 If it wasn't very useful, then why is it still appearing on a stack

It's part of the framework implementation.  There are lots of things in the
internal framework impl that you'll see in stack traces.


 And what did you hope to achieve by hedging, saying may have been?
 It WAS included. I found it in the copy of the docs at
 http://www.androidjavadoc.com/1.0_r1_src/android/app/ActivityThread.html
 It is (was) in the android.app package. So if it is no longer
 supported, it should have been marked in newer SDK's as deprecated.
 Why wasn't it?


Oh...  what the heck is that?  That isn't official documentation.  It looks
like someone is generating Java docs from the raw source code, but not
taking into account the @hide annotations to hide things from the SDK docs
that aren't available to apps.  I wouldn't trust anything I see in that doc.


 In any case, I take it the modern way of managing the execution of the
 Activity's main thread is to use Handler and Looper, NOT use
 ActivityThread, leaving all other 'managing' of the thread to the
 system.


ActivityThread has *never* been an application API.  It doesn't have
anything intended for direct use by apps.  You also don't manage the main
app thread; the framework does that, with this and various other classes.
 You can just use the normal Handler facility to enqueue messages/runnables
on the main thread.

  This is not going to happen any time soon.
 
  In fact you can build a simulator version of Android that runs on
 Linux.
   Ultimately though this is not very useful for app development because it
  has low fidelity with the real platform -- it can't use separate
 processes

  Also being able to build a simulator that runs on Windows or Mac would be
  *extremely* challenging.  It is not too bad on a Linux desktop, because
  Android is based on Linux.  However making it run on another kernel would
  mean introducing a very significant compatibility layer across some large
  section of user space to allow it to run on these very different kernels.
 
  You'll notice that the iPhone simulator only runs on Mac.
 
  I don't think the significant effort to get a production quality Android
  simulator, that ends up only being able to run on Linux, would be
 anywhere
  near worth the effort.
 
  Also, as has been pointed out, you should only need to boot the emulator
  once.  After that you keep it running and just reinstall your app on
 it...
   just like working with a device.

[android-developers] Re: J2ME to Android

2010-08-27 Thread Indicator Veritatis

Since Android does not include the javax.microedition package, one
should not expect an exact equivalent. But we do have the

are much better than anything in javax.microedition!

One should still expect to use a very little bit from java.net, e.g.
the Url and Uri classes.

Hi Praveen,

   Assume there are 3 activities A, B and C.
   A is the 1st one. A starts B and B starts C. Usually when we click
back button from C activity it will go to B. But u want the control to
go to activity A, rite

After starting the activity C from B, you can finish the activity B.
So that A will be there on the top of C in the stack. So A will get
called when u click back from C.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with interecepting outgoing calls on HTC Desire

As it seems the HTC Desire (2.2) responds to setResultData(null)
wich will stop the out dial. Then you can place a new intent
(Action.CALL) to call the new number.
Not so nice workaround, but as a user you hardly notice it.

   As you can see, it is a very simple sample, but it's not working on

   there are other devices with this bug.

   The app replaces each called number by 01232456789. Don't forget to
   uninstall the application once done ;)

   So I'm searching people for testing this little app :

   - People who haveHTC2.2 device
   - People who have other devices that run 2.2 android version.

   Maybe someone has already solved this problem?

[android-developers] Return value of 0 from getWallpaperDesiredMinimumWidth/Height()

2010-08-27 Thread String

Hi all,

Been chasing this bug for the last couple of days with a helpful user
who owns a Garminfone. The app in question includes wallpapers; on
compliant 2.1+ devices it uses live wallpaper, but for others (like
the Garminfone, which is stuck on 1.6), it just uses
Context.setWallpaper(). In order to generate a wallpaper bitmap of the
correct size, I first call Context.getWallpaperDesiredMinimumWidth()
and ...Height(). This has worked fine on every other handset I know
of, but on the Garminfone, these functions apparently return 0.

So, a few questions for the group...

First, has anyone run across this before, on any handset? If so, any
tips? I doubt that there's anything I'm doing wrong - these functions
are dead simple - but anything's possible, of course.

