[android-developers] Re: Built-in resource unexpectedly not found
As a test, building against SDK 9, I compiled an APK referencing @android:drawable/presence_video_away which was introduced in SDK 9. Then I ran the APK on a SDK 4 emulator and got an exception indicating resource not found (as above). However, it referenced a seemingly random resource (one defined in the APK).

[android-developers] Re: app doesn't install anymore!
I am starting the app from the view where all the other applications are placed, whatever is called. And even if it displays the icon, it says that the application is not installed. Then if I go in : Settings - Application settings - manage applications my app appears there as installed. Honestly I think we are chasing the problem in the wrong path: even installing from SD card it is perfectly fine, indeed that was the only option I had when I purchased the mobile phone, as it was sim locked with developer options disabled. Then I unlock it and changed OS version (now running 2.2) and I can do the installation in the way you suggest and mostly important the device debugging. But the reason for which the application starts while debugging from eclipse and doesn't when installed is still a mystery. I wonder if it is due to the signature somehow, but again I am using same key + password + alias than before and the error message should be different. Thanks anyway!

Data change notifications are not delivered to processes that are not running. So if your sync adapter is not running for one reason or another (and the system kills processes when it needs resources), then you won't get a notification. 2. ContactsProvider sends only general whole adapter notifications, meaning that when any data element in the database changes it sends a notification to all observers regardless of what URIs they registered for. For example, somebody's presence in Talk changes - you will get a notification. Most of these notifications will have nothing to do with the changes you need to sync, but there is no way for the adapter to tell. 3. Having the sync adapter running at all times is a major waste of resources. Fortunately, the sync framework is designed to overcome all these issues. SyncManager manages sync adapters, calls them at the best time from the system's perspective, throttles their activities etc. Sync adapters themselves rely on RawContact.DIRTY flag and the ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER parameter to find and process incremental changes.

[android-developers] BufferPercentage never reaches 100 %
Hello, I have a video app that plays videos from urls. I have a MediaController that displays the progress of the playback and of the buffering. I have tested my app on different devices (HTC Magic - android 1.5 // Samsung apollo - android 2.1update1) and on it works fine.

My MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener onBufferingUpdate (MediaPlayer mp, int percent) never gets called with percent = 100. It stops around 95/97 and when the video reaches the end, it sometimes gets updated to 99 percent, but almost never to 100. It even occurs that the playback progress is bigger then the buffering progress... Also on the Desire the bufferingPercent value sometimes decreases: when it is stuck at e.g. 93% it occurs that it decreases to 92% and back... What could be the cause of these weird things?

Re: [android-developers] Re: SoundPool - sample XXX not READY
This doesn't solve your 256 limit problem but I just wanted to point out you
can still see sample XXX not READY even if you're only using 2 or 3 very
short sound samples. I've seen this with a 1 second OGG file on the Nexus One.
Now I'm not suggesting this is the best way to deal with it, but I play sounds
from a non UI thread and use code similar to this to prevent the need to reload
samples:
http://code.google.com/p/cgmd2010/source/browse/trunk/src/at/ac/tuwien/cg/cgmd/bifth2010/level84/SoundManager.java?spec=svn1192r=1192
Additionally, to deal with the larger samples (still under 1 second) not being
ready I use this awful fix.
int result = 0;
int abortCount = 100;
do {
result = mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(resID), streamVolume, streamVolume,
1, 0, 1f);
if(result == 0) {
try {
Thread.sleep(2);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} while(result == 0 abortCount-- 0);
This is not good, I'm aware of that, it can make the background thread sleep
for up to 200msecs before the sound is actually ready (in reality it's never
more than a couple of iterations). The point is it works, and I don't see any
callbacks for SoundPool (pre 2.2 / SoundPool.OnLoadCompleteListener) to let you
know when a sound sample is ready to play. If anyone can enlighten us that
would be brilliant.
You could look into using MediaPlayer for longer samples, the above I just used
for quick sound FX but that doesn't sound like a good fit for your case.

