Richard,

Adapter view binders are only a convenience feature, and you can always 
skip to the real stuff.


SimpleCursorTreeAdapter has this private method where mViewBinder is used:

private void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor, int[] 
from, int[] to) {

ViewBinder binder = mViewBinder;
for (int i = 0; i  to.length; i++) {
if (binder != null) {
bound = binder.setViewValue(v, cursor, from[i]);
}
... default case for when there is no binder ...
}
}

This method is called from public, API level 1, override-able SDK methods:

@Override
protected void bindChildView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor, 
boolean isLastChild) {

bindView(view, context, cursor, mChildFrom, mChildTo);
}

@Override
protected void bindGroupView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor, 
boolean isExpanded) {

bindView(view, context, cursor, mGroupFrom, mGroupTo);
}

So - override bindChildView / bindGroupView to format and set the values 
any way you like. You can even make your own MyBinder class and follow 
the general structure as above.


Also, if you're not using automatic view binding, your might as well 
derive your adapter from ResourceCursorTreeAdapter.


In general, my impression of Simple*Adapter classes is that they are 
like bicycles for small children (those with little wheels on the sides) 
- not a bad way to start, but you outgrow them pretty quickly.

Hi everyone

I've been stuck on this issue for a couple of days now and I think I'm 
close to murder, so any help would be greatly appreciated.


First just a little context.

I have a db with a Budget and Category tables. The fields are _id 
,CategoryID, Item and Amount. The amount is stored as a double. I've 
written my own db adapters and they are working no problem. So with 
lots of reading and searching I finally get my ExpandablListView to 
populate using my slightly modified SimpleCursorTreeAdapter. My custom 
adapter just changes the GetChildrenCursor to return the children 
associated with each category.


Now here's the problem:

The amount value is shown in the list and I would like to format how 
the value is displayed into a local currency. The formatting isn't the 
issue. The issue is that I can use a ViewBinder but only if I use API 
level 5 and up. But I want to use API level 4 and up.


So how do I change the way the data is displayed in my list items, 
without having to use a viewbinder... or at least, working withing the 
API 4 framework.


ANY advice or ideas would be appreciated!

[android-developers] Re: Checkout transitioning to monthly payouts?

2011-02-11 Thread String

Apparently there was an email around the 3rd of December. However, a lot of 
devs (including me) don't remember getting it; quite possibly it went into 
spam, official Google emails seem to fairly often. It was also discussed 
herehttps://groups.google.com/d/topic/android-discuss/AYsTjA1Vv00/discussion

about the same time.

But I agree, it's not been handled well, and better notification would have

Amit,

- With an alarm, the phone is only guaranteed to be awake for the 
duration of your receiver's onReceive callback. Anything past that, you 
need a WakeLock.


- startForegroud has nothing to do with wake/sleep modes, it has to do 
with how important your service is to the user (and hence, how Android 
treats it).


- The screen light is different from the CPU being awake. If you don't 
need the screen to light up, use a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK:

You can tell the framework that your service is doing something
important and should not be killed by calling startForeground (and
stopForeground when done). Those are Android 2.0 API methods.

This is exalained here:

Another option is to make it so that your service can handle being

Re: [android-developers] ExpandableListViews, SimpleCursorTreeAdapters and my sanity

2011-02-11 Thread Richard Marsh

Kostya,

Thank you SO much for taking the time to reply. I guess the next rookie
question would be: Do I get the source code for the SimpleCursorTreeAdapter
and modify it to build my own

I was playing around with that idea and when I tried to overwrite the method
below, my custom adapter didn't recognize the variables mChildFrom and
mChildTo. I assumed that with apis after level 4 had changed the parent
classes that define and assign those arrays.

@Override
protected void bindChildView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor,
boolean isLastChild) {
bindView(view, context, cursor, mChildFrom, mChildTo);
}

I'm ok with the idea of building my own adapter from the base adapters.
I'm just not sure how to access the source code, what is derived from the
parent classes etc. I'm sorry if these questions seems stupid, but I've only
been at this for about a month.

Alos, if I look at the documentation here
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/SimpleCursorTreeAdapter.htmland
filter it on API level 4, I don't see a bindView method. Is the method
inherited?

One last question, to be clear on your suggestion, is that I override the
bindChildView and bindGroupView methods?

Again, thank you for replying.

[android-developers] Android Licensing

Hello,

I do not understand the licence-situation in Android.