Second, any good ideas for a workaround? I tried making a reasonable
guess like this:

final DisplayMetrics dm = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
if ((wallWidth = 0) || (wallHeight = 0)) {  // these are the values
returned from getDesired...
wallHeight = Math.max(dm.widthPixels, dm.heightPixels);
wallWidth  = Math.min(dm.widthPixels, dm.heightPixels) * 2;
}

This would work on virtually any other handset known to man. But
unfortunately, the Garmin user reported that the resulting wallpaper
was the wrong aspect ratio; from his description, I'm thinking that it
shouldn't have the * 2. I'm not going to hardcode THAT in, however.

Finally, does anyone know how to go about getting something added to
the Compatibility Test Suite? It strikes me that this is a flaw in the
basic Garminfone SDK implementation. I looked through the CDD, but the
only mentions of wallpaper in there are about the newer, live ones. So
this is probably another test case that should be added to the CTS
itself.

Thanks,

String

 Google account (which has the Developer account). The other (Hero
 running 2.1-update1) is a test account I use (no developer account).

 When I use the N1, I always get the response specifed in my Dev
 Console settings.
 When I use the Hero, I always get ERROR_NOT_MARKET_MANAGED.

 It appears the logic goes something like this for non-Market
 (published or draft) apps:

 Check the user has a Dev account.
 If so, use the response set there.
 If not, return ERROR_NOT_MARKET_MANAGED.

 Notice, its the setting for the user, not the dev (because theMarket
 does not know who the dev is), that is used.

 Anyone confirm this?

  If an app is published (or has been published then unpublished), then
  the response
  is driven by the dev console settings for the developer/testers, and purely
  by purchase history for everyone else.

   If the app is published (or draft) then the response is driven primarily

   My understanding from the server team is that uploading a draft version 
   is
   supposed to be sufficient to avoid getting ERROR_NOT_MARKET_MANAGED. (In 
   the
   case of existing applications, you'll also need to increment your version
   code.)

   The other way you'll avoid this is precisely as Mark mentioned. If we
   don't find the application, we check to see if the current user has a
   developer account, and will send a test response (if one is set) using 
   the
   user's RSA keypair.

   Can you clarify what the licensing server returns if the App is not in

[android-developers] How can I disable an item of ListView?

2010-08-27 Thread optimusgeek

When I have a list view and there are 3 items which can choose by
user, I wanna show only choosable items to user because of some
reason. but I could not find any method in ListView or ArrayAdapter
class. Is there a solution?


protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
..
menuList = new ArrayListString();
menuList.add(getResources().getText(R.string.apple).toString());
menuList.add(getResources().getText(R.string.banana).toString());
menuList.add(getResources().getText(R.string.grape).toString());

ArrayAdapterString adapter;
adapter = new ArrayAdapterString(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, menuList);

ListView list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.menuList);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
list.setOnItemClickListener(mItemClickListener);

}

for example, I wanna disable the second 'banana' item.
There are what I want exactly on the emulator, in sub menus of
Settings. and I looked at source of settings.
Almost settings menu are implemented with PreferenceActivity
It doesn't look like my code. In there, I found a method like below.
  Preference btSettings = findPreference(KEY_BT_SETTINGS);
  btSettings.setEnabled(false);

I think that's what I want. but Is there a solution based on my code?
rather than using PreferenceActivity.

I think you are hitting a capacity limit of the android and should

application
4. Is there any lead device assigned by Android for a given SDK.
5. I intend to sign and publish my application so can you please tell
me is there any Certification criteria which i have to follow

Please help me on this issue.

It depends on your target OS. If you got for 1.5-2.2 then one device may
not be enough as you may need at least one for each OS version. However
if you want just one, I'd go for any with Android 1.6 - it's quite popular OS
yet and sometimes oddly buggy so apps can behave differently on simulator
(they work) and on real devices (crashes).

[android-developers] Re: Negative comment causing drop in sales

2010-08-27 Thread nation-x

I suspect that alot of comments... especially on free apps are
competitors... not just trolls. I have had people post comments that
were entirely untrue about my apps before... in addition, you can
never underestimate the stupidity of the average user. I have had some
negative comments because the idiot couldn't figure out that there was
a menu button on his phone... so they didn't know how to access the
features of the app. Another thing that is annoying is this app does
not look appealing... what kind of comment is that and why would
anyone take the time to make such a comment?

 I'll have someone try this next time I get an email and report back.


OK, so had two more emails yesterday and told them to clear their data by
going through the manage applications screen. I made no mention of
uninstalling and re-installing. One got back to me last night and confirmed
that this worked for her. I did not hear back from the other, which I assume
means she's happy and it worked for her as well.

