[android-developers] Re: Anybody know the number of Android user that can buy app against those who cant?
Hard to tell the number of users but the list of countries is here: http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/answer.py?hl=enanswer=138294 On Dec 15, 7:52 am, RobGThai thisisr...@gmail.com wrote: While Android seems to be raging recently, however not all users are able to buy application through Market (Thanks Google and their limited policy). I just don't know why should I developing an app for a platform that doesn't really convinced me that it will make me some profit. At the very least, Google should be able to provide the number of users logging in to the Market and download paid applications. I have an unrooted phone sitting here and like 65% of the apps (if not more) consists of some show-random-photos and sound-clips, I don't even know if I should call them applications any more. So unless the apps get some recommendation from somebody, it is more than likely that it will not get hit unless user know what they are looking for. The problem comes from the ability for developer to sell and buyer to buy. It doesn't matter how many phone will be bought in the following year or how many model will come out. If the user can't buy it, those number are meaningless to developers. The whole concern was actually from people asking why am I doing it when I dont get paid. It's actually a very good question. Not to mention couple of iPhone developers that suggest AppStore. It's all based on some article on the net and people around me though.

Re: [android-developers] Android = 1.6: Invalid View object passed to onListItemClick()?
HiHo!
On Mon, 2009-12-14 at 11:06 -0800, Romain Guy wrote:
v.setBackgroundResource(R.color.todo_item_highlighted);
Here's your problem. Views are reused by ListView (so if you change
the background of item #1, it might be reused as item #4 later),
You mean the reuse of convertView in the following code of
core/java/android/widget/ArrayAdapter.java?
private View createViewFromResource(int position,
View convertView,
ViewGroup parent,
int resource) {
View view;
TextView text;
if (convertView == null) {
view = mInflater.inflate(resource, parent, false);
} else {
view = convertView;
}
Why is this not documented in the documentation of onListItemClick()
giving a warning that v may not be as what the developer expects?
this
type of change must be done from the Adapter's getView() method.
You mean something like the following?
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,
R.layout.todo_list_row,
new String[] {
Phobos,
Demos,
Venus,
Pluto,
Mercury
}) {
@Override
public View getView(int position,
View convertView,
ViewGroup parent) {
TextView t = (TextView) getLayoutInflater().inflate(
R.layout.todo_list_row,
parent,
false
);
t.setText(getItem(position).toString());
if (position == selectedPos) {
t.setBackgroundResource(
R.color.todo_item_highlighted);
}
return t;
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l,
View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
selectedPos = position;
}

Why is this not documented in the documentation of onListItemClick() giving a warning that v may not be as what the developer expects? Because v is always what you expect.

[android-developers] Re: Accessing contact's phone numbers
I'm still facing a problem by simply accessing the phone's contacts!
The following works on all API levels (1 to 6) apart 5 (which is
Android 2.0):
getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null,
People.DISPLAY_NAME);
Any suggestion to let it work on API level 5?

Take a look at this sample app that makes use of both old and new APIs:

In the redesign of the Contacts API we had several goals: add support
for multiple types of accounts, add support for multiple accounts, add
support for account-specific data types, etc. These goals were
incompatible with the overall structure of the old APIs, so we had to
redisign them from scratch. This was a major step, sort-of like going
from English measurement units to metric system or going from a manual
transmission car to automatic. This type of change is supposed to be
a rare event, painful for everyone, but ultimately the platform to a
whole new level.

Sorry for being away...
I managed to get it to work, however I complain with the approach used
in developing the API! Apparently, searching for a contact based on
the phone number has changed in Android 2.0 and the old good way of
doing that isn't working anymore (Why). I agree that now it is
much more intuitive, however it is a mess for the compatibility
(unless I was doing it wrong in API level 3 and 4, any lines of code
to share?).
Here the code for API level = 5:
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(number));
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(lookupUri, null, null,
null, null);
if (c.getCount() 0) {
c.moveToFirst();
return c.getString(c.getColumnIndex( PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME ));
} else {
// Not found, do something else...
}
In any case, to be compatible with API level = 4 PhoneLookup cannot
be referenced in the code (as well as other things) and must be loaded
through reflection. Am I wrong? Other solution?
Looking forward to hear something from a more experienced Android
developer...

