There is a way to do this from code:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html#enableNetwork(int, 
boolean)



public boolean enableNetwork (int netId, boolean disableOthers)
Since: API Level 1

Allow a previously configured network to be associated with. If 
disableOthers is true, then all other configured networks are 
disabled, and an attempt to connect to the selected network is 
initiated. This may result in the asynchronous delivery of state 
change events.


For this to work, you first need to add the network to Android's known 
(== configured) network list, that's how you get the int netId above.


http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiManager.html#addNetwork(android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration)

Add a new network description to the set of configured networks. The 
networkId field of the supplied configuration object is ignored.


The new network will be marked DISABLED by default. To enable it, 
called enableNetwork(int, boolean).


The only somewhat tricky part is setting correct security options in the 
WifiConfiguration object. Here is how I do it in my application:

[android-developers] Re: Custom Contact Sync Adapter - Icons and Titles

2011-01-25 Thread marten

Hello,

this seems to be the same issue, that I have on my Motorola phone
(Motorola shows my Sync-Adapter as null instead of Unknown). I
investigated this a little bit and found the following log lines:

01-25 11:18:58.796  1742  6985 D ContSrcUpdtService: adding source
picture_source=0 pretty_name=Google
secondary_text=marten.ga...@googlemail.com
gams_account_type=com.google allow_out_of_context=1
active_sync_source=1 capability=5
gams_account_name=marten.ga...@googlemail.com
01-25 11:18:58.803  1742  6985 D ContSrcUpdtService: adding source
picture_source=0 allow_out_of_context=0 active_sync_source=0
gams_account_type=org.dmfs.carddav.account capability=5
gams_account_name=Test Addresses

The first line is about the Google Account, the second one about my
Sync-Adapter. As one can see the Google-Line has some extra info
pretty_name and secondary_text. Also, I don't know why
active_sync_source is set to 0 on my account.
I enabled it with:

ContentResolver.setSyncAutomatically(account,
ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, true);
ContentResolver.setIsSyncable(account,
ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, 1);

And syncing works fine so far.

Does anyone know where to set the pretty_name and secondary_text
for my sync-source?
It seems to me this is not some Motorola or Samsung proprietary
stuff.

Thanks

Marten

 Hi guys,

 Based on the SampleSyncAdapter provided in the Android API
 documentation, I have developed an AccountAuthenticator andSyncAdapterthat 
 allows people to initially sign-in to a web-based
 account and then regularly sync their contacts list from the server to
 their phone.

 Now, this is all good and works fine, but there is a little section
 that I have been unable to find any information on - I suspect that
 this may be because of the specifics of the Samsung Galaxy S phone I'm
 testing on (Android 2.2). Any clarification on this would be great
 too.

 When my contacts from the server are synced to my phone, they
 correctly join together based on firstname, lastname, etc. If I
 scroll down on one of these contacts to where it lists all the joined
 contacts, I can see a little blue F icon for the facebook account, a
 black G for the google account, etc, however my custom sync appears
 as a 'generic' green icon (green background with a white upper-body
 sillouette on it).

 If I click on this Joined Contacts section, it lists all the accounts,
 where Google is called Google, Facebook is called Facebook, and my
 custon sync is called Unknown.

 When I defined my application, I have specified icons and titles for
 thesync adapter, account authenticator, and so forth. There icons and
 titles are alldisplayedcorrectly when I try to create an account
 through the Accounts and Sync menu in the settings. ie, my account-
 authenticator XML file is defined with the following values, which are
 used correctly...
     android:icon=@drawable/icon
     android:smallIcon=@drawable/small_icon
     android:label=@string/sync_name

 My question is, where are the green icon and the associated title
 defined for my application. Its obvious that I'm overlooking
 something, as it detects it as a unknown type against the contact. I
 suspect that it may be something that I need to set on the Account
 itself somewhere, or possibly its specific to the Samsung Galaxy S?

 Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks,
 Michael.

Re: [android-developers] Draw a closed polygon witihin mapview

Android doesn't use or support java.awt.* APIs, have you tried these:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Path.html

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas.html#drawPath(android.graphics.Path,
android.graphics.Paint)

But I don't see anything really wrong with the way you're doing it (except
for possibly joins and antialiasing at the vertices).