So, apparently a complete uninstall is not necessary - there's something
wrong in the data. So now the question is what's going wrong in the app data
that would cause the app code to return null pointers on stuff that's not
relying on app data?

Side-note, after several more reports in the dev console and comments about
force close issues, I decided to put out another update instructing people
to uninstall - reinstall. This was, of course, just 10 minutes before the
nice lady got back to me and let me know clearing data worked.

[android-developers] Re: JDOM in Android 2.1 or earlier

2010-08-27 Thread gcstang

Just my 2 cents but JDOM is inherently slower than other XML
processors and on a mobile platform that's usually not what you want,
you should use SAX or something that's built into the API (if
possible).

I know using SAX and some other methods are a bit more work however if
you're parsing on a mobile platform your users will appreciate it.

[android-developers] Re: Creating a JTree-like widget for Android?

2010-08-27 Thread FractalBob

Thanks for the pointer. It seems the objection to a JTree like view is
that you'd run out of space on a small screen, but that's not valid,
since you could wrap the tree in a scrollview.

I guess I'll have to abandon my project until a tree view of some kind
makes it to Android, as I don't want to use menus as suggested in the
link; it would be too klunky, IMO.

[android-developers] Re: Paid vs Free, My Early Experience

2010-08-27 Thread Tomáš Hubálek

Mark, you are definitely right. There are few things that Google
should do better to help us market out products:

- allow to buy and sell in majority of the world
- make useful android market web site with short app url that we could
advertise. I really don't think that offer APK on my website is good
idea even if it is free.
- improve payment and licensing
- I would like to make some contests, but how to do discount
cupons or free licenses on current market?
- introduce more payment methods - in app purchase, selective
prices for different users/regions

I believe that Android is awesome from technical point of view. But
Google should hire somebody from Apple into Marketing team as current
Android Marketing team is even not able to copy what is usual in
Apple's world for years.

Just my 2 cents
Tom

Every seller of products and services on planet Earth has access to

Could you elaborate, especially on the free ones? I have no marketing
budget.

Step #1: Build a Web site that does a decent job of explaining what
your app does, probably in more than 325 characters

Step #2: Add easy ways to get from the Web site to your app:

-- market: URL for those browsing on their phone
-- QR code for the market: URL for those knowing about Barcode Scanner
or Google Goggles
-- a good search term for which you'll come up #1 (if not be the only
entry) when they search for you on the Market
-- Chrome2Phone direct install
-- download the APK from your site (if it's free, or you have a free
version they can try)
-- links to alternative market(s) you are in, for those who have
Market-less devices

Step #3: Steer people to the Web site, using the marketing tools that
have been discussed, ad nauseum, for the past decade-plus, in Web
sites, books, magazines, etc.

In your case, I'd start with an email sig. Then, set up a blog, or be
useful with your Twitter account, or do something else to keep your
name out there. Find where your customers usually visit online and
figure out how your links can get there (e.g., sigs in discussion
board posts, somebody else blogs a review of your app, run a contest).
Add value wherever you can, so that your marketing isn't purely seen
as self-serving. Do SEO work on the Web site so that you climb
steadily in the search rankings for likely search terms. And so on.

There are many, many books available for learning how to market
yourself online. Pick one that is relatively new (I wouldn't go older
than 2007), since the techniques change. Be prepared to translate any
concrete advice those books offer into other technologies that may
have arrived since the book came out (e.g., Google Buzz). Understand
that those books aren't specifically written for Android developers,
and so some percentage of the techniques that they describe aren't
necessarily relevant for you. Subscribe to the blogs or Twitter feeds
of people with great insight (e.g., I follow Seth Godin). Continuously
monitor other successful Android apps and reverse-engineer how they're
driving their traffic. And so on.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with interecepting outgoing calls on HTC Desire

2010-08-27 Thread Denis Souza

Just had a report a few days ago from a user on HTC Desire (2.2) that
says a previous version of my app worked fine. This is confirmed since
I sent him a previous version and it worked. It might be just this one
case since I've had another user say it didn't work with the same
previous version.

I'm trying to find out exactly which change made the difference (both
versions do essentially the same thing with subtle differences) so I
sent him a changed version to test it. If I find out anything I'll
post it here, but don't hold your breath.. he's not very responsive.

