Re: [android-developers] Re: need help with softkeyboard development
An IME is essentially just a regular UI that is running as an InputMethodService, which makes calls on InputConnection to do whatever editing operations it wants. If you are stuck on changing the keyboard UI to some other kind of UI, that isn't really anything specific to writing an IME but just standard android UI -- look at the documentation on View etc to see how to write UI. You can simply make a single View that you set as your UI, and do all your drawing in onDraw() and receive touch events in onTouchEvent(). Then based on whatever you do for that do calls on InputConnection as the soft keyboard sample shows.

Re: [android-developers] How to launch the app from the Web page?
Please don't use a scheme unless it is one that you have registered. Schemes are global to the universe, and since you will be putting this out in the universe via your web page you want to follow the rules for them. Another approach you can take is to just create an Intent that you want to have launched, and print the result of Intent.toUri() to get the string to use in your link. (This should be an intent: URI.) Then you probably want to just make your own action following the standard naming conventions which that Intent will use. You can even use Intent.setPackage() to make sure that only your app can be launched from the link, if you want. (Do note you can't use Intent.setComponent() for this for security reasons.)

Re: [android-developers] Possible to display a string or button on top a listview?
You can't use wrap_content with a list view, because that will cause it to expand to whatever size its full contents are. If you want the list view to expand to fill all space except the text views above and below, use android:layout_height=0px and android:layout_weight=1 on it.

[android-developers] Re: Can android support more than one sdcard?
Hi Dianne, Thank you for confirming my expectations. I hope your colleagues will consider device enumeration as being important for limiting future fragmentation of a supposedly open platform and for encouraging new application areas, going well beyond nice. Regards On Sep 12, 12:40 am, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Well you are totally missing my point. Of course it would be *nice* to support an arbitrary number of everything. To actually ship a product on time, though, you probably aren't going to be able to do so. The SD card is an especially good case of this, because it's not just a matter of adding an API -- you also need to figure out the whole UX around this, which is fairly non-trivial. Anyway, done with this thread. On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 1:51 AM, blindfold seeingwithso...@gmail.comwrote: A marketing or engineering department that can't accept limitations is an organization that will never ship a product. When you are a research department you aim to develop new products rather than shorten time to market. When even the basic building blocks are already highly restrictive it becomes much harder to innovate. Although this thread is mostly about having a second SD card, your comments seem to indicate a general attitude towards and lack of interest in generalized API support for enumerating peripherals: I'll only support one camera! Okay. Not OK! If one wants to compete on the market one has to look at competitors that already sport two cameras, such as a front-facing camera. Think many Nokia phones, and Apple's iPhone 4G. (I added second camera support to my own Nokia Java MIDlet app back in 2006.) Do you want every Android phone manufacturer to invent and develop their own proprietary Android API extensions even to just keep up with existing functionality elsewhere? You encourage fragmentation! Also, please look across platform boundaries as well as look at broadening the scope towards gaming devices. What Microsoft is doing with Kinect (formerly Natal) involves either a stereo camera or a time- of-flight camera.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Testing C2DM service on Android 2.2 emulator
Uh disregard that I didn't see the next bit:
To develop and test on the Android Emulator, you need to download the Android
2.2 version of the Google APIs Add-On into your SDK using the Android SDK and
AVD Manager. Specifically, you need to download the component named Google
APIs by Google Inc, Android API 8. Then, you need to set up an AVD that uses
that system image.

[android-developers] Getting platform files from command line
Hi Everyone, I apologize if I'm in the wrong place, and I apologize if you've already seen this message, but to the best of my knowledge this message never made it through (since I was a brand new user at the time) I can't figure out how to get the platform files for development, without running 'android' and starting the GUI. I want to avoid running GUI applications on my dev server, since it's headless and I don't want to forward X particularly. I can't imagine that it does anything more than figure out your platform, pull down a tarball and unpack it, surely this doesn't necessitate a gui, does anyone know how I can get the platform files without it?