 If there are any friendly devs that are planning on watching the State

 The GAE portion of this has been the most challenging, really.  It
 would be nice if GAE would start offering services specifically
 targeted at supporting long-lived connections with Android clients.
 The biggest wild card in this whole experiment is whether the GAE app
 will be able to withstand X number of clients polling.  I thought
 about Cloud to Device, but I wanted a bigger user base than Android
 2.2+ would provide.  Anyone else doing something similar?  What has
 your approach been?

 I'll post some follow up later with results of the experiment and a
 bit more detail on architecture.

[android-developers] Draw a closed polygon witihin mapview

2011-01-25 Thread Dudero

Hello,

I want to display borders (based on GeoPoints) on my mapview.
But as far as I know android does not support anything like
java.awt.polygon?

My problem is that if I add new points to my polygon some edges
intersect with others edges. The soloution is that I have to sort my
points into the right order, but I think this is not really trivial...

At the moment I draw my polygon with following code into the draw-
method
of an ItemizedOverlay:

public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
...
for(int i = 0; i  geopoints.size(); i++){
//If its not the last point: connect the current
point with its next
if ( i  size()-1 )
canvas.drawLine(Point(i).x,
Point(i).y, Point(i+1).x, Point(i+1),mPaint);
//The last point will be connected to the
first(0) the get a closed polygon
else
canvas.drawLine(Point(i).x,
Point(i).y, Point(0).x, Point(0).y, mPaint);
}
...
}

Any suggestions?

  is there way for me to dynamically dispatch the touch events to the

[android-developers] Re: WakeLock/Services and sleep

2011-01-25 Thread mikeee

Thanks for all the comments.   A few more from me.

Diane, just to clarify I am using a *partial* wake lock as I mentioned
in my original post and this is what Mark was implying was evil.  I
understand that it uses more batteries then not having acquiring the
lock but it seems that if you have a requirement in an application
where you need to receive a GPS update as the user moves around with
relatively fine granularity of say 100 meters, that using a partial
wake lock is a perfectly valid use case - in fact I think it's a
better use of the API to let the screen and other parts of the phone
turn off yet the CPU and GPS remain on rather then forcing the
activity to be in the foreground and keep the screen on. The screen is
one the largest user of battery power.

Also my app has been on the Market for several months and hasn't had a
single comment or email sent to us about the battery life being an
issue.   Granted we've only sold 500 or so but I would expect since
it's not a free app that people would complain.  For example I can
easily run the app for 24 hours with a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK acquired
without using up all the batteries on my Motorola Droid and also while
surfing the web, checking email, making phone calls.I would argue
that if you're running applications, surfing the web and using email
on your phone frequently that 24 hours is about right for the amount
of time you get out of a charge.   I know many Droid owners that say
they have to charge their phone every day (and these are people that
aren't using my app - just general phone, text messaging, email,
surfing web activities).   Same is true of iphone users.

Also, Mark you said that the OS is probably terminating the service
because it has acquired an everlasting wake lock.   Why would their be
a published API call that is specifically designed to keep the phone
running and then behind the scenes have OS level logic that sniffs
around for services that are accessing the public API and then killing
them off.   I can't think of a single scenario where that makes any
sense.   I'd be perfectly fine if the documentation said don't use
this ever or don't ever use this in a service but I haven't ever
seen such a document other then random comments from people who
purport to have built a better mousetrap but it never captures the use
cases of specific app requirements.

Just to clarify - my app isn't polling anything, it's waiting to be
sent events from the LocationManager which pushes location changed
events if you are an observer so although the CPU is left running my
application isn't really doing anything except responding to events
that the OS pushes out.

I'm not sure what switching to a timer approach that has to wake up
every 15 seconds or less and then wait to acquire a GPS lock (which
itself can take 15 seconds if you have to do it from scratch each time
the phone wakes up), update the database in my app and then let the
default sleep timeout come and go.  I don't think the phone would ever
sleep in that scenario if your phone sleep time was 15 seconds for
example.I agree if I only needed to wake the phone up every 5
minutes to do a task then an Alarm based system would make sense.

[android-developers] What is the best way to display OpenGL graphics with Camera preview background?

The only way that I know of is to use one SurfaceView for the Camera
preview and a GLSurfaceView for the OpenGL graphics.
Make the OpenGLSurfaceView have a translucent PixelFormat and stack
both SurfaceViews on top of each other using Activity.setContentView

I know this is not a good way to do it because you should use only one
SurfaceView etc... yet I don't know of any alternative way of solving
this problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Shape drawing - issue with corners

2011-01-25 Thread Henrik Lindqvist

The docs say you should do the following if you only want some corners
rounded:

corners android:radius=15dp android:bottomRightRadius=0dip
android:bottomLeftRadius=0dip /

Never got that it work tho.

