Re: [android-developers] Re: Is there any way to call start Main Activity from a Java program
Thanks Murphy. I understand your ideas. But the lower level code is not actually by Java. It's written by a reflective language...base on Java for concurrent research purpose. It's quite big like a framework. To write a Android GUI with some information exchange between Activities is quite easy, but my problem is how I can plug that GUI into the existing framework, not to re-work everything. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Hope to get idea from any one. Le Tuan Anh 2009/12/26 Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com Le Tuan Anh wrote: Thanks Murphy. But that answer is too easy to say. Sometimes, we still need to spend much time and get helps from answer, and must find out the solution for any problem. I still wait the answer from any expert here. You cannot simply change AWT layer into Android widgets any more than you can convert your application to an AJAX Web application by change AWT layer into...ummm...HTML tables, or something. You cannot simply start an Activity (not from another Activity), but from a Thread..(for example) or a normal Java application any more than you can start a Web page (not from another Web page), but from a Thread..(for example) or a normal Java application in a Web application. There may be elements of your existing Java code that will be usable. That depends on how you wrote that code. However, you should be focusing on how to create a robust Android application that provides a quality user experience, leveraging what existing code assets you can, rather than attempting to hammer Android into a contorted shape in an attempt to have it work like an existing AWT application. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 In Print! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] 1024x1024 OpenGL Texture
Hi, I'm trying to create a 1024x1024 texture in OpenGL. I'm trying to do this with Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(1024, 1024, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_); GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, bmp, 0); But I can't actually create a 1024x1024 Bitmap - I get an out of memory exception. I want to generate the texture, then use texSubImage2D to copy on various smaller bitmaps, but it seems that I need to somehow define that the texture is 1024x1024 before I can do that. Is there a function that lets me define the size/argb settings without just copying in a blank bitmap? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Getting Data off the Net
I suggest using JSON instead of XML. One reason would be that tt is more lightweight than XML. Doing JSON in PHP is easy, basically try to get your query result as a two-dimensional array, and use json_encode to transform it to JSON. On the Android side, you can use org.json (which is part of the Android platform) to parse the JSON-response and use the data in your app. best regards, Yves 2009/12/24 Skid nski...@googlemail.com I have no experience in this sort of thing which is why I'm asking for advise, I need to pull data off a MySQL database on my server, the data doesn't need to be updated contently just ever minute at the very least. I want to do it by sending a http request to a php page and have that php page create xml page that the android app would read and then work with. The reason I would like to do it that way is just because I know php better then I know java and its something I've done before when working with AJAX. However I don't know how to go about doing this, or even if this would be a good way to do it in the first place, so I could use some advise on the matter.

[android-developers] Re: Cannot view saved image until reboot
After you have your new image file on the sdcard you need to use a
MediaScannerConnection to make it known to the Gallery. The method is
scanFile. It's best for your activity to implement the
MediaScannerConnectionClient interface, and the two callbacks to
coordinate the addition of your new image file.

Hey all,
I am saving an image taken by the camera to a unique folder on the

umount.
Here's the code:
public static void saveImageToCard (Bitmap bm, String title,
String description, Context context) {
//replace and append the title with the correct extension
title = title.replace( , _) + .jpg;
File Directory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory

fos.close();
} catch (IOException e) {

As I said, the file is saved fine, I can see it in the FS, and I can
view it after the card has been umounted/mounted or rebooted. Is it
an issue that I'm not correctly closing the file?? I don't think
that's it, but I'm not sure why I can't view the image. I believe I
tried saving the file using getContentResolver().insert() and didn't
have this issue, but I want to save the images to a specific folder
that I create.
Any ideas?

