 Do you know any way on how to play a stream using mmsh protocol? It

 Hello,

 Is there a way of being notified when a TransitionDrawable has

 I'm looking for a way to animate the background of a LinearLayout,
 switching it back and forth between two images thus creating a
 pulsating effect. TransitionDrawable works nicely, butonce. I
 tried stacking several 'item' in the XML defining the transition, but
 no luck. It justs fades from item 1 to item 2 and sits there.
yes, TransitionDrawable fades in/out two Drawables and you cannot make
it work in repeat mode

 I'm wondering if I shouldn't implement a custom Animation.
i would implement custom Drawable instead


 Any ideas?

 Thanks :)

We are developing an Android video conferencing application. After
examining some already existing live-stream applications , we came to
the conclusion that all or almost all existing applications have a
delay of 3 to 10 seconds. The application we are developing was tested
receiving a video stream on the Android device and the same video
stream on VLC at the same time.The result of the test is that VLC
shows the same part of the video 2 to 10 seconds earlier than our
Android application on the phone(HTC hero) depending on the rtsp link
used. we havent found what is the main cause of the delay and also
dont know if it is possible to reduce that delay.
In our case, as it comes to video conferencing, the delay should be
lower than 2 seconds at least. Do you guys have some information about
the cause of the delay or even how to reduce it?

[android-developers] Re: convert a image into Base64 format

2010-04-27 Thread Gubatron

It looks like you're sending a POST request for every line you're
encoding.

If you're trying to do it in one shot, then why have a while
statement?

In any case, do not do it in one shot, use buffered streams instead,
it could happen that your image is too big,
so you're better off reading that FileInputStream wrapped with a
BufferedInputStream,
at the same time, prepare your HTTP connection, then, as you read from
the bufferedInputStream, do your base64 encoding,
and then write to a buffered output stream (to your HTTP) connection.

Also, you should probably send the name of the file as an HTTP Header
that you could parse on your server side.

As I write this I'm also thinking that it might be useful on your
server side what the file size will be. If I remember correctly
everything in base64 is padded (every line should be 64 bytes), maybe
you can do some math to know how big will be the
encoded image in advance and send the size on a Content-Length http
header. If not you can do the the conversion,
save the base64 version of the image on a temporary file, and then
find out the resulting size, then just send that file as you
would post a regular file.

[android-developers] Using same sqlite database from multiple Activities and Services

2010-04-27 Thread goosedroid

I have been trying to find a discussion on the best way to handle a
common sqlite database which is shared by multiple Activities (or
multiple Activities and Services). This is all in the same
application.

It seems that if each Activity has:

void onCreate()
{
SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(...)
...
}

void onDestroy()
{
   db.close();
   ...
}

this would be wasteful, assuming there would be N SQLiteDatabase
objects with N activities that needed access to the same db.

One could go about making a singleton, but who would be responsible
for closing the database when the application terminates?

Would it be best to extend the android.app.Application class and hook
into the onTerminate() to close the database?

Taking a look at NotePadv3Solution, I can't find where it closes the
database - and that is a pretty straightforward example.

[android-developers] Re: Deploy a build for a specific resolution

2010-04-27 Thread tobias429

Hi Viorel,

Filtering by OS is quite simple. You can specify in your application's
manifest the target, minimum or maximum OS version your application
needs, e.g.:

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=4/

The market will show your app then only to phones that have the
required OS version.

On the resolution it's a bit more tricky. You can specify, also in the
manifest, what resolutions your phone supports, e.g.:

supports-screens android:smallScreens=true
android:normalScreens=true android:largeScreens=true
android:anyDensity=true android:resizeable=true/

The market will list your app then only for phones that are able to
display the required size. The logic is however that the market will
list the application on any phone that has the required resolution or
better. I.e. if you specify that your application supports only
largeScreens (largeScreen=true, everything else=false), the market
will list it only on phones with a big screen.

[android-developers] Re: Game stutters when drawing outside screen

2010-04-27 Thread tobias429

Is the image that you are drawing exactly the same size as the screen
area that you are filling? I noticed in my games that resizing of
images is apparently an incredibly costly operation with Android.

As soon as I draw a bitmap and the OS has to adjust the size of it,
the game begins to stutter as the resize operation takes a lot of CPU
time, and what's worse, it seems to take a different amount of time
every frame. Don't know if you might be seeing the same effect.

