[android-developers] thousands of strings
Hello, Maybe some of you has an application with quotations or jokes or something. I would like to make a similar. So how can I get the i. element of my string array (which is in arrays.xml)? I don't want to load the whole array in a String[], because it can be too big. Or it's not a good idea to put them into arrays.xml? How do you handle thousands of strings?

[android-developers] ActivityManager(): Timeout executing service
I get the error ActivityManager(): Timeout executing service When the phone goes to sleep with a service running in the background. The service goes into wait() because it uses text-to- speech, and it awakes to push the next sentence. If the Activity that controls the service is in the forground, (with SET_PROCESS_FORGROUND enabled), the service will do its job as expected. But if the service is left by itself running in the background, it will be kicked out of the phone. Once it crashes it is brought back in, but it cannot recover after that. I was using WAKE_LOCK when the whole application was an Activity, but now that it is a Service and an Activity, WAKE_LOCK does not seem to work if used from the Service.

[android-developers] Using sliding motion to click multiple buttons
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to click multiple items (buttons,checkboxes,radiobuttons,etc) by doing a sliding over multiple items in one motion. For example, say I have a vertical layout of three buttons and I would like to click them all quickly. I want to be able to slide my finger across the three of them instead of clicking them one at a time. I thought that this would be possible by using the ontouchlistener but this didn't work.

[android-developers] Re: Library Projects support ?
Actually, as I mentioned in my post, it's already a 1.6 project... I can only make a 1.6 project if I have the SDK that supports it rigth ?

Hence you cant extract any data from the library's manifest. So my question now is : hhmmm ok, that would explain it I guess... But is there any official statement or anyone who knows this for sure ?

[android-developers] ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent Motorola Droid platform 2.2
Hi,
I've received messages from users that my application crashes after
users have used camera. This works fine on my test phone Nexus One.
Starting intent -
Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(imageFile);
Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, imageUri);
activity.startActivityForResult(intent,
LogicUtils.CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST);
As I understand intent is started (since in reports doesn't says that
after picture is taken, application crashes)
So problem should be in here.
Handling Intent results -
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, final
Intent data) {
if (requestCode == LogicUtils.CAPTURE_IMAGE_ACTIVITY_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Thread getPictureFromUri = new Thread(){
@Override
public void run() {
Bitmap bitmap = null;
try{
bitmap =
(Bitmap)intent.getExtras().get(data);
saveAndRelease(tempFile, bitmap);
//http://www.jondev.net/articles/
Capturing,_Saving,_and_Displaying_an_Image_in_Android_
%281.5,_1.6,_2.0,_2.1,_2.2,_Sense_UI_-_Hero%29
l.i(using the Sense UI);
}
catch (NullPointerException ex) {
Uri chosenImageUri = intent.getData(); //this
works at least for some phone models
if(chosenImageUri == null){
chosenImageUri =
intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM); //Not tested if this
works
}
try {
bitmap =
Media.getBitmap(context.getContentResolver(), chosenImageUri);
saveAndRelease(tempFile, bitmap);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
catch (IOException e) {}
}
catch(Exception e) {}
//This image file is same file
//as the one that were used to create
Uri from and given to the
camera intent
}
};
getPictureFromUri.start();
}
else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
}
}
}
I assume that camera intent didn't store captured image to given File
imageFile. I've tried this with other variations and and haven't
managed to resolve this issue. I've use my own camera activity to take
photo on phones that use platform 1.6 and older and that works fine.
So this isn't platform issue.
There must be away to use native camera app to take picture. What do I
do wrong?
Sorry that I can't give any more information like stack trace. I would
really appreciate if somebody with Motorola droid with platform 2.2
could give some input on this code.

[android-developers] Re: how to detect if a phone is running HTC sense UI
I would really like to know why people want to know they are running with
Sense UI. Is it just for notifications? Are there other things?
Yes, there are. The Sense UI changes some of the API's behavior. I
know of two things that work differently on Sense UI. Both of them
have to do with my app, which changes the number being dialed.
1) The call log won't allow updates. It strangely allows inserts but
even though it lets you insert the phone number dialed it won't allow
you to also insert the display name (if you do it stays as unknown
and looks really awkward). I opened a discussion about this a while
back and didn't realize back then that it only happened on Sense UI
phones. Some people argued that you shouldn't touch the call log (even
though there's nothing about that in the documentation). On the
emulator and on non-Sense UI devices it works flawlessly (at leas on
all of those that I've tested so far). My app need this to keep the
original dialed number in the call log. In this case, when running
Sense UI it's better not to touch the call log that to touch it and
have it look awkward.
2) In particular HTC Desire with Android 2.2 won't allow you to change
the number being dialed.
(see thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/1e23230cfaae5038/3fd980598e78c479?lnk=gstq=desire+2.2)
I do admit that in this case I'm not completely sure it's a Sense UI
problem (I've seen it happen on Motorola devices but it was an easy
fix, removing the priority setting from the Intent). I also had
reports from Desire 2.2 users that had this working and one day, it
just stopped to never work again.

