Hello,

I have problems with AnimationDrawable which i use to animate a
'striped' gif file. In fact I have two animations that I want to use
in one activity (and they must be used in the same activity). Both
animation are build with 7 frames :

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
animation-list xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
 android:id=@+id/analyse android:oneshot=false
 item android:drawable=@drawable/analyse_frame_0
android:duration=50 /
 item android:drawable=@drawable/analyse_frame_1
android:duration=50 /
item android:drawable=@drawable/analyse_frame_2
android:duration=50 /
 item android:drawable=@drawable/analyse_frame_3
android:duration=50 /
item android:drawable=@drawable/analyse_frame_4
android:duration=50 /
 item android:drawable=@drawable/analyse_frame_5
android:duration=50 /
item android:drawable=@drawable/analyse_frame_6
android:duration=50 /
/animation-list

The second one is the same, just different files but also 7 frames.

In the onCrate() method of my activity I start the first animation and
launch a 15 second timer (the idea is that the first animation is
playing when the timer ticks). I use the following code:

  //The onCreate method of the activity class.
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.third);
 
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

  layout =
(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.widget40);
  analyseImage = (ImageView)
findViewById(R.id.ImageView02);
 
analyseImage.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.analyse_animation);

  analyseAnimation = (AnimationDrawable)
analyseImage.getBackground();
  analyseAnimation.start();

  MyCount counter = new MyCount(15000,1000);.
  counter.start();
  }


Unfortunately this does not work. However when the timer finishes I
want to start a second animation and launch a seperate thread. And
this works - when I start the animation in the 'onFinish' method of
the timer, the animation starts properly:

   //the onFinish() method of timer.
  public void onFinish()
{
 
layout.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.id_app4);

 
analyseImage .destroyDrawingCache();
 
analyseImage .setVisibility(View.GONE);

  connectImage = (ImageView)
findViewById(R.id.ImageView02);
 
connectImage.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.connect_animation);
  connectAnimation =
(AnimationDrawable) analyseImage.getBackground();
 
connectAnimation.start();
 
startThread(connectTh,myConnector);
}

Unfortunately this does not work so good because it only works when I
comment-out the first one - otherwise I get an Exception :
'OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget'. As you see I try to
release some memory but this does not help. This is a crucial problem,
since my application is working in a 'ring' of couple activities. So
when I finish the last one it goes back to the first one - it is
possible that the activity with animations will be called many times
in the life-time of the whole app. So I need to release the memory
from the second one as well.

So now here are my questions:
- why can't I start the first animation instantly after the activity
starts and how to do this?
- How to release the memory from the animations?

Can anyone please help?

PS: I am working on Android 1.5

Re: [android-developers] Problem with AnimationDrawable

There's a problem with the current release (I guess), where these kind of
animations do not start if you call them directly from any of the activity's
lifecycle method. If you do the same thing, from within a thread, or on the
click of a button, this seems to work.

[android-developers] Re: How to make a trial version which starts a limited amount of times?

2010-11-23 Thread Eyvind Almqvist

Yes, I see now that they write
Products that cannot be previewed by the buyer (such as
applications): You authorize Google to give the buyer a full refund of
the Product price if the buyer requests the refund within 48 hours
after purchase.


I have released a trial like I described on OVI and
I haven't got much angry reviews.
I could also make a trial with limited functionality.
You could for instance only watch 4 of the 10 visual effects.
But wouldn't that risk getting angry reviews as well?'
Or do you think this alternative would work better on AM?


It is difficult and time consuming to buy anything from AM
in Sweden. You have to buy with credit cards and
you have to write all the information about your credit card in the
mobile.
Is it the same for USA? If so, I think it makes people less willing to
buy anything.
I think a trial version is needed because the buying process is so
complicated, even
 if a 24 hour trial is possible when they buy apps.

  Thanks for explaining, now I understand what you mean when you say
  that there is not much use to make a time limited trial.
  What do you mean with Android Market already implements a default
  time limited trial version of your app? Do you mean that everytime
  someone buys an app they can return it within 24-48 hours for free?
  That must be a special rule that Google has, I've never seen that in
  other appstores.

