Re: [android-developers] Re: What is the name of this widget?
I believe the screenshot comes from an HTC device. If so, then the widget and the application using it are part of HTC Sense UI (I'm too lazy to go look at my Hero right now to check). They do a lot of custom things in Sense, like scrolling and re-configurable widgets. And while owners of HTC phones would like to see other applications looking like Sense, owners of other brands of phones might actually not want the HTC look. Speaking for myself - I now prefer plain Android 2.1 on my Motorola Milestone to heavily customized 2.1 on HTC Hero. Looked at an HTC Desire HD in a store yesterday, and Sense is even more complex and in-your-face there, so I will not be buying that phone just for that reason alone. ( guess I'm more of a vi than an emacs kind of guy :) ) -- Kostya 10.01.2011 10:07, MerlinBG ?: Thank you for the help, the proposed widget looks good. metal mikey, I am interested not in date/time entering, but in a way to enter numbers - something like the NumberPicker, which seems to be internal, and for the means I need it - the wheel looks cooler. Having this in mind and since while browsing group I see that framework engineers are quite active, I would like to share my first impression as complete Android developer newbie - I LOVE the platform as a user, however as developer I see some strange things - like really useful components staying internal for ages (like https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroupspli=1#!searchin/android-developers/numberpicker/android-developers/ZdqYIJmP3ck/SXmDORRPE1QJ and several more topics about the NumberPicker), now this wheel thing not even in platform, but I see it on my phone? Keeping widgets public would result in cooler applications, boosting the interest to the platform even further.

[android-developers] Re: What is the name of this widget?
That said, the current standard widget pretty much sucks rocks. We also know it sucks rocks, and have desperately wanted to redo it since 1.0. It would be nice to fix that as part of a larger UI overhaul. Not that I am promising anything. :) If you could also make NumberPicker public during the overhaul that would be great :-) Pent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Change the background of an AppWidget
I think if you're feeling masochistic, you could create 9 images and do some kind of manual 9-patch image with e.g. table or linear layout views. Just like in bad old HTML times... ;) If your dynamically created images aren't too complex, you might also use something similar to the XML shape drawables. Opposed to 9- patch drawables, XML drawables always were scaled correctly if I set them with setImageViewResource. Maybe it works likewise if you create a Drawable object like GradientDrawable dynamically? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: RPC service with notification
Jackie,
I already gave you one suggestion, it had to do with
AndroidServiceImpl.class.
Here is another:
If inner classes are a new thing to you, don't use one, they can be
confusing at first.
Make a method in your Service class proper, call it from inside
AndroidServiceImpl, and then you're back inside your service class, and
on sample code territory.
Also, using a non-static inner class for the binder (like you are doing)
causes a memory leak. Here is someone's very nice blog post explaining
why this happens and what to do about it:

I think the real problem is with the context in the Impl. Can I even
get an application context from the impl? Should this be passed to the

Yes, you are right, it is from HTC Desire.

[android-developers] Re: What's new in honeycomb?
I don't know if I get a bit off-topic, but it's still related to Honeycomb and tablets: I've seen several apps in the Honeycomb videos which displayed in one screen what must've been multiple Activities before, like e.g. the mail list and single mail view. Will there be an easy way to support multiple visible Activities, or is it just hard work to create mightier Widgets (e.g. something like the mail list as Widget instead of ListActivity) and lots of if that Widget exists in the current layout ...? I think it'd be a good idea to give developers some chance to prepare for things like that. Properly supporting tablets is more than just supporting a different screen size, it's often a completely different UI that must be supported in the same app... Also, can you give some hints how the future way is planned? Will there be a Honeycomb for smartphones with a different UI? Will tablet and smartphone APIs remain compatible?

[android-developers] Custom Attributes - Accessing via Activity
Hey,
Ive been looking into getting Custom Attributes working within an
application. I have this working up to the point where I am able to
assign the custom attribute via XML to one of my Views (a Background
or Image Source for example).
What I now want to do is access the Custom Attributes via Code, within
my Activity. I am not implementing custom Views here. I am just
wanting to access, within my Activity, the custom attributes that I
have defined. I will use these to programatically change the look of
my List View based on certain criteria.
Is there a way I can do this? I have the following code, but it does
not work, returns null each time. The code is just a test to assign a
background of the splash programatically.
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
TypedArray a =
getApplicationContext().obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.MainSplash);
int i =
a.getResourceId(R.styleable.MainSplash_splashDrawable, 0);
}
I always get returned '0' when using the above code. Any ideas?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Custom Attributes - Accessing via Activity
Adam,
I am not sure about the extra indirection level you have in your code
(the ?attr stuff), but this should work:
declare-styleable name=MainSplash
attr name=splashDrawable format=reference /
/declare-styleable
style name=Theme.MyCustomTheme parent=@android:style/Theme
item name=splashDrawable@drawable/splash/item
/style
With this in the manifest:
activity . android:theme=@style/Theme.MyCustomTheme ... /
And then:
TypedArray a =
this.obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.MainSplash);
Drawable d1 =
a.getDrawable(R.styleable.MainSplash_splashDrawable);
a.recycle();
BTW, you can put all this xml stuff in one file - the name doesn't
matter, as long as it's inside res/values.