I'm using this to instruct the user to change the Lock phone after

I need to use the right terminology. Also these two settings are
value added features that break my app, Smart Lock.
I'm pretty sure I can't access those custom skin api's.
I know my app is a statistical outlier, but I'd call this
fragmentation.

This is how I do it. I would use it sparingly though so you don't bind
your app to a particular phone. I really only use it to determine

the emulator to determine whether it is there or not. Of course I
don't have two home screens installed on my incredible so I don't know
what would happen in that case.

Re: [android-developers] thousands of strings
The way I handle this is I have a small database packaged with the initial application install. Upon first run, it attempts to download the full database from my server. If it fails, then the user still has a subset of items to choose from with the smaller database until the next time the game loads when it tries to download the db again. This minimizes the initial size of the app as well as guarantees playability in the onset in case the user loses network connectivity for some reason. The app checks for the full database until it officially gets downloaded. I guess you can see this as a hybrid version of Mark's suggestions.

Android has the MediaScanner that looks at the media on the device (internal and external storage) and builds a database of the tags for MP3 (and other files). This runs one start-up and can be triggered by sdcard mount/unmount. There is an open API to the MediaScanner that you can use to tell it to re-scan a single file.

[android-developers] Re: unit testing asynchronous API calls ?
I would like to point out that, as far as I can tell, you're not doing a real unit test. It seems that you have at least two components. So let's say you have two, component A and component B. You would like to test both, but you first have to call A, which calls an asynchronous process that does something and then triggers B. Is this correct? If so, the whole sequence is not a unit test. A true unit test would be to call A and then verify its results. To do that, you might have to have a test version of the asynchronous process. To test B, you'd have to set up a fixture that mocks the results of the asynchronous process, then you'd have to call B. The classes in android.test.* are not a substitute for a full test harness. Instead, they're extensions of junit.framework.TestCase that allow you to run JUnit within Android. To do testing of more than one component at a time, you have to write your own test harness, and notice that it has to be an Android app. On Oct 3, 2:28 pm, Doug beafd...@gmail.com wrote: On Oct 2, 9:28 pm, Alex aleksm...@gmail.com wrote: I was wondering what is the best way to accomplish this ? I can suggest a solution, though it may not be the best. You probably going to have to set up some kind of listener interface to be implemented in your unit test that triggers after the result is processed by the UI thread. Otherwise, you'll have to figure out another way to detect when the processing is complete. In you make a listener the responds to completion, you'll have to then signal junit that it completed so it can assert what it needs to assert. An easy way to do that is: - Define a CountDownLatch that you create before executing AsyncTask - After executing, call await on the latch (with a timeout if you need it) - In the callback listener, call countDown on the latch to notify the test that it's done Basically, you just need to make the junit thread to wait for the results, and you can use any standard multithreading technique to do it. But if all you need to do is validate the results of a task without needing to run it on the UI thread, you could just try to call the methods on the AsyncTask directly (don't use execute()) and detect the results when the methods complete normally.

[android-developers] Optimizing TextView creation
My app creates a lot of TextView objects and this turns out to be really slow. A look at the traceview output reveals that the bulk of the time is spent in the TextView methods that grab all the default parameters from /res and /util. The thing is, all my TextViews share 99% of these parameters. Is it possible to clone a TextView rather than create one from scratch? If not, what about if I created a pool of TextView objects and reused them? Just to give some context, I'm generating a spreadsheet to show some data provided from an online source and the spreadsheet can be as big as 20 columns by 50 rows = 1000 cells, each with a TextView.