On Apr 26, 10:26 am, Peter peteroerlem...@gmail.com wrote:
 Thanks for the suggestion.
 I probably shoud have mentioned this in my original post. Objects
 sometimes leave the screen, therefore they are party drawed outside
 the screen until they are removed. On 320x480 screens this isn't
 visible, but on bigger screens it is. Drawing the image every frame
 solves this problem.

 yes, TransitionDrawable fades in/out two Drawables and you cannot make

 How do I get the phone number in a read device?

getLine1Number() usually returns a value off of the SIM card. Sometimes
this is the correct phone number. Sometimes it is an invalid value.
Sometimes it is the wrong phone number -- on my personal phone, it
returns the phone's original number, before an existing mobile number
was ported over.

I am not aware of another option, however. Even on the Settings screen,
my personal phone reports the wrong number, so I have no evidence that
there is a better solution hidden somewhere inside Android.

 You cannot merely call setProgress() once. If you want the ProgressBar
 to update every second, you will need to call setProgress() every 
 second.

 In this sample project, I am using postDelayed() to achieve this 
 effect:

[android-developers] Something wrong here... using simplest project

2010-04-27 Thread Adrian Vintu

Hi all,

I am getting that annoying 'Something wrong here, didn't expect package
name to be resumed' for the most basic Android project.

Thing is, it only appears on the emulator but not on my Android 1.6 device.
I don't know what to do.

Is the emulator broken? Am I missing something here? This is a bare bone
project, this message should not appear, right?

Details and the test project can be found here
http://adrianvintu.com/blogengine/post/The-Infamous-Something-wrong-here2c-didnt-expect-3cpackage-name3e-to-be-resumed-Warning.aspx

Any feedback is appreciated!

Many thanks,
Adrian Vintu

PS I did try android:configChanges=keyboardHidden|orientation but I don't
want to use this trick.
PPS I did take a peek at UsageStatsService.java but I did not find anything
helpful :(

[android-developers] Re: Uploading large files - using setChunkedStreamingMode

2010-04-27 Thread ferobert


Hi Carmen,

I run into the same OutOfMemoryError issue when uploading video files of  
several MB within my app. I decided to look into this for the next version  
of the app. So, in the unlikely event you still haven't found a solution  
for this, here is how I get an answer from the server, even when using  
setChunkedStreamingMode:


DataInputStream inStream = new DataInputStream ( conn.getInputStream() );
String oneLine, fullMsg=, msgStr;
while (( oneLine = inStream.readLine()) != null) {
if (DEBUG) Log.d(TAG, Server Response:  + oneLine);
fullMsg += oneLine + \n;
}
inStream.close();

I could have used a StringBuilder for fullMsg, but I have 2 lines at most  
coming from the server.


Robert
--
http://dailyroads.com/voyager/



If I upload a large file using an HttpURLConnection and
setChunkedStreamingMode the file is successfully uploaded. But, I am not
able to read the response from the server.



If I leave out streaming mode line:
conn.setChunkedStreamingMode(1000*1024);
I get an out of memory error on large file, but this works well for small
files and I get a response from the server.



Any insights on this?
Carmen



// Set up URL Connection for streaming
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) connectURL.openConnection();
conn.setDoInput(true);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setChunkedStreamingMode(1000*1024);
conn.setRequestMethod(POST);
conn.setRequestProperty(Connection, Keep-Alive);
conn.setRequestProperty(Content-Type,
multipart/form-data;boundary=+boundary);



// Read response
// this works for small files when not in streaming mode
// for large files, connection is reset by server (time outs)
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader( conn.getInputStream() );
StringBuilder in = new StringBuilder( 32000 );
int x;
while ( (x=reader.read()) != -1 ){
in.append( (char)x );
}

[android-developers] Insert animation between video playback?

2010-04-27 Thread Abhi

Hello

I am not sure if this makes any sense. But what I really want to do is
to insert some animation snippets (1-2 secs) in between my Video
playback to try and give the users a transitional effect while
watching videos. My questions really is whether I can do this while
the videoview is running the video:

mVideoView.pause();
mVideoView.setVideoPath(location of a short animation clip);
mVideoView.start();

. 1-2 secs of animation playback on the same view

mVideoView.setVideoPath(location of original video);
mVideoView.seekTo(where I paused);
mVideoView.start();

Am I shooting in the dark or is this something I can spend time
trying?

