[android-developers] Re: HTC Sense Dutch Date Formatting
You did nothing wrong. Htc seems to have shipped an unlocalized runtime. The only workaround is to use dateformat from android.text. sucks big time since there is no locale awareness in thhere. Moreover there is no way to test reliably either g On Aug 16, 2:34 am, Rob robkn...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am running into a small issue where DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG).format(d) returns a string like 14 mei 2010 in the Android emulator (API level 4 and up, set to dutch language), but returns 2010 5 14 on a device running HTC Sense, and I can not find a way to get this right.

That's something you can't derive from download activity. I think of a satisfied user as one who believes the app does what it is intended to do and does it better than any other app. Retention rate is not a good measure for this, IMHO. User retention rate is a measure of how useful the app is to the general public. Rating is a measure of the quality of the app. A user may be satisfied with an app but if its not as useful as their other apps then it will be uninstalled as soon as space runs out. I get the impression that the vast majority of downloads are from curious users. For a niche app which is high up the rankings, many users only want to download it to see why it's so higly ranked, They have no intention of using the app, so it will be uninstalled pretty quickly. For my main app, users 10 times more likely to rate pro version than free version, and 20 times more likely to leave a comment. Free app rated 4.5 (50% active installs), paid app rated 4.9 (70% active installs, 10% refunds). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I'm not recieving any error messages that the Uri is wrong or something like that, so I have no idea why it isn't working. I tried different calendar IDs and different event IDs but there was no effect either.

[android-developers] Question about APN for Browser and MMS
I'm very confusing about APN in android. I saw the apn type on APN setting could be 'default' for data connection and 'mms' for MMS. (Are there else values??) If the apn type value should be one of them, does it mean that it separated by only for MMS and for the other apps? Anyway, I heard that a single APN used for ATT with some exceptions for blackberry and so on. If ATT supports only one APN for all applications, then what is the apn type value?? Could it be blank? Let's assume there is a carrier support 2 APNs for 'MMS' and 'Another' applications. and there is a default APN for MMS already on my phone. If I add a new APN for 'Another' app with apn type 'default' and set it active profile from the APN list, then I cannot use MMS. right? Should I have to change to default APN to use MMS? Or Can I use MMS even if the profile for MMS APN is not active? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Oops, I crashed the phone
On Aug 16, 11:07 pm, Mark Gjøl bitflips...@gmail.com wrote: My drawing loop is strictly single threaded (fed data by several other threads, obviously) I didn't mean that you had multiple drawing threads; I don't either, really. But like you, I do have several threads, that feed the drawing thread. And then OpenGL has a thread of its own, maintained by the system. It's only a hunch on my part that it's a multithreading issue, really. In addition to the error message you posted, the other one I've been able to capture from logcat when the phone locks up is: W/SurfaceComposerClient(11811): lock_layer timed out (is the CPU pegged?) layer=0, lcblk=0x420a4020, state=000e (was 000e) Both messages talk about locking, which says multithreading to me. And I THINK my incidence decreased when I added all the thread-safe code. But it's so intermittent that I can't be sure, and in any case it apparently hasn't gone away completely. So that's not the whole issue. My app has been on the Market for almost a year now, and hasn't had these problems until now. I recently changed a couple of things, the most noteworthy being the ability to use 256x256 textures rather than 128x128. As the crashes are completely random, I cannot be completely certain if this is the problem, but I don't seem to be getting the crashes when sticking to 128x128 textures, so maybe I'm exceeding some secret limit? For the record, aside from some 6 UI buttons at 64x64, I'm using about 9 256x256 textures and a single 1024x1024 texture. I am aware that this can be optimized to use less textures, and that may well be the fix to stop the phone from crashing. Now THAT'S interesting. Like you, my app didn't used to do this, but I'm not entirely sure when it started. It might have been about the time I added a few more textures... mine mostly uses just a few big ones. It's always used two at 1024x512, but this may have started at the same time I added another object with a 512x256 texture. I might try downgrading that one and see how it goes. If you can get away with 128x128 textures, and that solves the problem for you, then I'd say do it. I know, the appearance won't be as good, but trust me... users are far more likely to downrate you for crashing their phone.