[android-developers] How could I be interfering with context menu longclick?
My app used to use a standard ListView, and
registerForContextMenu(getListView()) and everything worked just fine.
I needed to change my app to accommodate nested lists so I replaced
the ListView with ExpandableListView. I changed the Activity to
ExpandableListActivity. I also changed my adapter to a tree adapter
and implemented a custom view class to populate the list with (based
on a LinearLayout viewgroup).
I have been trying to track down where I screwed it up and I've found
several things.
The most important is that when I add a longclick listener to my
custom view and return false from it, my context menu pops up and
functions properly. However, I don't get the fading orange-to-white
long click animation because the long click is being sucked up
somewhere else until it is handled by a longclicklistener and ignored
(thus being thrown back up the chain until it reaches the
ExpandableListView (which is registered for context menus).
I am using a TouchInterceptor model to handle certain gestures from my
listview with the following implementation:
public class TouchInterceptor extends ExpandableListView {
...
protected MotionEvent downStart = null;
public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
switch(event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
// keep track of the starting down-event
downStart = MotionEvent.obtain(event);
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
// if moved horizontally more than slop*2, capture the
event for
ourselves
if(downStart == null)
{
break;
}
float deltaX = event.getX() - downStart.getX();
if(Math.abs(deltaX) ViewConfiguration.getTouchSlop()
* 2)
return true;
break;
}
// otherwise let the event slip through to children
return super.onInterceptTouchEvent(event);
}
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// check if we crossed an item
if(downStart != null)
{
float targetWidth = this.getWidth() / 4;
float deltaX = event.getX() - downStart.getX(),
deltaY = event.getY() - downStart.getY();
boolean movedAcross = (Math.abs(deltaX) targetWidth);
boolean steadyHand = (Math.abs(deltaX / deltaY) 2);
if(movedAcross steadyHand) {
boolean crossRight = (deltaX 0);
// figure out which child view we crossed
ListView list =
(ListView)this.findViewById(android.R.id.list);
int position =
list.pointToPosition((int)downStart.getX(),
(int)downStart.getY());
// pass crossed event to any listeners
onCross(crossRight, position);
downStart = null;
// and return true to consume this event
return true;
}
}
return super.onTouchEvent(event);
}
...
}
Is there something wrong with how I'm handling these events?
Note: although my context menu pops up, it only does so when the long-
click event is triggered, not a long OK button click.
Something is screwed up here and I'm not sure how to track it down.

Re: [android-developers] Amazon android market. Anyone take the offer?
Niko, I didn't sign any NDA with Amazon, but there is a lot of public information out there about the Amazon Android Store, coming from people leaking information out to various sites. Once the information becomes public, the NDA in regards to you talking about public information is not enforceable. My guess is that they are (or will) try to enforce that developers always keep their application up-to-date with Android Market versions. To keep users, they would need such a provision, as who wants to buy an app from a store that doesn't get updates? From my experience, most developers care about two things above all else: 1) downloads; 2) money from sales. If you look at all the other complaints, they are related to (1) and (2). Bad comments - hurts (1) or (2). My app doesn't show up, I can't sell it. Lots of spam apps means users can't find my app to buy. And so on. If Amazon can demonstrate that it can generate for the developer much more than the $99 dollar registration fee, then developers will flock to them, even putting up with unnecessary restrictions from Amazon. So the problem is: can Amazon demonstrate these sales? Introducing a high entrance fee means that 90%+ would never even consider them, as they either have free apps or their sales on Android Market are so low, they could never justify it. With a low number of apps in the store, users won't take it seriously. You end up with low downloads and sales so developers don't take it seriously.

[android-developers] Re: bitmap magnification
I would advise calculating the scale of original image to screen
height/width, and adjusting your inSampleSize accordingly. When it's
2, you're always loading half of the source bitmap, so if it's huge,
you're still loading half of huge. You'll want to do something like
options.inSampleSize = srcWidth/screenWidth;
(maybe different, depending on your ratio, and if you want to fill the
screen, etc. You might also want to round inSampleSize to the nearest
power of 2.

[android-developers] Compressing camera image to a certain size
Hello I am sending images taken from the camera to a server. I want to keep as high quality as possible but not exceed 1.5MB. When data from camera is less than 1.5MB i do not process it, but there are cases when data might be 3, 5 etc. I have looked around in the BitmapFactory and Bitmap class. Basically i need to Bitmap.compress with a dynamic quality parameter. How can I determine which quality to use inorder to get an unknown image data size to 1.5MB?

