[android-developers] Re: Changing button text color in various states (down, disabled etc)
Thanks. ColorStateList did the trick! I would like to vary the text color of a custom button that I am making depending on which state it is in (enabled, disabled, state pressed). I know how to use an XML file to describe the different drawables that I need for the different states like so: In the drawables folder I create this custom_button.xml file --- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? selector xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; item android:drawable=@drawable/button_enabled android:state_pressed=false / item android:drawable=@drawable/button_tap android:state_pressed=true / item android:drawable=@drawable/button_inactive android:state_enabled=false / /selector However, adding android:textColor to each item totally makes the button style invalid.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How do you create a custom Preference which needs to invoke a activity for result like RingtonePreference?
Pino, You can always implement your own subclass of Preference. The same thing can be done differently inside Android and in regular applications, that's Ok. Subclassing Preference is actually quite nice, since the base class handles the drawing of title and subtitle strings, so your own preference will automatically have the right look.

Re: [android-developers] Chilling news: Oracle sues Google over Android
I'm not going to pull any numbers as to why I say that most people think java sucks, maybe it's just some. I've gathered this from workplaces, forum/irc chats, etc. A lot of java applications are hated upon due to being slow (Eclipse, Azureus, Tomcat?). Java browser apps are generally slower than their javascript or even flash counterparts. (They're also regarded as outdated) Actually, I don't agree with your use of slow with the apps you mentioned. Eclipse is very snappy... I've not seen any difference in it over any other native IDE. Netbeans on the other hand I have found sluggish at times, but is usually snappy. Azureus is built on the same underpinnings that Eclipse is built on, which if you don't know, IBM built their own GUI toolkit because they felt Swing/AWT was too slow. Those are good examples of perhaps the two most popular Java client applications out there, and both are very solid. I've seen many native apps more sluggish and crash than either of those apps, so they weren't good examples. Tomcat.. it's a server app.. I am not sure what it slow about it? There are no doubt MANY slow java apps, and yes, for the most part you have to know how to develop a smooth running GUI app (Swing in this case). The truth is, the majority of developers that are tasked with such apps have no clue what they are doing and learn while doing.. usually releasing a not so great application. I will admit, I was one of those... I was learning Swing while working on an application. I didn't know a lot about the Swing event thread, threads in general, and it could be seen in my app. I eventually adopted a plugin model that I built from the ground up and got things working a lot smoother, but it took a while to really learn the tricks of Swing, class loading, and threading within a Swing app. As for server side... well, I dare say that Java is more performant than any other language/platform out there. I think most people know this, or I would guess that by now, the majority of major corporations would have long since switched to .net or something else. I would also say that the majority of java developers fall into the JEE camp of development. I had hopes for Swing.. I still feel that there is no GUI kit on any platform as good.. overall. By that I mean, the ability to literally develop a full GUI app that runs on every platform out there with little.. and in most cases, no changes, is amazing. I had my app running on windows (all flavors), Mac, Linux, Unix, and a few others, with no changes. If you've ever tried to do a cross platform application in any other language, especially one with a GUI where each platform's native GUI toolkit is different than others, well.. I'd say that most developers would be willing to forgo the sometimes slowness over the incredible flexibility and time savings, let alone an app that looks/feels/works the same on every platform. I am not so sure about Java FX tho. It seemed like a good idea.. but I still haven't seen where it's catching on in a big way yet. I am learning about JSF and such now and it's a pretty nice technology stack for doing web development with. This is why google had to make its own vm to optimize it, plus you have to go through some pains to avoid the GC where as in regular Java apps objects are allocated all the time. This causes them to lag badly when objects are constantly being allocated and freed. In a server app this really isn't a problem, and the JVM is pretty good to work with. (ie with scala, groovy, etc) I don't believe this is why google made their own VM. From what I understood, they made it to reduce the footprint and Jave ME wasn't good enough. A little fact.. until Froyo... Android OS was slower than Jave ME on older hardware. It's only with Froyo and the JIT they include with it that apps are really starting to become speedy. That's not to say Android 2.0/2.1 wasn't good... for a phone, or even a tablet, most apps are plenty fast enough without a JIT. I think the JIT will help in some genres, especially games that aren't completely done in the NDK. Java is very popular for day to day and general programming, because it's the main language at most universities. However, I haven't seen any truly innovative snappy or fast performing apps either client or server side. (Maybe even the corporate there's a lot of reliable and fast code.) There is a taboo, where it's regarded that programmers who only know java aren't very good. I think programmers that only know java are far less than those that learned Java from another language, usually C/C++ or VBasic.. I myself came over from Delphi which was more like Java than Pascal in my opinion. As for it being as popular because it's taught at universities.. don't agree at all. Pascal and C were taught for a lot longer than Java has been, and Java has far surpassed it in choice in the industry right now. Android is only going to add