I have found that some components of Android have its own licenses:

Android itself: Apache
SQlite: Public Domain
Bionic: BSD
Webkit: BSD+LGPL
SDL: LGPL
Linux-Kernel GPL

My 2 questions:

Why is it called that Android is complete licenced by Apache?

Does the Android Open Source Project contain the Android Linux-Kernel

[android-developers] Re: How to intercept when the application is brought to foregroud from background

2011-02-11 Thread mah

If your intention is to call another activity in order to perform some
work -- do you control that activity? Start it for result rather
than simply starting it. That way you'll get a callback (with its
result) when it finishes.

I agree with Mark, you should not care about what activities outside
of your control do. You should code as if they don't exist, and if
there's some reason to consider the user logged out, it should not
be based on what activity is current. Is there some use case you can
think of that justifies taking special action just because the user,
for example, opened their messaging app to reply to the message they
just received?

Re: [android-developers] Camera preview

That example has a flaw -- it hard-wires in /sdcard as the location of
external storage. Use File.getExternalStorageDirectory() for that
instead, or some other spot.

Here is another sample project:

https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-advandroid/tree/master/Camera/Picture

This one is more complex, because it uses a front-facing camera on
Android 2.3+, but otherwise it does the same basic things as the

Hi,

Has anyone tried this flag for wipeData()? I think
WIPE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE flag doesn't work because after calling the
function, it will reset the phone to factory settings leaving the
previous data on the external storage device. I hope someone can
confirm about this one. Check the documentation link below.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to intercept when the application is brought to foregroud from background


My two cents as an imagined user of this application:

Do not log me out just because your activity was deactivated.

If I'm using your application and want to respond to an incoming phone 
call, or another event (such as an SMS or a new email notification) - 
when done with that quick interruption, I want to come back to your 
application and continue with whatever I was doing.


Requiring me to log in again, even though I was away for a short time, 
would seriously interrupt the flow of interacting with the phone.


Rather, implement a scheme where sessions are time limited.

This of course assumes that the application does not contain 
security-sensitive data, then it's different (but I don't see you saying 
it is).

Re: [android-developers] ExpandableListViews, SimpleCursorTreeAdapters and my sanity


Richard,

To keep it simple, I would recommend:

1. Override bindChildView and set your floating point value manually. 
You can get the value from the cursor, call findViewById() on the view 
that's passed it to get the TextView that should show the value, format 
the value as a string, and then call 
amountTextTiew.setText(formattedAmountValueString);


2. Call the base class bindChildView from your own to take care of all 
the other data items / views except the floating point one.


3. Pass from/to arrays to SimpleCursorTreeAdapter that have all data 
item / view IDs - except the floating point amount data item, which is 
handled by pt. 1.


With this, you won't need to do too much work in your overrides, won't 
need to copy and modify any code from Android, won't need access to 
private data members of SimpleCursorTreeAdapter, and won't need to rely 
on ViewBinder that only appeared in API level 5:

Richard,

Adapter view binders are only a convenience feature, and you can
always skip to the real stuff.

SimpleCursorTreeAdapter has this private method where mViewBinder
is used:

private void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor,
int[] from, int[] to) {
ViewBinder binder = mViewBinder;
for (int i = 0; i  to.length; i++) {
if (binder != null) {
bound = binder.setViewValue(v, cursor, from[i]);
}
... default case for when there is no binder ...
}
}

This method is called from public, API level 1, override-able SDK
methods:

@Override
protected void bindChildView(View view, Context context, Cursor
cursor, boolean isLastChild) {
bindView(view, context, cursor, mChildFrom, mChildTo);
}

@Override
protected void bindGroupView(View view, Context context, Cursor
cursor, boolean isExpanded) {
bindView(view, context, cursor, mGroupFrom, mGroupTo);
}

So - override bindChildView / bindGroupView to format and set the
values any way you like. You can even make your own MyBinder class
and follow the general structure as above.

Also, if you're not using automatic view binding, your might as
well derive your adapter from ResourceCursorTreeAdapter.

In general, my impression of Simple*Adapter classes is that they
are like bicycles for small children (those with little wheels on
the sides) - not a bad way to start, but you outgrow them pretty
quickly.

since these are from multiple vendors it was up to them to pick the

[android-developers] Sliding Drawer or Translate Animation?