Andrea ;-)

[android-developers] Re: Contacts FAQ?
Hi everyone, I encountered an issue while configuring my own account for android contacts sync. When the user choses to add a new contact to the custom account, only the name fields and the photo are showed. This behaviour can be found in the ExternalSource.java android source file. My question is, if I don't want to add custom contacts fields for my account, how can I configure the account to show all the standard fields in the contacts application in the same way the google account does?

[android-developers] Forward search queries to one single activity that handles search
have an activity handling search (ACTIVITY_1), which works perfectly
when I use the search (via SEARCH button on the phone) within/from
this activity.
However, when I use search from another activity (ACTIVITY_2..x) by
implementing onNewIntent and forward the query string to my
Search_Activity.class (ACTIVITY_1) it always pauses ACTIVITY_2 first
and then goes to onCreate() of ACTIVITY_2.
@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, onNewIntent());
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
Log.i(TAG, = Intent: ACTION_SEARCH =);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(),
Search_Activity.class);
myIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH);
myIntent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, intent.getStringExtra
(SearchManager.QUERY));
startActivity(myIntent);
}
}
* Why does it recreate my ACTIVITY_2 when it is already there and
doesn't go to onNewIntent directly?
* Is there another way I can forward search queries directly to
ACTIVITY_1? For example via a setting in the Manifest.xml
* Is it possible to generally forward all search queries
automatically to ACTIVITY_1 without even implementing onNewIntent in
all the other activities?
Currently I have to put an intent-filter in every single activity to
activate my custom search there and forward the query then to the
activity that handles search via the onNewIntent (as shown above).

[android-developers] Re: Forward search queries to one single activity that handles search
Your assumption is partly right.
I want all activities to accept search queries (via the search button
on the phone), although I want only one single activity to handle the
search (via a web server) and display the results.
The problem is now, to make all activities accept search queries.
Therefor I have to add the intent filter to all activities,
otherwise pressing the search button will only show up the default
Google Search, but not my custom search.
But having the intent filter in each activity causes to create a new
instance (at least onCreate() is called) of that activity, whenever I
enter a String and start the search. And that is what I'd like to
avoid.
My goal is to have all activities accept search input (meaning
pressing the search button opens up the search box), but then as soon
as the search gets started it should be handled by the one single
search activity.
I hope that helps to better understand my problem.

LinearLayout
xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent

android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:choiceMode=singleChoice
android:focusable=true
android:clickable=true
android:longClickable=true
/ListView
/LinearLayout
Declare another layout file for the specific rows.in my cae I have a checkbx
and two textvies but it should be obvious how to change it just add or
remove fields.
TableLayout
xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;

TableRow
android:layout_width=fill_parent

/TableRow

Then if you are trying to get the information out of a custom class say in
my case the shopping list class you need to create a custom Array Adapter
that will utilize this layout
at the bottom you see where I assign the different fields like the 2
textviews and the checkbox to a particular field in the class.

