[android-developers] Re: Chilling news: Oracle sues Google over Android
I think Java has really become 'the new Cobol' this side of 2020 - helped along significantly by both Oracle's purchase of Sun, and by Google making it a mainstream/relevant UI language (at last!) via Android - i.e. its now past its innovation stage, and has become heavily mainstream and stable (in terms of language features) - hence Gosling jumping ship. Whatever you think of Java it is currently the No.1 computer language worldwide. See the TIOBE Programming Community Index for August 2010 here: www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html Note that C and C++ are still 2nd and 3rd on that index. (Also note the very sharp rise of both Objective C and Google's own GO language). I think Java, C and C++ are going to stay on the podium for a good many years yet. (I recently got back into C++ after 10 years away from it, and was very pleasantly surprised on how useful and modern C++ has been made - on the Bada platform for example. Apparently Samsung spent $100M on Bada, before they made the first WAVE phones, and it certainly shows in their IDE/framework). I think this Oracle legal move spells the end of them doing anything serious with the Java App Store (and the like) - i.e. it looks like they tried to sit on their backsides Java UI-wise and simply muscle a slice of Google's profit stream, but when that hustle didn't work it got handed to the Legal Dept.

The permissions will show correctly when loading it from the market. You can see exactly what will be shown by uploading your app to the developer's console in the market web site. There's a section below the upload button that displays the permissions.

[android-developers] Re: Chilling news: Oracle sues Google over Android
There's far too much written on Java vs whatever other language people think is better. The bottom line is java has hit the right balance between performance/ease of coding/maintenance/scalability and what not, and that's why there's overwhelming adoption for it out there. This also allowed for a huge number of opensource initiatives to flourish. These facts combined make it the best overall choice for the vast majority of projects, corporate or otherwise, and I congratulate Google for choosing java as the primary language for app development, which in turn is allowing our ecosystem to grow at an unprecedented pace (while keeping the competition at bay). Now! can anyone (Google guys?) enlighten us on what's the lawsuit about?

To avoid such issue prescale your screenshots in GIMP or PS to match 320x480 and then upload.

I believe the issue is that you're getting rowId from

IMO you should get row id from cursor coming to you in bindView. This
way you'll get rowId for the record you are currently binding.

[android-developers] Cannot access android.provider.Calendar
Hi, I am trying to run the Calendar widget on the emulator. I checked out the Calendar project (Calendar CalendarProvider) from: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Calendar.git;a=summary When I try to run the code I get the infamous the import android.provider.Calendar cannot be resolved I tried searching online but the only explanation that I found was Calendar is not part of the public API What does that mean? There is no way for us to test and play around Calendar? Is there a way to get Calendar to work? What if I built the entire Android platform? If you could clarify (with examples if applicable) I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Its not slow. My loop sequencer app does such and can mix 10 tracks of 44khz stereo data no problem. The only problem on android is the buffer sizes are never small enuogh for real time play.

I know that BeatMaker alone was responsible for 1000's of iTouch sales, and the app was $20 to boot. There is a lot of potential, especially with the larger tablet screens, for really robust music apps, as well as much better games, once we have these capabilities.

I started this thread with some trepidation, especially the chilling part. But it looks like we got to share our thoughts, if maybe a little OT at times. Fabrizio Giudici wote: My point is that we developers should not be much worried about that. I don't think that Oracle has any real intention to shut down Android, since it's a pot of money. You usually want to have a part of it, or be part of the game, not to destroy it. My principal concerns about Android are the same as one week ago, that is to make my app work at best. Yeah, I don't think this is going to affect Android. My guess is that they'll settle before it goes to a jury. I suppose it would be fair that Oracle monetize the Java IP it got when it bought Sun, but isn't Oracle rich enough? I think Oracle is going to have to tread lightly to avoid alienating the open source community.

The biggest challenge is probably understanding that Android is not J2ME. You need to understand the Android app model (which is highly structured and resembles more the iPhone model than J2ME boxes). If you know J2ME the actual executable language coding is simple, but you'll spend a lot of time understanding the resource model and layouts and the like.