 You should probably read 
 this:http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html

  I was planning to release a trial version which starts 3 times. The
  first time, you can view all of the visual effects.
  The second time, you can view just 3 of the visual effects. The third
  time, you can view just 1 of the visual effects.
  But maybe it is no use to release a trial version like that either? My
  apps display visual effects that you can use for meditation or
  relaxation, so you can't use them as a wallpaper.

 I think that you would be likely to get a lot of disgruntled customers
 by releasing an app like that, but do keep in mind that this is just
 an opinion based on my own experiences and observations. Others may
 have differing experiences/opinions, and even if all of us agree (not
 likely), it is still just an opinion. None of us can predict the
 future.

  My company got good distribution to operators, currently about 40
  operators are selling our apps. Maybe it is easier to get sales for
  Android apps on the operators appstores and portals than on Android
  market? I have seen that big US operators like T-mobile and Verizon
  are looking for Android apps.

 It is certainly possible, but none of the alternate markets have - as
 yet - a market penetration to compete with the Android market. You are
 likely to make at least an order of magnitude (10x)  more sales
 through the Android market than any other portal as things stand
 today. That situation may change in future, perhaps even the near
 future, but for now this is the reality we deal with.

 Michael A.

   I would not make a time-limited trial (that was kind of my point).
   With the way the Android market works (and the demographics of its
   users), it is not really well suited to these kind of apps.

   I would look to limit the functionality/choice in your trial app
   instead. I can see that you do wallpapers; you could for instance
   offer a basic variant for free that does not permit any (or very
   little) tweaking of your wallpaper settings. Or put in ads whenever
   the settings are changed - whichever solution seems to fit best with
   your strategy.

Our apps has sold best when there is no trial version available, so
the consumer only has the option of buying the complete version. This
approach has been successful on Playnow, we've had 2 apps which have
been number one their sales chart.

   The Android market is a very different beast, for better and worse.

But I assume that this approach is more difficult on Android market,
since there are so may free products available?

   Visibility is an issue on the market. There's a reason that most of
   the success stories on the market were either early arrivals to
   Android or big names (e.g. Rovio).

Or is it possible to sell good on Android market without having a
trial version?

   I think you misunderstand the purpose of a trial version in the
   context of the Android market.

   Keep in mind that the Android Market already implements a default time-
   limited trial version of your app - ANY user can download your app and

[android-developers] Re: LVL - Yay or Nay?

2010-11-23 Thread Sheado

Thanks for your feedback Zsolt,

We love working on Android apps, but at the end of the day we need to
be paid for our efforts. If LVL isn't going to result in increased
revenue for us, then we may not want to dedicate any time to it (it's
not just the time we worry about, but the potential bugs, obfuscation
issues, build management, etc).
As I do more research I become even more confused. For example some
scenarios after DRM was added (note not all of these are Android
apps):

Minor increase:
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=17350

No difference:
http://games.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=viewtype=storysid=08/11/15/0239219

Increased sales (although there is some cross-promotion of DRM
technology here):

At this point I'm leaning towards no DRM... hopefully that's the right
decision.

 Why would the sales increase by adding LVL?  The vast majority of
 pirates wouldn't pay for your app in the frist place, this has been
 shown many times since the very early days of personal computers.

 So I wouldn't add the LVL to increase sales, but to make it harder for
 people to simply steal my work.

 I had a pirate just yesterday having the nerve to send me a long
 feature request e-mail.  I looked up his name and I saw he pirated my
 app over a month ago.  So I asked him how come he's using the paid
 version of my app, and he actually responded saying that he canceled
 the purchase, but was considering buying it if I add feature X.  OK,
 right.

 These are the people I would like to stop with the LVL.

[android-developers] IllegalStateException in MediaPlayer (Redux)

2010-11-23 Thread Jason Polites

Hi folks,

Some time ago I posted an issue relating to an IllegalStateException
in the Media Player (http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/
browse_thread/thread/46c7c2cd4f4a6958/5551d47aac93632c)

I have just launched the app into the wild and this error is
flooding in.

I just can't seem to fathom why.. here's the code:

if(mp != null) {
   mp.stop();
   mp.prepareAsync();
}

(mp is a MediaPlayer instance BTW).

According to the doco, prepareAsync is valid for {Initialized,
Stopped} states.. but I just can't see how it could be in any state
other than stopped??

The trace is:

java.lang.IllegalStateException
  at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepareAsync(Native Method)
  .. the line of code mentioned above follows.

