[android-developers] Re: Help with animation
Thanks, Doug.I am basically trying to achieve the same effect that happens when you tap the More button on the new Market app when you want to see more of an apmp's description. Everything below the description slides down smoothly revealing the full text. On Dec 25, 11:52 am, Doug beafd...@gmail.com wrote: I think View1 is always going to have an intrinsic height of its measured height for the layout. That is to say, an animation isn't going to change a view's measured height over time, it will just change the way it appears on screen over the duration of the animation. The mere presence of View1 in your layout will cause the layout to set aside its measured dimensions. I could be wrong, but I don't think an animation with a layout like this is going to achieve the effect you're looking for. You may have to do something where you change the measured height of the view over time and invalidate the view/layout at every tick to get it to re- render everything.

[android-developers] Drawing text on a Bitmap (rather than Canvas)
Hi,
I am drawing some text on a Canvas, and on a Bitmap, respectively:
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawText(Canvas text, 10, 10, mPaint);
Canvas singleUseCanvas = new Canvas();
singleUseCanvas.setBitmap(mBitmap);
singleUseCanvas.drawText(Bitmap text, 10, 30, mPaint);
}
In the former case, the text renders as you would expect, while in the
latter, it appears very rough and ugly. This becomes even more problematic
when using e.g.
canvas.drawBitmapMesh(...);
to apply transformations to the bitmap. Am I doing something wrong, or is
the quality simply deteriorated when you pass from Canvas to Bitmap?
On a side note, the reason why I'm drawing text on a Bitmap is to obtain a
magnifier effect on the text in question (like Apple OSX's dock), since I
can then apply arbitrary transformations to it using a bitmap mesh. Is there
another, perhaps better, way to do this?
Best,
Michael

Re: [android-developers] Drawing text on a Bitmap (rather than Canvas)
Since you mention magnification, and it looks like you are using the
same mPaint object for both drawText calls, I guess you scale up the
contents of singleUseCanvas to achive that. That's the reason for the
roughness of text.
Make sure you render text into singleUseCanvas at magnified size, so no
further scaling is necessary (when drawing mBitmap to the screen).
Also try setting mPaint.setAntiAlias(true)

[android-developers] Re: Which JSON Parser is better
Pull parsing is absolutely a favorite in mobile. While I agree with Jake, one thing to consider is a fundamental conceptual decision that is baked into the question whether to employ a tree parser or a streaming parser. Typically, this cannot be optimized away later, and may drive a fundamental overhaul (refactorization) of the app. In my experience, parsing non trivial data streams (JSON, XML, others) in a mobile environment needs to have the following characteristics: 1. Maintains a small memory footprint, as mentioned 2. Allows to immediately draw data as the parser moves along. This is important due to the often slow connections - it keeps users entertained (this falls into the subjective user satisfaction category) and informed 3. Can be instantly stopped at any point. When users start seeing the data unfold (see 2.), users may want to stop the potentially long data pull. The app needs to be able to respond to this request on the spot On Dec 25, 7:37 am, ko5tik kpriblo...@yahoo.com wrote: Built in JSON is adequate, but as every DOM-Kind of parser pretty memory consuming.

[android-developers] Re: Which JSON Parser is better
Because objects in JSON are unordered (An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs.), a pull parser is going to have to work a bit differently. One way to make it work is to pass in a map of continuations, or an object or class with methods selected with reflection. However, I have reservations about the whole pull-parsing paradigm when combined with unordered objects, because if you have dependencies in the processing of the fields, it may appear to work OK -- until the order changes, perhaps with a server reboot, or unrelated code change, or anything at all. This sort of situation can make for bugs that are VERY hard to test for and VERY hard to debug -- and often, VERY hard to fix. But if you approach it with the right discipline... Of course, a downside is that discipline might entail designing the JSON payload to use arrays instead of objects. This would impose a readability and upward compatibility cost on the content. (But on the other hand, it'd be a bit more compact and efficient). Still, I think it is prudent to not consider a pull parser for JSON until and unless you have a demonstrated performance problem to solve. The issue doesn't arise to the same degree in XML, because at the level of XML itself, order is meaningful and preserved, even if a higher level may consider order unimportant. XML generators have the ability to control the order of elements; JSON generators do not.

Re: [android-developers] Drawing text on a Bitmap (rather than Canvas)
Michael, Interesting. I actually got curious about this. I added a call to drawBitmapMesh, stretching the first column (out of 4), and mapping the rest one to one. As you can see in this link, the bitmap is still perfect where it's not stretched. http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/a/1/upload/fe1ce910.png Stretching is another matter, and it would be a good idea to pick a font size for the off-screen bitmap so that drawBitmapMesh only shrinks, never enlarges, any bitmap area. The small difference you are seeing (I am seeing it too in the link above) is due to my using ARGB_ for the offscreen bitmap. I just verified that ARGB_ gives exact match (as it should). However, you're seeing distortion even when there is no mapping. So, for your reference, I pasted my code here (really simple, really): http://pastebin.com/5e1C5irq Hope you can spot a difference somewhere. -- Kostya 25.12.2010 22:52, MichaelF ?: Hi again, I see.

[android-developers] Is there a Horizontal ListView?
There is apparently no horizontal ListView? Gallery widget comes really close except that it is stuck on keeping the selected item in the center. So you get the first item in the center with empty space on the left side of the window. That makes sense for that widget but it is not quite the same as a horizontal ListView.

[android-developers] Re: Which JSON Parser is better
Until you get up to **at least** 10K of JSON (maybe 1M, depending on the overall app size) there's no point in worrying about pull parsing. Reading and parsing the entire JSON file at once will increase temporarily the amount of heap used, but it's hardly a blip in most environments. On Dec 25, 11:14 am, JP joachim.pfeif...@gmail.com wrote: Pull parsing is absolutely a favorite in mobile. While I agree with Jake, one thing to consider is a fundamental conceptual decision that is baked into the question whether to employ a tree parser or a streaming parser. Typically, this cannot be optimized away later, and may drive a fundamental overhaul (refactorization) of the app. In my experience, parsing non trivial data streams (JSON, XML, others) in a mobile environment needs to have the following characteristics: 1. Maintains a small memory footprint, as mentioned 2. Allows to immediately draw data as the parser moves along. This is important due to the often slow connections - it keeps users entertained (this falls into the subjective user satisfaction category) and informed 3. Can be instantly stopped at any point.

I guess you can say any particular widget is not necessary because the functionally can be done in a different way. But UI designers don't take the API doesn't do that as a reason for changing the design. There are lots of posts in this forum with developers asking for horizontal scrolling and horizontal list views. It's a natural UI design element for some kinds of lists. It behaves somewhat like a drop down list (in that is is expandable) without obscuring the other widgets on the screen. The user can drag it (scroll) back and forth. I just completed an app for a client that is on the market which makes heavy use of horizontal list views. This was done with Gallery but the drawbacks are as noted above.

Kostya, thanks for your time. This is strange... I've literally pasted your code into my view, and the problem persists (same results for ARGB_ and ARGB_ configs).

Correct, you cannot compile these modules with the SDK alone. You need to download the platform source and compile those. I don't know the details.
