[android-developers] Re: Check permissions
Hi, thank you for this suggestion A put the following line in the manifest of my content provider addon (MYPERMISSION is replaced by the correct value): permission android:name=MYPERMISSION android:protectionLevel=signature/ And I didn't put uses-permission tag for this permission in the main app of mine but it could use the provider. Is it ok or not? Need I to declare this permission as required? On Feb 27, 6:19 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: There is *no* need to use a shared used ID. Signature-based permissions do this, in a much more clean way. Also as pointed out, you can't change your app to a shared used ID if it doesn't already use one. And I really discourage people from using shared user IDs; there are lots of subtle implications of doing that, which I would prefer just be avoided.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Verify Service is real and not a spoof one.
You can have some kind of challenge / response function in the service's interface. Now, if the service is local (android:exported=false) then it won't be available to other applications, so this whole issue doesn't apply - unless someone decompiles and rebuilds your application. But in that case, they could disable any validation code in your service and activity. So keep this scenario in mind - either keep it really simple and just rely on local service, or implement measures against code changes, like obfuscation and signature checking. -- Kostya 04.03.2011 4:17, dnkoutso пишет: As an added note, I know I can verify from the Service if the application that is trying to bind is a valid one, I am actually asking the opposite, how can the application ensure it is bound to the real service?

Re: [android-developers] Refreshing ListView data within an Activity every 5-10 seconds, which approach to take?
It just depends on what kind of server you're dealing with. If it's your own, you could implement a simple push scheme by keeping the TCP/IP connection open after the initial data download, and having the server send new data over this connection. The client would just check every few seconds if the socket has readable data, and if so, read it and update the UI. A variation of this would use two connections, one for notifications, and one for data. As far as the UI goes - first, you could display the standard progress wheel in the activity's title bar, second, you could add a special footer to your list view that says Loading... and is then pushed out of sight by the new data item. -- Kostya 04.03.2011 7:14, Chris Stewart пишет: I have a service I'm pulling data from and they suggest doing so every 5-10 seconds it's designed to be a near-real-time experience.

However, introducing that automatically in such a short increment of time would be an annoying user experience. Is there a nice way to approach this problem in Android? I'd like to be able to run an update on the data I'm pulling from the web without disrupting the end user's experience. Ideally, not even disrupting them if they happen to be scrolling the view. The data itself will always be additions to data that's already been pulled down, so essentially I'm adding records to my Adapter every 5-10 seconds. -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

TexView has an attribute android:drawableTop. With that you can

draw an image above the text.
Or you can use a vertical linear layout as the view element (wtih

[android-developers] Cannot always launch DevicePolicyManager activity from another activity
Hi,
I have some strange problem. When I try to launch DevicePolicyManager
activity from my main activity, it loads properly. However, when I
make a notification, call QuestionActivity (if user clicks the
notification), and then try to call DevicePolicyManager activity from
QuestionActivity, I get (logcat):
INFO/ActivityManager(104): Starting activity: Intent
{ act=android.app.action.ADD_DEVICE_ADMIN
cmp=com.android.settings/.DeviceAdminAdd (has extras) }
WARN/InputManagerService(104): Window already focused, ignoring focus
gain of: com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub
$Proxy@4514a2d0
And nothing appears. This is strange for me, cause I'm able to launch
different Android OS activity from QuestionActivity:
//This works
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_BLUETOOTH_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
But I cannot launch the DevicePolicyManager with:
//This works from main activity, but not from QuestionActivity
MyDeviceAdmin admin = new MyDeviceAdmin(this);
Intent intent = new
Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_ADD_DEVICE_ADMIN);
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_DEVICE_ADMIN,
admin.getDeviceAdminComponent());
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_ADD_EXPLANATION,
Additional text explaining why this needs to be
added.);
startActivityForResult(intent, 234234234);
I would be very grateful for any help, cause I'm completely stuck.

[android-developers] Re: Help Getting the Context
One alternative is to look for, or create, a public singleton. A public singleton is a class that (1) ever only has one instance, and (2) that instance can be located from anywhere by means of a static method. One candidate for singleton status is Application -- it is a Context, and you expect there'll only be one of them. In your extension of Application, have the constructor save 'this' to a static field, and have a public static method to get the saved reference. Voi la, you can now get a useful Context from anywhere. Most apps don't use an Application extension, but you can use this pattern on pretty much any class.

Hari, Yes, I am familiar with singletons. As a mtter ofr fact, the class that I am creating is going to be a singleton - which is why I don't want to construct it with a context. So your suggestion is that I extend the Application class using the singleton pattern? And my extension saves 'this' (the context) as a static member of my singleton?