Is it possible that stop() is not synchronous?  Can't seem to see
anything in the doco stating this.

Anyone got any ideas?

P.S.

I'm seeing this on a wide range of devices, but all so far are version
2.1-update1

[android-developers] Re: LVL - Yay or Nay?

What's the status of the Google TC's in regard to this?  Last I read
you were allowed to promote anything in the app that wasn't
purchased via the Market.

From the Android Developer Distribution Agreement: (http://
www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html)

You may not use the Market to distribute or make available any
Product whose primary purpose is to facilitate the distribution of
Products outside of the Market.

Or has this been pretty much ignored?

 Anyone got any ideas?

 P.S.

 I'm seeing this on a wide range of devices, but all so far are version
 2.1-update1

Why not? If activity that is bound to Tab1 is ActivityGroup you can
easily do it.

Re: [android-developers] Help Needed on Android Widget

2010-11-23 Thread Kostya Vasilyev


AppWidgetProvider is a subclass of BroadcastReceiver.

You can have your Activity send an Intent with extras (for new data 
values) to the widget provider, whenever there is new data to display.


Another way is to update the widget directly from code that updates the 
data. You can use AppWidgetManager anywhere within your application's code.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with AnimationDrawable

Thank you for the reply. I really don't get this - following your
advice I moved the animation creating code out of OnCreate. Firstly I
overrided an 'OnStart()' method of the main activity - nothing. Then I
have put it in the OnTick() method of the timer in a simple if
condition to launch only at the first tick - still the same. The image
is loaded but the animation is not starting. But still what is funny
it works when I launch it at the end of timer countdown in the
'OnFinish' method...

[android-developers] Is that possible to print backtrace when debug native code

2010-11-23 Thread A.TNG

Hi All,

When I debug android app, if I work with Java, I can use Log.d(TAG,
, new Throwable()) to print backtrace of Java code. This is
really handy for me to find bugs. But when I work with native library
(e.g. libwebcore.so), there seems no way to print backtrace in
runtime. The only way to debug native code is use gdbserver.

I have a question. Is there any way to print backtrace in C/C++? If
you have any idea, please share with me. Thanks a lot.

[android-developers] Inputtype for edit text not changing

2010-11-23 Thread umakantpatil

Hi..
I want to show edittext which will default show faint color text
written as Password. As soon as user focus on it then I want to
convert it from text to password type. I did that but its not
working..

On focus of the password box. I wrote as follows:


EditText tpassword = (EditText) v;


tpassword.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

tpassword.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black));
tpassword.setText();


Here it changes from grey color to black. All text is also cleared.
But it doesn't change to password type. Is this allowed to change
dynamically input type ?

Re: [android-developers] Inputtype for edit text not changing

2010-11-23 Thread Kostya Vasilyev


You are missing a flag to tell EditText that its contents is text:

setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT
| InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

or

setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT
| InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);

Note the use of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT.


You can also use android:hint in the XML file to specify text to display 
when the control is empty:


http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:hint

Not sure if this works for password fields, but should be easy to check.

Ravi,

How are you creating enitre_project.jar ?
You can export project as a JAR or EXECUTABLE JAR and from what I can
see, you need the later, which packages or expands all referenced
libraries into the resulting JAR file.

Separate question is, in why would you need this in the context of
Android development? You probably can achieve what you need, without
packaging the whole project into a single JAR file, but I am only
speculating here.

[android-developers] Re: LVL - Yay or Nay?

2010-11-23 Thread Yahel

 At this point I'm leaning towards no DRM... hopefully that's the right
 decision.

A good thing it is not an irreversible decision :D

Put your apps on the market with no DRM but a single call home via
http request at the very first start of the app.
In a month you'll be able to compare you're actual sales number to the
number of app which called home and estimate the piracy ratio of your
apps.

Then take the most pirated one, implement LVL just for this one. Wait
for a month and see if the piracy ratio changes enough to make it
worthwile to add LVL to your other apps.

And of course, be sure to report back here to us. I like beautiful
graphics and long analytic blog posts...Thank you very much :D

Good luck.

[android-developers] Doubt regarding redirection of websites to mobile version and address bar of browser.

Hi

1.

I am launching the browser in a normal way with URL supplied as
parameter,

Intent ln_intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
ln_intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(web_url), text/html);
startActivity(ln_intent);

here web_url is any web url.