 Apparently, something like this works a little better:

 android:topLeftRadius=15dp
 android:topRightRadius=15dp
 android:bottomRightRadius=0.1dp

[android-developers] Re: SoundPool - sample XXX not READY

2011-01-25 Thread darrinps

I have a sound based application on the market and use SoundPool.

Long story short, it is quirky to say the least and only likes small
sound files. I have been able to play sounds over and over (as in a
loop) and change sounds though without issue once I matched up loading
and unloading correctly.

I don't have the code on me right now but can get it to you later. For
now though, keep the files small, and unloading matched, and it should
work.

On Jan 24, 7:45 pm, Steve rockthesm...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi there,

 I am using a SoundPool to control the SFX in my game, which is
 targeted at Android 1.6 devices. Initially, I am able to do everything
 I wish to do, but after sometime of playing the game (can be a few
 minutes, can be more than thirty minutes), I am no longer able to play
 sounds, and instead am seeing messages in my log such as:

 SoundPool - sample 440 not READY

 The thing is, these samples never become ready - in fact from this
 moment on, no sound effects ever appear to be ready - it is almost as
 if the thread that handles the loading gets stuck and then no more
 sounds can load.

 Any sounds that are loaded for the duration of the game can still be
 played and function correctly, but sounds that get loaded per level
 will no longer work from this point on.

 I have a session of my game running now that is exhibiting this
 problem, and some statistics I have are:

  - I have made 516 calls to load
  - I have made 513 calls to unload (I have three sounds that are
 resident, all the other loads/unloads are as I have gone in and out of
 many levels)
  - I have made 1547 play calls
  - I have made 1547 stop calls

 I have spent some time debugging this now, and have ensured all load
 and unloads match up, and the same for play/stop calls, but I am not
 really sure what I can do next now. My only fallback I could code up
 is to destroy the sound pool from time to time, and reload the
 resident sounds - it isn't a clean solution, but I am at a loss as to
 what else I can do. It feels like the problem is more likely to crop
 up when loading/unloading lots of SFX in succession, I am not sure if
 it could be a race case to do with a resource not quite being in a
 loaded state, and not quite being in an unloaded state - of course
 this whole situation is made a lot worse by the fact I don't have a
 sensible method of querying when a sound is actually loaded in Android
 1.6.

 Someone out there must have a largish game on Android 1.6, using the
 SoundPool successfully? Can anyone help?

 Many thanks,

 Steve

Re: [android-developers] Re: WakeLock/Services and sleep

 Also, Mark you said that the OS is probably terminating the service
 because it has acquired an everlasting wake lock.

I meant that the OS is probably terminating the service because it is
everlasting, not specifically the WakeLock. This has been discussed on
this list several times -- Android is being more aggressive about
killing off background services because too many developers have been
starting services and leaving them running for no good reason, tying
up memory and irritating users. This is what led to the rise of the
task killer app, the Manage Services screen in the Settings app, etc.

 I'm not sure what switching to a timer approach that has to wake up
 every 15 seconds or less and then wait to acquire a GPS lock (which
 itself can take 15 seconds if you have to do it from scratch each time
 the phone wakes up), update the database in my app and then let the
 default sleep timeout come and go.  I don't think the phone would ever
 sleep in that scenario if your phone sleep time was 15 seconds for
 example.    I agree if I only needed to wake the phone up every 5
 minutes to do a task then an Alarm based system would make sense.

If your app is designed to be used for short periods this way (you
cite Google Navigation as an exemplar), keeping the device awake and
the GPS on for those periods, when a user has explicitly and visibly
asked for it, and where the user is aware of what you are doing (e.g.,
startForeground(), as Ms. Hackborn mentioned), can be OK. For example,
a user is unlikely to miss the fact that Google Navigation is keeping
the device awake and GPS on, considering it is showing the user the
road ahead whenever the screen is on, not to mention the blue arrow
notification icon in the status bar.

Now, I admit, I jumped to conclusions based upon your stated symptoms
-- the conclusion being that you are trying to run this service beyond
short periods.