Do you want every Android phone manufacturer to invent and develop their own proprietary Android API extensions even to just keep up with existing functionality elsewhere? You encourage fragmentation! Also, please look across platform boundaries as well as look at broadening the scope towards gaming devices. What Microsoft is doing with Kinect (formerly Natal) involves either a stereo camera or a time- of-flight camera.

Re: [android-developers] Re: LocationManager requestLocationUpdates and pending intents
Another option could be periodically starting a service with an alarm, try to get the location and then shut down the location updates. In this way I would be pretty sure the radio is off when I don't need location updates. Right. Creating a variation on WakefulIntentService that supports this pattern is one of the 18,000 items on my to-do list. :-) I bring up this thread again, because I am trying to implement this solution, but I am having some issues. I think a classic service would be more suitable than an IntentService for this purpouse. The intent service, and therefore your wakeful one, does its job and then dies after the onHandleIntent is called. If you implement a locationlistener, you'll never know (or, you can't predict) when you will get the first location update (which is also the one you need, at least until the next alarm triggering), so you need something that stays alive until it gets the first fix. However, also in this situation, I can start the service and make it kill himself where the location is found (or after a reasonable amount of time). I gave also a look at the code of MyTracks, and they just keep the locationlistener still alive for all the duration of the recording period. It would be a lot easier if the radio is turned on only during the location updates, but looking at android code, it seems that GpsLocationProvider is just enabled (and then I suppose the radio is turned on).

When you don't set minSdkVersion/targetSdkVersion, it is considered to be 1 by default.

I imagine that they will add support for multiple forms of external storage as manufacturers request it (or, perhaps, where manufacturers contribute back code). As Ms. Hackborn indicated, an API for things like this is the tip of the iceberg. It's not also terribly relevant until the rest of the iceberg exists, and there's no sense in them spending time trying to design an API until they know what that API is going to need to contain. With respect to future fragmentation, the pattern for handling this is rather obvious. Let's take external storage: -- The zero-parameter getExternalStorageDirectory() and kin do what they do today, reporting on the default external storage -- New versions of the same methods are added to Environment that take some sort of identifier as a parameter, with some sort of getExternalStorageDevices() method to list them However, there are plenty of unknowns: what the identifier is (string or more complex object), what getExternalStorageDevices() returns (ArrayList or some Environment.DeviceRoster object), etc. Those details are impractical to design ahead of the full implementation. So they didn't try. This is not terribly surprising -- in fact, it would have been more surprising had they spent a lot of time on it and skipped other functionality as a result. I am not aware of any compatible Android devices with multiple forms of external storage back in, say, January. There were some (e.g., ARCHOS 5 Android tablet) that had multiple forms of external storage, but they were not in compliance with the compatibility definition in other areas. Hence, when Android 2.2 was being baked, particularly from the standpoint of low-level system stuff like external storage, there may have been no compelling demands from manufacturers at the time, so they focused on other areas. A fine example is Camera.Parameters. While that class existed from the outset, a lot of capabilities were added in 2.0 (focus modes, flash modes, etc.). Those were added to the SDK in response to device manufacturers stepping up to the plate and wanting to support more sophisticated cameras and wanting to put that sophistication in the hands of developers. The core Android team *could* have tried designing all of that back in Android 1.0, but they may well have gotten it wrong, and they would have had to sacrifice some other piece of functionality to pay for the engineering time. Instead, they waited. You have made it quite clear now that you have little interest in that or in adding device enumeration for other device classes.

