create 20+20 (one for focused/non-focused state each) bitmaps and keep them in memory for the duration of my app. On the other hand, Overlay lets you override the draw method so I can do the simple compositing at runtime. The other issue with Itemized Overlay - although it handles focus for you - does it move the focused item to the front of the z-order when selected?

On Sat, Oct 24, 2009 at 9:47 AM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: new Handler().postDelayed(someTask, someTime); I have not used Handler inside a Service, and so I have no idea whether or not that's a good idea. Handler and the related message loop APIs are much much lower-level than Service, Activity, etc, so it doesn't matter where you do this stuff from, it is completely unaware of that. The only thing that the above code does is create a new Handler (associated with the main thread/looper of the process since presumably this is being done in one of the Service callbacks like onCreate()), and placing someTask on the message list of that main thread/looper with the created Handler as the destination for it. Now one thing that may be happening here is that someTask is some inner class of the service, which would mean that as a side-effect you are creating a reference on the service (because the message is on the thread's message queue, so it has a reference on it until it is dispatched, and it has a reference on someTask, and someTask being an inner class of the service has a reference on the service). This would prevent the Service from being garbage collected, even though it is technically no longer used (its onDestroy() has been called) nor valid. From what I have heard so far, my suspicion is that whatever the original code is, it is really not using these things correctly at all. -- 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] synchronized SurfaceHolder hanging on my market app
Would appreciate some help here, my app (Apple2 Emulator) runs great
on the emulator, but when I put it up on my G1 it becomes extremely
flakey. Force quit / hang like crazy. I uploaded to the market and
everyone is force quitting the app. Not good! The code is based on
the old lunar lander example. The problem I’m seeing is that the app
hangs up on the “synchronized (mSurfaceHolder) {“ block (see code
snippets below.)
Question is: Why would it hang up on the “synchronized
(mSurfaceHolder) {“check and what can I do to troubleshoot / debug? I
can’t pinpoint exactly what started it, but I will tell you I added
some native JNI calls and it seems to have started after that? It
generally hangs in the beginning when I give control to the “view”
thread.
MANY THANKS
Bart
Code:
public class view extends SurfaceView implements
SurfaceHolder.Callback {
…
public thread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, Context context, Handler
handler) {
mSurfaceHolder = surfaceHolder;
…
private void doDraw(Canvas c) {
synchronized (mSurfaceHolder) { HANGING HERE

If the answer is I want it to fire even if the Activity is gone, AlarmManager may be a better choice. Actually, the activity hands some data to the service to process, triggered by a user action.

[android-developers] Re: Service stops?
For that kind of thing there should be no need to use bindService at all -- just call startService() for each of the things to download, and have the service use stopSelf(id) so that it is stopped once the last one is done. And there is no reason to delay stopping the service -- starting a service is quite cheap.