RE: [android-developers] Re: Chilling news: Oracle sues Google over Android
Wow--the thought that Larry Ellison would do something at the request of Ballmer and/or Jobs is just well, the acronym ROFLMAO just doesn't do it justice. Of course, the TRUTH that they don't want you to know is that the whole show worldwide is a deep conspiracy orchestrated by a secret cabal owned by the Girl Scouts, the Screen Actors' Guild and the Illuminati anyway, so In all honesty, I think the author of the article is right--Oracle wants Google to acknowledge that Oracle has ownership over Java and thus deserves to be cut in to the Android licensing deal somehow. It might even be that Oracle counsel felt that they had to take this step to prevent any other companies from doing something similar or even more infringing on the Java name/brand/IP. Remember, if you don't defend your ownership of IP, the courts look at that as an active surrender of that IP to the public domain.

[android-developers] Re: Dealing with password change on the server in a SyncAdapter
Argh, I'm so stupid! Only when I got through the Android source code did I noticed that it doesn't launch an Activity, but a Notification in the status bar. My mind is never set on the notification icons on the emulator when I'm developing, so that always passed by me. The intent is for launching the activity when clicking in the notification. Now it's working. On Aug 16, 2:20 pm, Kwisatz rui.mtd.ro...@gmail.com wrote: Hope you can help me with this, because I've tried EVERYTHING and the example in the Google sample code doesn't seem to work. Scenario: - An account is created in the AccountManager with a valid username and password. - A SyncAdapter is present to deal with server syncs, and successfully authenticates in the server using the stored credentials through the AccountManager. - The user decides to change the password on the server. So, the password in the Android AccountManager becomes invalid, and we have to request the user a new password when a synchronization fails with a 401 HTTP error from the server. According to Google, this can be done. Here's what I understood by reading the API docs: 1. In the SyncAdapter that extends AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter, when we request the AuthToken, we set the notifyAuthFailure to false: String authtoken = accountManager.blockingGetAuthToken(account, Constants.AUTHTOKEN_TYPE, false); 2. In the Authenticator that extends AbstractAccountAuthenticator, we return the following in the getAuthToken method: final Intent intent = new Intent(context, AuthenticatorActivity.class); intent.putExtra(AuthenticatorActivity.PARAM_USERNAME, account.name); intent.putExtra(AuthenticatorActivity.PARAM_AUTHTOKEN_TYPE, authTokenType); intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATOR_RESPONSE, response); final Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); bundle.putParcelable(AccountManager.KEY_INTENT, intent); return bundle; This should call the AuthenticatorActivity defined in the Intent, but it doesn't. It just invokes the getAuthToken method again. I've tried calling directly from the from the SyncAdapter the methods confirmCredentials and updateCredentials, but they will never launch the AuthenticatorActivity. What I'm I doing wrong?! How can we request the Authenticator to show an Activity to ask for a new password? In all examples that I've seen, they all assume that the credentials, once they are valid, then they will never change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] App builds up large Cache
Hi all. When I test my app, I notice that after some use it has built up a fairly large cache of several Mb. I see this when I go to Menu- Settings-Applications-Manage Applications. I don't notice this with other apps, so clearly I'm doing something wrong somewhere. What can cause this... what should I look for in my code that could eliminate this? Many thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Now, on my Motorola Droid, it works as expected; I can navigate around a virtual 3D Photo Gallery containing all my photos. I have a strange feeling the reason why they cannot view it is because (1) I am using native C++ to do all my rendering work, and (2) I may be having issues with their OpenGL Drivers. Now.

Re: [android-developers] Pros/cons of multiple activities in an app vs. one activity, multiple views
On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 10:38 PM, David enki1...@gmail.com wrote: Are there design guidelines to help decide if an application with multiple views should be designed with multiple activities or just one activity and control the back button itself. Not that I'm aware of, but the pattern seems to be one Activity per action your app does. This is not necessarily the same as one Activity per view, as one Activity could do one thing but have multiple views to show the data differently as Frank suggests. I've tried both. My most complex applications using one activity per screen. However, now that I'm successfully written an app with just one activity and handling the back button myself, I don't see any compelling reason to use multiple activities. The one activity application is much simpler and more straightforward. How many screens are you managing in your one-Activity app? I have to believe at some point managing the state of all your different views in one activity will grow to be unmanageable. What advantages of multiple activities am I missing? On top of the excellent points by Mark, there's the whole notion of separating responsibilities. I think each Activity as encapsulating some task your app can perform. If you can clearly define and separate these tasks, your code and app will be far more maintainable, reusable, and enhanceable. Throw everything into a monolithic Activity and you're looking at a maintenance nightmare for all but the simplest apps. - 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] Incidental files being pulled into the .apk
I found this a little strange, although maybe it is working as designed: I put an executable (.exe file) into my project's src\ directory (just temporarily to test something). When I refreshed the src\ directory in Eclipse, my project .apk file became much larger. When I removed the .exe file from the src\ directory and refreshed src \ in Eclipse, the .apk returned back to its smaller size. What happened?