In the case of features like dual sd cards, dual cameras, dual sims, etc which already exist on shipping smarthpones of other flavors, its a safe bet that they will show up on an android device sooner or later. The android architects can provide leadership on how to handle them - or they can suffer the fragmentation of their platform resulting from different manufacturers handling the same thing in different incompatible ways. The galaxy is a good example of this - arguably its implementation shouldn't have passed compatability, as it requires developers to resort to special casing or discouraged examination of underlying linuxisms (/proc/mounts or using stat() to decide if get external storage has given you a mount point or a container of mount points) I would also point out that developers shouldn't be blindly using fixed paths within external storage for file creation, as there's no arbiter of that namespace to avoid collision with othe apps files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Can android support more than one sdcard?
Additionally, I think the galaxy's hardware design makes more sense if viewed not as having two sd cards, but rather as product designers trying to combine the best of both large fixed storage ala iphone or pre with user price point scalable removable storage ala other android devices, blackberry, and traditional smartphones. I don't know if the fixed volume is a captive sdcard or a chip soldered to the motherboard, but it may not matter to anyone but samsungs engineers and procurement people. What presumably matters to users is that they don't have to buy a card, but they can - especially if storage prices fall during the life of the phone or if they want to swap in huge amounts of content while travelling without a laptop. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Can android support more than one sdcard?
Hi Mark, I appreciate your thoughtful comments. Some things are fairly trivial at API level, but hard at implementation level. Sometimes it is also at API level not immediately clear which choices are most elegant and future proof. I also realize that the Android team has been exceedingly busy first realizing the core of what is currently needed on most mobile devices, for the time being skipping certain generalized features that have been available for quite some time on other popular platforms, and that do have merit beyond the time to market consideration. Ms. Hackborn's emotional and rather rude response cut this discussion short, despite concrete examples of existing implementations from Samsung as mentioned by Kostya and Indicator. For cameras there exists the two-camera HTC Evo 4G, and outside Android there exist two-camera phones from Nokia (I even have an old Nokia 6680 with two cameras) and from Apple (iPhone 4G). Therefore I felt that I am not just sketching some hypothetical situation that awaits concrete examples of devices that are being sold by the millions. -- New versions of the same methods are added to Environment that take some sort of identifier as a parameter, with some sort of getExternalStorageDevices() method to list them Yes, I am aware of the organic growth option, but the zero-parameter getExternalStorageDirectory() would have been redundant if support for multiple devices had been foreseen and the parametrized method simply limited in value range by letting a getExternalStorageCount() return 1 (or zero) until manufacturers support higher counts. The third-party developer can then write code today that supports higher counts without having to wait for a future version of Android that specifies how getExternalStorageDirectory() gets an additional companion method or overloads one of the parameters. For zero risk with supporting a second camera one could have looked at how Nokia supports additional cameras in Java ME using the capture:// locator, since the existing market has long given feedback on any issues with that (such that one can at the same time avoid making the same mistakes). It largely boils down to the question what should come first, a general future-proof API or an actual implementation on a popular device that needs an existing API to be generalized for more widespread use. An actual implementation that is not supported by an API is typically a bit ugly, brings legacy code issues later on, and can discourage adoption of new features because third-party developers will be less inclined to write brand-specific code to exploit such features. No, she has made it quite clear now that she has little interest in doing any of that until there are concrete implementations ready to be, um, implemented. OK, good to know. I guess I was hoping for the type of leadership that Chris just mentioned.

I imagine that they will add support for multiple forms of external storage as manufacturers request it (or, perhaps, where manufacturers contribute back code). As Ms. Hackborn indicated, an API for things like this is the tip of the iceberg. It's not also terribly relevant until the rest of the iceberg exists, and there's no sense in them spending time trying to design an API until they know what that API is going to need to contain. With respect to future fragmentation, the pattern for handling this is rather obvious. Let's take external storage: -- The zero-parameter getExternalStorageDirectory() and kin do what they do today, reporting on the default external storage -- New versions of the same methods are added to Environment that take some sort of identifier as a parameter, with some sort of getExternalStorageDevices() method to list them However, there are plenty of unknowns: what the identifier is (string or more complex object), what getExternalStorageDevices() returns (ArrayList or some Environment.DeviceRoster object), etc. Those details are impractical to design ahead of the full implementation. So they didn't try. This is not terribly surprising -- in fact, it would have been more surprising had they spent a lot of time on it and skipped other functionality as a result. I am not aware of any compatible Android devices with multiple forms of external storage back in, say, January. There were some (e.g., ARCHOS 5 Android tablet) that had multiple forms of external storage, but they were not in compliance with the compatibility definition in other areas. Hence, when Android 2.2 was being baked, particularly from the standpoint of low-level system stuff like external

