[android-developers] How to listen for ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE while Move2SD is enabled?
Hi Guys, I have an application which I'm going to enable Move to SD for. The problem is that I have some scheduled alarms (for running some background tasks) so if the application has already been moved to SD and the SD is mounted as a disk drive, all my scheduled alarms and background services will be terminated. Obviously my app should listen for ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE broadcast to register/schedule the alarms again as a classic solution... Now the problem I'm facing is that the applications which have been moved to SD wouldn't receive ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE! The end result is that my application will never be able to resume its alarms and services in such cases!! Further reference (notice the sentence Note that the packages in this list do not receive this broadcast): http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/content/Intent.html#A CTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE Also I've found a bug reported for this problem but it's still not accepted after 7 months: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8485 Any solution? Any clues? Armond -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] UnknownFormatConversionException for resource strings for different locale
It looks like Android is interpreting the Chinese character as a conversion specifier (like s is for String, d is for decimal, etc.). Try adding a space after the s in %1$s. Also make sure the s is a good and proper ASCII character. Also the double-quotes that you've placed around the string value are not necessary, is that a typo? -- Kostya 02.01.2011 12:55, Suresh Pal пишет: Hi All, I am stuck with some resource localization problem.

[android-developers] Re: Screen Rotation
I am not sure, if you just want to stop your app to change orientation on rotating. But if thats the case, along with the line you mentioned android:configChanges=orientation|keyboardHidden which tells the system that app will be handling the orientation change, you need to add the following line to in manifest.xml android:screenOrientation=portrait or landscape, depending upon your choice.

[android-developers] Making my app a library, resource problems
Okay, in order to make it easier (I hope) to have both a Licensed full version, and a Demo version of my app, I've converted my App project in Eclipse into an Android Library project. I created a new Library project, the copied all the source and resources over, set the manifest values, etc... I then created a new App project to be the licensed version. It uses the library project. What I'm seeing is that the App project builds a R.java for both the App and the Library. BUT it builds the one for the library incorrectly. It's leaving out several resources from my portrait layout. When the Library project is build, it's R.java has all the resources. Note: It's also interesting that the App project builds an R.java for the App, and an R.java for the Library project - and they are IDENTICAL. This also indicates that you have to be really careful about not having conflicting resource names between and App and a Library it uses. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

And I figured it out! Eclipse had created a default main.xml in my App layout directory, and was using that for generated resource ID's instead of the main.xml in my Library project.

[android-developers] Re: How many refunds do you get.
Brian, Out of my last 80 sales for FRG Deluxe, 2 were declined and 8 were canceled. I recently lowered the price for the holidays from $3 to $0.99; before December my refund rate was about 15%. Having played Doodle Bike and some of your competitors' games (MX Moto, Moto X Mayhem), I think there is room for improvement in Doodle Bike. For example, I get hopelessly stuck on the 2nd level of Doodle Bike (Lite). If I had paid any amount of money to get stuck at level 2, I'd refund. I'm not fond of MX Moto for the same reason but atleast I get a funny rag doll animation when I smash my rider into the ground. I haven't played Moto X Mayhem since ADC2 but I recall being able to get reasonably far and enjoying it more than most games in ADC2. The polish of the game back then was really good and smashing the rag doll into the ground got a bizarre amount of amusement from me. Maybe I just suck at these games - it's challenge enough for me to keep the bike steady when making jumps. Please note that not everybody understands the idioms of your game and that you are less qualified to judge difficulty because you are an expert at playing your own game. For FRG I periodically gave the game to my wife and watched as she played. I used her as a baseline for how long a neophyte takes to finish levels. For the record she does play a lot of games (married her for a reason!) but FRG is a genre she has little experience with. I also used my ability to play FRG as an indicator of an expert's experience. Given user feedback, I've also made the targeting system simpler and easier over time. FRG with multitouch sticks or auto-targeting (for single-touch users) makes me godlike at my own game but for other players, may be the difference between sticking with the game and uninstalling/refunding out of frustration.

Re: [android-developers] Does SoftReference calls .recyle() on a Bitmap ?
That question doesn't really make sense -- SoftReference has no idea what a Bitmap is. If you are wondering whether the bitmap data will *eventually* be released, well of course -- once all references to the Bitmap go away, its finalizer will eventually be called and that ensures its resources are released.