Thanks,

Abhi

[android-developers] Error getting GPS location on Droid + android 2.0 sdk

2010-04-27 Thread mudit

Hi all

I am trying develop an application which shows user current location.
To find user's current location i am using following code:

import android.os.Bundle;

public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener {

private static double latitude;
private static double longitude;

latitude = arg0.getLatitude();
longitude = arg0.getLongitude();
// Log.d(MyLocationListener, onLocationChanged);
}

@Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {

// Log.d(MyLocationListener, onProviderDisabled);
}

@Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// Log.d(MyLocationListener, onProviderEnabled);

have tested this code on Droid and Magic.

[android-developers] Re: How to warn user when back button is pressed to navigate out of my application?

2010-04-27 Thread Zigurd

Maybe an audible cue that they are about to navigate back out? But, as
others have said, that navigation should have no bad consequences, so
the user need not be aware of it.

While a home navigation in the option menu is not desirable, that
would be one way to enable your users to return to the top of your
application. Give this anchor activity a meaningful name and give
the user a menu item so they can get to it from anywhere, if your
users really need that.

This article 
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/activity_task_design.html
covers how navigation should work.

I am trying to switch between two video files dynamically, but as soon

if(mVideoView.getCurrentPosition()2000)  //switch to other video

{

mVideoView.pause();
mVideoView.stopPlayback();

mVideoView.setVideoPath(/sdcard/Videos/Test.mp4);

[android-developers] Re: How to warn user when back button is pressed to navigate out of my application?

2010-04-27 Thread Streets Of Boston

I would strongly advise against fighting the normal stack-based work-
flow of android activities.
If the user pressed the back-key, he/she probably wants to 'go back'.
Don't fight your customer on this. Don't try to break or modify the
work-flow model of Android.

But, if you must, you could warn the user by implementing onKeyUp/
onKeyDown or onBackPressed methods of your activity and prevent the
'native' handling of the back-key press there. Popup a dialog. If the
user says 'OK', then call 'finish()', otherwise do nothing. Still, do
this if only you absolutely must! I still advise against it.

[android-developers] Re: Game stutters when drawing outside screen

2010-04-27 Thread Peter

@ko5tik
I didnt know about clipping, but that might be the solution for me. If
I use clipping on the Canvas I only have to draw the image once (as
you suggested in your first post). Thanks!
I dont think providing a background hi-res will work, because the OS
'zooms in' on a bigger screen. Therefore, it runs exactly the same as
on a 320 x 480 screen.

@tobias429
The image I draw is exactly the same size as the part of the screen
that is 'black' because of the scaling to a bigger resolution. I also
tried to draw an image that is smaller, which reduces the stuttering,
but it's always there. When running my 320 x 480 game on a bigger
screen resolution I dont think the images are resized, it's just
'zoomed in'. When I get the screen resolution in my code on a 600 x
800 screen I get 320 x 533 back, which makes sense because of the
difference in the screen dimension.

If my presumable solution works I will post back.

Re: [android-developers] Using same sqlite database from multiple Activities and Services

2010-04-27 Thread Martin Obreshkov

I my app i there is service which is working in background and it's holding
the instance of sql connection. When no activities are using the service
it's destroyed and the connection is closed.

 I have been trying to find a discussion on the best way to handle a

 It seems that if each Activity has:

 {
SQLiteDatabase db = SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(...)
...
 }

 void onDestroy()
 {
   db.close();
   ...
 }

 this would be wasteful, assuming there would be N SQLiteDatabase
 objects with N activities that needed access to the same db.

 One could go about making a singleton, but who would be responsible
 for closing the database when the application terminates?

 Would it be best to extend the android.app.Application class and hook
 into the onTerminate() to close the database?

 Taking a look at NotePadv3Solution, I can't find where it closes the
 database - and that is a pretty straightforward example.

You're blocking the main thread with your getFriends() call which prevents

[android-developers] Widget with scrollable list of items

2010-04-27 Thread Timo Prill


hi,

i cannot find any example of a widget showing a scrollable list of items 
(e.g. text)

since the widget api says there is no listview, no scrollview etc.. at all,
how to implement a scrollable list inside a widget?

for example a list like friends-stream from HTC shows or many other 
widgets around


do i have to code my own list-implementation for a widget or am i just 
too blind?


anyone?