2011-02-11 Thread Aaron Buckner

Ok I have an app requirement that seems to be a little off the beaten
path, My app needs to have a button on the bottom of the screen when a
user clicks on it the drawer should open to a specified position
revealing a horizontal listview, when the user clicks on one of those
items it opens another sliding drawer above the previous drawer
leaving it in place to allow another item to be selected.

Now as far as I can tell this isn't really supported as part of the
sliding drawer and I've pretty much worked out how to do it with
Translate animation however I have run into the problem with the
hitbox not following the animation, is there a straight forward way to
refresh the hitbox position or redraw the layout or do I need to
create a new layout and call it on completion?

You don't need to create a new layout, but you do need to adjust
your existing layout upon completion to make the new positioning rules
stick. Here is an example:

Use setDataAndType(). setType() nulls out your Uri. And, again, this

[android-developers] Re: Getting rid of the blink after a TranslateAnimation

2011-02-11 Thread Hari Edo


Note that the usual matrix-manipulating animations don't change the
hit-testing for a view, so you have to actually move the real view
if you plan on animating a view that is touchable.

My app, Qwiz - Hiragana, uses a LOT of drag and drop of views,
and touchable views that move around on their own initiative.

I implemented a true Animation class that adjusts the view's
position instead of manipulating the drawing transform matrix.
Then you don't need to reinvent the wheel of timing and iterating
and interpolating things (and you can use all of the other fun
iterators to bounce or wiggle the view).  I use a FrameLayout to
support moving things around by their margin coordinates, instead
of an AbsoluteLayout, but the idea is the same.

On Feb 10, 10:40 pm, Mark markree...@gmail.com wrote:
 I'm using TranslateAnimation  to actually move a View from one place

 actually do this without having the View blink out for a second at the
 end of the animation...  If you've managed to do this without the
 blink please share.

 Has anyone tried doing the translate themselves with AbsoluteLayout?
 It looks like I'll have to duplicate the translate functionality by
 using a Handler to act as a run loop and move the View myself? A
 handler isn't a separate thread right? I just use it to to call a move
 function every X ms?

[android-developers] Why is onUpdate() called for my widgets even though I have a configuration activity?

2011-02-11 Thread Mattias Svala

As far as I can tell, if I have defined a configuration activity for my 
widget then onUpdate should not be called when it is first created. It would 
be the configuration activity's responsibility to perform the initial 
configuration of the widget.

Why is it then that I still get calls to onUpdate in the widget provider, 
and after that call the configuration activity is started. If I cancel the 
configuration activity I get no visible widget on the home screen. If I have 
cancelled a widget configuration (by pressing back in the configuration 
activity) and reinstall the APK all the widgets, including the cancelled 
ones, each gets mentioned in calls to onUpdate.

Surely this shouldn't be so. And if it is, then how do I get rid of the 
widgets that was cancelled during configuration.

I'm running my code on the emulator with Android 1.6.

Re: [android-developers] Why is onUpdate() called for my widgets even though I have a configuration activity?

onUpdate being called is a bug, and contradicts what's in the 
documentation. A widget is created, but won't be shown until after the 
config activity returns.


The widget ID still being there even if you cancel the config activity 
is also a bug on some versions of Android.


I documented my workaround for the second bug here:

[android-developers] Re: Insrumentation testing in Android

2011-02-11 Thread Oleg Popenov

Thanks for your response!

But now I have some questions could you please answer?

1) As I understand it should be built at the same time with the
platform building. Any specific parameters to build?  After build I
need to install them? How can I do that?
2) Is there any way to run tests during building? Is it possible to
abort building if any tests failed?

I made some changes in Adndroid platform and I need to test them. I
think the best way to do it like native Android tests.

Appreciate any help.
Most sincerely, Oleg

[android-developers] Poor relevancy in Android market since yesterday.

2011-02-11 Thread MB

Hi,

I am noticing that the Android market search results have become
extremely irrelevant since yesterday.
This change in search quality(for the worse) is a recent one. Is
anyone else noticing this? I haven't seen any official communication
from Android market team on their blog regarding any changes in
Android market search algorithm.

Here are a few examples.

1.) Search for 'english news'. The first result is'NIV Bible', the
second result is an app in Asian (non-English) language, the third
result is 'China daily'.

2.) Search for 'trail map'. The first app has nothing to do with trail
maps. The fourth app onwards are apps in Asian (non-English)
languages.


Thanks,

Re: [android-developers] Checkout transitioning to monthly payouts?