Maybe you should wait until you learn how to program before you upload apps. Uploading crummy apps is a good way to build a bad reputation.

Well, I think you understand that onResume() is called by the Android OS when an activity comes to the foreground. It may help if you briefly described what this update method is supposed to do.

That's how supossed to be. When Activity1 launchs Activity5, Activity1
goes background and can be killed at any time by the system. Now, if
you go to home, Activity5 goes to backgroud. Going back to your
application, Activity5 cames on foreground. Pressing back, Activity1
goes to foreground destroying Activity5.
I think you'll need to redesign as you can't think yourself from where
you are coming to foreground. If you are using only different views,
try thinking on that: using just differents views (if they aren't too
much though).
Where I can put my update method if activity return to the foreground?
If you want just play dirty, maybe there's a way to catch the home
button press (I don't know if possible) event. But, your activity can
be killed at any time. You can't make assumptions when your activity
is no more visible.

In Malaysia, there was one click that generated 11 cents, and in Japan there were 2 clicks that generated 0 cents. Does anyone know how this works??

[android-developers] Streaming MP3 Playback Problems on Android 2.2
I'm developing an app that streams some audio samples from eMusic.com. I basically use the MediaPlayer class to play back the sample.mp3 from a particular URL (I do use prepareAsync). On Android 1.6-2.1, the playback is fine, however on Android 2.2 (both the emulator and Nexus One) the playback contains tinny artifacts and often dies with an error like: I/AwesomePlayer( 34): calling prefetcher-prepare() I/Prefetcher( 34): [0x175f8] cache below low water mark, filling cache. I/AwesomePlayer( 34): prefetcher is done preparing E/EMD - ( 293): Duration 0 D/AudioSink( 34): bufferCount (4) is too small and increased to 12 E/MediaPlayer( 293): error (1, -2147483648) E/MediaPlayer( 293): Error (1,-2147483648) In case someone wants to try to reproduce this. Download the file http://www.emusic.com/samples/m3u/song/12039152/23641389.m3u on the 3rd line you will find the address to a mp3 file that can be played back with MediaPlayer. I know that there is a known issue with streaming apps like pandora/ last.fm in 2.2. However, I thought those were related to AAC. Do you think my issue is connected - if so (or not so), is there anything I can do right now to resolve the issue? Or do I have to just wait for a new Android release?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Chilling news: Oracle sues Google over Android
On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 12:34 PM, Fabrizio Giudici My point is that we developers should not be much worried about that. I don't think that Oracle has any real intention to shut down Android, since it's a pot of money. You usually want to have a part of it, or be part of the game, not to destroy it. My principal concerns about Android are the same as one week ago, that is to make my app work at best. The problem it's not if Oracle wants to shutdown Android. The problem is how this will *affect* the android platform both acceptance and distribution. Android is new and it's making his way in the market. With this issue on the horizon, how will affect Android to be the choice of phone makers? Will you risk, as a phone maker, to continue supporting Android and distributing it in your phone without knowing what is happening behind the scenes? It's a PITA and I'm worried about it.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Application state when Home pressed
In what your problem concern, and if you want to assume that your Activity that goes to background when home key is pressed it's not killed, I think you can override the methods, onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstaceState(). When saving the state you save a homeKeyWasPressed value. You have KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME that I supposed is the home key: http://d.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html#KEYCODE_HOME Then, you manage your homeKeyWasPressed state, and you save it and restore it with the methods mentioned above.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Application state when Home pressed
Assuming that the update method makes an HTTP request, but doing it for each time onResume() is called is excessive, wouldn't the most obvious strategy be to cache the data? That is, when onResume() is called, check how long ago the last HTTP request was made. If it was too long ago, perform the HTTP request and save the results somewhere. If it was recently, just use the saved results. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Is anyone's active install % dropping like a rock lately?
I have a peculiar situation and I'm wondering if anyone is seeing the same thing. The facts: - I have a paid app in the top 100 of the market that's been active since April 2009. - It sells regularly about 80/day. - I push a new version to the market every two weeks with new features. - The average rating is slowly creeping upward over time and is above 4.5 - For the longest time, my active install % was about 70% and increasing. That trend stopped a few months ago. It is now 54% and dropping about one percent every week. During the last stats correction a few weeks ago, it went from 64% to 60% pretty much overnight. Sales have only gotten better over time, and I don't see enough canceled orders to justify the drop in %. I have a hard time believing people would pay money for an app only to turn around and uninstall it. My app is actually quite small and non- intrusive so I can imagine no real incentive for these uninstalls. I'm receiving no user feedback about anything unusual. Is anyone else seeing this kind of trend in their app? The only explanation I can think of is this: Could old, decommissioned devices from early last year be triggering uninstalls from the perspective of the stats? If this is the case, it seems like it would be bad for your overall market rating to have had an app in production for so long (if active install % is part of the algorithm Google uses to determine ranking). Or, people really are just buying my app and discarding it like a cheap trinket! Or maybe I'm placing too much importance on what might be a meaningless number!