import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class ShoppingListAdapter extends ArrayAdapterShoppingListItems {
int resource;
public ShoppingListAdapter(Context context, int resource,
ListShoppingListItems items)
{
super(context, resource,items);
this.resource=resource;
}
�...@override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
LinearLayout shoppingListItemView;
ShoppingListItems sli =getItem(position);
String prodName =sli.getItemDescription();
double price = sli.getPrice();
boolean purchases = sli.isPurchased();
if(convertView==null)
{
shoppingListItemView = new LinearLayout(getContext());
String inflater = Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE;
LayoutInflater vi;
vi = (LayoutInflater)getContext().getSystemService(inflater);
vi.inflate(resource, shoppingListItemView, true);}
else
{
shoppingListItemView = (LinearLayout) convertView;}
CheckBox chkPurchased =
(CheckBox)shoppingListItemView.findViewById(R.id.rowItemBought);
TextView itemName
=(TextView)shoppingListItemView.findViewById(R.id.rowItemName);
TextView itemPrice
=(TextView)shoppingListItemView.findViewById(R.id.rowItemPrice);
chkPurchased.setChecked(purchases);
itemName.setText(prodName);
itemPrice.setText(Double.toString(price));
return shoppingListItemView;
}
}
Ofter that is created go to the activity where you will like your ListView
Declare your Variables
ArrayListShoppingListItems items;
ShoppingListAdapter adapter;
ListView lv;
Then on create set up your list view and your adapters
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
lv=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.lvItems);
items= new ArrayListShoppingListItems();
do a loop of some sort to fill in your adapter. Like in my case I read form
a Database
Cursor itemsCur=productsDb.getAllShoppingListItemsCursor(shoppingListPK);
do{
ShoppingListItems sli = new ShoppingListItems();
sli.setItemDescription(itemsCur.getString(2));
sli.setPrice(itemsCur.getDouble(4));
sli.setPurchased((itemsCur.getInt(7))==0?false:true);
sli.setQuantity(itemsCur.getDouble(5));
sli.setShoppingListItemPK(itemsCur.getInt(0));
sli.setShoppingListPK(itemsCur.getInt(1));
sli.setStorePK(itemsCur.getInt(6));
sli.setUpc(itemsCur.getString(3));
items.add(sli);

[android-developers] Re: AudioTrack - Clicking Sound
Hi, I use AudioTrack for several projects and haven't had a problem. However, as I was learning to use it, I had lots of small issues related to: 1. Not filling the buffer correctly as you think - double check your code. Even if you are missing one PCM sample you will get a click. 2. If using a streaming buffer AudioTrack, you have to keep the buffer full. If you have any gaps you will get clicks. I'd say the problem is in your code somewhere. You probably have some off by one error or negative/positive error or missing a couple of samples, or such. Also never hurts to load your PCM data into Audacity to double check how it sounds. -niko On Dec 15, 7:37 am, Business Talk roman.businesst...@gmail.com wrote: I am getting this clicking sound when playing static pcm data.

First, thanks Robert... that's going to help a lot. I've not had to use threading before and it looks to be a must on Android for games so I'm making sure I understand the concepts as clearly as possible. I'm quite thankful that Java's tutorials are as good as they are. I was almost thinking of trying to make the game logic wait and just trigger it when the renderer fires. My thought being... things like collision only need to be checked (I'd be checking one frame ahead of course) on a new render. Would that be a terrible idea? Secondly... hooray that posts (not sure if it's per individual or not) aren't having to wait days to appear...

Simple! I keep a simple boolean isLocked on the World and synchronize the calls to getLock() and release(). You will want to set a max rate for your logic thread to run and have it figure out how many MS to sleep for. I didn't do that the first time and mine would run at 200-300fps while rendering at 30-60. That was a big waste of CPU cycles :) None of my code does that anymore.

[android-developers] Re: JDBC Driver for SQLiteDatabase
Hi again everybody. I really wanna get to the bottom of this. I posted a ticket http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5437 and, perhaps as expected, the reply sounded: this code is undocumented because it's unsupported. please do not use undocumented API. The ticket has been closed but I am still not satisfied. I understand that the driver doesn't have to be documented if you're not supposed to be using it since it's going low-level. But the driver does not seem to register itself, without Class.forName(SQLite.JDBCDriver), I get no suitable driver found. So that means we're not supposed to be using the sqlite back-end through JDBC at all? I'm not happy! Why is the JDBC built-in if no one is allowed to use it? jotobjects: I have had several projects where you have to invoke the driver (using Class.forName) to have it register itself. This seems to be the common convention. You don't see the driver in DriverManager.getConnection() - but the driver will link to a certain url. On Dec 14, 11:34 pm, jotobjects jotobje...@gmail.com wrote: JDBCdrivers are never used directly byJDBCapplications. In aJDBC application you reference the URI name of the driver in DriverManager.getConnection(). That is the only time you ever see the driver and you never actually call a method on the driver itself in aJDBCapplication. This has nothing to do with Android. It is just part ofJDBC.