Yeah.  I'm well aware that Google is horrible at end user support, and that
it is unrealistic to expect them to either apologize or actually do
something about it.  To be clear, I have enough savings anyway that this is
not devastating for me, but rather an annoyance.  But then, I also have a
full-time job, so I'll get a paycheck between now and 3/2 anyway.  It is
really easy to become dependent on daily pay though, especially if that is
your only income.

Email or not, this should have been on one or both of the Android and
Checkout blogs.

The Market search has always been terrible. That it's gotten worse is
impressive.

There never has been, AFAIK, and probably never will be. Communicating with
developers is not something the Android Market Team does.

After you've been on the Market long enough, you will learn to ignore issues
like this. This is usually the bug of the week, and they may eventually
fix it - or more likely replace it with another bug. Stressing out over it
will lead to nothing but your own premature balding.

[android-developers] Regarding Device ID

2011-02-11 Thread Sudhakar Chavali

Hello All

It appears to be there is no generic solution to uniquely identify the
device . I am reading lot of discussions here and in stackoverflow.
But I did not come across a standard solution and all are based on
developer's temporary requirements. (IMEI, MEID, ANDROID_ID, Google
account etc nothing are standard).

I have done some tests on HTC, DroidX, Droid2, Nexus phones, which are
either GSM or CDMA with Sim available on them). Surprisingly some
phones returned NULL when I am trying to read IMEI/MEID using method
android.telephony.TelephonyManager.getDeviceId(). (Note: all the
permissions are given to app to read this info)
Because of this I cannot rely on this method for uniquely identifying
the device.

I thought to rely in using getSimSerialNumber () for uniquely
identifying the SIMs atleast. But even this did not work for me.

Because of this most of the applications which needs some kind of app
security will run into problems.

When I am reading through this discussion
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/53898e508fab44f6/84e54feb28272384?lnk=raotpli=1,
I am surprised to see that manufacturers did not take care and
consider of this serious thing.

As we are seeing lot of android devices in both phone and non phone
environments and in addition IT world also looking at providing their
solutions on the android space, I believe this must be the high time
to standardize the procedure for both software and hardware
manufacturers for using/generating unique id in identifying android
device.

So, how to persuade hardware and software manufacturers in this case?
Any thoughts?

Thanks Regards
Sudhakar Chavali

[android-developers] Live Wallpaper canvas gradient banding

Hey guys

First time i'm posting. I was hoping that one of you might have had some
experience with this.

I am painting to the canvas on every Runnable.run call with a changing
colour and i'm hoping to put a gradient over the top but the gradient i'm
creating is banding horribly. After Googling around for a day I came up with
2 solutions:
set the dither to true
set the canvas bitmap to ARGB_

i've tried doing the first one (set dither to true) on the getWallpaper()
and the Paint object but it's not helped (I can't see any dithering at all)
so I've tried changing the canvas bitmap but i'm not sure how to actually
display it

// _canvasBmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(metrics.widthPixels,
metrics.heightPixels, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_);

_shadowPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
_shadowPaint.setShader(new RadialGradient(metrics.widthPixels / 2,
metrics.heightPixels / 2, metrics.heightPixels / 2, 0x, 0x3300,
Shader.TileMode.CLAMP));
_shadowPaint.setDither(true); // this hasn't seemed to have done anything

// my main rendering method is this (based on the Google live wallpaper
example)
void drawFrame()
{
final SurfaceHolder holder = getSurfaceHolder();

Canvas c = null;
try
{
c = holder.lockCanvas();

// this was my attempt to update the bitmap to one that was ARGB_ but it
didn't render at all
//c.setBitmap(_canvasBmp);
 if (c != null)
{
// draw something
drawBackground(c);
drawTouchPoint(c);
drawShading(c);
drawBorder(c);
 getWallpaper().setDither(true); // yet another attempt to get some kind of
dithering going to no avail
}
}
finally
{
if (c != null)
holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c);
}

_handler.removeCallbacks(_drawClock);
 if (_isVisible)
{
_handler.postDelayed(_drawClock, 1000 / 25);
}
}


private void drawShading(Canvas c)
{
c.drawRect(_screenBounds, _shadowPaint);

There  are lot of examples shared by people in their blogs.

This is basically in understanding how you can make use of Handler
instance and Thread instance. See below link that could help you.