[android-developers] Mediaplayer cuts off early

2011-01-25 Thread Hank

I have a recording that is around 4 minutes and when I try to play it
using the MediaPlayer API, it doesn't play the full file, it cuts off
early maybe at most 30 seconds into the file. Did anyone have this
problem, and did they find a solution?

I also called getDuration() and it is returning the correct duration.

More thoughts... In terms of the ArrayAdapter in the parent activity,

then call the corresponding add/remove for the array adapter seem like

 Hi all.  I need some advice on how to best proceed.

 First, a little background.  I have an application that uses a

 the /data/data/package.name/files directory.  There may be hundreds of
 these files as the app gets used, so I pass the job of scanning the
 directory and loading the files into the ArrayAdapter using an
 AsyncTask that fires up a 'Loading...' ProgressDialog onPreExecute(),
 and closes it down onPostExecute().  In doInBackground(), I iterate
 through the files returned from a listFiles() call, storing the file
 names into the ArrayAdapter.

 In terms of the AsyncTask, I've taken some direction here from Romain
 Guy's Shelves application in terms of the AsyncTask properly pausing/
 storing, etc when it gets interrupted, and killed on Application
 termination.  Everything here works OK, except that the ArrayAdapter
 can only tie in a single value (the filename in this case) to the
 View, and I's like to tie in multiple values/views pairs (in my case,
 filename, modified date).

 I've seen this done in the Notepad sample application, but that uses
 the SimpleCursorAdapter, but my understanding is that is exclusively
 tied to Cursors, and thus the SQLite database, which I don't need.

 So, here are my issues as I try to extend the very basic app:

 1) How do I bind multiple values to multiple Views in the adapter.
 ArrayAdapter can't do it, is there another more appropriate option, or
 am I looking at creating my own custom adapter?  If so, any example
 and/or suggestions on how to best proceed?

 2) Am I going down the completely wrong path here with how I am tying
 files into the List... is there some 'hybrid' way to tie files to a
 Cursor such that I could use the SimpleCursorAdapter to handle all of
 this?

 3) As a follow-up to that, in terms of adding items, I have an
 OptionsMenu that launches a Note Editing function (very similar to the
 Notepad example).  I can create XML files via this method, but on
 going back to the ListView, the new items are not in the List,
 unsurprisingly.  Notepad does this via the ContentResolver.insert()
 method, but with physical files scanned from the directory, I'm just
 not sure how I should be proceeding to update the List... I'd rather
 not have to re-scan every time a new note is added, but that may be my

 3) In terms of the Uri I define for each item, I am generating it from
 the absolute filepath, due to the fact that it may be possible in
 future versions to move/store files on the SD card, and I'm trying to
 maintain the Uniqueness of the Uri.  Anyone see any issues with this
 solution?

 A very broad question, I hope the basic gist is clear...  just trying
 to determine the best way to star so that I can move forward in the
 most efficient and correct way.

For this type of thing I'd use startActivityForResult (for new items) or

in the activity that displays the list.

Yes it can. ArrayAdapterMyCustomType where MyCustomeType has all the

necessary. This is explained in the ArrayAdapter docs.

Re: [android-developers] Re: ListView with XML files strategy


Paul,

And on your old questions 1 and 2 - I wouldn't use ArrayAdapter, it's 
too basic, a nice way to start, but really doesn't have much flexibility 
for complex data types.


If you wanted to use a cursor-based adapter, you'd most likely need to 
import your data from files into a database.


A hybrid design is also possible - a ContentProvider that keeps a 
reference to the data file for each item, and possibly also contains the 
item's title, so it has everything necessary for presenting your item 
list. You'd then be able to take advantage of the content framework's 
data change notifications (such as your list automatically refreshing 
when items are added / deleted).


Also not sure why you're not using a database for all your data (as 
opposed to separate files), but that must be some kind of incoming 
requirements constraint, so not going to comment on that.

 Will the Dialog work here? If so, how should i set the content view to a

 Or is there a dialog class for maps?

[android-developers] Timer Question

2011-01-25 Thread bklik

I have lots of issues with my egg timer application.

I started by just writing the application all in an action. That of
course didn't work because once the user left the application, it
would get garbage collected after a while and longer timers would
fail.

So, I tried a Service. My main Activity handles all the UI stuff and
binds to a Service. The user enters in the amount of time they want
the egg timer to fun for, and that time gets handed off to the
service.