[android-developers] Re: 1.6: GPS location provider stop unexpectedly (exceeded MIN_FIX_COUNT), bouncing back and forth
non-deterministic behavior when the different values of minTime are set as result to (asynchronous) events The requestLocationUpdates methods use a synchronized block to avoid that potential problem: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=services/java/com/android/server/LocationManagerService.java;h=3f268c933f14fabc0950657b43d7e4df1e463cf8;hb=63abad7ed389aea8eef75786d3628cfb288988dd#l933 Synchronized blocks aren't guaranteed to be fair, however. I suppose a malicious app could try to register repeatedly in an attempt to starve other threads trying to get into the synchronized block. On Oct 24, 12:11 pm, JP joachim.pfeif...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm, ok thanks - which value should be used was intended as a rhetoric question, pointing out that in it's current form, this feature is not usable. It has the potential to cause non-deterministic behavior when the different values of minTime are set as result to (asynchronous) events. By mapping multiple objects (listeners) with different attribute values to a single one (location provider), you never know what you will get. The real kicker (as far as I can see, I haven't tried this out): Now you can build an app that interferes with other apps running at the same time. Say, your app has a service running in the background that calls .requestLocationUpdates() with a minTime value that's different from an app running in the foreground. In the extreme, you can choke off the foreground app's location provider, no? On Oct 24, 2:00 am, Lance Nanek lna...@gmail.com wrote: multiple listeners for a location provider with different minTime intervals - which value should be used Looks like the current implementation uses the shortest value for that situation:http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;... Seems like an OK decision there from some quick tests. I called requestLocationUpdates for two listeners. One with a power conserving hint argument of 30 seconds. The other with 60 seconds. Both listeners got the same update frequency. In number of seconds between onLocationChanged calls: 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 39, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 37, ... Corresponding to occasional ~30 second shutdowns. Once I called removeUpdates for the listener that was registered for 30 seconds, then the listener registered for 60 seconds started getting what it would normally get: 2, 1, 69, 1, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 70, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, ... ~60 second shutdowns. End result, the listener that was registered saying it is OK with ~60 second shutdowns never actually has to wait that long if there is another listener registered that wants more frequent updates. Meanwhile the one that wants the most frequent updates gets what it normally would. On Oct 23, 10:30 am, JP joachim.pfeif...@gmail.com wrote: (Refers to the logs) This occurs every 3s, although minTime is much higher, just as you've found. I will venture to say that this is harder on the battery than to just let GPS stand. BTW, resting a location provider this way is also mis-spec'ed. If an app registers multiple listeners for a location provider with different minTime intervals - which value should be used to control the location provider? It certainly isn't in line with 1.5 behavior, or with anything I've seen on any device. I suppose I can't be sold on this being a feature, not a bug.

[android-developers] Re: help! Odd behavior with a search activity
Here is some more research on this: quick summary once again: I have two activities 1. main 2. search activity Nature of search activity 1. invoke a browser 2. finish after that 3. As a result browser will be showing when this search activity is invoked When does it work If I have never invoked the MAIN activity of this application then the back button on the invoked browser activity will take me back to where I came from. (home) when does it NOT work ** If I invoked the MAIN activity at any time prior to the global search, then the back button on the browser will take me quite disconcertingly I should say to the MAIN activity irrespective of how far back in the history it is. The behavior seem un changed even if I set the android:allowTaskReparenting=false What alternative I have In my case the MAIN activity happens to be spurious and unnecessary and I had it just for debugging. I had to remove this activity from the application to make this work reliably Hope these notes would be of some help if you were to stray this way. well anyways if you have some ideas I would love to hear them Thanks Satya On Sat, Oct 24, 2009 at 9:10 AM, Satya Komatineni satya.komatin...@gmail.com wrote: I have a package with two activities 1.

[android-developers] Re: Android Market Question
Thomas wrote: I compiled my apk and uploaded it to android market I think? There was not any indication of success or failure. How can anyone check if the app has uploaded or not? Your app should show up in the Android Market on your phone minutes after uploading. When I published an app earlier this year, it showed up almost instantly. Also, in your desktop's Web browser, on your Android Market Developer Console page (http://market.android.com/publish/Home), in the section labeled All Android Market listings, you should see your app listed as published. How else can an app be uploaded so that some one might be able to find it. You can distribute via AndAppStore, or SlideME, or Handango, or any number of other independent markets, or upload it to your own Web site, or upload it to any other Web site. In the latter two cases, make sure the .apk file gets served as the appropriate MIME type (application/vnd.android.package-archive), so the Android Web browser can be used to install the app after downloading. You can also distribute your APK by email, micro SD card, or other means, for the user to put on their SD card, then install via any one of a number of file managers available on the Market. You can also create a QR code to display on your Web site that users with Barcode Scanner or similar software can scan to kick off a download and install, either via a Market URL (I think) or via a download off of a Web site. Why is this so hard? Over 10,000 apps are in the Market, by some published accounts. That would suggest that the process is not particularly hard. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 1.6 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