Its funny because as I've endeavored to bring my app to life; most of
what I need to do flies in the face of 'proper' etiquette; as you have
surmised. But it is just the ability to do these sorts of things
that originally brought me to Android. I looked into iPhone first and
there were 2 issues I had with that camp. {a} There was NO WAY to
accomplish most of what I needed to do since the SDK developers
decided to protect me from myself. and {b} I was amazed at how
hostile the developers group members were.

I have been writing code for 30 years and I, too, get frustrated by
questions brought by developers that have obviously spent ZERO time
experimenting or trying stuff out... they want it all just handed to
them. But over in iPhone Developer Land --- they seem to prefer
battling why 'MY TECHNIQUE' is better than 'YOUR TECHNIQUE' and get
all medieval on the lowly guy just starting out trying to even
understand what techniques are available to him... and in my
particular case, the notion of my code's etiquette was just
S upsetting that they berated me instead of offering *any*
advice.
anyway ...

I found a code snip that illustrates how to start a new activity from
inside a BR -- and your point regarding specific naming of the

except for that minor traffic altercation in Dubai ;)

Seems like you apply transformations to mPath over and over again, without

keeping the path constant, applying the transform at canvas level.

Eeks, better not the Apollo 13 bit, Mark. I tried the Houston, we have a problem persiflage once before, and it was certainly not appreciated. :-) By and large we agree, I think. I see the trade-offs that you mention. The one main opening that a constructive discussion could have created is that the Android team does not have to throw a final future-proof API over the wall as part of an official Android release. Their time and expertise is finite too, so yes, chances are that what they do would be flawed. The Java ME (dual) camera support with Nokia is actually rather messy too, riddled with ad hoc choices and a consequent legacy of device incompatibilities. And you can see some places where they did try to future-proof things better. Take sensors, for example. They took a stab at implementing a future-proof sensor API, then had to deprecate *twice*. Locations are another place, where they took a shot at future-proof, and sorta hit it so far, if you ignore the whole mock location stuff popping in and out of the SDK.

I have only just recently started reading through the aosp source from git with hopes of understanding the level of exposure the google team provides towards future updates. is this a hopeless effort? i just really hate the idea of working so hard towards a goal that has its support changed, dropped or is natively integrated into the next release. (e.g. froyo's anti-task manager functions recently sent me for a spin). does anyone know of a google group where this kind of stuff is discussed? its not that I disagree with ANY of google's decisions towards the API, its just it would be nice to know what's going to happen before it becomes written law (and weeks/months of coding become useless). thanks, s.

I tried the Houston, we have a problem persiflage once before, and it was certainly not appreciated. :-) By and large we agree, I think. I see the trade-offs that you mention. The one main opening that a constructive discussion could have created is that the Android team does not have to throw a final future-proof API over the wall as part of an official Android release. Their time and expertise is finite too, so yes, chances are that what they do would be flawed. The Java ME (dual) camera support with Nokia is actually rather messy too, riddled with ad hoc choices and a consequent legacy of device incompatibilities. And you can see some places where they did try to future-proof things better. Take sensors, for example. They took a stab at implementing a future-proof sensor API, then had to deprecate *twice*. Locations are another place, where they took a shot at future-proof, and sorta hit it so far, if you ignore the whole mock location stuff popping in and out of the SDK. They didn't totally ignore the issue -- they just didn't do it everywhere. And, as the sensors API demonstrates, future-proof, like past performance, is no guarantee of future results. True. What the Android team could have initiated long ago is to publish draft API proposals, such that you and I and anyone else here can take a stab at them (review them and suggest improvements) and thus help improve quality before the result gets incorporated in an official Android release. Of course the future can still prove you wrong, but at least it ups the chances of getting it first time right. Such a way of working could save a lot of frustration on both sides, and help avoid later API deprecations.