The Service has a timer that deducts time every second until it
reaches zero, then plays a sound. Only, somehow it randomly never gets
there. Sometimes it'll work for a three hour countdown, other times
it'll stop working after only 30 minutes. I've put Log.d() all over
the place where things get stopped or destroyed but they never show
up.

Does a timer get stopped and garbage collected independed of an
Activity or Service? Is there a simple example of a persistent
countdown timer out there?

Thanks,

Brenton

Re: [android-developers] Timer Question

Using a Java Timer in an Android application has some drawbacks: one, it 
invokes the callback on a worker thread, two, it stops if the process is 
killed.


Take a look at AlarmManager - it's reliable even if the application is 
killed, and uses an Android-specific notification mechanism when it fires.

Re: [android-developers] Re: WakeLock/Services and sleep

2011-01-25 Thread Dianne Hackborn

Just do not sit there holding a partial wake lock forever.

If this actually didn't matter, why would we have these at all?  Why would
we just instead skipping the whole sleeping the CPU thing?  It sure would
have made our life a lot easier.

The problem with a partial wake lock is that on many (but not all) devices,
it does not *directly* consume power, but it allows a lot of things to
*indirectly* consume it by allowing them to run when they normally wouldn't.
 Thus how much you reduce battery life is going to depend greatly on the
other apps running on the phone.  Even for a stock build of the platform,
though, I can guarantee you will be noticeable impacting battery life.  It
seems like every release we go through we have some situation come up where
wake locks are being held too much in some case, causing our battery life to
go down.

Also it makes no sense to measure the impact of holding a partial wake lock
while doing anything with the screen on, since while the screen on the CPU
is not allowed to go to deep sleep so a partial wake lock wouldn't do
anything.

Another complication with them is that, because they don't directly consume
power, the battery use UI won't accurately reflect what you are doing.  That
is, if you are holding a wake lock, and that is allowing another app to run
a lot, then none of the increased battery drain will be accounted against
you in the UI, it will be all against the other app.  Worse, the more likely
case is that by doing this you allow 5 or 10 or more other processes to run
for a little bit each, which together result in significant battery drain,
but not coming from a particular source.  So as a user you will just have an
experience where your battery life is poor, but won't see anyone in the UI
as a real culprit.

That said, the reporting of this has been greatly improved in 2.3.  Now
while you are holding a partial wake lock (while the screen is off), you
will get 50% of the blame for all CPU during that time.  This makes it very
likely that your app will show up on the CPU usage list.  I think you can
assume that as 2.3 gets on more devices, you will get increasingly
complaints from users as they start seeing your app to blame, instead of
just having a nebulous experience of their battery life being poorer than it
seems it should be with no clear cause.

Also there are devices where the simple act of holding a partial wake lock
*does* consume power, because the hardware can't put the CPU into power
collapse while doing so.  The Nexus S (and other Galaxy S class devices) is
an example of this.  On these devices, you will definitely have an impact on
battery life, even if there is nothing else that is allowed to use the CPU.
 And also in 2.3 this will be better reflected in the battery usage UI.

As far as a service being killed -- unless you use startForeground(), you
should count on your service being killed and restarted somewhat regularly.
 I believe, in the current implementation, after it has been started for 30
minutes it is dropped out of the service OOM adjustment, and put into the
regular background LRU list.  At that point it will just get killed whenever
it gets to the end of the list -- best case for a device that can keep the
maximum of 15 background processes running, after the user (or broadcasts or
other activity) has made 15 other app processes active for any amount of
time.  On devices with little memory, you will be killed almost immediately
at that point.

We didn't start killing processes for excessive wake lock use until 2.3.  At
this point it is only done to background processes.  I don't recall if a
service that has been running a long time is considered a background process
for that accounting.  It probably should be (though it will soon after be
restarted).  We allow a service otherwise to keep holding a wake lock, since
also as of 2.3 these things will show up in the battery use for the user so
they will know how to blame.

That all said, if you aren't currently causing the GPS to run yourself,
waking up every 15 seconds to acquire a GPS lock would have significantly
more battery use because GPS is fairly power hungry.  Well and fundamentally
waking up every 15 seconds is not solving any problem here, it is doing the
same problem while following the letter of the guidelines.

Finally, if you are just passively listening for location updates that come
from other apps requesting location information, do you really need to hold
a wake lock?  If a location update is happening, someone else must be
holding a wake lock during that time in order for it to happen.

 Thanks for all the comments.   A few more from me.