[android-developers] AsyncTask and progressUpdate()

2010-04-27 Thread MobDev

Hi,
I am using an AsyncTask to start out a sequence of events to retrieve
data from the net, parse this data and then write it to the
Database...
I have divided my code into several modules, one for networking
operations (which is used for retrieving the data), one for xml-
parsing, and one for DB funtionality... The first one calls the second
one when it's done and so on...
So now I was wondering if there is some correct way to make an
AsyncTask public so that everyone of those modules is able to call
the progressUpdate() method to show the user what the general progress
is (like placing a horizontal progress bar on 1/3 when the data has
beendonwloaded, on 2/3 when the parsing is done and 3/3 when it's done
writing to the DB)...

IMHO, the AsyncTask should be the driver, not be driven, so you would

other modules to have work be completed.

Usually, that is a benign message, meaning the adb daemon and AVD are
slightly incompatible. For example, if you have an Android 2.1
installation with the latest tools, and you try installing an app on an

[android-developers] Re: HTC Incredible no default external storage?

2010-04-27 Thread webmonkey

It appears to be a serious issue for developers, see:

http://www.androidauthority.com/index.php/2010/04/23/nice-htc-droid-incredible-photos-and-application-issues/

It mentions:

For those of you interested, the internal 8GB of storage on the phone
is mounted at /emmc (r/w mode, of course) and microSD cards still
shows up normally at /sdcard as expected.

I can't believe they did this. Samsung's solution was not perfect but
at least it was compatible. To get to this you have to hardcode the
path.

And developers are probably going to be blamed for the issue. I can
already see the emails and comments from users Why does this app need
an SD card, I have 8GB internal storage. Why don't you do it like the
apps that came with the phone.

It would not shock me in the least, though, if the micro SD card is the

I come across with the WindowManager.Layout.FLAG_SCALED in SDK but

Use your layout managers properly, and this happens automatically.

If you feel you are not getting the results you seek, write back with

That's what TreKing was pointing you toward.

Step #1: Get your widget's LayoutParams

Step #2: Change the margin values

Step #3: Either call setLayoutParams() (on the widget) or invalidate()
(on the parent) to visibly affect the change -- I'm a bit fuzzy on this
step, as it's been ages since I've needed to make changes like this

My code previously opens the socketChannel with the InetSocketAddress

Not sure it really helps, but here is the exception :

 To give more details, the exception happens when I'm writing on the

 everything seems to be correct. Plus I see my client on the server

 By the way, I use a non blocking socket.

 So, I would be very happy if anyone had a clue regarding this ... I

[android-developers] ListView with multiple layouts formats in it

2010-04-27 Thread noid

I'm trying to create a ListView that has different layouts in it.
Basically headers which contain only one string, and then items under
the headers that have a string and a picture.  So something like


HEADER A
img1 : item A1text
img2 : item A2 text
img3 : item A3 text
HEADER B
img1 : item B1text
img2 : item B2 text

I've created a custom ArrayAdapter, but the constructor takes a
textViewResourceId which specifies what layout the items in the list
will use to display.  My problem is I have 2 formats.  One for the
header and one for the item.  So in the below example, OrderAdapter is
passed R.layout.header. (header is defined by header.xml).

this.m_adapter = new OrderAdapter(this, R.layout.header, m_orders);

I need OrderAdapter to handle R.layout.header AND R.layout.item
(item.xml defines a ImageView and a textView, header.xml only defines
TextView).

How is this done?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: How do ListViews exactly work?

2010-04-27 Thread Moto

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your reply!  I agree with some of the information you
provided.

So it seems ListView is keeping track of the list state. To name a
few; scroll position, visible items, user input.

I guess the main idea here is in order to create a completely custom
ListView we need to handle displaying the list items as the user
scrolls.  But to me that seems like too much work, almost re-inventing
the wheel.

My main concern is get and set scroll position smoothly... Thanks to
your post I got a little idea to compute scroll position but not sure
about setting the scroll position. I am able to scroll smoothly via
dispatchTouchEven(...) but it's not accurate, might scroll little too
much and sometimes not enough...  I got some code for that I can get
if you want to see that...