 Hello all:

 I was wondering if there is a way to have a splash image display while
 my app is loading? As it is right now, it's just a black screen until
 the main activity launches and it may confuse people into thinking
 that the app is stuck or not launching properly.

 Thanks,

No, you can't have any splash screen while app is loading. If your
app needs some time to start up *after* being loaded by OS, then
you may show up something (splash image, progress bar etc)
to notice users you're loaded and yet busy working...

[android-developers] Re: Checkout transitioning to monthly payouts?

2011-02-11 Thread Nathan

Now people notice?

They actually came from Google Checkout. If you logged into your
Google Checkout account, it would make you accept these terms
eventually. The holding payments was in the fine print.

I was the one who posted that discussion when I saw the new terms. The
response I got was that this is standard in the industry, which is
true. But it also seemed like noone was inconvenienced. I was told to
volunteer at soup kitchens or something like that. I thought that
meant that no one was making more than pennies from Android. I can see
now that the announcement was simply a little bit too low key.

I don't have a day job. I actually sold stocks from my former day job
to cover this gap in income that I knew was coming.  Having a savings
buffer is a good idea anyway, but I've burned through a lot in the
time it takes to develop an app and build up a customer base.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Checkout transitioning to monthly payouts?

Ugh. I'm sorry I didn't see your original post about it, Nathan. That would
have at least saved me from the surprise.

Actually, we didn't have a buffer savings exactly.  What we had was tax
savings.  We put 18% of every deposit into a savings account not to be
touched until tax season.  We operate under the assumption that we will have
to send all of that to Uncle Sam.  As it turned out, we not only got to keep
that, but we're actually getting a small refund (3 kids and lots of expense
deductions).  That money is what what will keep us floating through Feb.  It
is now our vacation savings, so we'll have to replenish it when 3/2 comes
around.  (We have restarted tax savings for this year, and we won't have to
dip into that.)

The comment Anyone who is that dependent on daily deposits should start
saving their money now or perhaps find a temp job at their local food bank
for the period they won't be seeing those pennies flowing into their
account. from John Coryat is more than a little condescending.  While I am
not extremely dependent on daily deposits, I can certainly attest that I
make more than pennies a day.  I actually make more on sales from my one
paid app than from my full time job.

[android-developers] Android Market Certificate Error

2011-02-11 Thread Droider

I'm getting the following error while trying to upload an upgrade for
my app on the andriod market. I have foolishly been using a test key
from an autocompile, sign and zip align script.

Market does not accept apks signed with certificates issued by
Android team. Create a new certificate that is valid for at least 50
years.

The Solution

The apk must be signed with the same certificates as the previous
version

Go Figure?

So thats what I did, but then it said use the same certificate used to
sign the application?

So which one do you want me to do?

Any way I have heard you can sign an apk twice so market would accept
the upload and the users could be transferred to the new certificate
but I got jarsigner errors trying to do that. If anyone has a step by
step guide that would be great.

Most of my apps on the market are done using the same key. Could
anyone provide any hope or a way out?

The Market should provide a way to change the cert. Even if the users
have to uninstall the app it would save the users favorite apps on the
market instead of publishers having to create a new pack name. Help!

Usually you click the launcher icon and then an image is displayed for a

[android-developers] Re: Checkout transitioning to monthly payouts?

2011-02-11 Thread Nathan

Now that Google is buying the software from us in bulk and selling it
to the consumer individually with a 30% markup, it really calls into
question Google's presumption that they are *not* the retailer.

Google should really be the one collecting and reporting the sales tax
now, and we should consider this as royalties or wholesale sales.

Getting a lump sum may seem easier for accounting, but it isn't. My
accountant still has to sift through the entire list and determine
which transactions are in state for sales tax purposes.

The distinction, if any, between loading and starting, is entirely in 
your code.


Android brings your process into memory, creates the main activity, and 
starts calling its lifecycle methods: onCreate, onStart, onResume, and 
off you go.


If you have a lengthly operation (to load textures in a game, unpack 
compressed RSS stream, etc.), then you can:


1. have your main activity set its content to a splash image;
2. schedule lengthy operations on a background thread, AsyncTask (or any 
other way that doesn't tie up the UI);
3. handshake back to the main activity when those lengthy operations are 
completed, and present the UI for interacting with your application.


Item 2 is a good idea anyway, because if you run a lengthy operation in 
one of the above lifecycle callbacks (onCreate, etc.), and it exceeds 
the time limit allowed by Android, then the user will see the ANR popup 
(Application Not Responding - giving the user a choice to kill it or to 
give it more time).