This opens the browser with the mobile version of the
url(website) ,i.e. from the normal version it gets redirected to
mobile version.

Problem is when I press back address bar shows url of normal version
of the website but the page is blank , How can I overcome this problem.
(i.e. back should directly take me to last activity avoiding showing
the blank page)

2.
Is there any flag by which I can tell the browser to hide the address
bar ? (without using webview)

 Why not? If activity that is bound to Tab1 is ActivityGroup you can
 easily do it.

[android-developers] Re: google api ajax webservice

Using JSON array from the previous post , one can do like this ,

String res = json_arr.get(0).toString();  //To get the first result.
obj = (JSONObject) new JSONTokener(res).nextValue();
String url = obj.getString(url);   //assuming url is one of the
field in JSON response.

Now u can display this in listview.

[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences are not stored

2010-11-23 Thread Bob Kerns

I would bet that you are accessing a different set of preferences than
the ones you're saving in the preference screen.

The Preference screen uses the preference file returned from
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context); (context will
typically be 'this' -- your activity).

If you call getPreferences() on the activity, it returns one that is
private to the activity, which isn't what you want here.

 Hello everybody,

 This is my first question. I tried to ask in android-beginners, but
 the group is discontinued.

 My problem is using SharedPreferences. I just created a
 PreferenceScreen which holds inside a ListPreference with an array
 of 5 different values. Very simple! The array of values are different
 numbers: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 30.

 Every time I change the setting, the application remembers  that and I
 can see the setting I chose when I access the preferences once again
 (as an user). Now, in the code, when I retrieve the setting using the
 key (e.g. getString(delay, default_delay);), I always get the
 default value, it seems that the SharedPreferences does not find my
 setting.

 Can anybody help? I have read about
 SharedPreferences.getEditor().commit(), but that should be used only
 when changing settings from the code, not from the UI preferences.

 Anyone had this problem before?

 P.S.- I use Froyo 2.2 to run the application (on a Samsung Galaxy S).

[android-developers] Re: Creating 2D games with Android and Blender

2010-11-23 Thread Ruben

Hi Miguel,

I'm getting solid 60 fps on my Samsung Galaxy Spica (800 mhz
processor) for most levels. I have heard that does not work so well in
the HTC Magic...
CPU load is quite balanced between updating the scene and rendering
it, thus I could improve performance by optimizing the update phase
(collision detection is a good candidate) without changing the canvas
approach. I am an OpenGL lover, but unfortunatelly my phone has poor
support for it :(

The biggest problem was the handling of input events. It hurts
performance a lot by default. My solution is to save every motion
event data in the same variable, and processing the most recent one in
the main render loop/thread. This, incidentally, avoids some thread
synchronization problems.

On 23 nov, 09:13, Miguel Morales therevolti...@gmail.com wrote:
 Nice, I enjoyed the part of content creation.  I'm going to keep your
 suggestion of using a single bitmap with all the sprites instead of
 individual images.
 Although it's not terrible it does indeed have a performance impact.

 Are you getting good performance using this approach with canvas alone?
 In either case, good job.

[android-developers] Runtime Exception in MediaRecorder.setAudioSource() method

Hi, I have a service that has a broadcast receiver which listens to
Phone state changes.
When i receive an incoming call, i get an instance of the AudioManager
class and set the speakerphone to true.
But right after this when i do the
mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.setAudioSource.MIC), I get
a RunTime exception. Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong.
I have a GUI based version and that works perfect when I do this.
Except that it does not have a service and a Phonestatelistner. Can
someone help me with this? Thanks

 W/InputManagerService(  563): Got RemoteException sending
 setActive(false) notification to pid 723 uid 10019

 This error happens when the app is 'idling' (ie not doing anything
 other than redrawing the screen). There is no state change and no user
 input. The error occurs after the same amount of elapsed time whatever
 I set the frame rate of the app to and occurs both on the emulator and
 device. Changing what I display on screen can stop the error but there
 appears to be no logic to this (in one instance not drawing a large
 image stops the error but elsewhere just drawing some text causes the
 app to crash in the same manner).

 I am using SurfaceView for animations following the basic procedure in
 the Lunar Lander sample app.