Yes, I am aware of the organic growth option, but the zero-parameter getExternalStorageDirectory() would have been redundant if support for multiple devices had been foreseen and the parametrized method simply limited in value range by letting a getExternalStorageCount() return 1 (or zero) until manufacturers support higher counts. The third-party developer can then write code today that supports higher counts without having to wait for a future version of Android that specifies how getExternalStorageDirectory() gets an additional companion method or overloads one of the parameters.

[android-developers] Monkey usage with Scripts/Network Control not working
Hi, I am trying to do 2 things with monkey 1. Execute a script with a command like adb shell monkey -p MY_PACKAGE --setup scriptfile -f /sdcard/ mon_script1.txt 1 where mon_script.txt contains a few touch commands. After I execute this, I see nothing happening on the screen. It even does not give me the Number of events injected message. I have verified that my touch co-ordinates fall over actual UI elements. This is the script file I am using tap 79 29 tap 100 100 tap 200 200 tap 300 300 quit 2. Execute Monkey Network control to type commands individually. I start up monkey to listen to a port and use PuTTY to send commands. I get OK return messages, but nothing happens on the screen. Whenever I use monkey in the random mode, I see interaction on the screen. But I need to get one of the above 2 methods to work. I have seen the sources of monkey and nothing seems to be wrong. Has anyone used monkey in the above described way? If so, please tell me what I am doing wrong.

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask and screen rotation
So we could use something as simple as the following?
@Override

return myAsyncTask;
}
And in onCreate():
if( (myAsyncTask =

myAsyncTask.setContext(this); // Give my AsyncTask the new
Activity reference
I added a setContext() method to MyAsyncTask which resets a local
member to be used in the on* callbacks to do UI work. I made
MyAsyncTask a completely separate class from my Activity class, and
the constructor requires a Context. This seems to work, and it seems
pretty easy to do. I realize that an AsyncTask has no chance of being

You don't need to interrupt it. See Mark's option 2. Just don't have it
tied to a specific activity instance.
If you want to have it associated logically with the activity, you can use
onRetainNonInstanceState() to transfer it between instances. (Though this
is intended as an optimization, and if you rely on this then you likely
won't get the proper semantics in other cases -- for example if the user
leaves your app and returns to it later it could easily get killed while in
the background and thus lose the active download. In fact you would also
have this same problem if you use android:configChanges for many of the same
reasons.)

[android-developers] Re: mkdir() fails when min sdk version is 4
There is no uses-permission-group tag. Permissions are just for declaring permissions, for help in displaying them to the user. You are right. That was careless of me. I mistakenly used that tag after looking at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission_group.html Another related question is that the Vibrant has 16 GB as internal storage. But that's where the /sdcard directory is. There is also another replaceable 2GB MicroSD slot. If I want to write to that drive, how do I access it and does Android consider that as external storage as well? The Android SDK currently only supports one external storage, which for devices with both internal media mountable for USB mass storage and an SD card should be the internal media. I guess this means that I can't programatically access the microSD card. The micro SD card shows up as /sdcard/sd. Which I guess is how Samsung did it and shouldn't be depended upon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] BackupManager dataChanged() not static, need a reference to BackupManager?
Hi, From: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html To inform the BackupManager that the data has changed, you are supposed to call dataChanged(). However, that method is not static, so you need a reference to the BackupManager. How do you get a reference to the BackupManager? I can get around this by calling the dataChanged(packageName) method which is static, like this: BackupManager.dataChanged(getBaseContext().getPackageName()); which works great. I'm just wondering if I've missed something? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask and screen rotation
Why wouldn't that work if it's a non-static inner class? Dave's

across screen flips, and then if it's present in onCreate, feed it the

MyAsyncTask a completely separate class from my Activity class, and
the constructor requires a Context. This seems to work, and it seems

You don't need to interrupt it. See Mark's option 2. Just don't have it
tied to a specific activity instance.
If you want to have it associated logically with the activity, you can use
onRetainNonInstanceState() to transfer it between instances. (Though this
is intended as an optimization, and if you rely on this then you likely
won't get the proper semantics in other cases -- for example if the user
leaves your app and returns to it later it could easily get killed while in
the background and thus lose the active download. In fact you would also
have this same problem if you use android:configChanges for many of the
same
reasons.)