-Moto

 Hi Moto,

 at this moment I'm working on my own custom ListView implementation so
 I can share some investigations I've found about ListView internals.
 1) First of all ListView is adapter view that means that it uses
 adapter object to get it's child views - take a look at
 ArrayAdapter.getView(int, View, ViewGroup)
 2) ListView at the moment only contains children that are on the
 screen. For example, if you have adapter with 100 records but only 5
 are fit on screen ListView.getChildCount will return 5 not 100
 3) each time you scroll your list it refresh dynamically its children
 list getting child view from adapter and/or relayouting existing views
 offsets

 I dont have best understanding now but I think ListView state is : 1)
 first position of child view of screen 2) offset of child view within
 parent view
 if you know first position and it offset you can simply get from
 adapter and draw other ones

 android.widget.AdapterView.getFirstVisiblePosition() will give you a
 position of first item within adapter data on the screen
 use getChildCount() and getChildAt() of ListView to get current child
 views so you can obtain some layout details
 ListView.setSelection(int) allows you to sets the currently selected
 item but I think It will not scroll smoothly to it...

 Hope this will help you

 Thanks,
 Pavel

Re: [android-developers] Multiple - multiple choice dialogs/activities, questionnaire, one question at the time

 So, my problem is I have multiple questions, one to be presented each time,

 I accomplish this?


I would not use Dialogs for this.

One thing you could do is set up a Questionnaire activity with the
appropriate elements (a textview that will hold the question, a list view
with the response options, and a next button).

You could create an object that represents a question that has the actual
question (string), list of responses (strings), and whether its single or
multi-selection.

In your activity you could initialize the set of questions you want to ask
(from a database or something) and present the user with the first question
in the list, which is simply a matter of populating the views in the
activity with the question's properties and setting up the list view to be
single or multi-selection and filled with the response options.

You could validate to make sure something was selected before allowing the
user to move on to the next question. When they hit the next button, you
simply refresh the views with the next question, or show a completed
screen once there are no more questions and allow them to exit the activity.

 Using Settings.System.Airplane_Mode_ON?


Sure? Why don't you try it and see what happens?

Also, I'm sure reading the documentation will give you some answers as well.

Does log show any warnings or errors? Are you leaving the emulator up and
running between app launches? (You should be)

[android-developers] Decimal only keypad

2010-04-27 Thread Siva G

I want to have input type for the text boxes that only takes numbers
and decimal point.

Input type of Number or Decimal, still brings the full keypad and the
buttons are small.

Input type of Phone does the trick, but not all phones have a comma or
a dot to enter the decimal point.

What is the best way around?

Thanks in advance.

I think it's time you all gave up, let this thread die, and move on with
your lives.
If the phone ever does show up it will be a nice surprise one day.

[android-developers] Re: Alarms/Wake Locks/Sound notification question

2010-04-27 Thread nikhil

I dont know what kind of alarm manager or partial wakelock system have
you set up but I would surely advise you to refer to
 Mark's wakefulintentservice. If you can get hold of it correctly, you
should not face any problem with the notification. You may require
broadcast receiver only to start the alarm if the phone restarts.

I would also advise you to test your app on different devices if you
have any and test the results. I dont know why you have multiple
notifications when you can have all in one..

I was able to implement similar structure without any issues on nexus
and g1. But for droid it didn't work that well..

Also, test all the possibilities the speakers, headphones etc.

I would also test the sound files if you are using a custom sound
notification.

  Well you are right that this will drain the battery pretty heavily. At

  If someone has got a solution for that problem I would love hearing

   I mean you may chew up a fair bit of battery life constantly cycling
   through processes, starting and stopping receiver and/or service
   components every 30 seconds. I'd use the battery blame screen in
   Settings to test and see how bad this is in reality.

Unfortunately, marking apps as spam or flagging them as inappropriate, does
pretty much nothing. See this thread in the Android Market Support forum for
an experiment one user ran regarding this.

Don't waste your time, that does nothing more than hide them from your own

[android-developers] Re: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers

2010-04-27 Thread Teo

I almost agree.. But take my case, i'm only using an emulator to maintain a
free popular app, and with existing fragmentation it's getting increasingly
hard... I'd buy an Android phone myself if there wasn't talk about a free
phone, but i wouldn't want to pay money for one and have a 'nice' surprise
one day :)