 If anyone could help with this I would be *extremely* grateful as it
 has me completely stumped at the moment.

 best regards

[android-developers] Re: Initial position of scrollbar in ListView

Hi,

I think headers are the part of ListView (therefore 1st ListView
item), so you cannot make scrollbar at the top when the focus is on
the the next item. No so sure though.

[android-developers] https X509 webview

2010-11-23 Thread Seb

I need a webview which can connect and auth using x509 certs.

1. One idea which came to mind was that I could override or implement
some interface where I could use my own code for creating a secure
socket. However I cant seem to get started with this approche. I have
read the docs at 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebViewClient.html
and AFAI can see this would be the class to override. However I'm not
sure which methods I should replace.

2. Another way would be implementing the following steps:
connect, auth and read the data (the body part of the http response)
and load it into a webview
intercept onclick or url loading and manually use httplib (or
whatever) to read the data and finally load it into the webview again


The first idea seems to be the best from a beautiful code
perspective... but I need some pointers before thats possible for me.
The second solution seems like a hack which actually isnt that big a
deal since client certs (most likely) will be supported in futhere
versions of the android browser. However I'm not 100% sure that it
will actually work. Cookies is one thing which needs to be support by
the httplib in question and also shared with the webview in case
someone wants to use js to read cookies.


Best regards,
Seb

[android-developers] Android onClick seems to be blocking onFling

2010-11-23 Thread CB

I have an Activity that implements a Gesture Detector to catch the
user fling input for navigation to other screens. That was working
fine - but - I recently updated a class that derives from my
BaseActivity to add an onClick function and now that click event seems
to block the onFling from being hit. The onClick is tied to a TextView
area (in a LinearLayout) I have on my screen. The resultsClick method
is wired to the TextView using its onClick property in the XML layout.

I've tried changing the return values in onSingleTapUp and onDown
without luck. I've also tried adding log statements to all the
functions below as well. None of them fire when I fling in the
TextView area but they do on other areas of the screen.

Maybe I am using the wrong search terms, but I couldn't seem to find
an example that addressed this - yet I'm sure this problem has been
solved before.

public class DerivedActivity extends BaseActivity
{
   ...
   /**
* resultsClick - The user clicked on the Results area
* @param v
*/
   public void resultsClick(View v)
   {
  try
  {
 Log.i(this.toString(), resultsClick);
 startActivity(new Intent(this, Results_TabHost.class ));
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
 Log.e(this.toString(), Exception + e.toString());
  }

   }// end resultsClick
   ...
}

Here is the base class that implements the GestureListener code

public class BaseActivity extendsActivityGroup
  implements OnGestureListener
{
   ...
   private static final int SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE = 120;
   private static final int SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH = 250;
   private static final int SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY = 200;

   public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1,
  MotionEvent e2,
  float velocityX,
  float velocityY)
   {
  try
  {
 Log.i(this.toString(), onFling);

 // jump right out if not a swipe/fling
 if (Math.abs( e1.getY() - e2.getY() )  SWIPE_MAX_OFF_PATH)
 {
return false;
 }

 // right to left swipe
 if (e1.getX() - e2.getX()  SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE 
 Math.abs(velocityX)SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY )
 {
Log.i(this.toString(), fling left);
rightArrowClick(null);

 }
 else if (e2.getX() - e1.getX()  SWIPE_MIN_DISTANCE 
  Math.abs(velocityX)SWIPE_THRESHOLD_VELOCITY )
 {
Log.i(this.toString(), fling right);
leftArrowClick(null);
 }
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
 Log.e(this.toString(), Exception + e.toString());
  }

  return true;

   }// end onFling

   // These next methods we are required to have - even if unused -
   // in order for the Gesture Handling to work

   @Override
   public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent motionEvent)
   {
  if(this.gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(motionEvent))
  {
 return true;
  }

  //no gesture detected, let Activity handle touch event
  return super.onTouchEvent(motionEvent);
   }

   @Override
   public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e)
   {
  // Intentionally not handling - must be overridden by listener

   }

   @Override

distanceX, float distanceY)

[android-developers] Having trouble setting custom TitleView for a Dialog

2010-11-23 Thread William Ferguson

I am trying to create a dialog with a custom title and content views
but am running into ResourceNotFoundExceptions when I try and inflate
the views.