Re: [android-developers] tea time
Elka, I doubt anyone is going to debug your application for you. Your first action with debugging crashes should be looking at logcat - Android's log messages. The log contains information about various system events, including crashes. A full stack trace is included for those (starting with the line that says Caused by:). To see logcat output, you can use Eclipse's DDMS perspective, or start adb logcat from the development computer's command line.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Disappearing Alarms
As far as I know, alarms work correctly on current versions of the platform; in early versions I believe there were some issues with wake locks not being held as they should, allowing the device to fall back asleep while the alarm is being processed. Note that the app side implementation is tricky -- though the alarm manager takes care of holding a wake lock the time it is dispatching the alarm, this only works when delivering to a receiver, and the app then must be careful to acquire its own wake lock while in the onReceive() code and continue holding a wake lock for the entire time it is coming up, displaying its UI, starting its service, posting its notification, continues running, etc. Definitely look at the current alarm clock code in the platform for an example, though each version tends to rely on newer APIs introduced in that version of the platform. If you are seeing a problem on one manufacturer's device but not on another manufacturer's but both are running the same version of the platform, this is probably a bug the manufacturer should be aware of.

If there is nothing that needs to be done, nobody is holding a wake lock, the application CPU stops running, and nothing happens. You want to be in this situation as much as possible for better battery life. Various things will wake up the CPU -- incoming network traffic, certain hardware buttons, scheduled alarms going off, etc -- at which point the kernel will internally hold a wake lock while it delivers that information to user space, and then user space must acquire its own wake lock to be able to continue running as it processes the event. - the first activity reported after this silence is the display being turned on manually If the alarm was supposed to happen in this silence period, you will find there's no Intent fired. The alarm service did no wake up the device. It's hard to say if the alarm did not wake up the device, or something in user space didn't keep it awake, because I don't think there is a log event for receiving an alarm and there definitely isn't one for sending a broadcast. However as of 2.1 adb shell dumpsys activity broadcasts will include the last N broadcasts that were sent... so you can plug in to your dev machine and collect that output and look for that broadcast and at the time stamp to determine when it was actually sent.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Alarm manager for multiple pending intent are not working.
That's really janky. I'd strongly recommend only posting one alarm, for the next event you have in time, and upon processing that post a new alarm for the following event. This is how most apps work. Your code here is really problematic in how it manages its alarms -- for example if you have an alarm scheduled for something, and the user changes that thing's time or deletes it, how do you remove the alarm from the alarm manager?

Retention is not a perfect measure, and neither is rating. That's why I said it's a great ingredient to add to the overall algorithm. Together, retention and rating can increase the confidence of an algorithm to rank better apps higher. Here's why retention in flawed: - It doesn't take into account a user's preference to commit to one app over another given that both apps perform the same function equally well. (There's no accounting for taste!) - It doesn't take into account users who have lost interest in the app over time, regardless of its overall quality and ability to satisfy. (e.g. games with no replay value, but a fantastic beginning to end experience) - It isn't able to understand a user's need to make space for new stuff. An uninstall may be regrettable but necessary but we have no idea if or how that factors into the overall ranking. And here's why ratings are flawed: - Ignorant users who fail to understand an app's purpose and use (e.g. sucks, uninstall - 1 star) - Withholding users who use ratings as a manipulation (e.g. More stars when you implement feature X) - Exuberant users who rate on first impression rather than deep understanding Very rarely do I see an honest rating for any app that says great app but not for me! I get the impression that the vast majority of downloads are from curious users. I only really get that impression for free apps and not paid apps. I'm mostly concerned about paid apps here. I believe that users who are forced to put their money on the line are more likely to actually read about and understand what it is they're about to authorize, especially if there is a free version. My free trial app is a dumping ground for ignorant comments and ratings and I've lost all interest in using it as a benchmark for anything useful.

The same way as if both emulator were running on the same machine? And why when I print the IP address of the emulator running on any of the nodes what's displayed is the loopback address 127.0.0.1 and NOT 10.0.2.15 which is the IP address that each emulator is assigned?