Usually you click the launcher icon and then an image is displayed for 
a short time and then the app starts. I assumed the image is used as a 
placeholder while the app finishes loading.


I believe Android just animates a mock-up of the activity, based on what 
it can gather from the manifest (the color scheme and the title). This 
happens before onCreate.

Re: [android-developers] splash image when app is loading

Yes this may be the way to go for me. My main activity has to setup and
prepare a couple of MediaPlayer objects to play some streaming audio...this
may take a while on a slow connection and I've seen some examples that use
the onPostExecute method of an AsyncTask to tell the activity when to stop
displaying the splash image.

Thanks for the tips...I'll look into this more.

[android-developers] Concurrent database activity

2011-02-11 Thread Julius Spencer

Hi,

I have an IntentService which syncs data from a server and takes a few minutes. 
 The operation is database intensive locally (SQLite).

I would like the user to be able to continue to use the application while the 
sync operation is going which involves the odd write to the database.

Currently I'm getting database is locked errors.  Has anyone come across this 
issue before and solved it?

Regards,

[android-developers] Re: Insrumentation testing in Android

2011-02-11 Thread A. Elk

As far as I can tell, you've built your own version of the Email
client, and now you're trying to test it.

To do this, you have to build both the client application and the test
package.

In general, to build a test package for an application you have to be
able to build both of them from source. The test package and the
application have to be signed with the same key, as a security
feature. Once you build them, you need to install them to the device.

Afterwards, you can change the application and re-install it without
having to re-build or re-install the test package, and vice versa. You
still have to use the same key each time.

The process of installing applications and test packages is documented
in the Dev Guide. Go to the Dev Guide tab under Developing and look at
Building and Running and also Testing.

You can certainly run tests as the last part of your build process.
You can't do this easily in Eclipse, but you can do it by modifying
your Ant scripts. You can also run unit tests during a build if you're
testing a unit that doesn't depend on Android. To test something that
needs to run on Android, such as an Activity, you have to build it
into an application and install it on Android before you can test it.

When you say the best way to do it like native Android tests, you
should look at the /tests subdirectory for the Email project. It
should contain unit tests for the client. You can use them as a
starting point for doing your own testing.

 Thanks for your response!

 But now I have some questions could you please answer?

 1) As I understand it should be built at the same time with the
 platform building. Any specific parameters to build?  After build I
 need to install them? How can I do that?
 2) Is there any way to run tests during building? Is it possible to
 abort building if any tests failed?

 I made some changes in Adndroid platform and I need to test them. I
 think the best way to do it like native Android tests.

 Appreciate any help.

[android-developers] Re: Concurrent database activity

2011-02-11 Thread DanH

SQLite implements its own locking protocol internally.  If you want
operations to wait rather than fail, you need to wrap operations from
both sources with your own synchronization primitives that wait rather
than fail.

Re: [android-developers] splash image when app is loading

2011-02-11 Thread Kevin Duffey

I was going to suggest something similar to what Kostya suggested. As he
said, if you're taking time to load things in an onCreate, first you want to
move it to a thread (AsyncTask). What I do is I've found one of the examples
out there that sets my launcher to the SplashScreenActivity. In my case, I
do it just for showing info about the app, author, etc. So I have a timer
counting down for 15 seconds (which is way too long). If the user touches
the screen at any point, it then times out immediately. Either way, it
starts my main activity at that point. As Kostya said, in your case, once
your background loading stuff is done, start the main activity. This way
they see your splash screen until all the loading is done. You can even make
an animated splash screen to help alleviate the amount of time it seems a
person is waiting.

 The distinction, if any, between loading and starting, is entirely in your
 code.

 Android brings your process into memory, creates the main activity, and
 starts calling its lifecycle methods: onCreate, onStart, onResume, and off
 you go.

 If you have a lengthly operation (to load textures in a game, unpack
 compressed RSS stream, etc.), then you can:

 1. have your main activity set its content to a splash image;
 2. schedule lengthy operations on a background thread, AsyncTask (or any
 other way that doesn't tie up the UI);
 3. handshake back to the main activity when those lengthy operations are
 completed, and present the UI for interacting with your application.

 Item 2 is a good idea anyway, because if you run a lengthy operation in
 one of the above lifecycle callbacks (onCreate, etc.), and it exceeds the
 time limit allowed by Android, then the user will see the ANR popup
 (Application Not Responding - giving the user a choice to kill it or to give
 it more time).