[android-developers] The ultimate, killer Android Marketplace replacement
It's not a technical issue. It's a business one. The first company that works out agreements with most of the world's mobile carriers to allow integrated billing for apps will quickly become the dominant application channel. As soon as users can click on a buy button and have the app charged to their phone bill as a monthly fee, all other channels will wither away. 99 cent apps will become 10 cents per month. Users will be able to turn off billing by uninstalling the app, which will make them more willing to try out new ones. Apps that are useful will generate recurring revenue for the developers for years. The short message is that Android apps should be billed the same way 99% of the world pays for phone services - monthly and on a single bill. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Well, when I look at the web references for dope vector, they're mostly referring to a different (and more obscure) concept than the one I'm talking about: The concept is blazingly simple -- something you'd invent if you didn't already know of it. Consider that you have a set of variable-length elements (maybe strings) that you want to access by numeric index, you could allocate an NxM byte array (where M is the size of the longest element) but that would be inefficient (in space) if many of the elements were much shorter than M. So instead you pack the elements together, head to tail, in a single byte array. Then you create another array, Nx2 integers. If you index this second array by the index of one of your variable-length elements, the first word in the row is the offset to the start of that element (within the first array), and the second word is the length of the element. But then you notice that, for all elements except the last, for a given element index X, the X+1 entry in the dope vector contains the offset of the first byte after the Xth element. So instead of having two columns in the dope vector you can (if you wish) just use one, and add at the end an N+1th entry that addresses the first byte after the end of the last element. In this case, you replace the arrays with randomly-accessed files, but that's a trivial transformation (aside, as I said, from the ugliness of the Java file access classes).

[android-developers] Re: Amazon android market. Anyone take the offer?
I think I could care less about the number of downloads from a place such as the Amazon store - it would take really amazing download rates for a free app to make back the $99 fee in any reasonable amount of time, and I just don't see where this is possible, unless Amazon has made some exclusive agreements with major carriers to place their market on millions of phones. It may make sense for paid apps (without a doubt, purchasing through Amazon would be more acceptable to many users than purchasing through Google Checkout + you have almost worldwide sales coverage). Certainly, if any independent market can compete with the Android market it would be Amazon, but I think they've shot themselves in the foot with the initial entry fee. That is going to keep a lot of the small developers from making the jump across - fewer apps - less chance that customers will take them seriously. Quality control is a good thing, but the registration fee just feels like a way of turning a profit on developers irrespective of sales. They should have made their initial offer of registration be free to the best/most popular apps to build up a good stable of apps for the launch - and then considered a registration fee afterward (as you say - if the sales are there, the developers will follow). If the registration was free, I don't think I would think twice about putting my free apps on there. As is, I'm still looking for additional information, like the OP. Regards, Michael A. On Oct 4, 6:53 pm, Shane Isbell shane.isb...@gmail.com wrote: Niko, I didn't sign any NDA with Amazon, but there is a lot of public information out there about the Amazon Android Store, coming from people leaking information out to various sites. Once the information becomes public, the NDA in regards to you talking about public information is not enforceable. My guess is that they are (or will) try to enforce that developers always keep their application up-to-date with Android Market versions. To keep users, they would need such a provision, as who wants to buy an app from a store that doesn't get updates? From my experience, most developers care about two things above all else: 1) downloads; 2) money from sales. If you look at all the other complaints, they are related to (1) and (2). Bad comments - hurts (1) or (2). My app doesn't show up, I can't sell it. Lots of spam apps means users can't find my app to buy. And so on. If Amazon can demonstrate that it can generate for the developer much more than the $99 dollar registration fee, then developers will flock to them, even putting up with unnecessary restrictions from Amazon. So the problem is: can Amazon demonstrate these sales? Introducing a high entrance fee means that 90%+ would never even consider them, as they either have free apps or their sales on Android Market are so low, they could never justify it. With a low number of apps in the store, users won't take it seriously. You end up with low downloads and sales so developers don't take it seriously.

Just tried it with zero. Fails the same way. (And the code works fine on other phones.)

[android-developers] Re: android design considerations: AsynchTask vs Service (IntentService?)
Well, that offer is an improvement over the stonewalling we have all seen so often here before, but it still reads a little bit like offering a comb to a bald man. Why? Because many of us are relying on precisely those docs for the info we would put in the suggested patches. So how are we supposed to come up with the patches, when those who already -have- the info keep it so close to their chests?

Would help to know what OS you're running, whether hard-wired or
wireless, whether you're using a proxy, etc.

And, if we skip the test and let the code continue on, a PDF is successfully displayed through a simple startActivity with an intent for ACTION_VIEW on a PDF file.