This has been going on for a long time, it is true, but it's gotten a lot worse since early August. I've been getting several emails a day about this (or similar Market problems) since then. As TreKing says, Google has shown very little interest in addressing Market issues, or in helping paying customers. They've got time to hold press conferences to publicize Chrome To Phone, but not to fix either the serious deficiencies or the outright problems in the Market. So we developers take the heat, because our email addresses are right there on the app page, and users expect we can solve these problems.

Re: [android-developers] Emulator networking
Loopback is always 127.0.0.1 - by definition. That is a TCP/IP thing, not an Android thing. As for connecting emulators on two systems - I think it's not easy to make it work, if at all possible, since the emulator is likely to NAT its network connections, and traversing a NAT in the inbound direction takes some effort. The usual rules for NAT should apply - emulator A would have to connect to the real IP address on machine B, and then you'd have to find a way to forward certain incoming connections on machine B to your application running inside emulator B. Having same addresses inside both emulators doesn't matter, since they are not visible from the outside. However, this setup is likely to work in the real world very poorly, or not at all (except over Wifi). Cellular operators can NAT their data networks, and then you won't be able to accept inbound socket connections. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 17.08.2010 23:00 пользователь kypriakos demet...@ece.neu.edu написал: Hi all, looking over the online guide for the emulator and after some googling i still have some questions on this - the guide focuses on emulator instances running on the same machine. However, I was trying to see how that maps for emulator running in a distributed fashion. If a node A (with IP address 129.10.52.x) in LAN A is running Emulator A (which will have the default IP address of 10.0.2.15:portA) wants to communicate with a emulator B (which will also have the default IP address of 10.0.2.15:portB) running on node B (with IP address 129.10.53.x) in LAN B how is the port forwarding setup in this case? The same way as if both emulator were running on the same machine? And why when I print the IP address of the emulator running on any of the nodes what's displayed is the loopback address 127.0.0.1 and NOT 10.0.2.15 which is the IP address that each emulator is assigned?

But now, with Xbox Live network and really serious and great developers game support, I can tell, Android with its crappy games is going DOWN on this field. Some of you have say, that real android gaming framework is not necessary. I think, in 3 - 5 months, M$'s WP7 will beat Android in gaming. This is the price for ignorance of your enemy potential. I'm afraid, Google will create gaming framework, when it will be just too late. Games ARE so important. Windows wins all battles, mainly becuase of games. Every osx/linux fan can tell you this.

[android-developers] make automatic login on application
Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a registration on my application activity with only the user having to insert his name and email. I want to add this values to my server database. Which is already working fine, The user inserts the name and email and android sends a http request to a php on my server and the php inserts this values in the database. The thing is.. I'd like this to happen only once and by this I mean if the user has registed with that cellphone the device would remember it and just go to another activity but keeping thoose 2 values available to use. Is this possible to do? Maybe my application access the device preferences or something like that.. or should I build besides a register, a login page for the user to login and make the validation on the server side? Anyone has any tutorial on this or someething to get me started? thank you . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Backward Compatibility of android:installLocation
I missed the other thread (I was on vacation). I think the current mechanism is dangerous because you may start using a higher API than your minSdkVersion without you knowing it. That's why we put the warning in the first place. I do agree though that the warning can be annoying. Also, when we put the warning in place there was little incentive for the developers to up the build target to use newer manifest attributes. It's trivial to remove the warning. Making it configurable would be better. Fixing the whole issue (by compiling the java code against a different target than the manifest) would be even better but harder, and it's on my list of things to do.

Re: [android-developers] make automatic login on application
I'd use SharedPreferences for that. You will also need to add a use case for the user uninstalling and then reinstalling the app. In that case, SharedPreferences would be empty, but your server DB would have a record of the prior registration. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Pros/cons of multiple activities in an app vs. one activity, multiple views
True, but how far does this one consideration take you while designing your application's UI? Surely you need to think about other consideration too when deciding whether to do the immediate task at hand with one activity, one view, or a mix of activities and views, such as one activity and several views, some with back keys some without... So that is why in addition to asking myself, where can I let the system do the navigation for me with the activity stack and back key? I ask myself (during UI design), how many views can I comfortably put on this one screen? and which views should spawn their own activities on user action? as well. Then we have all the non-UI considerations that Mark Murphy mentioned in his excellent reply.