[android-developers] Re: Controlling the current MediaPlayer
Alex, Can you be more specific on what you truly want to do? Are you trying to write an activity that offers a higher level of control over the playing of media on the device? Or are you concerned about a MediaPlayer already running on the device when your activity starts? If the latter, then I think an already-running, well-behaved application that uses MediaPlayer should stop, or offer some sort of option, when its onPause() is called. That ought to stop the playing of media when your app is being launched. If the former, then I don't think it's possible (yet at least). You really don't want to be integrating with every possible media application the user could install. At the same time, I'm not sure that Android has enough capabilities to manage the interaction of apps on a mobile device. I can imagine situations where I'm okay with my music player to keep playing while I do something else (doing email, surfing the web), and other situations where I'm not okay with it (taking a phone call). It's a difficult problem to solve given all of the combinations of apps and what they might do with the playing of media. - dave On Dec 24, 7:16 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: Alex Corbi wrote: Thanks for the tipp moneytoo, i will check that out.

Re: [android-developers] 1024x1024 OpenGL Texture
Just load fewer other textures when making your atlas. A 1024x1024 image is going to eat up somewhere around 4mb of space, and on the G1 (and others) you're limited to 16mb. So it should be just fine, the issue probably is that you have all of your other resources loaded, and are already taking up the other 12mb. Instead, load your other resources one at a time, copy to the atlas, and release the resource. You should have enough space without much of a problem.. - Dan On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 6:35 AM, Richard rtaylor...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, I'm trying to create a 1024x1024 texture in OpenGL.

[android-developers] Texture compression
Hi there, I am looking to improve performance of my OpenGL engine (for games), and something that has come up a few times is texture compression, the problem is when it 'comes up' there only seems to be vague details - so I spent some time tonight trying to get to the bottom of it, and failed. So I hoped someone here might know more specifically: What is the best texture compression format to use for Android? It appears to me that this varies per device, with the main (only?) two being ATITC and PVRTC. I am able to dig up reasonable details on PVRTC (as it is used on iPhone), but as of yet I am yet to find out exactly how to create an ATITC texture and load it on Android (I've been lead towards 'The Compressonator' tool from ATI/AMD, but there is no 'ATITC' compression option). The method I have seen mentioned is some form of palletised textures, does anyone know if this is a feature supported on all Android implementations (guaranteed by the OpenGL:ES 1.0 spec) or once again, or just supported on certain devices? I have been trying to keep things simple by having one package for my entire game, and have tried to keep it under 10 MB (which is hard, as it is a rather large game), but if in order to get best performance/ lowest memory foot print, I need to store the textures in multiple formats, I think I am going to be out of luck, and instead will need to investigate having a downloader built in to the game, to download a texture pack suitable for the device (which to me doesn't feel like a nice setup). Am I going to end up needing separate texture files, audio files, native libs, higher/lower resolution files, to support a good chunk of platforms? So I guess in short I am hoping someone might be able to tell me what compression method(s) are best to support, whether multiple methods should be supported (ideally), and what sort of performance/memory win can be had from implementing them. Finally some source code/links to tools to do all this would be handy. Can anyone help? Has anyone actually managed to do any of this?

Hmm, the OpenGL ES 1.0 spec says OES_compressed_paletted_texture is a required extension in both Common and Common-Lite profiles: https://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/specs/1.0/opengles_spec_1_0.pdf Looks like the method/constants are there too: http://www.khronos.org/opengles/documentation/opengles1_0/html/glCompressedTexImage2D.html http://developer.android.com/reference/android/opengl/GLES10.html#glCompressedTexImage2D%28int,%20int,%20int,%20int,%20int,%20int,%20int,%20java.nio.Buffer%29 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/opengl/GLES10.html#GL_PALETTE4_R5_G6_B5_OES Haven't tried them myself, though. On Dec 27, 7:19 pm, Steve rockthesm...@gmail.com wrote: Hi there, I am looking to improve performance of my OpenGL engine (for games), and something that has come up a few times is texture compression, the problem is when it 'comes up' there only seems to be vague details - so I spent some time tonight trying to get to the bottom of it, and failed. So I hoped someone here might know more specifically: What is the best texture compression format to use for Android? It appears to me that this varies per device, with the main (only?) two being ATITC and PVRTC. I am able to dig up reasonable details on PVRTC (as it is used on iPhone), but as of yet I am yet to find out exactly how to create an ATITC texture and load it on Android (I've been lead towards 'The Compressonator' tool from ATI/AMD, but there is no 'ATITC' compression option). The method I have seen mentioned is some form of palletised textures, does anyone know if this is a feature supported on all Android implementations (guaranteed by the OpenGL:ES 1.0 spec) or once again, or just supported on certain devices? I have been trying to keep things simple by having one package for my entire game, and have tried to keep it under 10 MB (which is hard, as it is a rather large game), but if in order to get best performance/ lowest memory foot print, I need to store the textures in multiple formats, I think I am going to be out of luck, and instead will need to investigate having a downloader built in to the game, to download a texture pack suitable for the device (which to me doesn't feel like a nice setup). Am I going to end up needing separate texture files, audio files, native libs, higher/lower resolution files, to support a good chunk of platforms? So I guess in short I am hoping someone might be able to tell me what compression method(s) are best to support, whether multiple methods should be supported (ideally), and what sort of performance/memory win can be had from implementing them. Finally some source code/links to tools to do all this would be handy. Can anyone help? Has anyone actually managed to do any of this?