Eclipse is not snappy, at all. Not even close. KDevelop is snappy. XCode is snappy enough. Azureus is slow too, you have to really tune the settings to get some decent performance, same with Eclipse. Never used Tomcat? It can slow a server to a crawl with just a few processes. Not all of us can afford top of the line computers in order to run some software that runs fast in other programming languages. There are no doubt MANY slow java apps, and yes, for the most part you have to know how to develop a smooth running GUI app (Swing in this case).

Again, for your standard server applications. Subtle things in the GC process (as previously explained) make it too slow optimal performance. Then again, I use erlang so I'm spoiled. Nothing like being able to seamlessly interconnect vms. The GUI case, it's a myth, at least it's not as nice as it sounds. For once, the java GUIs are ugly and don't conform to the OSs standard look and feel. Not only does it look ugly, but it's slow. I'd rather have a few macros and use C++ with wxWidgets or QT and have a fast app, with a native look and feel. The IBM widget kit isn't significantly faster or efficient than the Swig one. I don't believe this is why google made their own VM. From what I understood, they made it to reduce the footprint and Jave ME wasn't good enough. A little fact.. until Froyo...

I think programmers that only know java are far less than those that learned Java from another language, usually C/C++ or VBasic.. I myself came over from Delphi which was more like Java than Pascal in my opinion. As for it being as popular because it's taught at universities.. don't agree at all. Pascal and C were taught for a lot longer than Java has been, and Java has far surpassed it in choice the industry right now. Android is only going to add to the popularity of Java, and thanks to Apple's ridiculous requirements and rules, it's also helping many developers leave Apple and come to Android. I don't believe in taboos... if I have to I can pick up other languages as needed. Thus far, there hasn't been anything I can't do with Java. I don't write native/platform games, or system drivers, most other apps I can use Java for. That's why java is good for your standard apps, which is what it's great for. It doesn't push the standard in speed the way C does. It doesn't push the standard with expressiveness the way many other languages do. It doesn't push the standard with multicore programming beside standard threads. Also, Java is not C. It's slower, but easier to learn and use. That's why it became more popular than C. Not sure what happened to Pascal. Last time I used Pascal I was in the 8th grade. The thing with java is that its become one of those code monkey/slave languages like php. I'm sure java will live on for a long time, it just won't be talked about. At least it wouldn't if people wouldn't be improving it. -- http://developingthedream.blogspot.com/, http://diastrofunk.com,

[android-developers] Application Lock
Hi All, I came across an Application in Android Market which locks the use of application. Meaning after locking an application can only unlock it using password. My question is, can this be done for hardware? E.g. Password protect camera for example, so only can unlock it using the same password. While locked, all applications using camera cannot access the camera hardware.

Re: [android-developers] Chilling news: Oracle sues Google over Android
sucks? Do you back this up in some way? Java is a very good language. I am curious what you find so bad, what languages you think are vastly superior? ... it sucks. Anyway.. I am not opposed to other languages.. NDK.. as soon as it allows for direct audio and video access.. will be the language of choice for most of android development anyway (aka.. C). If Java is so great, why will the NDK(C/C++) become the language of choice - as soon as google provides a useable API? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

RE: [android-developers] Application Lock
I think this can be done. In settings application, we need to add privacy lock features to lock the defferent applications. So suppose camera is selected for lock, then this entry has to be maintained in DB. From camera hardware side, 1st function to open the camera is Camera.open(). This function should check for DB entry 1st and then depending on the lock/unlock, return camera handle and error to application who is calling this method. -Original Message- From: android-developers@googlegroups.com [mailto:android-develop...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of perumal316 Sent: Friday, August 13, 2010 1:55 PM To: Android Developers Subject: [android-developers] Application Lock Hi All, I came across an Application in Android Market which locks the use of application.