Re: [android-developers] Refreshing ListView data within an Activity every 5-10 seconds, which approach to take?
Thanks for the replies. I should clarify some of the points you both mentioned. This server is not in my control at all, so any kind of push would be out of the question I suppose. I only want to pull in short increments if the user is actively using the Activity in question, not if the phone is locked, or they're in another app, or even in my app but in another Activity. I know I could refresh the init method I have which kicks off the thread to pull new data but given the ProgressDialog it shows, I think it would be annoying to see that so frequently when the user isn't actively requesting it. If I use the small loading icon, I suspect since the UI and data pull are running on different threads it wouldn't lock up the UI on the end user but I'll need to test that for performance/responsiveness. Maybe I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. Long term, I would like to do this in longer intervals (30+ minutes) when the user is not actively in the app or on this Activity and toss up a notification if something interesting happens with the new data. While also retaining the 5-10 second interval when they are actively looking at this Activity. Long term... :) -- Chris Stewart http://chriswstewart.com On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 4:22 AM, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote: It just depends on what kind of server you're dealing with. If it's your own, you could implement a simple push scheme by keeping the TCP/IP connection open after the initial data download, and having the server send new data over this connection. The client would just check every few seconds if the socket has readable data, and if so, read it and update the UI. A variation of this would use two connections, one for notifications, and one for data. As far as the UI goes - first, you could display the standard progress wheel in the activity's title bar, second, you could add a special footer to your list view that says Loading... and is then pushed out of sight by the new data item. -- Kostya 04.03.2011 7:14, Chris Stewart пишет: I have a service I'm pulling data from and they suggest doing so every 5-10 seconds it's designed to be a near-real-time experience.

However, introducing that automatically in such a short increment of time would be an annoying user experience. Is there a nice way to approach this problem in Android? I'd like to be able to run an update on the data I'm pulling from the web without disrupting the end user's experience. Ideally, not even disrupting them if they happen to be scrolling the view.

It's usually left to be the default, Application, but you simply name your Application extension class there, and Android constructs your class instead of the default.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to use the static fragment library in legacy apps?
If it helps, ApiDemos has all of the same fragment samples as the ones originally released for HC, but using this library. You can run them from App/Fragment Support in the UI, and the code is the Fragment*Support.java files that are right next to the existing ones for the HC framework. Also be sure to look at the source for FragmentActivity.java, which has some documentation in the class java doc giving an overview.

Some of them got fixed (I forget which and when - you can check http://b.android.com), some others still aren't, it seems. In any case, them being fixed now doesn't help when running on an older version of Android. The only solution I found is to track validity state for each widget id.

[android-developers] Re: How do you exclude sales to a specific country?
This is basic, but what happens when I turn off a country? Suppose there are some people (though not many) who have already bought it? Suppose there are some people who have already downloaded the demo version? What will the experience be like for these people? I opened it up to all countries in the beginning, which I now think was rather stupid. Why would I pass up potential customers? Well, my app has known limitations in some countries. Localization is one, but some things go deeper. There are some who will read the description, accept these limitations, and still want to buy it. But they seem to be outnumbered by those who will not read the description, buy it, and then post a nasty comment about how much money they just wasted. Some will try the demo version, as they should, and then trash that. So I would like to turn some countries off. But what will happen to existing users? Does anyone know?

Ok, so I've learned additional, somewhat less than encouraging things. 1.

I have a Visa NfcB card that will connect as IsoDep, but not as NfcB. 3. I have an Amex NfcB card that will connect as IsoDep, but not as NfcB. 4. I have a MasterCard NfcA card that will connect as IsoDep, but not as NfcA.

[android-developers] Re: Help Getting the Context
Umm...why not create the singleton with the ApplicationContext obtained from getApplicationContext()? It will always be valid, no matter what Activity or other class you are interacting with the singelton instance from. Alternatively, pass it to whatever static function you are calling to get the instance of the singleton. That static function will return a new or cached object as well as setting a private field in the singleton with the correct context. If you are worried about keeping around references to your Activities, which is a valid worry, then never pass an Activity context, always pass the Application context.

[android-developers] Re: Inserted Email addresses now are associated with Facebook
I still don't understand why did it get associated with Facebook.
Even
if for some reason I had a wrong ID, it would more than likely get
associated with the wrong person in my contact list, but that was not
the case.
Also, when I go through the whole RawContact table, I don't see any
entry that
is associated with a Facebook account. It seems that Facebook is
keeping their data
separate from the rest of the contact information. Therefore, again
how could the
email addresses get associated with Facebook if Facebook doesn't use
the ContactsContact
tables for its data?
I do notice there are holes in the ID sequences in each
contactscontract table. It
would be a huge coincidence that I used a wrong ID that was associated
with one of these
holes, somehow associated with Facebook (that I cannot see) and was
the right person as well.
Right now, I am very reluctant to continue with my testing on a real
device, without
knowing what happened and how I can avoid it happening again. The
emulator does
not have these multiple account types and does not have the same
querks the
real device has. (e.g. Event dates are stored as readable strings on
the emulator 01/20/2011, whereas
on the real device event dates are stored as a string containing
milliseconds since 1/1/1970).

After running my code the proper contact's info was updated with the

contacts on the cell phone.
But, when I look through ContactsContract.Data it doesn't exit. When
I try to edit this info via the cell phone's edit, it says it's locked
and is associated with Facebook. What gives? Why should this insert
get associated with Facebook. I don't see any facebook data nor any
facebook contacts when I look at RawContact entries.