final TextView titleView = (TextView) View.inflate(activity,
R.id.how_to_play_dialog_title, null);

final WebView contentView = (WebView) View.inflate(activity,
R.id.how_to_play_dialog_text, null);
contentView.loadData(htmlbodysome text/body/html,
text/html, utf-8);

final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new
AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
builder.setCustomTitle(titleView);
builder.setView(contentView);

The above code throws the ResourceNotFound on each of the View
inflates even though I have res/layout/how_to_play_dialog.xml as the
follwing:


?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content


TextView android:id=@+id/how_to_play_dialog_title
  android:layout_width=fill_parent
  android:layout_height=wrap_content
  android:text=@string/how_to_play_dialog_title
  style=@style/dialogTitle
/

WebView android:id=@+id/how_to_play_dialog_text
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
/
/LinearLayout


I can retrieve the Views (using findViewById) if I inflate the entire
layout first, but then I need to remove the views from the layout
before adding them to the Dialog.

Can't I just inflate the Views directly, using View#inflate?


The actual stacktrace is:
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource

[android-developers] Re: Android calls to web service slow? Using .NET web service

I have a similar use case, although I am only POSTing data and it's a
simple RESTful service, but the data exchange mechanism is the same.
I haven't actually timed it but your times don't seem wildly out from
what I have seen.

One thing that stands out in your code is the timer.  You should
probably separate the timing for the execution of the web service (the
GET) and the data download.  You could also try (just as a test)
replacing the domain with an IP address to avoid the DNS overhead.

Basically I'm saying I think you need to break down the timings to
narrow down the scope of the problem.

IMO I don't think the while loop is the problem.. despite the fact
that it's pretty much the only way to get the data, I don't see how
just using a while loop would cause a delay, although you could try
reading raw bytes into a buffer and then encoding to a String at the
end.. but I doubt it would make much difference.

The final tip (if you aren't already) is to make this process
asynchronous.  800 milliseconds is an age when you're looking at the
UI waiting for a response, but if this can be done as an asynchronous
task while the user is kept busy with other things then it just ceases
to be a problem.  May not be suitable for your situation, but as a
general rule I always try to design apps (not just mobile) where
anything that may take some time is put off to one side while I keep
the user busy elsewhere.

Oh.. also.. if there are things that don't change frequently on your
server, you could consider implementing a simple local cache.  So you
only go to the web service after some sort of timeout, or if several
services relate to each other (ie same data from different service
endpoints) then you could just have one service that just a diff check
(ie. just asks if anything has changed) and if not uses local cache.
Just key the cache entry on the endpoint URL.

Good luck!

On Nov 23, 6:18 pm, Kumar Bibek coomar@gmail.com wrote:
 Well, my guess would be the long time can be attributed to the while loop
 you have. That is probably where your code is getting stuck.

 HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);

 Try putting the log after this line, and see the times. If its still quite a
 lot, then you have to worry.

[android-developers] Re: GPU

Are you saying you want to use the GPU to process raw data.. or just
to render graphics?

If it's the former then you'd certainly have to do this from native
code, and I doubt you would be able to access this without root access
on the device.

If it's the latter then the previous poster is correct, however if you
want to offload some of the processing of images and coordinate
translation to the GPU then you may need to use OpenGL.  I'm not 100%
sure how much of the Canvas API is deferred to the GPU but definitely
things like matrix transformations and image buffers are in hardware
with OpenGL.

[android-developers] Re: Is that possible to print backtrace when debug native code

If you want to just print a log line, you can do this with the log.h
library:

#include android/log.h

__android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_DEBUG, Category, Your message);

But you won't get a stack trace (I'm assume from backtrace you mean
stack trace?)

If you are trying to handle exceptions in C++ then I think you're
out of luck:

http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/89db67ed1fbf6450/6f156e8cd5b27193

You can however parse and interpret the native error trace with some
degree of success:

[android-developers] Keeping a service alive till the phone is switched off

2010-11-23 Thread David_Fisher

Hi, once we call the startService() method, can we keep the service
alive until its explicitly stopped by the user? I want my service to
stay alive until the phone is switched off. How can i do this? The
idea is that when I receive an incoming call, I want to start
recording and once the status changes to idle, I want to stop the
recording. I am doing this inside my service. It does work sometimes
and sometimes it doesn't. How can I implement such a thing in a
service? Can someone help me with this? Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Pubish: Target phones with fast hardware.