Okay, from a little more experimentation it appears after loading/
unloading 256 sounds things start to go awry. It seems to be 100%
reproducible in my application. I wasn't actually running the latest
Android SDK so I updated to latest, and specified the minimum/target
SDK version to be eight (instead of four) just for good measure, but
this doesn't help. After 256 sounds have been unloaded, the next load
never appears to complete.
After more searching on Google (I think I have read every result it
returns now), I came across this web page (in Japanese):
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/itog/20100927/1285550195
The Google translation does a good enough job for me to get the point
being conveyed (I believe). It says:
[Begin quote]
256 Wall
load () will be returned in the id is incremented from 0, for
convenience of memory management in the region of 256 native id
number. Me a total 257 load () error when trying to become.
ERROR / SoundPool (2693): Unable to load sample: (null)
unload () even if the load () can retrieve the id is not reused. To
clear the id
soundPool.release ()
The only state to clean everything once.
[End quote]
My interpretation of that is that there is an integer index, ever time
you load a sound you get back an incremented index. On the 257th load,
the index value you get back is 257, that this causes it to fail to
load with the above message (I actually get the above message with the
latest SDK and target version set to eight). When you get to this
stage, the only option appears to be to release the entire SoundPool,
create a new one, and carry on.
This seems to completely match what I am experiencing, so if this is
the case I am at least happy that my code is correct, but I am sad
that this is as good as it gets. It is not convenient for me to have
to destroy the SoundPool once an arbitrary number of sounds have been
loaded and unloaded. On the positive side, I can make some special
case code in my current application to have a sensible time to dump
out all sounds, clear the sound pool and recreate it, but it is far
from neat, and certainly not going to be a project generic, or
platform generic solution (I have never seen a platform like this
before where there is such a limit - certainly none of my other cross
compile targets suffer from this issue).
I would be interested to hear of anyone that believes that can
actually beat this 256 limit without calling 'release' on their
SoundPool. I do not feel my application is being particularly

game, and each level loads in a bunch of SFX specific for that level,
each level is relatively quick (some can just be a few seconds) so if
you play for a moderate amount of time, it is rather easy to have
loaded more than 256 sounds loaded and unloaded.

hurdle, or if you simply haven't hit the 256 limit.

[android-developers] Re: Schedule notification instead of permanently check
Hi,
I tried to implement a receiver that will be called when the device
booted:
receiver android:name=.AlertReceiver
intent-filter
action
android:name=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.HOME /
/intent-filter
/receiver
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED / is already
added in AndroidManifest.xml.
I am using the receiver for recognizing alarms AND want to use the
same for check whether the device has booted. The alarm came up, but I
found no output on log console for recognizing that the device booted
successfully. Here is the code of the receivers onReceive() method:
if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction()))
Log.i(AlertReceiver, Boot completed :D);
else {
Log.d(AlertReceiver, Intent action is: +
intent.getAction());
Toast.makeText(context, Alarm scheduled,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
System.out.println(AlertManager alert succeeded!);
}
I started the emulator without new installation of my app so I
expected the output Boot completed :D... What is my fault? Is my
receiver construct in the manifest incorrect?
Hope you can help me,
Thanks a lot!

Android already keeps a global registry of pending intents, so keeping a

when setting the alarm (including the request code).
The hash table can go away with the process, while alarms persist (with
them being inside Android). If you're relying on the map being an

Re: [android-developers] Re: Schedule notification instead of permanently check
Danny,
You don't need a category in the filter to receive BOOT_COMPLETED,
just action. In fact, that's probably the cause of your code not
receiving it.
Also I don't see the other action in the manifest, for receiving your
own alarms.