The workaround placing a new Intent seems reasonable in these cases. I
think I'll add an option in my app for people having this issue though
it's awful that I even have to think about doing that. One would think
a company like HTC would test the whole API before releasing a new ROM
(after all they sure take their time to do it).

 As it seems the HTC Desire (2.2) responds to setResultData(null)

Hello,

I'm having troubles with intercepting outgoing calls. In fact, it
works perfectly on emulator 2.1 and 2.2, and was running also
perfectly on myHTCDesirewhen i was in 2.1 version.

Here is some source code :

package com.testcallcatch.test;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

public class OutgoingCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override

        Log.d(LOOK HERE, - + getResultData());
        setResultData(0123456789);
        Log.d(LOOK HERE, Setting to 0123456789);
    }

}

And the manifest :

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
        package=com.testcallcatch.test android:versionCode=1
        android:versionName=1.0
        application android:icon=@drawable/icon 
android:label=@string/
app_name

                activity android:name=.TestCallCatch 
android:label=@string/
app_name
                        intent-filter
                                action 
android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
                                category 
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /
                        /intent-filter
                /activity

                receiver android:name=.OutgoingCallReceiver
                        intent-filter android:priority=2147483646
                                action 
android:name=android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL /
                        /intent-filter
                /receiver
        /application

        uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=7 /

        uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS/uses-
permission
/manifest

As you can see, it is a very simple sample, but it's not working on
   HTCDesireunder 2.2 . I suspect this comes fromHTC, but I wonder if
there are other devices with this bug.

The app replaces each called number by 01232456789. Don't forget to
uninstall the application once done ;)

So I'm searching people for testing this little app :

- People who haveHTC2.2 device
- People who have other devices that run 2.2 android version.

Maybe someone has already solved this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Nicolas

[android-developers] Sysinfo CPU load in DDMS not working with 2.2 devices?

After updating to Froyo on a Nexus One, the CPU load pie
chart graph is no longer displayed when connected with the
standalone DDMS.  It still shows up for an AVD with 2.1,
however.

Is there some setting, something I can turn on/off on the
N1 so that DDMS can display its CPU load again? Is this
a known change/issue going from 2.1 to 2.2?

This is with the latest SDK (android-8 platform) running
under Vista 64bit.

Anybody have any ideas?

A few questions:

* Put some context around doubled. From 1 to 2, 100 to 200, 1,000 to 2,000?
* How many cancels are in these numbers? I've got to believe that with a
less informative, and more catchy message, people know less about what
they're buying and end up canceling when they find out it's not what they
expect.
* It would be interesting to see the before and after descriptions you're

 It seems the objection to a JTree like view is that you'd run out of space
 on a small screen, but that's not valid,
 since you could wrap the tree in a scrollview.


That's one objection. The other problem is that the size of the items in the
list would either have to be very small to accommodate the whole list, or,
if you wrap it in a scroll view, require scrolling in every direction just
to navigate the thing as sub-nodes expand.

The benefit of a JTree type control is it presents a simplified overview of
a complex hierarchy. On a mobile platform, you mostly lose that simplified
overview and it can result in more complexity and confusion.


 I guess I'll have to abandon my project until a tree view of some
 kind makes it to Android, as I don't want to use menus as suggested in
 the link;


If you're abandoning your project because one type of control is not
available, your project was not worth doing to begin with.

If you're going to wait until it makes it to Android, you're probably going
to waiting quite a long time.

If you think this type of control would actually be usable / preferable for
you project, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from writing your own
custom view and adapter that meets your needs.

it would be too klunky, IMO.


No more so than trying to navigate an entire tree on a single screen with
the size, scrolling, and selection issues it would present.

Good luck with your project, if you decide to continue it.

[android-developers] Changing from one dev machine to another, keystore question

To this point, I've been doing development on multiple machines but always
packaging for deployment on the same machine.  If I want to package for
deployment on another machine, will simply copying the keystore file to the
new machine do the trick?  Anything else I need to be concerned about when
doing this?

[android-developers] Unsuccessful install of successful built apk

2010-08-27 Thread Rutton

Hello,
I have a problem with installing an apk (which includes jni libs) on
the simulator. The apk is built successfully, but running as Android
Application from within eclipse and executing adb install -r path/to/
apk runs also successful, but the app doesn't show up on the app-
screen in the simulator.
The following is the logcat during the install of the app. I don't see
much evidence that there is something wrong with the apk, so I don't
know whats going on there. Can someone help me with this? Are there
more debugging options for adb install? Or what can I do to provide
more info to solve the problem? Thank you.