[android-developers] Re: Invoking A Web Service Through A Button
Look at AsyncTask. The key thing is that you should never do anything that blocks or takes a long time on the main (UI) thread. That especially includes anything related to the network -- IO, opening/closing connections, or even resolving hostnames. A service by itself does not solve that, as it also runs on the main thread. The key idea is that you start an AsyncTask, and it runs the slow part on another thread, and then arranges to run something when that finishes. So your button will start the AsyncTask, which will call its onPostExecute() method to do whatever your really want the button to do when the JSON data comes back.

These are important things if you have to reach the end customers. In the industrial world, where both issues are less important, Java is widespread. Just have a look at http://platform.netbeans.org/screenshots.html and http://eclipse.org/community/rcp.php. You'll find tons of applications made even by large corporates and for basically all the industrial segments, running on the desktop. These are only the subset of Java applications using the NetBeans Platform and Eclipse RCP technologies - - there are many others. And these are only those that the makers were available to speak on; for instance, I've been consulting for years also on Java on the desktop and have customers running large and business applications which are 100% Java, also on the desktop, but aren't interested in publicly talking about them. Also, industrial applications don't make easily through common news as customer applications do, and this explain why Java is not well known to the large public. Yes, Java needs more memory in comparison with C. So, what's the point? It's a matter of cost / benefit ratio and memory is cheap enough to wholly compensate the increment in productivity that one has by working with the whole Java ecosystem (which include tools heavily based on bytecode manipulation, such as profilers, AOP, coverage reporting tools, etc...) that aren't in the domain of C because it compiles to native code. For what comes to Android, I'd like to recall that up to 2.1 we didn't have any JIT, that has been introduced with 2.2. I'd be curious to know whether people who has experienced some performance troubles with Dalvik has tried his app on Froyo. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - We make Java work.

[android-developers] Re: Record audio problem on the LG Ally
Jeff I did some benchmarking first. I have versions of my algorithms in both C++ and Java. I sample at 22KHz for 12 seconds and perform an SFTF on 2048 sample frames with a 75% overlap in order to transcribe what the user has played on their instrument. I do some other stuff on the spectrum to figure out the F0 and I have a mechanism for filtering out some of the transcribed notes that I've described in my papers: http://www.comp.dit.ie/bduggan/research.php C++ code to do this on the iPhone 3G takes about 12 seconds to do the DSP. This is about 50% faster on an iPhone 4G 100% Java code to do the identical task on a 1Ghz HTC Desire takes minutes (running Android 2.1). I dont have the exact numbers, but basically not practical. The same code running on WIndows 7, JDK takes a few seconds. The identical C++ implementation I use on the iPhone I call on Android using the Android NDK and it only takes a few secomds Conclusion - Android Java on 2.1 is slow for maths intensive code. DSP in Java on Android 2.1 or less is not practical. It has to be done in native code. Thats why Im a bit reluctant to consider a Win Phone 7 version of my app - no native code. Hope that helps!

[android-developers] Read from sdcard problem (version 1.6)
Hello I'm trying to make a photo calling the CAMERA Intent an after returning to my application read the file, but altough I get a File like /sdcard/DCIM/camera/.jpg if I try to open the file, it exist and can be read (check with File.exist or File.canread BUT the length of the file is always 0... More or less my code is: call the camera intent like: Uri imageUri = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values); Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri); intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_VIDEO_QUALITY, 1); startActivityForResult(intent, CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST_CODE) in the onActivityResult I do this: get the File from the Uri, something like (cutpaste from internet): Cursor cursor = null; try { String [] proj={MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID, MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION}; cursor = activity.managedQuery( imageUri, proj, null, null, null); int file_ColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA); int orientation_ColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.ORIENTATION); if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { String orientation = cursor.getString(orientation_ColumnIndex); return new File(cursor.getString(file_ColumnIndex)); } return null; } finally { if (cursor != null) { cursor.close(); } } So I get a File like /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/X.jpg So if I do: file.exists() -- true file.canRead() -- true file.length() -- 0 !!! So I cant read the file from sdcard (if I try to ignore the size and simply open a FileInputStream and read it reads of course 0 bytes... So where is the problem? I'm stuck on this...