[android-developers] notification help

I have created a notification when receiving an SMS and I would like
my application to either launch OR if it has already been launched to
return to the last activity the user left it.  I tried reading up on
Activities and Tasks and the flags associated with it but it did not
help me much.  I tried the code described below but it doesn't do
anything when clicking on notification.

Currently I have set the launchMode to singleTask but am not sure if
that is what I want to reach the desired behavior mentioned above, can
anybody clarify?

Also, creating the intent to pass into the PendingIntent is confusing
me too.  This is what I have so far:

Context context = getApplicationContext();

Intent openMyAppIntent = new Intent(context, MyApplication.class);
showNotification(openMyAppIntent, SMS Encounter, Received SMS,
msg, R.drawable.icon);

this is showNotification:

private void showNotification(Intent intent, String message, String
messageHeadline, String messageDetails, int icon)
{
NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

Notification notifyDetails = new Notification(icon, message,
System.currentTimeMillis());

PendingIntent myIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);

notifyDetails.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(),
messageHeadline, messageDetails, myIntent);
notifyDetails.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

mNotificationManager.notify(ID, notifyDetails);

Re: [android-developers] notification help

Yes, a singleTask or singleInstance launch mode for your Activity sounds 
right:


http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#lmodes

I *think* your intent for the notificaiton is wrong: does 
MyApplication.class refer to your main activity, or to your 
application class? It should be the activity class, also make sure 
you've added it to the manifest.

[android-developers] Re: notification help

does
'MyApplication.class' refer to your main activity, or to your

The MyApplication.class refers to my application class.  My app has
multiple activities so which activity do I use because I want it to
load or restore whichever activity the user left.

Have you set up a broadcast receiver to monitor for an incoming sms
in your
manifest?

Yes I have.  I am receiving SMS messages just fine and I'm also
getting the notification so I'm not sure what your question has to do
with my problem.  Does it have to do with what context I'm using
inside the intents?  If so, what I'm doing is starting a serviceIntent
which is basically just an SMS parser and inside the SMS parser is
where I'm handling the notification stuff.

 Subject: [android-developers] notification help

 I have created a notification when receiving an SMS and I would like my
 application to either launch OR if it has already been launched to return to
 the last activity the user left it.  I tried reading up on Activities and
 Tasks and the flags associated with it but it did not help me much.  I tried
 the code described below but it doesn't do anything when clicking on
 notification.

 Currently I have set the launchMode to singleTask but am not sure if that is
 what I want to reach the desired behavior mentioned above, can anybody
 clarify?

 Also, creating the intent to pass into the PendingIntent is confusing me
 too.  This is what I have so far:

 Context context = getApplicationContext();

 Intent openMyAppIntent = new Intent(context, MyApplication.class);
 showNotification(openMyAppIntent, SMS Encounter, Received SMS, msg,
 R.drawable.icon);

 this is showNotification:

 private void showNotification(Intent intent, String message, String
 messageHeadline, String messageDetails, int icon) {
         NotificationManager mNotificationManager =
 (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

         Notification notifyDetails = new Notification(icon, message,
 System.currentTimeMillis());

         PendingIntent myIntent =
 PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);

         notifyDetails.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(),
 messageHeadline, messageDetails, myIntent);
         notifyDetails.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;

         mNotificationManager.notify(ID, notifyDetails);

 }

The MyApplication.class refers to my application class.  My app has

load or restore whichever activity the user left.


I don't think this is going to work - in fact, you are seeing it not 
work, if I understood your original message correctly.


FYI - launching an activity from a notification always starts it in a 
new task - even if you don't set FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK in your intent, 
it's automatically added by the framework and you get a logcat warning.


Perhaps you could figure out the most appropriate activity at the time 
when you set the notification, and use an intent specific to that 
activity, taking the user directly to where he can see or work with the 
information that caused the notification.

[android-developers] Re: Send an SMS message to an email?

2011-01-25 Thread Jonathan Jenne

Right, this is why I figured it should be so easy! On any regular cell
phone that I'm aware of, you can send text messages to an email
address... and that's exactly what I'm trying to do here. In fact, the
company I work for, most of our communication between customers and
our server happens in this way. Customers send a text-message to an
email address of ours using their cell phones, and that will update
something on our end on their behalf. Then, we send them a message
back from our email to their phonenumber@carrier. This method has
worked for us for the last 6 years, and has many benefits for us.