Cheers,
Rutton.

 What about this?

Well, I don't do any Voice Recognition.
Without posting the code here, I just use an Activity, a GLSurfaceView
(with Renderer) and lots ;-) of jni drawing stuff. The jni-lib just
uses the stuff provided by the ndk.
And the AndroidManifest.xml is very basic:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

So, the question is, where is this RecognitionManagerService related
to?

[android-developers] Error when adding a library project

2010-08-27 Thread Bret Foreman

I've moved some of my common code into a library project so that
multiple projects can access it. I created an empty project, set it to
be a library in the properties screen, then imported some classes.

Next, I created a new (non library) project and added my new library
project to it. Immediately upon rebuild, I get the following error:

ERROR: Unknown option '--auto-add-overlay'

What does this mean?

 Why not just testing yourself? Private key is just what you need to do so,
 so if you copy keystore to other machine and sign with it then you just

[android-developers] Re: getPreviewSize() bad result on Froyo emulator

2010-08-27 Thread als

Yesterday I tried that buffered methods in a real device (HTC Desire)
and it didn't work either. Now I'm wondering if I use it the wrong
way. My code is this:

Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();
mPixelFormat = PixelFormat.YCbCr_420_SP;
params.setPreviewFormat(mPixelFormat);
mCamera.setParameters(params);

Size previewSize = mCamera.getParameters().getPreviewSize();
int bytesPerPixel = ImageFormat.getBitsPerPixel(mPixelFormat);
int bufferSize = Math.round(bytesPerPixel/8.0f * previewSize.height *
previewSize.width);
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
mCamera.addCallbackBuffer(buffer);

Is that code ok? Again, if I hardcode the buffer size (in the Desire
case 800*480*2) it works well. could anyone make that methods work?

Thanks

Thanks for the answer. I agree JDOM is slower and uses lot more memory
than a SAX parser, but we already have the implementation in JDOM, and
we wanted to reuse it, at least for the moment. Reuse is allways
faster and in software development you never have enough time. If we
finish the project soon we'll think about develop another parser.

By the way, in the first link i wrote (

  I am slowly deciding that shared code is not the best approach in this

  sharing. For one thing resources are not packed in libraries, but
  references (R.whatever) must exist so as not to create errors. This
  can be designed around, but the effort and headache is probably worse

  What are you thoughts on the topic?  My experience seems typical,

I'm really curious to get more context around that.  Frankly, I'm interested
and if I can get more info I might give it a shot myself.

 A one week experiment for one app is not, statistically speaking,

 An interesting follow up to this experiment would be to change your

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android bitmap allocation weirdness

2010-08-27 Thread Tom Gibara

I'd categorize it as a consequence of present VM implementation; something
that could be improved rather than something that needs to be fixed (note
that no one has actually corroborated whether my understanding of this
memory allocation is correct).

Whether it's possible to improve the current memory allocation model without
trading off too many of its benefits is a question for the engineers
responsible, and whether this is something that is worth spending
development time on is another question again. I don't know how the present
situation is regarded by the Android engineers.

For my part, I don't see it as a very high priority. I try to write
applications that stay comfortably below their maximum memory allocation, so
I don't generally find it a cause of errors in my applications. Naturally
there are exceptions, applications that allocate data structures based on
external data can't easily avoid memory spikes when processing large inputs.
When a flat memory profile isn't attainable, pre-allocating your bitmaps may
be the only workaround, though this may have the consequence of making
out-of-memory conditions more frequent and not less.

As ever, it depends on the application.

Tom.

 I read the thread you posted and I agree that this is probably the

 but sometimes that's necessary for some of the applications I'm
 writing.

[android-developers] Re: String being truncated when its long

My knowledge of the HTTP protocol is poor to begin with, and my bad
memory doesn't improve it, but I vaguely recall that a single HTTP
transfer is limited to 5000-odd characters (the precise number being
somewhat variable) by the packet sizes used in the network.  But
normally the software used on each end should hide this sensitivity so
that you can deal in complete data streams up to some significantly
larger limit.

It could be that something in your config is causing this transfer
size to be exposed.  It's also possible that your coding style is
opening you up to being sensitive to data stream values.  In
particular, null may be being returned from readLine at the end of the
block, even though there is more data in the transmission.  (I don't
know that such is possible -- just speculating.)