[android-developers] Re: Schedule notification instead of permanently check
Hi Kostya,
I removed the category, but have still the same issue: boot completed
is never recognized. You said you dont see the other action. I create
the Broadcast- Intent and put it into PendingIntent.getBroadcast(),
without a action in AndroidManifest:
...
alertReceiverIntent = new Intent(this, AlertReceiver.class);
alarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, task.getId(),
alertReceiverIntent, 0);
// insert a new alert
mAlarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, deliverTime, alarmSender);
...
The receiver is used like expected, onReceive() is called, but never
when the device came up.
I can try using a second receiver if it is ever possible, only for
boot recognization. But this seems not the best way... My receiver
should be able to differ between actions and do several things...
Thanks a lot!

Re: [android-developers] Re: Schedule notification instead of permanently check
Danny,
Your app's manifest for the broadcast action, as well as the permission,
look fine.
When you start the emulator, make sure you don't have Wipe user data
enabled, as that will erase the application, so it won't be available at
boot.
Other than that, maybe you're just not seeing the logcat message? Try
doing something more visible, like a notification or starting an activity.

[android-developers] Re: Schedule notification instead of permanently check
Kostya,
yeah, I am with you and think my AndroidManifest looks correct. I
figured out too, that all data get lost when Wipe user data is
enabled. I started the emulator always without Wipe user data but it
does not work. Maybe it is an emulator problem... I can try to figure
out on my real device and show up a notification with information
about intent's action when onReceive() is called.
I temporery implemented notification output and tested it on emulator.
One for boot action and one for any other. In any case there should be
a notification but when I restart the emulator nothing happened...
onReceive is not called. As said I'll try with my real device and give
response ASAP. If it does not work I try using a second receiver that
handles the boot action and nothing else... hope I can solve the
problem soon ;-)
Thanks for your help!

enabled, as that will erase the application, so it won't be available at
boot.
Other than that, maybe you're just not seeing the logcat message? Try
doing something more visible, like a notification or starting an activity.

Hi Kostya,
I removed the category, but have still the same issue: boot completed
is never recognized. You said you dont see the other action. I create
the Broadcast- Intent and put it into PendingIntent.getBroadcast(),
without a action in AndroidManifest:
...
alertReceiverIntent = new Intent(this, AlertReceiver.class);
alarmSender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, task.getId(),
alertReceiverIntent, 0);
// insert a new alert
mAlarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, deliverTime, alarmSender);
...
The receiver is used like expected, onReceive() is called, but never
when the device came up.
I can try using a second receiver if it is ever possible, only for
boot recognization. But this seems not the best way... My receiver
should be able to differ between actions and do several things...
Thanks a lot!

You don't need acategory in the filter to receive BOOT_COMPLETED,

Danny,
Android already keeps a global registry of pending intents, so keeping a
parallel hash map should not be necessary.
To cancel an alarm, you don't need a reference to the original Java
object, you can just construct a pending intent the same way as you did
when setting the alarm (including the request code).
The hash table can go away with the process, while alarms persist (with
them being inside Android). If you're relying on the map being an
up-to-date representation of your alarms, make sure that it's correctly
reconstructed from scratch - or get rid of it altogether.

Hi together,
using a second receiver worked for me:

action
android:name=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED /

out on my real device and show up a notification with information
about intent's action when onReceive() is called.
I temporery implemented notification output and tested it on emulator.
One for boot action and one for any other. In any case there should be
a notification but when I restart the emulator nothing happened...
onReceive is not called. As said I'll try with my real device and give

Rotation causes a complete teardown and recreate of your Activity, as you have already learned.