We're developing an app that will basically make this communication
easier for the user... but apparently it can't be done short of re-
writing an entire SMS/Email messaging back-end? That doesn't seem
worth it at all.

If we wanted to interact with our customer in another way, it's sort
of a hassle. We can do this through the web, but it would be visiting
an ugly website like 
www.ourwebsite.com/admin/androidapp.php?usrnum=phonenumbercommand
 ... Which is fine, but we don't want the website to be visible when
this happens, and I can't seem to find a way to call the web-browser
in the background, then have it die nicely once the site is loaded.

Do you guys have any suggestions? Is this possible, or are we stuck
having to re-write parts of our website back-end along with parts of
our security procedures to accommodate a different method of
communication ?

[android-developers] Problem with XMLPullParser and/or Java reflection on specific devices (zio) ?

2011-01-25 Thread selmo

A new problem has shown up with my app, which appears to affect only certain 
devices. I don't have a lot of information about the failure, but my current 
best guess is it appears to be failing to read or parse an internal XML 
resource.  

I read one of several XML files from res/xml and use that to dynamically 
initialize a java class / data structure (ie: coordinates of bitmaps based 
on a skin definition -- not device, region, or resolution dependent). 
 There's nothing device-specific there, so it seems like if that had a 
problem, it wouldn't be specific to any one device.  And that method has 
been working fine for a long time, across many resolutions, languages, and 
devices from 1.5 to 2.2+  -- but I recently got a vague report that suggests 
it's not working with a Sanyo / Kyocera Zio (on Cricket) running 1.6  -- and 
possibly also on some tablet of unknown make and model (but not a Galaxy 
Tab).  The failure mode suggests that it is able to find the XML from the 
resources, but the data is not making it from the XML to the java class.  

If I had access to a device (or a patient tester with one) I could probably 
solve this with detailed logging, but at the moment, I'm stuck.  Does anyone 
have any ideas or similar experience?

Here is the code for the class which takes a Resource and ID and a Java 
object and assigns any properties with the same name in the XML to the Java 
object. (apologies if this method is outdated / bad practice / etc.  I wrote 
it when I was just starting on Android and java is not my native tongue.).

AFAIK, those types of features are implemented within the carrier's 
network, and are independent of the particular phone make / model and 
its firmware.


Heck, you don't even need a phone for this to work - just get a 
contract, activate it, set up the service, and never insert the SIM it 
into the phone, and it should still work.


I'm using a service like this for incoming faxes with a CDMA operator: 
faxes sent to that phone number are received by the operator's back-end 
and are delivered to me over email, and the phone with that number is a 
spare I never even turn on.


Now, if you need this for one particular phone # (or just a few), then 
sure, you can build an application that listens for incoming SMS 
messages, and then does whatever it wants with them - including 
forwarding them over email.


This looks like a nice write-up that should help you get started:

[android-developers] Re: how to pass value from spinner to another activity

2011-01-25 Thread Jonathan Foley


You can actually stop default selection with a little hackery:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/867518/how-to-make-an-android-spinner-with-initial-text-select-one


This isn't entirely future-safe because it uses method reflection and
changes the visibility at runtime, but I can attest that it works.
The other less hackish way to get around this is to just set a flag on
initializing the spinner such that you ignore the default call to
onSelectionChange(); The default will
still be displayed but it won't trigger whatever action you call from
onSelectionChange(); A third option is to inject a blank value into
your adapter. This is pretty easy with an ArrayAdapter and I do with
with a CursorAdapter using CursorWrapper

[android-developers] strange bug on Android

2011-01-25 Thread bob

I'm diagnosing a strange bug on Android.  I noticed that if I insert
these two lines:


gl.glPushMatrix();
gl.glPopMatrix();

Things get scaled a little differently.

Any ideas why?  Shouldn't those two lines cancel one another out and
do nothing noticeable?

[android-developers] Background color

2011-01-25 Thread Antony BODY

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the background color of a button. This color was
applied on this button with the XML code.
It's little complicated !!!

I tried some solutions like:

Drawable d = findViewById(R.id.my_btn).getBackground();

But i can't obtain the background color code.
Any people have idea ??

[android-developers] Wake locks and camera

2011-01-25 Thread blindfold

I noticed that in Android 2.2 and earlier I must do either a
FULL_WAKE_LOCK or a combination of PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and
FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON to make sure the camera does not get turned off
after a while with my app in the foreground (and I need a wake lock to
keep GPS going). The underlying assumption seems to be that the camera
is not useful when the screen is off, but that assumption is false for
computer vision applications where not the user but the program is
watching the camera view. Is this fixed in Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)?