In onCreate() of your SQLiteOpenHelper, you can call execSQL() as many
times as you like, to execute as many SQL statements as you like. You
can have as many tables, indices, triggers, and whatnot as SQLite
allows, certainly greater than one of each.
So, call execSQL() once to create one table and once to create another
table. Or, courtesy of that semicolon, you may be able to put both
CREATE TABLE statements in a single string -- I haven't tried that.

[android-developers] Why first call to Cursor.getCount() is so slow?
Hi, I've noticed quite a strange thing with Cursor object. If I use my own database (with SQLiteDatabase and SQLiteOpenHelper) and run some query on it (using any of SQLiteDatabase query() methods) this query is finished very quickly, in a few milliseconds. But then first call to some of Cursor methods (like getCount(), moveToFirst(), etc) takes 1000+ milliseconds! On the other hand if I query some ContentProvider (using getContext ().getContentResolver().query()) then this query takes about 100 milliseconds to finish, which is understood. But then first call (and subsequent calls) to any of Cursor methods described above is very fast. My question is: Why first call to say Cursor getContent() is so long in case I use my database in contrast to using ContentProvider's?

[android-developers] Re: Forward search queries to one single activity that handles search
Take a look at the SearchManager stuff:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/SearchManager.html
From what I can see you only want one activity that responds to the
search, the others need to be able to initiate (I think) what would be
a 'local search'
When you start a search the system it always going to create an
instance of those classes which have the filter so they can process
they search intent.

Your assumption is partly right.
I want all activities to accept search queries (via the search button

search (via a web server) and display the results.
The problem is now, to make all activities accept search queries.
Therefor I have to add the intent filter to all activities,
otherwise pressing the search button will only show up the default
Google Search, but not my custom search.
But having the intent filter in each activity causes to create a new
instance (at least onCreate() is called) of that activity, whenever I
enter a String and start the search. And that is what I'd like to
avoid.
My goal is to have all activities accept search input (meaning
pressing the search button opens up the search box), but then as soon
as the search gets started it should be handled by the one single
search activity.
I hope that helps to better understand my problem.

In the discussion groups this *usually* comes up when someone wants to totally replace the in-call UI with a new design (which should still be fully functional, but just look different.) This unfortunately isn't possible in Android 1.x or 2.0 because 3rd party apps aren't (yet) allowed full access to the telephony APIs. But you're just talking about the ability to pop up some other activity on top of the in-call UI. Looking at your app's description, I assume it listens for incoming call events, and then eventually launches some other activity on top of the in-call screen. Sure, there's nothing preventing this; any 3rd party app (with appropriate permissions) can launch new activities whenever it wants. (You're right that a malicious app could do this and be extremely annoying, but the user can always hit HOME, and get back to the real InCallScreen by pressing the green button or selecting the in-call notification.) Also FWIW, this app (and the similar ones also in the market) do require at least a couple of permissions marked as dangerous, so at least the user will see a warning before installing it... Bottom line: no security hole here. It's possible for an app (with the right permissions) to be annoying, but even so it's still fairly easy for the user to recover.

[android-developers] layout does not take text style from styles.xml?
Hi, I've got a text style defined in styles.xml. I'm trying to reference it from a layout. When I reference from the layout, it causes an exception upon inflation. If I use the style from java code, it works fine. Setting the individual styles on the TextView works fine too: TextView android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=Test android:textStyle=@style/mystyle / style name=mystyle parent=@android:style/TextAppearance item name=android:textSize12dip/item item name=android:textColor#00/item /style so if I just directly set textSize and textColor on the TextView with the same values, it works fine. Looks like the exception comes down to: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1109): Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '@2131165194' as integer must be doing something wrong here? If I comment out the style set, the layout inflates fine. Also looks fine in the resource editor.