You can optimize the hell out of it. That's why I said it's ok to good. When was the last time you heard of java in the news or in anything interesting until recently with android? Like I said, Oracle should be grateful google chose to use java. Java on customer desktop applications has been limited by a number of things that you previously cited: it's hard (but not impossible) to get a native look and feel, and for many years in the past it was even difficult to get a decent look and feel, and for many years there have been hard times in deploying it easily (there are still some residual problems). These are important things if you have to reach the end customers. In the industrial world, where both issues are less important, Java is widespread. Just have a look athttp://platform.netbeans.org/screenshots.htmlandhttp://eclipse.org/community/rcp.php. You'll find tons of applications made even by large corporates and for basically all the industrial segments, running on the desktop. These are only the subset of Java applications using the NetBeans Platform and Eclipse RCP technologies - - there are many others. And these are only those that the makers were available to speak on; for instance, I've been consulting for years also on Java on the desktop and have customers running large and business applications which are 100% Java, also on the desktop, but aren't interested in publicly talking about them. Also, industrial applications don't make easily through common news as customer applications do, and this explain why Java is not well known to the large public. Yes, Java needs more memory in comparison with C. So, what's the point? It's a matter of cost / benefit ratio and memory is cheap enough to wholly compensate the increment in productivity that one has by working with the whole Java ecosystem (which include tools heavily based on bytecode manipulation, such as profilers, AOP, coverage reporting tools, etc...) that aren't in the domain of C because it compiles to native code. For what comes to Android, I'd like to recall that up to 2.1 we didn't have any JIT, that has been introduced with 2.2.

[android-developers] Re: Error in an XML file eclipse
I have exactly the same problem. Whever I open string.xml and some other xml files I also get a Java Null Pointer error. Typing even a single character triggers it. I can look at them fine as xml, but Resources view is broken - the left hand pane has the thin lines that should connect the elements in the tree structure, but no elements listed. Saving the file also creates null pointer errors. You can use editors that don't have a graphical view in the left hand window - for example the xml editor works fine. Unfortunately the more useful editors all show heirarchies and don't work. It is true even for the default files created by new - android project. As I say, the xml itself looks fine; its related to how the information is shown in the left hand window; if it uses a tree representation of the data, it throws a Null Pointer exception.. Whatever it is, its a PITA. I would completely remove and re-install the whole devel environment if I was sure it would fix it.

I have OxygenXML installed, and that providesEclipsewith an additionalXMLeditor as well, with the Oxygen toolset and editing style available. Even if the Android tool is broken, explore and I think you'll probably find something that works acceptably for you. (It's still a bug, even if you are using the wrong editor.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How do you create a custom Preference which needs to invoke a activity for result like RingtonePreference?
On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 11:19 PM, Pino Silvaggio pino.silvag...@gmail.comwrote: Yes PreferenceActivity is an Activity. But that not my problem. No, it's your solution. From PreferenceActivity you can get the list of all preferences defined in your Preferences, set click listeners for any of them, and call startActivityForResult() from the PreferenceActivity to do whatever you need. What's the problem with this? The issue is how do I create a custom preference like RingtonePreference Extend Preference, just like it does? if what I need is in PreferenceManager and is hidden by package level? I don't see what you *need* this. example: registerOnActivityResultListener which is needed if I want to call preferenceManager.getActivity().startActivityForResult() which getActivity() is also hidden. This makes no sense. What makes no sense is why you feel you need to go through the PreferenceManager functions when these two facilities are available to you in PreferenceActivity. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Enable usb debugging (under settings/applications/development) programatically from within app
Thanks for the info. It's clear now. enable adb by hand: I don't want to deliver the device with adb enabled, because I don't want the end-user to be able to do anything with adb. Scenario is that my client (very non-technical) does the data sync between PC application and Android device (using adb in the background), so all he needs to do is plug in the device and sync from within the Android application. In fact, he cannot even leave the application. So everything should be handled from the application, incl. enabling adb end disabling adb when the data sync is completed. This non-technical client will hand/rent out the device to other people for daily usage. I don't want those people to be mess around with adb in any way.