2010-11-23 Thread Warren

This is not a direct answer to your question, but have you tried
altering your models and images for less capable phones?

I've tried something like this with acceptable results. Probe the
screen size or do a CPU calculation check at startup, then reduce your
texture sizes or model detail accordingly.  Not ideal, but it works.

 What i need is target hardware like Memory, CPU, and OpenGL 2.

 I read a comment on this

 I really like this comment:

 *The problem here is not (and should never be) fixed by blocking specific
 devices. If anything, because the list of devices will soon be too large for
 a single person to handle. *
 *
 It should be handled by requiring the correct hardware, if the Market
 doesn't already support that. Barcode Scanner, for example, could require
 auto-focus camera (there are already means for requiring a camera, for
 example; we just need a requirement for auto-focus). Raging Thunder 2 should
 ask for OpenGL ES 2, or a certain amount of VRAM, or whatever.

 *
 *tl;dr the Market needs many improvements, but blacklisting or whitelisting
 devices is a horrible solution. Check for hardware capabilities.***
 *
 *
 Basically android already supports this partially with the uses-feature in
 the xml manifest. However there should be more support for the hardware
 types i mentioned.

 So: How should i do it now? And how is this going to be supported in the
 future?
 My only option now is to detect it on startup and give an alert box to the
 user that it doesnt work on their phone.
 However then my whole sale-model is ruined.

 2010/11/20 DutchAndroidGuru dutchandroidg...@gmail.com







  I have an application that loads a 3dmodel and renders it. These
  models are rather big and i can only get it to work fast on faster
  hardware phones such as the Nexus One. However there is no way to
  target faster hardware phones.
  Now i get very good ratings (on phones where it work) and very bad
  rating (on slow phones).

  Also: i would like to know the phone type when a user comments. In
  this way i can test it and check whether the user had a valid point or
  not.
  Could you please add this? Same for error reports.

[android-developers] Intent and extras

2010-11-23 Thread oriharel

Hi!
I set an PendingIntent on a Notification
(notification.setLatestEventInfo). this intent is actually the same
intent used to launch my app, only with a flag that I put in the extra
(intent.putExtra(TAB_INDEX_PARAM_NAME, UPDATES_TAB_INDEX)).

So my first activity launches, it queries it's intent's extras and
immediately navigates to an Alerts activity rather the normal activity
on a regular launch.

The problem:
from this point, every activation of my app navigates to this Alerts
activity. when debugged, I find that the flag is stuck in the intent
even though I removed/changed it. it just won't change.

do you know how can change an extra on a giving Intent?

If you wish to modify the extras associated with an Intent in a
PendingIntent, you do so by passing FLAG_UPDATE _CURRENT or
FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT to the getActivity() call on the PendingIntent
class. Otherwise, even though your Intent extras may change, Android
will ignore them and use the Intent already registered as a
PendingIntent.

If you use startForeground(), that will help prevent the OS from

 The
 idea is that when I receive an incoming call, I want to start

Please listen for the broadcast Intents about phone state changes.
Please do not use a PhoneStateListener for this, forcing you to keep

Also, bear in mind that you have no access to the in-call audio, so
unless you are running in speakerphone mode, I fail to see how you can

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to change color of ListView child items on focus

Changing the background color is too much code, however, although it works.

A better way to get this going is by using StateListDrawables. Create your
own state list drawable, and set it as the background to each of your items,
or the as the selector of the ListView.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Spinner Style

Ummm, on mobile devices, it's not a good way to display a equivalent of HTML
select You cannot achieve what you are looking for by using the default
Spinner.

However, I think you can try and change the behaviour by extending the
Spinner class. Just my guess, never thought about it, and  never tried it.

You do not run MP4Box on the device.

Either this is your video, or it is not.

If it is your video, on your PC, run MP4Box on the video file, and
arrange it so your device can download the repaired file.

If this is not your video, you simply cannot play it streaming. You
are welcome to download the video and play it locally.

If by device you mean Android device, then no. MP4Box runs on a
Windows, OS X, or Linux computer. You use it to fix up an MP4 file,
such that it is safe for streaming. Then, you can upload that video
file to your Web server, and Android devices will be able to stream
it.