[android-developers] WebView image source
Hi all. I have a WebView where I embed an image in the HTML: pageContent += img src=\ + item.getImage() + \ class=\thumb\ align=\right\; However I already have the image cached in memory, which can be called via a static method to return a Bitmap. Is there a way I can call the cached Bitmap to go in the 'src' tag? The method getImage currently returns the full URL of the image.

[android-developers] Help with Content Providers / Content Resolvers
Hi, I'm developing an editor for my application data. This application has a free and a premium version, so each one has it's own content provider with different authorities to avoid clashes. The editor also have a local content provider so it can work standalone. What I want to do is to check for a content provider existence when I start the editor so I can choose to use the local one, the one from the free application or the one from the premium application. I've search the documentation but I can't find a way to list the content providers available, for ex., for a specific MIME type. Can somebody help me?

[android-developers] Re: Picture orientation from gallery or camera intent
This is turning out to be very difficult problem. I found a solution to one
part of my problem by reading Android's gallery app's source. When I get the
picture from gallery it works. This is a code snippet from my
onActivityResult()
final Uri imageUri = data.getData();
String[] columns = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA,
MediaStore.Images.Media.ORIENTATION};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(imageUri,
columns, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
return;
}
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(columns[0]);
int orientationColumnIndex =
cursor.getColumnIndex(columns[1]);
String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
int orientation = cursor.getInt(orientationColumnIndex);
Log.d(TAG, got image orientation +orientation);
This works and I get correct orientation information on phones that don't
rotate the image automatically.
However! This approach does not work when I get the image directly from
camera intent. I can still run the same query with the camera intent uri but
the orientation column is always 0 regardless of the orientation.
Do someone know how I could get the image orientation from camera intent?
Any help very much appreciated! Thank you.

Re: [android-developers] Help with Content Providers / Content Resolvers
The mime type mapping works in the other direction: once you have a ContentProvider (or more specifically, a URI for a data query) it can be used to get the mime type. For your task, take a look at: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#queryContentProviders(java.lang.String, int, int) If both lite / pro versions share the same user id, you can try using that for the first parameter. If not, just filter the results by authority (since you know what you expect). You can also use: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getProviderInfo(android.content.ComponentName, int) by calling it with the lite / pro authorities and checking the return value. -- Kostya 10.01.2011 15:50, Pedro Duque пишет: Hi, I'm developing an editor for my application data.

[android-developers] does a handler prevents memory leaks???
Hi,
Android docs(1) suggest using threads and a handler to send messages
(to avoid ANR).
Fine. I've always done that but then porting some code to Android
noticed that it's not necessary.
Passing the Activity (i.e. Context) works fine.
public class WorkerThread extends Thread {
private Activity mActivity;
public WorkerThread(Activity mActivity) {
super();
this.mActivity = mActivity;
}
@Override
public void run() {
mActivity.showToast(WorkerThread thread says hello); //
displays a message
//setting a TextView works fine too
...
}
I understand the potential for memory leaks (2), but if I control the
WorkerThread lifecycle (it dies when the the Activity pauses), then
really there is no need to use a handler, is there? Or do I
misunderstand?

[android-developers] google analytics jar does not seem to work now
HI, I have google analytics incorporated in my android app. When I first added the code, and then updated my app on android market I got lots of hits. Now I get none. I know people might just be not using my app, but I started up the gingerbread emulator and did everything that was necessary for my app to report using analytics. When I looked at my google analytics page the next day there was nothing. I could swear that this worked (from the emulator) before. Unfortunately I have no access to an actual phone right now. Has anyone else had these problems?

I would like to check how much buffered then play it at a certain percentage, but when it catches up, I would pause the video until it buffers more then it would resume.