[android-developers] Issues debugging Droid with Eclipse
I've many times debugged my Java EE code running on Tomcat and JBoss quite effectivley with Eclipse, but I'm running into a brick wall debugging an Android app on the Droid. I think I have to debug on the device and not the AVM because the app interacts with MapView, GPS, etc. Maybe I need to use the AVM to effectively debug? What happens is I get NullPointerException or ArrayOutOfBoundsException in the main thread at something like ViewRoot.draw(boolean) line: 1373. Of course, by default, the source won't be found. So I downloaded the source with Git and pointed Eclipse at it. However, I think I don't have the right source, because the line is that the exception appears to have been thrown from is not completely relevant. How can I be sure I'm using the correct source code for debugging the Droid? After writing this, I've found that although Eclipse is not displaying the little green dot when I set a breakpoint in the Andorid code, it does show up in the breakpoint view and I can step through the code. Not sure if this helps me. Is it perhaps my ignorance of Dalvik and/or debugging threaded code? Anyway, I wish I could see the actual Java statement that caused the exception. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can effectivley debug my Android code? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Cannot receive UDP in mobile network
I am writing a UDP client/server application.
The android phone (client) can send and receive UDP packets if
connected to wi-fi. When using mobile network (2G), however, it can
send packets to the server, but cannot receive packets. The server
does receive and send back packets in all cases.
The client side code is as follows:
byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, buf.length);
while (true) {
packet.setData(buf);
socket.receive(packet);
...
}
Can anyone give advice? Thanks.

[android-developers] Why are onCreate() onStart() etc. called when handset orientation is changed?
Hi everyone,
I got my hands on Android which is really fun. But at some point I
don't seem to understand the concept. I've got a Main class which
reads like this:
public class Main extends Activity implements SensorEventListener
{ ... }
in the onCreate(...) I set the layout to
setContentView(R.layout.main);
and add an OnTouchEvent Listener to the sole View in main.xml:
myView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {...
As you can see I also implemented a SensorEventListener which is used
if required. All works fine so far.
But my problem is this (at this point my misunderstanding kicks in):
whenever I rotate the device the onCreate(), onStart() etc. methods
are called, causing my app to act as if it just started. Furthermore,
I feel unable to implement an onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw,
int oldh) { ... } Listener.
Can anyone please explain where my error in reasoning is? I am working
on a tiny app which is more or less done, except for the just
mentioned bug(s). Maybe I got it all wrong but it does what it is
supposed to do (i.e. sending touch positions and accelerometer data
over the network via UDP).
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Steff

[android-developers] Location of current desktop/wallpaper file?
I realize this isn't exactly a programming question. However I seem unable to discover this information elsewhere, so thanks if anyone can answer this. I'm on a Samsung Moment running Android 1.5.

[android-developers] Application disappears from recent apps list
I am writing an app that wants to be able to handle URLs. I also want to be able to launch it stand-alone with no arguments, so I've specified two intent filters: intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN / category android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER / /intent-filter intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / category android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE / data android:scheme=http / data android:scheme=https / /intent-filter I have also specified android:launchMode=singleTask. Now, if I explicitly launch my application from the application list, its name and icon can be found in the recent apps list that pops up when I hold the home key. If I then use the email application to open a URL in my application, my application disappears from the recent apps list. Why does this happen, and what can I do about it? I notice that the Browser application doesn't behave like this, and it has similar intent filters and the same launchMode. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Animation of View size
Hi all. I've noticed that animation framework is based on matrix transformations (with additions for alpha). Did I get it right that it's impossible to animate an arbitrary property (e.g size) of my view with android.animation.* tools? If so, can you please give me some hints how size animations can be implemented? My task is to resize some custom view smoothly (redrawing/laying out it on every 'frame').