[android-developers] Re: Behaviour of launchMode=“ singleTask” not as described?
singleTask is one of four launch modes, but its appealing name and
description belies the fact that it is not recommended for general
use:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html
I suspect you can achieve your desired result using a general-purpose
launch mode (standard or singleTop), and, instead, clearing
ActivityB's taskAffinity and/or adding FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to the
intent that launches ActivityB.

singleTop behaves as documented for me (i.e. creating a new Activity at

On Sep 10, 4:00 pm, Olly ollywood...@gmail.com wrote:
I've been learning Android and have come across an issue with
launchMode=singleTask. The documentation states that when this
attribute is used, the Activity is always launched into a new task as
the root Activity. Secondly, the documentation states that if an
Intent is targeted at such an Activity when there are Activities
sitting above it in its task stack, such Intents are discarded
(although the task is still brought to the foreground).
I've been playing around with this, and the behaviour I observe is
completely different. In particular: - Activities with
launchMode=singleTask are not always the root Activity in a task
stack. They are just plonked ontop of the existing stack with the same
affinity. - When an Intent is targeted at such an Activity and there
are other Activities above it in the stack, the Intent is not
discarded. Instead the Activities above it in the stack are discarded.
The Intent is then delivered via onNewIntent to the Activity as
normal.
Can someone confirm that this is the actual behaviour? If so, why are
the documents incorrect? If not what have I done wrong. . . Here is a
simple way to observe the behaviour:
1. Create a simple main.xml containing two buttons b1 and b2.
2. Create the following Activity:
public class ActivityA extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button lButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b1);
lButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent lNextIntent = new
Intent(ActivityA.this,ActivityA.class);
startActivity(lNextIntent);
}
});
Button lButton2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b2);
lButton2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent lNextIntent = new
Intent(ActivityA.this,ActivityB.class);
startActivity(lNextIntent);
}
});
}
}
3. Create the second Activity:
public class ActivityB extends ActivityA {
}
4. The manifest:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
package=ojw28.activitytest
android:versionCode=1
android:versionName=1.0
application android:icon=@drawable/icon android:label=@string/
app_name
activity android:name=ActivityA
android:label=@string/app_name
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /
/intent-filter
/activity
activity android:name=.ActivityB
android:launchMode=singleTask
/activity
/application
/manifest
5. Launch the application. Press button b1 a couple of times, see what
happens to the task stack using adb shell dumpsys activity. Multiple
instances of ActivityA are now in the task stack as expected.
Now press button b2. According to the documentation this should launch
an ActivityB instance is a NEW task, as the root Activity of that
task. Use adb to look at the stack. What actually happens is ActivityB

[android-developers] Fil-rate workaround with FBOs?
My apologies if this is a stupid question... Might I get a net frame rate improvement if I did something like this: * create an FBO of resolution less than the full phone screen dimensions (user-selected quality vs speed option) * do most of my scene rendering into that FBO * then the 'real' (full screen) render would either use the FBO as the starting background color buffer contents, or render it (probably orthographically) as a single quad. * then probably add UI/Text decoration on top of that, where the resolutions really benefits. And, is there some egl glue (I am a glSurfaceView kinda dood) that would automagically do something like this in the first place? Or am I being naive to think the GPU could do its work faster if it was rendering to a lower resolution target? And would the phone with the worst fill rate also be the phone that doesn't support FBOs in the first place? After reading the OpenVR info (thanks again, Lance) I think I might get some improvement by breaking some huge triangles into smaller ones. I have some (water layer, in particular) that are so large they probably get processed by every tile of the screen.