[android-developers] Simple compass functionality
Dear Experts, I'm trying to understand how to get simple compass functionality working, i.e. I have a map that I want to add a facing this way arrow to. I don't need other orientation angles i.e. it's not Augmented Reality, but I do need it to work correctly as the display orientation changes. I know about magnetic deviation but will overlook it in this post. As far as I can see, there is a reasonably simple deprecated method: I getDefaultSensor(TYPE_ORIENTATION), and use values[0]. It's unfortunate that this is deprecated. The replacement for this deprecated method seems to be: 1. getDefaultSensor(TYPE_GRAVITY) and getDefaultSensor(TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD) 2. When I have new values from both sensors (which don't necessarily arrive at the same rate), pass them to getRotationMatrix() and then pass the rotation matrix to getOrientation() to get the angles. ...but that doesn't allow for the display orientation. I think that I need to get that (from where?) and subtract it from the result. ...and I also don't think it does the right thing when I am holding the device near-vertically. Say you're standing, facing East, holding the device in front of your face, viewing a map; it will have East at the top. But if you tilt the device so it is slightly overhanging, this method will flip it so that West is at the top, won't it? That's certainly not what the user would expect. ...and I don't really think the accelerometer is needed for this. I think the accelerometer is only really needed to get the two other outputs (pitch and roll) from getOrientation() that I ignore. Though I may be wrong about that, if I fix the previous issue, due to varying magnetic dip angles. So, has anyone else worked out how all of this should hang together? Is there some simpler API somewhere that I have missed? Thanks, Phil. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Would I be able to use the Local Service pattern, or am I restricted because my service is a live wallpaper, and need to use Intents or AIDL? I think the flow would go something like this, please correct me where my process might fail: 1. Preview the live wallpaper from the Live Wallpaper Chooser 2. Go into my custom Settings activity 3. Click on a Screen Shot button or preference to open up a Screen Shot activity 4. Send a message to my wallpaper, asking for a screen shot bitmap to be rendered 5. The wallpaper service receives the message and renders its current visuals to a bitmap in the app's data directory 6. The wallpaper sends a message back to the activity indicating success and location of the bitmap 7. The activity receives this message, loads the bitmap from the given location, and displays it to the user for further processing / sharing The parts I'm not sure about are the message passing in 4-7. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: IsolatedContext and AndroidTestCase.getContext()
AndroidTestCase.getContext() returns a normal Context object. It's the Context of the test case, not the component under test. IsolatedContext returns a mock Context. I put mock in quotes because its not a mock in the normal sense of that term (for testing). Instead, it's a template Context that you have to set up yourself. It isolates you from the running Android system, so that your Context or your test doesn't accidentally get outside of the test fixture. For example, an IsolatedContext won't accidentally hit a production database (unless you set it up to do that!) Note, however, that some of the methods in an IsolatedContext may throw exceptions. IsolatedContext is documented in the Developer Guide under Framework Topics Testing, both in Testing Fundamentals and in Content Provider Testing. You haven't said anything more about what you're trying to test, but I find it interesting that you're using AndroidTestCase instead of one of the more specific classes. Any reason for this?

Re: [android-developers] Looking up a View inside a ViewGroup via coordinates
Abdull,
Take a look at the source for ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent.
http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/frameworks/base/core/java/android/view/ViewGroup.java
It has code to hit-test children, and it's only a few lines of code.
( provided you can't set click listeners on individual views, which is
the usual way to handle this )

[android-developers] Re: does a handler prevents memory leaks???
Well, if you don't handle that, it will leak. Preferably, you should
be passing the application's context and not the activity's context.
Since, Activity's context depends on the state of the particular
activity, and the context you are probably interested in inside the
Worker thread is most of the times an application context.

[android-developers] Re: What is the name of this widget?
The reason why a NumberPicker is not public or a part of the SDK is perhaps because it's not a widely used widget. If it were, it would have been a part of the SDK, and the widget would have been public. IMO. There might be other reasons as well, but this seems to be the most obvious reason. Remember, the SDK is for a mobile device. Once we have the tablet specific SDK(if at all), we might see these widgets as a part of the SDK, since tablets, I assume would have better hardware than phones.

Ok. So here is what I am trying to understand. I have an X10A from ATT. I can not develop on the phone because it doesn't allow me to install third party none market applications. If I try to root the phone it will remove the 3G and WIFI from functionality from the phone. At this point I am considering the need that I may need buy a new phone just for the soul purpose of being able to test the apps I'm developing.

Re: [android-developers] does a handler prevents memory leaks???
Toasts must be shown from a thread that is running a handler, and by doing
so you are causing that thread to be a UI a thread for the duration of a
toast with the corresponding constraints (it will not execute its work if
you block it with your own stuff).
You are only living on luck if you touch anything in the view hierarchy from
another thread. The view hierarchy is very, very single threaded. There
are some sanity checks at places for calls coming in from the wrong thread,
but they won't catch everything, and the things they don't will result in
randomly broken behavior depending on how threads race or not.