[android-developers] Android Market cropping uploaded screenshots
Thought I'd inquire here where perhaps some other dev is having similar problems currently. I've done this before (months ago), and as far as I can tell, I'm doing it the same way. My 480x854 24-bit PNG screenshots are being scaled/cropped by Market. Same with 480x854 jpgs. It looks like they're being cropped to 480x800 but of course, Market won't let me upload an image with those dimensions. Windows explorer confirms that my PNG file is of the proscribed size and bit depth. The app is Metronome++ if you want to see what the problem looks like on Market. Do I really need to work around this by providing screenshots with margins? As 480x854 is a standard screen size, I am assuming the intent is for the screenshot to go edge to edge in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Apps that do not support large screens are still available to large screen devices. Apps that do not support small screens are not available to small screen devices.

[android-developers] Re: How do you create a custom Preference which needs to invoke a activity for result like RingtonePreference?
This is so simple. If I use a PreferenceActivity to handle my CustomPreference onclick() or any other state of a Preference added to it then the CustomPreference is worthless and is tied to a specific activity. It's like RingtonePreference basically doesn't do anything and you have to explicitly write code in PreferenceActivity to make it work. Just look at the android sources you'll understand what I mean. RingtonePreference handles the activity call to pick a ringtone and save it's state. I want to create a CustomPreference that is self-contained like any other android preferences.

From PreferenceActivity you can get the list of all preferences defined in your Preferences, set click listeners for any of them, and call startActivityForResult() from the PreferenceActivity to do whatever you need. What's the problem with this? The issue is how do I create a custom preference like RingtonePreference Extend Preference, just like it does? if what I need is in PreferenceManager and is hidden by package level? I don't see what you *need* this. example: registerOnActivityResultListener which is needed if I want to call preferenceManager.getActivity().startActivityForResult() which getActivity() is also hidden. This makes no sense. What makes no sense is why you feel you need to go through the PreferenceManager functions when these two facilities are available to you in PreferenceActivity. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Sqlite Delete doesn't delete
Thanks everybody, yea the problem is that the WHERE clause was using my string value without the quotes.

It looks like you just missed it; it's there: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/5b9079168c77cd35 On Aug 11, 4:12 pm, Martin Grotzke martin.grot...@googlemail.com wrote: Is my previous message really still waiting for approval?

I found the code for a TouchImageView on stackoverflow (http:// stackoverflow.com/questions/2537238/how-can-i-get-zoom-functionality- for-images ) which works fine for a single image (in a LinearLayout). Unfortunately, when I combine the Gallery and the TouchImageView (returning a TouchImageView in the adapters getView), it does not work: - there's no pinch-zoom - it's no longer possible to switch the images (via fling) I found some similar posts here, the best match seems to be http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa... However, I don't see really how to put the mentioned parts together to get the things running. Can anybody help with this?

Re: [android-developers] Android Market cropping uploaded screenshots
I've run into the same problem with my app on the market. It looks OK when you click in to view the screenshot, but looks fuzzy when viewing from the app's page on the market. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com Fantasy Footballhttp://chriswstewart.com/android-applications/fantasy-football/- Android app for fantasy football fanatics and MFL owners Social Updaterhttp://chriswstewart.com/android-applications/social-updater/- An easy way to send your status blast to multiple social networks On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 11:33 AM, OldSkoolMark m...@sublimeslime.comwrote: Thought I'd inquire here where perhaps some other dev is having similar problems currently. I've done this before (months ago), and as far as I can tell, I'm doing it the same way. My 480x854 24-bit PNG screenshots are being scaled/cropped by Market. Same with 480x854 jpgs. It looks like they're being cropped to 480x800 but of course, Market won't let me upload an image with those dimensions. Windows explorer confirms that my PNG file is of the proscribed size and bit depth. The app is Metronome++ if you want to see what the problem looks like on Market. Do I really need to work around this by providing screenshots with margins? As 480x854 is a standard screen size, I am assuming the intent is for the screenshot to go edge to edge in both horizontal and vertical directions.