Thanks

Re: [android-developers] Background color


Anthony,

In general, a background is not necessarily a solid color - it can be an 
bitmap, a nine-patch, a gradient, state list, etc.


If you know that you specified a solid color in XML, you could try 
casting the Drawable to a ColorDrawable:


http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/ColorDrawable.html

Additionally, I think you should be able set a tag for the button in 
XML, that you would then be able to access from code:


Button.
android:tag=@color/your_background_color
/

Color color = (Color) button.getTag();

This would come in handy if you ever decide to switch from solid color 
backgrounds to something similar but different (a gradient with a 
lighting effect, etc.)

I've got an expandable list - with multiple entries.

Is it possible to have a text-label between some of

this entry is not expandable (just a text label) and
the height will be different (enough  for the text).

thanks.

p.s. much like what's possible in the Preferences

[android-developers] [Camera API] Force Close Does Not Release Camera Resource

2011-01-25 Thread Joe McCann

So while developing a custom camera application I've realized on rare
occasions and on various devices if the app has to force close, it
does not always release the camera resource.

Is there a way to find/detect the process that is holding onto this
resource and kill it?  Or some other technique?  It is rather
difficult bug to reproduce (for me anyway), but ultimately the device
has to be restarted.

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Bitmaps with XRGB_8888 ?

2011-01-25 Thread webmonkey

Hi Romain

Looking further into the Android source code when you create a 32-bit
color bitmap the system always assumes you have alpha and there is no
way to turn it off. Only when you load a JPEG or something does the
system set the flag to ignore it.

That is an unnecessary performance penalty that can easily be avoided.
For Honeycomb could you please make the setHasAlpha public or provide
an XRGB_ config. For the upcoming tablets we are going to draw
even more and bigger bitmaps.


On Jan 24, 10:01 pm, webmonkey webmonke...@gmail.com wrote:
 But that seems to be the only way to tell the system that it can
 ignore the alpha channel. Bitmap.hasAlpha() just returns the flag.

 I am updating the bitmap a lot with copyPixelsFromBuffer so how do I
 tell the system that it can ignore the alpha channel?

It could just run ls -l for the few application-specific data

A) If you have a website, then you can use the HTTP Client to do the
interaction with your server and post all the messages you like (This
is the easy way a.k.a WebService)
B) If you need to only send the email to one single address, then just
send it over SMTP directly to that server. An SMTP server will accept
email where it is the final destination. (But you have to note, that
some ISPs block the 25th port on all SMTP hosts except their local

[android-developers] Error receiving broadcast Intent NullPointerException

2011-01-25 Thread ericharlow

I was working on creating a wifi service for my application. When I
ran into a strange error detailing Error receiving broadcast
Intent ... and stating that there was a NullPointerException. I was
finally able to track this issue down. What I discovered was a
broadcast intent action like WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION is
sticky. Context.registerReceiver() documentation states that

The system may broadcast Intents that are sticky -- these stay
around after the broadcast as finished, to be sent to any later
registrations. If your IntentFilter matches one of these sticky
Intents, that Intent will be returned by this function and sent to
your receiver as if it had just been broadcast.

When my broadcastReceiver received the initial sticky broadcast it
caused the NullPointerException error. Note I am working on OS1.6 -
api level 4 so BroadcastReceiver's isInitialStickyBroadcast() is not
available. I hope what I discovered for myself is helpful to others
with this error.

 01-17 12:20:04.324: ERROR/NPT:(1558): Intent
 { act=android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON (has extras) }
 01-17 12:20:04.324: ERROR/NPT:(1558): KeyEvent{action=0 code=85
 repeat=0 meta=0 scancode=200 mFlags=8}

 which is the bluetooth Play/Pause media key. This is what it should
 be, as the AVRCP command triggers this, but as I said, it's like the
 OS just keeps spamming this.

 I have tried using the abortBroadcast() method to stop it but that has
 no effect. I am guessing the broadcast is non-ordered and can't be
 stopped explicitly?

 I have verified it is not the hardware spamming the AVRCP command by
 debugging my firmware code. The spamming behavior also continues if I
 unplug the hardware.

 I am using 2.2.

 Thanks.