Otherwise, the remaining 3 are roughly equivalent, and the choice is a matter of design preference. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] FullScreen/NoTitleBar/Landscape activity incosistently shifting visually
I have an activity with a somewhat complicated view. Not complicated in a technical sense...there's just a lot going on. All activities in this particular app are set to FullScreen NoTitleBar, and they're all set to Landscape orientation. I noticed early on in development when the app is hidden and then resumes, there was an infrequent tendency for the layout to slide down vertically as if to make room for the titlebar and statusbar. Later on in development, the app now calls out to various external intents. I notice now that there is more of a tendency to make this same shift when resuming from an externally handled fired intent (such as creating a chooser intent or picking an image). I am able to reproduce it inconsistently using the exact same steps...sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. It seems as if there's a race condition in between various phases of measuring and laying out. I assume that one of these steps that the system is doing for me is checking for fullscreen and notitlebar, and making the necessary shift. This is probably happening late in some cases. I put a bunch of logging, and calls to invalidate(), requestLayout(), etc trying to maybe catch the race condition, but the problem seems external to my layouts. The top() and bottom() values of my root layout are always 0 and the height of my screen, respectively, even when I'm logging this while the issue is occurring. I asked this on StackOverflow, and neither of the two suggestions I was given worked (setting the fullscreen/notitlebar business in both the xml and in code, and calling getWindow().getDecorView().invalidate(); ). Is there some other method of the Window, WindowManager or any other system view-related object that I can force a full remeasure, redraw, re-check for current theme/style flags?

[android-developers] What layout objects are allowed in honeycomb app widgets?
Reading through the Honeycomb highlights doc here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0-highlights.html It says: Android 3.0 lets developers take home screen widgets to the next level, offering more types of content and new modes of interaction with users. Developers can now use more standard UI widget types home screen widgets, including widgets that let users flip through collections of content as 3D stacks, grids, or lists. Users can interact with the home screen widgets in new ways, such as by using touch gestures to scroll and flip the content displayed in a widget. However, as a developer I am not clear on what this means exactly. In the honeycomb SDK docs, there are no new layout/viewgroup types that are called out as being 'newly allowed' in honeycomb app widgets, however by looking at the samples I saw that there is a StackView in one app widget. Can you please give us more details about which layout objects are allowed in honeycomb app widgets? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Switch to already opened application from Notification
Hi, all
I have service and application. In some cases my service creates
Ongoing Notification in the Status bar. When user click it - my
application started. It is good, but sometimes my application is
already opened at this moment,
Tell me, please, what should I do to _switch_ to my application if it
is already opened, istead of creating new activity? I want to get the
same behavior as when I press application icon from the Application
list.
From manifest:
activity android:name=com.myapp.MyAppMainActivity
android:launchMode=singleTop
intent-filter
action
android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /
/intent-filter
/activity
Using code:
public static void startNotification(Context context, int resID, int
iconID, int titleTextID, int contentTextID) {
NotificationManager mNM =
(NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
CharSequence text = context.getText(contentTextID);
Notification notification = new Notification(iconID, text,
System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent activityToStart = new Intent(context,
MyAppMainActivity.class);
activityToStart.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_LAUNCHED_FROM_HISTORY);
PendingIntent contentIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, activityToStart, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context,
context.getText(titleTextID), text, contentIntent);
mNM.notify(resID, notification);
}

[android-developers] Re: High sensor usage in stand by
D-le Alex, you should learn to read between the lines :) Here is a snapshot from a phone I had once: PID CPU% S #THR VSS RSS PCY UID Name 2383 40% S 5 6340K760K fg compass /system/bin/some sensor server 3004 18% S15 240340K 31352K fg app_90 gpsstatus app from the market 2941 16% R 9 224140K 22656K bg app_87 my_top_secret_app_:) 2465 10% S64 336464K 62780K fg system system_server 3033 1% R 1844K412K fg root top As you can see the system process eats 40% of the CPU which is way too much for sensor reading task. Now, I'm not sure if it was a production phone or a development device with root access - this is why the phone name is not disclosed. But it is an example of how bad the low level sensors stuff could be implemented. Most likely they poll data from the port instead of waiting for an event. I did sensors porting once and pretty much sure this task should not take such large amount of CPU. Now, back to your case. List the top 10 CPU-eating processes and see if you have similar picture to the one above.