[android-developers] Is there a way to print the activity stack ?
Acutally I was trying to automate some stuff on my android emulator.

[android-developers] MapView OnTouchListener is firing only once
on mapview onTouch function of OnClickListener is never called after
executing once. Is there any work around for this?
I am attaching Code snippets:
public class SearchResultsMapView extends MapActivity {
private MapView mapView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mapview);
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
mapController = mapView.getController();
mapView.setClickable(true);
mapView.setEnabled(true);
mapView.setSatellite(false);
mapView.setStreetView(false);
mapView.setTraffic(false);
mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
mapView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener (){
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent
event) {
Log.v(TAG, inside onTouch);
return false;
}
});
...
I cannot return true from onTouch method, as this will stop callbacl
method onTap(int index) of my class ResultItemizedOverlay which
extends ItemizedOverlayOverlayItem.
Any hint, how can I make this listener working every time when I click
anywhere on map?
I also want onTap(int index) to work for ItemizedOverlayOverlayItem.
Thanks,
Aamir

[android-developers] NPAPI support in Android 2.0 SDK WebView
Hi there, in older android SDK versions it was possible to load custom NPAPI plugins into the WebView through reading them from assets and writing them into the filesystem at the apps data directory, for example something along the lines: webview = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview); webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); webview.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true); webview.getSettings().setPluginsPath(/data/data/com.foo.app); webview.setWebViewClient(new NetworkAccess()); in order to have a WebView instance with NPAPI plugin support for plugins in that directory. In Android 2.0 SDK this mechanism does not seem to work anymore and the WebSettings.setPluginsPath() method seems to be deprecated: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setPluginsPath(java.lang.String). Can anyone confirm this is a final decision or just a bug? Are custom NPAPI plugins aren't going to be supported in the future anymore? Would be a shame if that'll be the case ;( Kind regards, Anselm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Adding, Editing, Deleting entries in Androids call log
Here is the code I have
import android.app.Activity;

import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;

CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME,
CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NUMBER_LABEL,
CallLog.Calls.DURATION
};
Uri myCalls = CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery(myCalls,
projection, // Which columns to return
null, // Which rows to return (all rows)
null, // Selection arguments (none)
// Put the results in ascending order by name
CallLog.Calls.DATE + ASC);
this.addToCallLog();
this.getColumnData(managedCursor);
}
private void getColumnData(Cursor cur){
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
String name;
String phoneNumber;
String duration;

This works in that the logcat shows that its adding the duration, however
problems include:

it is used after my app has run

[android-developers] Why are onCreate() onStart() etc. called when handset orientation is changed?
Hi everyone,
I got my hands on Android which is really fun. But at some point I
don't seem to understand the concept. I've got a Main class which
reads like this:
public class Main extends Activity implements SensorEventListener
{ ... }
in the onCreate(...) I set the layout to
setContentView(R.layout.main);
and add an OnTouchEvent Listener to the sole View in main.xml:
myView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {...
As you can see I also implemented a SensorEventListener which is used
if required. All works fine so far.
But my problem is this (at this point my misunderstanding kicks in):
whenever I rotate the device the onCreate(), onStart() etc. methods
are called, causing my app to act as if it just started. Furthermore,
I feel unable to implement an onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw,
int oldh) { ... } Listener.
Can anyone please explain where my error in reasoning is? I am working
on a tiny app which is more or less done, except for the just
mentioned bug(s). Maybe I got it all wrong but it does what it is
supposed to do (i.e. sending touch positions and accelerometer data
over the network via UDP).
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Steff

[android-developers] Re: Socket - Network connect drops after 15 minutes
You might try closing the socket and trying to connect it again, the same way it was opened before the disconnect. 15 minutes is a relatively long time... does the socket live in an activity? It should probably live in a service so its resources don't get reclaimed like an activity would. Activities are subject to certain rules that says if Android OS needs the resources, it can kill or reclaim the activity's resources when it needs to.