[android-developers] AudioTrack.write blocks in multi-threaded app
I would really appreciate some advice on using AudioTrack. I need to
be able to play a number of audio signals on demand, potentially mixed
together.
I have no problem setting AudioTrack up and writing an audio buffer to
it (originally captured by another Android device's AudioRecord and
received via network). However, when I try to put AudioTrack in its
own Runnable class, I run into problems. My current implementation
instantiates the AudioTrack in the constructor and, to keep things
simple, the run() function is a while loop that checks a Buffer queue
(modified version of http://www.siafoo.net/snippet/216 to use short
instead of byte) and writes anything over 100 bytes to AudioTrack. The
buffer queue fills fine, but as soon as I try to write it, the
AudioTrack blocks.
I am really not sure what relevant code to post, but here is a version
of my AudioTrack Runnable code with the irrelevant code missing:
public class SoundIn implements Runnable{
BufferQueue m_queue = null;
// Audio track to output audio on phone
AudioTrack m_audioTrack = null;
// Buffer size required to support AudioTrack
int m_BufferSize;
short[] m_outbuf;
public SoundIn(BufferQueue queue)
{
m_queue = queue;
// Get minimum supported buffer size
m_BufferSize = AudioTrack.getMinBufferSize(11025,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT);
// Initialize a streaming audio track with minimum-size buffer
m_audioTrack = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 11025,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_CONFIGURATION_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, m_BufferSize,
AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);
m_audioTrack.play();
}
public void run()
{
int minsize;
m_outbuf = new short[5];
while(true)
{
minsize = //...Get available data size
if (minsize == 0)
{
Log.d(SoundIn, Sleeping...);
try{Thread.sleep(100);}
catch (Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
continue;
}
//read available bytes from queue
m_queue().read(m_outbuf, 0, minsize);
//Gets here with m_outbuf correctly holding data
m_audioTrack.write(m_outbuf,0,minsize);
//Never gets here
}
}
}
Any suggestions on why the AudioTrack.write call might block in a
situation like this would be greatly appreciated.

[android-developers] Purpose of AsyncTask.get()
I learned the hard way that in android dialogs are modal in the interface but completely asynchronous in program workflow. I think that this will be nice to be more clear in the documentation because if not is easy to make confusion and expect dialogs to work as usually (for example in Swing). Also .get() in AsyncTask makes some confusion to me, I initially expect to be a synchronous solution that doesn't block the EDT like Foxtrot. But it doesn't work that say, does it? Then my question is, what's the purpouse of .get(), someone can give some good use of it?

[android-developers] Eclipse never sees AVDs anymore
I recently upgraded to Helios and installed the latest and greatest SDK, ADT, and everything else I could think of. Eclipse no longer sees the AVDs when launching (debugging) the app. I tried deleting all my old AVDs and making new ones, but it's just hopeless, nothing fixes the problem. It simply can't see the AVDs. I've set my run configuration target to manual (instead of automatic). When I attempt to run or debug my app, I get the dialog with two sections, one on top of devices and one below for AVDs. The top section shows my phone plugged in my USB and I can run on the phone just fine, but the lower section (Launch a new Android Virtual Device) doesn't list anything. I can easily verify that the AVDs exist by going WindowMenu-AndroidSDKAndAVDManager. It shows my AVDs with green checkmarks. If I launch an AVD from that dialog, I can then run on it, but it appears in the top section of the launch dialog, with the devices (with my phone), the lower portion for AVDs remains empty. It's frustrating to have to manually launch the AVD now. I certainly did not have to do this before. I'm running Eclipse Helios, with ADT 8.0.1.v201012061207-82219.

[android-developers] Creating complex queries for SQLite

[android-developers] Re: How many refunds do you get.
Well I just released another update, because just watching my self play I realized how little I was actually tilting the phone, and watching other people play my game they tilt it very far, but I will make the levels easier and of course polish it up more, I'm also going to put in something in so you can pick your own sensitivity, but I believe your very right, because the free version the reviews are not to good (3 stars) and on the payed version i have (5 stars) I'm thinking if they pick it up quick and are good they will like it, if they replay it many times over they wont like it, but if you play mxmoto and you hold your phone straight you cant lose, I'll be adding sound and the ability to pick your sensitivity, and also make the first levels easier by a bit in the next week i guess, any more suggestions, well when it comes to fun at least because, I had around 2000 free version downloads but less then 50 full version downloads so somewhere in my game people are not liking it.

Having played Doodle Bike and some of your competitors' games (MX Moto, Moto X Mayhem), I think there is room for improvement in Doodle Bike. For example, I get hopelessly stuck on the 2nd level of Doodle Bike (Lite). If I had paid any amount of money to get stuck at level 2, I'd refund. I'm not fond of MX Moto for the same reason but atleast I get a funny rag doll animation when I smash my rider into the ground. I haven't played Moto X Mayhem since ADC2 but I recall being able to get reasonably far and enjoying it more than most games in ADC2. The polish of the game back then was really good and smashing the rag doll into the ground got a bizarre amount of amusement from me. Maybe I just suck at these games - it's challenge enough for me to keep the bike steady when making jumps. Please note that not everybody understands the idioms of your game and that you are less qualified to judge difficulty because you are an expert at playing your own game. For FRG I periodically gave the game to my wife and watched as she played. I used her as a baseline for how long a neophyte takes to finish levels. For the record she does play a lot of games (married her for a reason!) but FRG is a genre she has little experience with. I also used my ability to play FRG as an indicator of an expert's experience. Given user feedback, I've also made the targeting system simpler and easier over time. FRG with multitouch sticks or auto-targeting (for single-touch users) makes me godlike at my own game but for other players, may be the difference between sticking with the game and uninstalling/refunding out of frustration.