[android-developers] Full screen activity
I'm writing an Activity that should take up the entire screen. I therefore call requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); at the beginning of onCreate(). But it doesn't work correctly. What happens is that the window title and notification bar are both visible for just a moment when the activity starts up. Then they slide off, leaving my activity with a messed up layout: a blank space the size of the notification bar gets left at the top of the screen, and a little bit of my layout gets cut off at the bottom of the screen. It appears that it's laid out the activity the size of the full screen, but then pushed it down a bit so part of it gets cut off. If I remove either one of the two lines above, everything works correctly and nothing gets cut off. But then I have a title bar or notification bar at the top of the screen, which I don't want.

[android-developers] Re: Emulator bug drawing lines on GLSurfaceView
Just off the top of my head, I don't think this is a bug per se. I think it is an artifact of the smoothing (anti-aliasing) under emulation conditions. That is, since the emulator is emulating a phone screen with its own resolution, aspect ratio and pixel size, on a computer screen with different resolution, aspect ratio and pixel size, the calculations it performs when deciding to include a given pixel are going to be different than on the phone. So for lines at certain angles, this could mean including more pixels, giving the appearance of a wider width.

That is, since the emulator is emulating a phone screen with its own resolution, aspect ratio and pixel size, on a computer screen with different resolution, aspect ratio and pixel size, the calculations it performs when deciding to include a given pixel are going to be different than on the phone. So for lines at certain angles, this could mean including more pixels, giving the appearance of a wider width.

Seehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/53002...@n03fora comparison of the lines drawn correctly (in JOGL) and incorrectly in the emulator. The code also draws correctly on a real device (G1) - looks just like the JOGL screen shot. I believe this is a bug. However, I'm not an OpenGL GURU. Hence I have posted a concise version of the code to demonstrate this problem at athttp://gist.github.com/523955andhttp://gist.github.com/523961. I hope I am proven wrong about a bug in the emulator, and can find a way to use the emulator for what I want to do. Specifically, line widths vary based on the end point locations of lines, under the following conditions (and maybe others): -ortho projection -line smoothing enabled Note: I started this thread as a continuation of threadhttp://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa... because I think it is of general interest and worth a new start. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Full screen activity
Instead of doing it during creation, declare it in your manifest's activity tag: android:theme=@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 6:55 PM, Peter Eastman peter.east...@gmail.comwrote: I'm writing an Activity that should take up the entire screen. I therefore call requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN); at the beginning of onCreate(). But it doesn't work correctly. What happens is that the window title and notification bar are both visible for just a moment when the activity starts up. Then they slide off, leaving my activity with a messed up layout: a blank space the size of the notification bar gets left at the top of the screen, and a little bit of my layout gets cut off at the bottom of the screen. It appears that it's laid out the activity the size of the full screen, but then pushed it down a bit so part of it gets cut off. If I remove either one of the two lines above, everything works correctly and nothing gets cut off. But then I have a title bar or notification bar at the top of the screen, which I don't want. I'm sure I must be missing something simple, but I've had no success figuring out what. Peter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