[android-developers] Re: any tool in android to find memory leak and code optimization
I believe DDMS has much of what you need. For code profiling, search for 'TraceView' * you will want to add some UI to your app to let you toggle tracing on and off, so you can capture samples while your code is doing the thing you're interested in improving. For memory leak checking, you need to run the full DDMS (not the DDMS panel in eclipse), and you ideally should use that full DDMS to launch the app (either on a emulator or a real phone). If you let eclipse launch it, it will probably grab the access port and then the full DDMS won't be able to connect and you will scratch your head wondering why. You might start here: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/traceview.html http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/avoiding-memory-leaks.html http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/track-mem.html Note that TraceView might have a memory limit preventing you from capturing enough data. You can get around that by editing your copy of traceview.bat (in the sdk/tools folder I recall)... there is a line near the end that you change to look something like this: call %java_exe% -Xmx1024m -Djava.ext.dirs=%javaextdirs% - Dcom.android.traceview.toolsdir= -jar %jarpath% %* it's that -Xmx1024m that you change (it defaults to something smaller) And if you trace on a real phone, don't forget to give your app permission to write to the SDCARD. I believe the instructions imply you (in the emulator) can toggle tracing with F9 without needing to formally call: Debug.startMethodTracing(calc);// things get profiled Debug.stopMethodTracing();// But that has not worked for me.So I always call those functions (at run time) to start/stop my sampling.

At that point one can only stop and restart eclipse. Apparently the ADK must be doing something wrong, because I have been developing with Eclipse now for 5+ years and I normally never see this. ADT is a really the exception here. Is there any setting or patch that helps top avoid this? I have already given it more heap space (750M) to stretch the time between these hickups a bit, but that approach isn't really sustainable. This is using Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) and the Android SDK r06 running a FroYo AVD. Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Can android support more than one sdcard?
I really don't think he is the one missing the point. Your talk about supporting an arbitrary number of everything is a straw-man argument. Other than you, nobody proposed that in this thread. What has been observed with 20-20 hindsight though, is that the desirability of two SD cards should have been easy to foresee, as it is much more useful than an arbitrary number of everything. It is much more useful, and for only a little extra hardware, than two screens, for example. Or two keyboards. Don't feel bad about Google failing to foresee this. Feel bad about Google failing to realize you are big enough to admit this failure. It is not THAT big a failure. On Sep 11, 3:40 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Well you are totally missing my point. Of course it would be *nice* to support an arbitrary number of everything. To actually ship a product on time, though, you probably aren't going to be able to do so. The SD card is an especially good case of this, because it's not just a matter of adding an API -- you also need to figure out the whole UX around this, which is fairly non-trivial. Anyway, done with this thread. On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 1:51 AM, blindfold seeingwithso...@gmail.comwrote: A marketing or engineering department that can't accept limitations is an organization that will never ship a product. When you are a research department you aim to develop new products rather than shorten time to market. When even the basic building blocks are already highly restrictive it becomes much harder to innovate. Although this thread is mostly about having a second SD card, your comments seem to indicate a general attitude towards and lack of interest in generalized API support for enumerating peripherals: I'll only support one camera! Okay. Not OK! If one wants to compete on the market one has to look at competitors that already sport two cameras, such as a front-facing camera. Think many Nokia phones, and Apple's iPhone 4G. (I added second camera support to my own Nokia Java MIDlet app back in 2006.) Do you want every Android phone manufacturer to invent and develop their own proprietary Android API extensions even to just keep up with existing functionality elsewhere? You encourage fragmentation! Also, please look across platform boundaries as well as look at broadening the scope towards gaming devices. What Microsoft is doing with Kinect (formerly Natal) involves either a stereo camera or a time- of-flight camera. Do you want individual Android device manufacturers to create proprietary API extensions here too? Why make it impossible to develop an Android counterpart of the Nintendo 3DS by sticking to a conventional single camera API, forcing proprietary extensions? Thanks!