[android-developers] Re: Building a Custom Browser
The goal of my new web browser is to render web pages in different fonts that have more unicode implementations than the ones that are already supplied with the firmware/OS (For example languages like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, etc etc implimentations doesn't come standard with android OS fonts) this makes it impossible for users to view websites in those languages. Yes this could be a contribution to the standard OS, but it is hard to convince anybody that ALL the people who use Android OS should have ALL the unicode implementations of EVERY language in the world. Therefore I believe this app should be standalone so that those who needs it can download it separate. Yes I already have an app in the android market (named Tamil Browser) that was built around the webView. But the features of this browser is limited. But the biggest problem with this app is I cannot make my trick work for websites that use iFrames. I don't want re-invent the wheel and write the whole browser app from scratch either. So I still believe copying the standard browser app and make a new standalone browser is my best bet. Does anybody have a better idea how I can do this?

[android-developers] Help using SQLite as a method for storing and loading precets
Alright I have been working on a chess clock of epic proportions and
almost have it up and running. But for the last and coolest part of
its functionality I have hit a wall and would appreciate some help.
The story so far:
The DatabaseHelper class can successfully add rows to the data base
which happens in an activity called add precept. I have pulled the db
file off the device and viewed it with SQLite viewer and all is well.
When I try to load one of the rows and use the data for the main
activities state things begin to go astray.
I have a method in the main activity called setClocks its a wrapper
class that uses the DatabaseHelper method getEntry to fill a MyObject
which has all the data I need to set the apps state. Please help me
figure out why a call of setClocks(1); results in an exception no row
found.
Here is the code:
[code]
//The wrapper class in the main activity
public void setClocks(long index) {
MyObject data;
dbh.open();
data = dbh.getEntry(index);
if( data.handiState == white ) {
ctBlack.SetTime(data.timeInMills);
ctWhite.SetTime(data.timeInMills +
data.handiTimeInMills);
} else if( data.handiState == black ) {
ctWhite.SetTime(data.timeInMills);
ctBlack.SetTime(data.timeInMills +
data.handiTimeInMills);
} else if ( data.handiState == none ) {
ctBlack.SetTime(data.timeInMills);
ctWhite.SetTime(data.timeInMills);
}
isFisher = Boolean.parseBoolean(data.isFisher);
fisherTimeInMills = data.fisherTimeInMills;
dbh.close();
}
//The DatabaseHelper method
public MyObject getEntry(long _rowIndex) throws SQLException {
Cursor cursor = db.query(true, DATABASE_TABLE,
null, KEY_ID + = + _rowIndex, null, null, null, null,
null);
if ((cursor.getCount() == 0) || !cursor.moveToFirst()) {
throw new SQLException(No to do item found for row: +
_rowIndex);
}
MyObject entry = new MyObject();
entry.name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_NAME));
entry.timeInMills = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_TIM));
entry.handiTimeInMills =
cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_HTIM));
entry.fisherTimeInMills =
cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_FTIM));
entry.handiState = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_HCS));
entry.isFisher = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(KEY_IF));
return entry;
}
//Definition of my object
public class MyObject {
public String name;
public long timeInMills;
public long fisherTimeInMills;
public long handiTimeInMills;
public String isFisher;
public String handiState;
}
[/code]
If I call setClocks(1); in the onCreate of the main activity the app
crashes with the could not find row exception. I know their is a row
with an _id of 1 I can see it on my desktop. I want to load the first
precet when the app loads and then in the onCreateOptionsMenu I have
an option to select a preset. When this is selected it displays a
dialog with a spinner and 2 buttons one for loading the selected
preset and one for removing the selected preset from the database.
Here is my attempt at that. It loads the dialog and the dialog is
populated by the database but when I press load it just goes back to
the main activity with the timers as they where.
[code]
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch( item.getItemId() ) {
case R.id.Menu_LoadPreff:
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.setTitle(Pick a precet);
dialog.setCancelable(true);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.precetselector);
final Spinner spinner = (Spinner)
dialog.findViewById(R.id.SpinPrecet);
dbh.open();
Cursor select = dbh.getAllEntries();
SimpleCursorAdapter myAdapt = new
SimpleCursorAdapter(dialog.getContext(),
android.R.layout.two_line_list_item, select, new String[]
{DatabaseHelper.KEY_NAME, DatabaseHelper.KEY_ID,}, new int[]
{android.R.id.text1});
spinner.setAdapter(myAdapt);
dialog.show();
Button load, delete;
load = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.PrecetLoad);
delete = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.PrecetDelete);
load.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
setClocks(spinner.getSelectedItemPosition()+1);
dialog.dismiss();
dbh.close();