[android-developers] custom keyboard
I am wanting to add a custom keyboard for my app, I was taking a look at the softkeyboard example on the included sample code in the SDK. When I install it in the emulator it isn't showing up though. I try to access it by longpressing an input box and then clicking select input when the context menu pops up. However, the latin keyboard made in the example doesn't show up as one of the options. Am I missing something? Anyone have advice or know of another example I can look at? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Google Marketplace Chargeback Fee
It a part of doing business using credit cards... usually these charge- back fees are higher. Just do a google-search for chargeback fee to see what it is and how much it usually costs. For purchases under $10, Google automatically charges back the customer's credit card in case of dispute. For purchases over $10, Google does an 'investigation'. When a 'charge back' fee is levied, it means that the customer complained to his/her credit-card company that a purchase wasn't made in his/her name and the purchase was fraudulent. There is nothing you can do about it, except for terminating your Google Checkout account. On Dec 27, 10:06 pm, Craigo craig...@gmail.com wrote: Surely it isn't a fine? Why would the I (the developer) be fined for a customer complaining that the Google Marketplace incorrectly charged them? I have nothing to do with charging, AFAIK, I haven't done anything wrong (I didn't request any charging or refund, the Marketplace just did it upon the customers request)? On Dec 27, 5:43 pm, André andre.rab...@googlemail.com wrote: I don't complain because I didn't care yet. Refunding within the first 24h after purchase is free of charge and the user can do this on his own. Sometimes I get mails about refunds and I redirect the customer to the official Google Checkout website. Never got any complaints after that. After the 24h have passed there's a fine if you're refunding a customer's purchase. This is called the chargeback fee you're speaking about.

[android-developers] about TTS issue
hi all, I have some questions about TTS(text-to-speech) lib, 1) does sdk 1.5 support for TTS? I download TTS application from market, but can't work 2) I develope the TTS app use third party TTS lib, http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/downloads/list but according the tutorial, the app can't work on my platform(x86+sdk 1.5 htc diamond+sdk1.5) the error message is (eg: to speech hello):: I/TTS received: ( 3020): hello V/TtsService( 3020): TTS service received hello I/TtsService( 3020): Stopping I/TtsService( 3020): Stopped V/TtsService( 3020): TTS processing: hello V/TtsService( 3020): null synth, can't speak can somebody give me the suggestion? thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] getContextClassLoader() on Android
I define my own class on an android program, say MyClass, but when I
use the following code to do forName, ClassNotFoundException is
thrown:
Class MyClass {
}
void doForname() {
Class.forName(com.sleepycat.je.Database, true,
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
}
But, if I change doForname to
void doForname() {
/*do not use Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()*/
Class.forName(com.sleepycat.je.Database);
}
The class of MyClass can be successfully fetched.
Further more, if I use getContextClassLoader() for other class
existing in android, e.g.,
Class.forName(android.app.Activity, true, Thread.currentThread
().getContextClassLoader());
or
Class.forName(java.io.File, true, Thread.currentThread
().getContextClassLoader());
foName can run successfully.
To sum up, using Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() cannot
forName the customer-defined class.
Who can tell me why?
Thanks.