A marketing or engineering department that can't accept limitations is an organization that will never ship a product. (And you don't note all of the complexity that comes from going from 1 to 2 -- how is this reflecting in the UI? How does the user decide where they want their stuff to go? How about telling them how much space is where? And now you've got to let them move stuff around. I can make a good argument that multiple SD cards is just intrinsically a crummy user experience and should be avoided. Heck even one SD card significantly complicates the UX.) -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask and screen rotation
But just as you say, that is by -default- that it is on the same process and thread. Now does anyone actually use it with that same process being an Activity? Often (though not always), it is launched by an Alarm, not by the main process hosting the UI thread in the first place. Then it is the Service that sends messages to the Activity that currently has the UI. Now since the whole purpose of AsyncTask is to provide communication and coordination between a UI thread and a worker thread (more conveniently than with java.lang.thread), it might make sense to use AsyncTask in a Service only if the Service itself has a UI thread. But although the docs you mention admit to this possibility, I am having trouble seeing why that would ever be good design. But knowing this group, if there are any such, someone will pop up out of the woodwork and show us:) On Sep 11, 2:36 am, Lance Nanek lna...@gmail.com wrote: peculiar problems in the way the classes are designed. Service by definition is already in the background, it HAS no UI thread, so why Services, by default, run in the same on process and on the main/UI thread. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html Note that services, like other application objects, run in the main thread of their hosting process. This means that, if your service is going to do any CPU intensive (such as MP3 playback) or blocking (such as networking) operations, it should spawn its own thread in which to do that work.

Service by definition is already in the background, it HAS no UI thread, so why do I need an AsyncTask there at all? The whole point of the latter is to communicate between UI thread and worker thread. As for documenting what works, I hope Google takes your hint and documents what the right way to do this really is. After all, these are the same people who keep warning us that if it's not documented, then it is subject to change w/o notice.

You lose the ability to automatically switch layouts, drawables, etc. Worst-case scenario: Step #1: Take your UI setup that is in onCreate() and move it to a separate method (e.g., setupViews()) Step #2: Call setupViews() from onCreate() Step #3: Call setupViews() from onConfigurationChanged() Done. ~4 lines of code. And it's the exact same code path that a destroy/recreate will go down, so it's not like this adds unusual performance overhead. There are certain circumstances where this may not work (e.g., GLSurfaceView and a game), but you needed to do extra work for those cases, anyway, to handle the destroy/recreate cycle. Saving and restoring an AsyncTask is not difficult. No, it's not. The question is: is it reliable? None of the AsyncTask documentation (class, article, etc.) covers this case. It *appears* that you can write an AsyncTask such that onPostExecute() or onProgressUpdate() will not be called in the middle of the activity transition. However, that's not documented and hence not guaranteed, and so while I'll describe a pattern that seems to work, I personally don't trust it any further than I can throw your large Froyo lawn ornament. If somebody could give us the recipe that is guaranteed to work (i.e., works today, and is going to work in Android 2.3/3.0/Turbo System 5000), that'd be *wonderful*. Actually, I lied earlier. I'd choose Option #4: Option #4: Don't do the AsyncTask in an activity. Use a Service and have it do the AsyncTask, or use an IntentService if the sole purpose of the service is to do stuff in a background thread. In particular, an IntentService would be good for a download that you want to happen regardless of what may go on with an activity (e.g., Android Market downloading an APK), and so you don't need to worry about canceling it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in London:http://skillsmatter.com/go/os-mobile-server -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

You can simply make a single View that you set as your UI, and do all your

on whatever you do for that do calls on InputConnection as the soft keyboard

Based on google's published document this seems to be standard stuff,

the keyboard myself. So this is not a huge job, but a few hours of

Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to
provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails. All such
questions should be posted on public forums, where I and others can see and
answer them.