[android-developers] Re: Memory Leak in 1.6
Thanks for the response. I have worked out a work-around which fixes the problem. Instead of setting the view group via setContentView(vg), I am now setting a FrameLayout as the content view, and then setting the view group as the child of the FrameLayout. In addition, it was necessary to not remove the old view when setting a new view, but rather hide it. Then when subsequent views are set, the oldest view is removed. It seems that the problem stems from removing a view while processing a message from a child control in that view. If I don't do that, then the view is properly recycled. Again note that this seems to be a problem only for 1.6 (and possibly earlier). It seems to work properly with 2.0 and above.

[android-developers] Re: Building a Custom Browser
((bangs head on keyboard)). I've been trying to convince people that an incomplete font is BROKEN and not worthy of shipping with a system for 20 years. And I've spent way too much time mixing and matching incomplete fonts trying to get a complete font. I going nuts right now because for some reason, since the last time I edited the Japanese version of my strings.xml, Japanese text started showing up in Eclipse as square boxes. At first I tried using MS Mincho for everything, but it really isn't very readable for non- Japanese characters. I have managed to get it working again by downloading the Japanese localized messages for Windows 7, but that really should not be necessary. The FONT doesn't take up a lot of space, but all that localized text (which I probably will never use) does take up a lot of space. Given what you're trying to do, I don't have a better idea (other than submitting it as a bug and encouraging people to vote for it -- I'd be the first in line!). The existing browser is broken (by the broken platform fonts). You're supplying a fixed version. Of course, if you have a set of publicly-distributable unicode fonts you can contribute to the platform, maybe you can convince them to make it a required part of the platform. But for your immediate needs -- I think you're going to need to treat this as a porting project, rather than an SDK project, as you'll be working with platform sources that aren't set up to build against the SDK. You'll need to ask questions about getting it built on the porting list. You'll also need to change the package name, as you won't be able to install it as a replacement (because of the different signing key). Given the size of the Indian and other Asian markets, supporting Tamil, Telegu, etc seems like a real easy decision to make. And given that free translation services are readily available, anyone, anywhere, at any time, may find themselves looking at some Tamil text, recognize it as at least being foreign, and send it off to be translated. Nobody, anywhere, anytime, wants to see perfectly good human-readable text rendered as blank rectangles! Tamil is much prettier to look at. On Jan 2, 3:50 pm, Pathman suthars...@gmail.com wrote: The goal of my new web browser is to render web pages in different fonts that have more unicode implementations than the ones that are already supplied with the firmware/OS (For example languages like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, etc etc implimentations doesn't come standard with android OS fonts) this makes it impossible for users to view websites in those languages. Yes this could be a contribution to the standard OS, but it is hard to convince anybody that ALL the people who use Android OS should have ALL the unicode implementations of EVERY language in the world. Therefore I believe this app should be standalone so that those who needs it can download it separate. Yes I already have an app in the android market (named Tamil Browser) that was built around the webView. But the features of this browser is limited. But the biggest problem with this app is I cannot make my trick work for websites that use iFrames. I don't want re-invent the wheel and write the whole browser app from scratch either.

Look into bitmap mutations? http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/drawable-mutations.html On Dec 31 2010, 11:22 pm, John Gaby jg...@gabysoft.com wrote: I have custom skinned buttons. I set the bitmaps for the button backgrounds using the addState method of the StateListDrawable class and pass in a BitmapDrawable which is loaded from a file on the SD card. Now I am having out of memory issues, so I thought that I would try and cache the BitmapDrawable and reuse them for all the buttons on a page, rather than creating a new one for each button. However, when I do this, the buttons don't display correctly. For example if I have two buttons of different sizes, the background is drawn at the same size for both, rather than have each scale. Also, if one button on the page is hidden, then the backgrounds for some of the other (still visible) buttons disappear. This does not happen if I create separate BitmapDrawable objects for each of the buttons. My question is, am I supposed to be able to reuse these objects in this manner? If not, how can I keep from duplicating the memory required to skin each button on a page?

Re: [android-developers] about Android apps automatically update
And it actually has nothing to do with the platform version, but just the version of Market on the device. As of 1.6 the Market app can self-update itself, so users should generally be running the most recent version of Market (which supports automatic updates) regardless of the version of their platform.