If feasible you may want to try without GZIP. It should be a bit

 Hey guys,
 This is my first post to the Android Developers group. I have been
 working with HTTP communication in the Android SDK and have noticed
 that calls to a web service through my app are very slow (taking
 800+ms on high speed wifi). They take less than 100ms if I call the
 web service through the phone's browser. I am developing on a Google
 Nexus One. The size of the data returned is very small, 1K. I have
 tried enabling gzip compression, and that helps slightly but I assume
 there is another problem at hand. I have tried using SOAP with the
 ksoap2-android library, as well as making things simple using
 HttpClient and InputStreamReader. Below is my code for the fastest I
 can make the app perform; using no SOAP, and using GZIP compression. I
 apologize for the lengthy code -- I think all of it is beneficial for
 determining the best way to make this request and response happen
 faster.

 public String GetRest()
         {

         long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
         String result = ;

         Log.v(time, Beginning rest:  + (System.currentTimeMillis() -

[android-developers] Re: Android onClick seems to be blocking onFling

I think that onClick() is an Override event. I am not to familiar with
your onFling but if its a user created class it will most likely
remain dormant due to the the digitizer recognizing the onClick and
not registering your onFling.

On Nov 23, 8:17 am, CB cbu...@gmail.com wrote:
 I have an Activity that implements a Gesture Detector to catch the
 user fling input for navigation to other screens. That was working
 fine - but - I recently updated a class that derives from my
 BaseActivity to add an onClick function and now that click event seems
 to block the onFling from being hit. The onClick is tied to a TextView
 area (in a LinearLayout) I have on my screen. The resultsClick method
 is wired to the TextView using its onClick property in the XML layout.

 I've tried changing the return values in onSingleTapUp and onDown
 without luck. I've also tried adding log statements to all the
 functions below as well. None of them fire when I fling in the
 TextView area but they do on other areas of the screen.

 Maybe I am using the wrong search terms, but I couldn't seem to find
 an example that addressed this - yet I'm sure this problem has been
 solved before.

 public class DerivedActivity extends BaseActivity

    /**
     * resultsClick - The user clicked on the Results area
     * @param v

    public void resultsClick(View v)
    {

       }
       catch (Exception e)
       {
          Log.e(this.toString(), Exception + e.toString());
       }

    }// end resultsClick

[android-developers] Re: 1.5 quits for apparently no reason whilst animating (WIN DEATH)

2010-11-23 Thread Muleskinner

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply. It's quite difficult to post code as there's a
whole bunch of APIs I've ported over from JavaME that make up what's
going on. I am going to try and whittle everything down to a simple
test case.

The basic 'draw' loop is the same as in the 'Lunar Lander' source,
repeat the following within a 'run' loop...

private final void drawToScreen(Rect rect)
{
android.graphics.Canvas c = null;
try
{
//
// get a surface to draw on and notify that drawing is about to
begin
//
c = getHolder().lockCanvas(null);
synchronized (getHolder())
{
// do the drawing
onDraw(c);
}
}
finally
{
// do this in a finally so that if an exception is thrown
// during the above, we don't leave the Surface in an
// inconsistent state
if (c != null)
{
// ok - we've finishsed drawing
getHolder().unlockCanvasAndPost(c);
}
}
}

[android-developers] Re: App missing from market on 2.2 devices.

2010-11-23 Thread Andreas

Ok, that's probably it. I didn't follow the discussion around the
licensing server and that's probably why i missed it.

I'll change it and get some of my customers to check for me :-)

Thank you!

Andreas

[android-developers] Background error reporting on HttpPost

I am running a background service were data is posted to an online
site that process the information to post to online database. The
problem i am encountering is that with the data being posted if there
is an error there is not immediate way for me to know. i am
considering several options. First is having a handler on the website
to send me and email that there was error parsing the data. But the
problem here is that this has its own restriction with getting and
receiving data. Also if the site is down there would be no immediate
verifier for me. The idea would be that there is an critical fail post
to the phone. I execute the connection and there is no problem and the
data is passed to my parameter holder it then send the data to site.
Data is processed and even though there is an error on the side of the
side there is nothing to tell me so on the phone. I necessarily dont
need the user to know that it failed but I need something phone side
to tell me there is a problem. Any ideas?

Why does your view have to be shaped like a diamond? Can you just use a
diamond-shaped image on an ImageView?