Finally, it's possible that the failure is occurring on the
transmission end, perhaps due to an EOF character embedded in the
source data or some such.

Re: [android-developers] Is there a way to request permissions from a user as you need them?

No it must be done at install time.  Honestly, this is better than prompting
the user all over the place when they are actually trying to do some other
task -- they are more likely to look at permissions (and as a whole) when
the task at hand is installing an app.

You can't intercept URIs without going through a system UI where the user
decides what to do.  Also at that point the task they are doing is look at
this thing I selected, so the decision they are making (pick which will
show the thing they are wanting to look at) is relevant to their task at
hand.

[android-developers] Re: getting a java.lang.VerifyError

 VerifyError is produced for one of two reasons:

1) The class file being read contains stuff that is just plain illegal/
not recognized by the VM.  This could be due to compiler error,
malicious modification, garbling in transmission, or the class file
being a later version than the VM recognizes.

2) The external APIs that the class file references are somehow
different from those the class file was originally compiled against.
Eg, the SomeExernalClass.getMyFruit method that used to return a Peach
object is now returning a Kumquat.

2010-08-27 Thread Brad Gies



Well.. that's good to hear... but of course... one week's sales on one 
app is not proof...


BUT... there is a wealth of proof of the concept... Hundreds of years of 
marketing almost every type of product ever made :).


I have done quite a bit of research into marketing over the years, and 
there is no question it works.. and there are exceptions, but very few 
exceptions. From working with other developers, I've also learned that 
most developers believe their product is one of those exceptions :). 
They just can't get the concept because it's not how their brain works.


 You might want to keep quiet on your results :). After all, let the 
other developers think like developers, and your app can have the sales 
:). Good marketing wins out over good technology almost every time... of 
course.. if you have both.. you're unbeatable :).


I will be honest though... and the feature list would be more likely to 
sell it to me :). But then, I am a developer, and I think like a 
developer. So, I've learned (and accepted) that you can't ignore the 
fact that most of the people on the planet think differently than I do.


Anyway.. great to hear, and good luck.

Brad.

Of course, note that Android has its own version of Base64OutputSteam

Android.

I'm trying to remember the line from that old Cagney movie --
something like I don't know which is more merciful -- to ignore him

There is no remote DB paradigm in Android.  Rather, you are
encouraged to have the server end provide a REST interface with
which you can interact.

He removed the feature list and compared his product with top-of-the-

And of course he used the try it risk-free 24 hours refund argument :)

Re: [android-developers] Stopping fling in Gallery

2010-08-27 Thread Agus

Hi,

You can abort fling effect by extending the Gallery class and
overriding the onFling method,
Inside the method, dont call the super method, just return true;

 Hi everyone,

 I'd like to handle a fling gesture in Gallery and stop the animation
 when the next image is fully displayed on screen. I've successfully
 captured the fling gesture in my GestureListener.

 However when I try to call mGallery.clearAnimation() but it doesn't
 stop the fling. I've looked at the Gallery.java source and it would be
 great to have access to the mScroller to tell it to abort the
 animation.

 The only luck I've had so far is to dispatch two MotionEvents to the
 Gallery view: a quick TouchDown and TouchUp which stops the animation.
 There must be a better way :) I'd appreciate your help!

 Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Licensing server, app cracked.

2010-08-27 Thread sblantipodi

no news on the imminent guide where is this guide?

On Aug 26, 5:37 pm, sblantipodi perini.dav...@dpsoftware.org wrote:
 Is this the guide you are talking about?
 To ensure the security of your application, particularly for a paid
 application that uses licensing and/or custom constraints and
 protections, it's very important to obfuscate your application code.
 Properly obfuscating your code makes it more difficult for a malicious
 user to decompile the application's bytecode, modify it — such as by
 removing the license check — and then recompile it.

 Several obfuscator programs are available for Android applications,
 including ProGuard, which also offers code-optimization features. The
 use of ProGuard or a similar program to obfuscate your code is
 strongly recommended for all applications that use Android Market
 Licensing. 

 Is this a guide?

but still few in comparison to the total install base, so there's definitely
something they're doing that's triggering the problem.

I would think the update process would kill the app if it's running, but
maybe not.

Also, got confirmation from the second person that clearing the data solved
the problem.