I think there are other scenarios that could also cause this - maybe a user exiting an app while a thread is still running and again the resources are no longer retrievable but a running thread tries to access them before it is shut down by android. That's not how things work. There is only one Resources object created for you for your .apk in your process. When a configuration change happens, its configuration is just updated. When that happens, it just flushes out any previously cached resources it had (holding an internal lock while doing so), so the next request will re-load it with the new configuration. Also, on the shipping platform fundamental resources like button images are pre-loaded in zygote, so they never need to be loaded by apps.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Honeycomb SDK
It works the following way: - you can keep building your project against a previous version and install it on the Honeycomb emulator. - if you compile against the Honeycomb APIs then it can only be installed on the Honeycomb preview emulator (because to build you have to put Honeycomb in the minSdkVersion of your manifest instead of an integer). This is because the current platform is tagged as being a preview. Those APIs are likely to change so we don't want you to publish something that will crash on the final version of Honeycomb.

I'm actually seeing the handler code show up in my profiler. And I'm passing
a lot of small data many times. As the code was initially built for parsing
while loading from the network with xml. And not the download then parse
json code.
In terms of synchronization issues, I use an interface between those pieces
of code anyway. So that shouldn't be a problem.

touches your data structures.
Performance wise there shouldn't be any fundamental difference between the
handler approach and the synchronized method approach since it's all within
the same process. No data copies are occuring in either case. The one thing
you might notice is a little bit of additional latency when using the
handler as this posts a runnable to the end of an event queue.

Thank you! I wasn't sure what was the cleanest way of doing it. And I'm
very familiar with threading, just not how java does it (and the
synchronized isn't something I'm familiar with from other platforms).
I'll try to push some of the sorting/filtering into the threads as well, to
reduce amount of time I spend in the main thread.

However,
you will need to be very careful to understand your semaphore

or deadlock will occur. Not responding is almost as bad as Data
corrupted due to bad inter-thread communication.
The use of Bundles and/or ContentProviders are to enable inter-process
data
passing, and to avoid some of the danger of errant deadlock
situations.

Hi
I've got an app that spawns of a seperate thread. Parses JSON data into
a
structure. And passes it back to the main thread through a handler. Each
part of data is sent through the handler individually. That worked
fairly
well with my previous XML parser, as XML parses data while it downloads.
But
JSON doesn't (atleast I haven't found a way to get that working). In
either
way the JSON data is much smaller and much faster to parse.
I've recently added a feature that requires me to load several sources
of
json in parallel, parse in the background, and pass all the data back
again
using a Handler. This is a bit slower than I was hoping.
Would it be faster (and possible) for me to do this:
BackgroundThread extends Thread {
onCreate (Parent) {
this.parent = parent;
}
onData {
parent.addParsedData(x);
}
}
Parent extends ListActivity {
ListAdapter list;
onCreate {
setListAdapter(list);
new BackgroundThread(this);
}
public synchronized addParsedData(data) {
list.add(data)
}
}
I'm thinking this won't be thread safe, as ListAdapter is in the parent
thread. Am I right?
Should I instead inside the listadapter (which puts data in an array)
have
synchronized access to it's items?

Re: [android-developers] Couple of Honeycomb API errors
Hi! Thanks for your feedback. android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.getAttachedDbs() returns ArrayList instead of List We'll get this fixed. android.os.AsyncTask onCancelled() uses the UK spelling of the word where everywhere else in the API, the US spelling variations are used. It's not just Canceled vs. Cancelled, but *ize vs. *ise. Yeah we noticed this in the API review. Unfortunately this *is* consistent with the other APIs on AsyncTask (and probably not coincidentally, the standard Java APIs like Future that AsyncTask is implemented on top of). :/ We decided it was better to keep the AsyncTask APIs self-consistent, rather than inconsistently consistent with other Android APIs. :} -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Honeycomb surprising result for WallpaperManager.getDesiredMinimumHeight()
These are just returning the values that the current home-screen set; they can be the same size as the longest size of the screen, or any size larger, depending on the kind if parallax scrolling the current home screen wants to do.