 Usually you click the launcher icon and then an image is displayed for a
 short time and then the app starts. I assumed the image is used as a
 placeholder while the app finishes loading.


 I believe Android just animates a mock-up of the activity, based on what
 it can gather from the manifest (the color scheme and the title). This
 happens before onCreate.

Re: [android-developers] splash image when app is loading

Yes this makes sense...I have a question regarding how my app is set up
though...I'm using a tabbed interface where each tab launches a new
activity. So basically the activity that would launch first sets up the tabs
and then starts the activity that is in the first tab...So would I put my
splash screen code in the activity that sets up the tabs, or put it in the
activity that the user actually sees once the tabs are done setting up?

I'm new to android programming and I've basically built my app from seeing
examples of similar things that I want to accomplish in my app. This came
about because I got the app running perfectly in the emulator...but when I
tested it on two different real devices, it wouldn't load at all on one and
it seemed to work ok on the other.

It seemed to install correctly on the device that it wouldn't load on, it
just never got past the black screen before the first activity starts. And
then it would take forever to even try and go back to the device's home
screen. So I'm trying to go back and look at my code and see if there is
something I could re-work to make it more efficient or something.

This seems like an infinite loop somewhere.

Since you don't have access to the device, I would recommend you follow 
the advice given by TreKing: ask the user to install one of the many 
logcat - collecting applications from Market and send you the logs. To 
make this more useful, inspect your code and add frequent logging 
statements, especially around and in places that process data.

Re: [android-developers] splash image when app is loading

2011-02-11 Thread Kevin Duffey

First, are you using debug mode with your physical device plugged in to the
USB slot and deploying that way? It will allow you to watch the LogCat
output, you can put Log.i() info throughout your code to try to trace it or
use the debugger and break points, whichever your fancy. You may see why one
device is taking a long time and the other isnt.

As for the tabs and what to do.. I would create a completely new Activity,
called SplashActivity or whatever. Separate layout xml for it. Put that as
your starting launcher. From there, you would launch your activity that sets
up the tabs. I haven't done anything with tabs yet.. is ti required that
each tab be a separate activity.. is that the normal way it works (anyone)?
I would have thought you could use a single activity and listen for tab
changes and set the content view to a new view for that tab, rather than
separate activities for each. If you can do that, then you load all your
data during the splash screen, then start the tab activity and you are good
to go. If it is pretty common or the only way to do tabs is with separate
activities, then generally I take the lazy approach. A user may never select
any other tab, so why load the data for it up front? That takes up
resources. If you have too much data, you could degrade the device
performance, and cause android to shut down other running applications
(er..running but in pause mode of course). If each tab requires a couple
seconds or so to load data, maybe in the tab switching handler, put up a
simple alert box with a spinning meter to show something is happening. I'd
also look at releasing the previously selected tabs data. From what I've
learned, even with 256MB up to 1GB or more ram, you are still very limited
in memory because of the potential of other apps running (again, in pause
mode while your app is up on top) and consuming resources. You want to try
to play nice with the overall idea of multiple apps running as much as
possible. Don't forget to release all your resources in the onPause handler
for each activity, and handle those events properly.

Re: [android-developers] splash image when app is loading

yes someone else suggested an endless loop as well...but I haven't written
any loops in my code at all. I am definitely planning on taking TreKing's
advice about that...as soon as I can get with my tester we'll work it
out...In the mean time I am going back to the code to see if I can make it
more efficient.

Part of my app has to access some RSS feeds from the website for my company
and we've been having server issues so I know that was causing problems. Our
streaming servers are separate so the device that was actually running the
app had no problems accessing the streams but could not access the feeds due

  It seemed to install correctly on the device that it wouldn't load on, it

 then it would take forever to even try and go back to the device's home
 screen.


 This seems like an infinite loop somewhere.

 Since you don't have access to the device, I would recommend you follow the
 advice given by TreKing: ask the user to install one of the many logcat -
 collecting applications from Market and send you the logs. To make this more
 useful, inspect your code and add frequent logging statements, especially
 around and in places that process data.

 I mentioned this intent ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE in
 the manifest file but it didn't work. Can u kindly explain the
 reason ?

No, because I have no idea what you were expecting to happen when you
mentioned that Intent action. That broadcast action is documented
here:
