I should have said but i forgot. No problem :-)

I make my application as HOME default app and i can control the keys
and the notification bar but i cant hide the system dialogs and i dont
want my users to go out my app and make something they don't want or
they don't know... and in Battery-low dialog there are two
buttons...one is acceptable because only close the dialog, but the
other (at least en Android 2.1) lets the user go to BatteryStatus
window and that is not desireable.

I would try with the firmware but i think it would be too much for
me ;-)

[android-developers] Re: Restart Service after it has been killed by the system

Hi TreKing,
for short time I mean at least 30min, not more.

Using START_STICKY my service doesn't restart anymore. It has happened
to start again only once, but after 6 hours more or less... I'd like
to understand if this is the normal behaviour or there is something
wrong.

Re: [android-developers] Re: 2d game development

2011-03-21 Thread a a

2011/3/2 Riyad rka...@gmail.com:
 In addition to TreKing's reply, you will want to decide if you are
 going to hand draw this stuff or use OpenGL, I'm going to assume you
 will be using OpenGL if you want lots of layers and spirtes moving
 performantly across each other and possibly add some effects.

 So the next part of your question is how do I get started with
 OpenGL -- I'd suggest searching around for it, and you will probably
 want to start with a good game engine that'll make your life easier;
 some framework that makes loading images, animating them, etc. etc.
 easier.

 For that, I'd look at libgdx as a jumping off point.
 http://code.google.com/p/libgdx/

My god, this code is too large, as a new member game developer, it is
very hard to understand.

 The forums for the engine are fantastic:
 http://www.badlogicgames.com/forum/

 and the wiki is chalk full of information:
 http://www.badlogicgames.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page


 If you have done Java 2D in depth before, a lot of that knowledge gets
 you off the ground pretty quick (as far as being familiar with how
 graphic basics work, painting, etc.) if you have done very little Java
 and no Java 2D, you'll want to grab a good OpenGL ES book and start
 from scratch. Just get familiar with things.

 and after you get through the first few tutorials, write the next
 Gears of War for Android, shoot for the moon!

It makes sense that getting a list of keys requires the keystore 
password, not passwords for individual keys.


However, this only highlights the fact that the OP was getting a version 
of keytool that did not come from the Sun / Oracle JDK.


Android docs say this:

http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html#setup

If you are developing on a version of Linux that originally came with 
GNU Compiler for Java, make sure that the system is using the JDK 
version of Keytool, rather than the gcj version. If Keytool is already 
in your PATH, it might be pointing to a symlink at /usr/bin/keytool. 
In this case, check the symlink target to be sure it points to the 
Keytool in the JDK.


I don't know what's different about the keytool in GCJ to warrant this 
warning, but - there it is.

[android-developers] Re: How to use the static fragment library in legacy apps?

2011-03-21 Thread AMGG


I don't understand why Google doesn't provide a good and easy-to-use
example... kind of PlugPlay.

I have tried the API Demos example that Google provides and it just
gives a bunch of compilation errors.

At the end I have had to waste my time creating a new project to make
it work. Just adding the Fragment*Support java files didn't work,
because some of them make use of other files like
CheckableFrameLayout.java or SendResult.java.

I think it's not a good experience for developers who try to learn
some new features if they need to fix the example first.

Please, take this as a constructive note. :)


Btw, for anyone with the same problems, I have get it working on
phones running Android 2.2, if anyone is interested:

 Um, no.  I've already written a lot of samples.  I'd suggest as a first step
 copying the code from one of the 10 or so samples in ApiDemos and making

 Just for the sake of argument, what do you think is the worst thing that a
 malicious app can do if one of its classes is loaded into another app that

 methods on a loaded class and happen to pass it a reference to something
 sensitive.  But just loading a class?

First, just loading a class would invoke all static initializers;
otherwise, it would be loaded.

Second, nobody would be just loading a class in all likelihood. For
example, the OP wants to load in a custom View from another app, and
that will involve a wee bit more than just loading a class, such as
invoking constructors and methods.

In either case, the third-party code can get control and do whatever
it wants within that process (read a database, delete files, perform
actions using permissions, etc.).

Write your own firmware.

Or, turn your application into a home screen replacement and convince

Otherwise, you cannot control home button.

  If you are developing on a version of Linux that originally came with GNU
 Compiler for Java, make sure that the system is using the JDK version of
 Keytool, rather than the gcj version. If Keytool is already in your PATH, it
 might be pointing to a symlink at /usr/bin/keytool. In this case, check the
 symlink target to be sure it points to the Keytool in the JDK.


DAMN!.. how could i not previously. i was
SOO looking for a pointer like this all over the android
developer guide.. a pointer which would tell me how to ensure my
signing tools are properly setup.

Use try/catch syntax around the call that causes this problem. read log

real culprit lurks.

Re: [android-developers] using the keytool for getting google-maps-API-key returns unrecognized option error


There is also the ever-useful which command, as in:

 which keytool

will tell you which keytool (!) is getting executed when you type keytool.

I don't remember if which follows links, so just in case, the 
following should show link target, if the keytool on the path is 
actually a link:


 ls -l `which keytool`

(those are back-ticks, located on the upper-left key on most keyboards)

Any answers you get from 1 or 2 developers is not going to speak to any
general trend. You'd need to look at the Market as a whole.
Anyway, this is one of those personal questions most people are not likely
to respond to, so you're probably not going to get much of a response.

[android-developers] Out of Memory Exception when exporting vcards

2011-03-21 Thread Ajith Kamath

Hi

I am facing a problem when I need to export vcards overs bluetooth.
Problem is vcards are large in number. Plus If the vcards have images in
them then size is really high.

So when i try sending this I get OutOfMemory Exception , its Coming from
VcardComposer.java. - At onEntryCreated()

Can I make more memory allocation on the go? Is this possible.
Dalvik basically cannot allocate memory to these data.

Please advice.

Thanks  Regards,
Ajith

[android-developers] GPS does not stop after ending my app

Hi,
I have an app that uses MapView to display data. It uses locationManager to
determine the position of the user and if use of GPS is allowed by the user,
GPS is used.
The problem is that the app does not stop using the GPS (and draining
battery).
I start it using:

locationManager = (LocationManager)
getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
1000 * 60, 20,
new GeoUpdateHandler());


I tried this in onPause() and/or onDestroy(), but it does not help, though
the methods are

@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
log(pause);
}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
1000 * 60, 20,
this);
log(onstart);
}


Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stephan

[android-developers] Verbose Logging Not Being Suppressed


My understanding from reading the documentation is that messages logged
at the verbose level are automatically stripped from production
applications.  I installed my own application via the marketplace (to
ensure that what I was running on my phone was identical to what my
user's would be running) and, to my horror, found that I am spamming the
syslog with my verbose messages.  Is there something manual that I was
supposed to have done to get this automatic behavior?

[android-developers] Idea Conceptualization

2011-03-21 Thread cuil yahoo

Hey,

I am planning to make an android based application which logs either the
entire history or some part of the history of the last ip addresses used to
access Google accounts.

I did try searching on the internet but that did not result into anything
fruitful.

Is this possible ? A few links or Read up API's would be appreciated. :)

Thanks.

You're passing in new GeoUpateHandler, for which you do not maintain a
reference to later remove. Passing in this (whatever this is) has no
effect, for this is not referencing the new GeoUpdateHandler.

[android-developers] Re: GPS does not stop after ending my app

Hi TreKing,
thanks for your answer. I removed the new GeoUpdateHandler, but that
does not help.

My Activity extends LocationListener:
public class ShowMap extends MapActivity implements LocationListener

so if I provide this on both methods it should work, should it not?


@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();

locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
1000 * 60, 20,
this);
log(onstart);
}


@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
log(pause);
}

[android-developers] Working with Multiple Widget Instances/Layout


I have reviewed the developer documentation on App Widgets and I found
that some of my fundamental questions are not really being addressed.
I'd like to raise some of them here to see if anyone here can send me an
RTFM link or a direct answer.

Given the following: 

I have an application that provides 2x1 widget that can calculate the
time remaining until sunrise.  I'd like to provide an option to
configure the widget to display the time until sunrise or the time until
sunset.  I'd like the user to be able to install two instances of the
widget, each configured for one of those options.  I'd like to provide a
1x1 widget in addition to the 2x1 widget so that the user can choose
which one to use.

Here are my questions:

1) How does one provide multiple options for widget sizes?  Do you just
   add additional meta-data sections under the Receiver entry of the
   manifest? 

2) How does one set options that are unique to a given instance?  The app
   currently uses SharedPreferences for all of its configuration.  But
   if both instances are running in the same context, how can each
   widget know how it is configured as distinct from another instance?

3) The app uses a service that is started by an alarm in order to do the
   updating.  When the alarm is triggered, the service calculates the
   time remaining until the event and then it updates the remote view.
   Do both widgets share the same service?  I'd that is the case since
   it all one app with just multiple widget instances.  If that's the
   case, how can the service know which widget it is updating?

Thanks for any help!

Essentially by providing entirely separate widgets, each having its own 
size. They can share implementation (Java code, drawables, layouts), but 
they should be declared as separate widgets as seen by Android.



2) How does one set options that are unique to a given instance?  The app
currently uses SharedPreferences for all of its configuration.  But
if both instances are running in the same context, how can each

Widget ids are persistent until a widget is removed. Store values in 
shared preferences (or some other persistence mechanism) keyed by widget id.



3) The app uses a service that is started by an alarm in order to do the

time remaining until the event and then it updates the remote view.

Use

AppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(int widgetId, RemoteViews views)

to update only one particular widget.

You can get the ids when needed outside onUpdate like this:

AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
ComponentName widgetClassName = new ComponentName(context, your 
WidgetProviderClass);

int[] widgetIds = manager.getAppWidgetIds(widgetClassName);

Be aware that in some cases, there may be widget ids that refer to 
non-existent widgets.


I documented my workaround for this issue here:

[android-developers] Custom map overlays

Hi all.

I'm fairly familiar with ItemizedOverlay and OverlayItem classes,
where you pass a drawable to the Overlay which gets added to the
MapOverlays and displayed on the map.

However I want to create a view, using an XML layout, and add this to
the map in the same way as an overlay. So instead of displaying a
simple image, I want to add a view which has more useful info to show
- but is still in a fixed position on the map and moves with it
accordingly.

Any pointers appreciated... thanks.

[android-developers] Re: 2d game development

2011-03-21 Thread Riyad Kalla

Any game engine you look at will have a considerable code base... that
is like asking I would like to do a GUI and someone suggesting Swing
or SWT to you and you saying My god the API is huge!

Yes... they are... they cover a lot. Everything from 3D/2D
abstractions to file I/O.

libgdx has a good number of games in the market place, you can check
the Showcase forum for examples of Apps people are working on.

AndEngine is another one and if you don't mind paying a licensing fee,
Unity I believe has a preview Android version, but it's not cheap.

Alternatively, you can just hand-roll something yourself ontop of
Canvas and learn all the ins and outs first THEN find the game engine
that solves your biggest headaches for you, that way you don't waste
your time learning an engine that isn't making your life easier.

If you are just learning, I always think learning the bare bones
approach to things first before learning a framework is best so you
understand who-does-what.

Just my 2 cents.

  If you have done Java 2D in depth before, a lot of that knowledge gets
  you off the ground pretty quick (as far as being familiar with how

I would double check your code and make sure you're not adding an extra
listener somewhere. Also wait a few seconds for the GPS icon to go away
before assuming it's not working. Debug your code and make sure all your
points are being hit as expected. Inspect the values for anything strange.

 Android gives priority to the default Home application, to prevent it

 Without this protection there is a good chance the actual launcher

 which could make the app drawer load slower.

 In practice, I've found that this method worked okay on 2.1 for
 whatever reason. But with Android 2.2+ it doesn't. I imagine you'll be
 able to reproduce the problem if you use a 2.2 device, set AppSwipe!
 as the default Home, reboot (rearranges things in memory a bit), then
 start using lots of memory-heavy apps like the browser, angry birds,
 etc, then when you press the Home button after some time away look for
 widgets redrawing.

 I believe 2.3 neuters System Persistent as well.

 Good luck!

  I have an task switching app on the Android Market called AppSwipe!
  and one of the most commonly requested features is the ability to
  launch my app by long-pressing the home button.  Since this is not
  possible, I created a way to launch AppSwipe! by double-pressing the
  home key.
 
  This feature has been out for over a year and my users love it.
  However, I recently received an email from one user who was reporting
  some strange behavior when using this functionality... essentially,
  the home app is getting killed and taking a long time to restart.
  When this occurs there are some other UI issues as well (such as
  folders launching with transparent backgrounds and such).  It only
  happens on very specific devices and I can't reproduce the problem.
 
  Here is the general process that I am using to implement the double-
  press of the home button:
 
  1) I created an activity that declares itself as a home replacement
  app (see XML below)
 
  2) I have a user-modifiable setting that allows the user to specify
  which home app to launch from the home button.
 
  3) When the home button is pressed, my home replacement activity has
  the following logic:
 
  a) The first time the home button is pressed a timer is
  created and started in onResume()
 
  b) If the timer finishes, then the user-specified home app is
  launched
 
  c) If home is pressed again and the timer is still running,
  then I cancel the timer and launch my app
 
  Here is the XML that declares my home replacement app:
 
  activity
  android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar
  android:name=.HomeLauncherActivity
  android:label=@string/app_home_launcher_label
  android:launchMode=singleInstance
  android:stateNotNeeded=true
 
  intent-filter
  action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
  category android:name=android.intent.category.HOME/
  category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT
 /
  /intent-filter
  /activity
 
  Here is the onResume() method that runs the timer:
 
  @Override
  public void onResume()
  {
  super.onResume();
 
  if (m_prefMgr == null)
  m_prefMgr =
 PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
 
  if (m_pkgMgr == null)
  m_pkgMgr = getPackageManager();
 
  //First Home Button Press
  if (m_timer == null)
  {
  int launchThreshold =
 
 m_prefMgr.getInt(getString(R.string.pref_button_launch_home_click_threshold
 _key),
 
 PrefSettings.DEFAULT_DOUBLE_PRESS_HOME_THRESHOLD);
 
  m_timer = new AppSwipeHomeLaunchTimer(launchThreshold,
  launchThreshold);
  m_timer.start();
  }
  else //Second Home Button Press
  {
  m_timer.cancel();

[android-developers] Re: Android Application Sold to 100,000 Users

2011-03-21 Thread nemik

I think the general trend is that you won't make much money; though
you never know until you try. Remember that all those huge successes
you read about are outliers. The majority of apps just sorta get by or
flop. Just throw your best hat into the ring and see what happens.
What other kind of answer are you looking for?

[android-developers] Re: Custom map overlays

Ok, same thread, another Map question.

I've been using 'MyLocationOverlay' to display current location. It
shows that nice blue pulsating image to mark the spot.

Am I able to add a pointer (arrow image) which indicates current
direction, as I would see on the standard GoogleMap?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Using ListPreference view in a non preference activity/dialog

2011-03-21 Thread Wall-E

I would like to use certain views associated with the
PreferenceActivty such as the ListPreference in my Activity or Dialog
but I don't want my activity to be a PreferenceActivty.  Is there a
way to access that view or is there a way to create that view and how
to implement this?  Pretty much what I'm looking for is a two line
text that when clicked/tapped it will open up a list of options like a
spinner.  So similar to a ListPreference.

[android-developers] Problems using Javascript console.log

2011-03-21 Thread Jonathan Arnold

I have a very simple test web page:

http://www.amazingdev.com/js.html

Which is just a few lines long. It's mostly to test the console.log
function. 

I'm finding it works just fine in my 2.2 emulator, but not when I debug
via a real device (in this case, an EVO running 2.2). I see the log
message show up when Eclipse is connected to the emulator, but it
doesn't show up when it is connected to my EVO. 

Is this some kind of bug? Misunderstanding? Or extra security when run
via the handset?

[android-developers] Re: Using ListPreference view in a non preference activity/dialog

2011-03-21 Thread Wall-E

Well I first initially had dialog and created a layout to use in that
dialog to set certain preferences/values.  So I tried to
inflate(setContentView(dialogLayout)) that same layout in a
PreferenceActivity I created but then was getting this error:

03-21 16:12:24.395: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1472): Caused by:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a ListView whose id
attribute is 'android.R.id.list'

So assuming that I should be able to what I described above, my
question should be how to inflate the PreferenceActivity using my
layout created for the dialog but also sneaking in Preference views
such as ListPreference in that same layout.

I'm just now thinking I should create a Preference Screen layout and
include all the views I had in my dialog layout.

Any other suggestions?

Start with your own views, then a list view that would be used for 
preference views.

You can integrate your own views by using Preference, with or without 
subclassing, by using android:layout attribute in XML or 
setLayoutResource in code.

Your code probably uses Android classes or methods that didn't yet exist

Bring up Properties on your project, select Android in the list on the

Then go through compile errors, and remove or change all code that

Hey guys,

I see in a lot of games this Button wich you can Mute the app sounds.

I want to put this in my app, but I don't have any clue how to do
that.

1 - It would be the same button to mute and unmute the sounds. Like in
NinJump Game.

2 - It would change the button image. Like Off' when you click it
and Off when you click it again.

Thanks!

Right, once you've done this, and your code runs on API4, you can switch 
your build target back to API8 for those features that require it 
(install to memory card, for example).


There are techniques that let you use API8 classes / methods while 
falling back on earlier APIs where available (look it up with Google 
search, typically it involves Java reflection).


But as a quick first pass, switching the build target to your desired 
lowest API level is a pretty good way to find places to fix.

[android-developers] mediaplayer surface initialized to a frame

2011-03-21 Thread droid-stricken

Hi All,

I am creating a surface holder for displaying my video and creating
the mediaplayer instance as well. My question is - How to display the
first frame on the surfaceView and then provide a button for the user
to click that starts the actual playback of the video?

Currently, my screen is totally black before the user presses the
button that calls mediaplayerinstance.start(). I would rather have a
frame there instead of nothing.

Is this possible to achieve? seekTo to the first 1 sec of the video
content does not help. I don't see the frame at the 1st sec until
start() is invoked.

TIA.

And you'll want to lose the pulsating/fix circle. It's eye candy for sure 
but it impacts performance heavily without really giving much back. You can 
replace it with a view placeholder that contains an arrow image that you can 
rotate according to your direction.

Re: [android-developers] Cloud Computing

2011-03-21 Thread Justin Giles

To my knowledge (I've not scoured every inch of the Android API), there is
no built-in cloud computing in Android.  What you are going to want to
investigate are various services offered by Google and Amazon, such as the
Google AppEngine (and other services) and Amazon's EC2.  Here are the links
respectively: http://code.google.com/appengine/ and
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/

I think Amazon might offer an Android SDK to facilitate some calls to their
stuff, but I don't think Google does this at this time.  What is going on
behind the scenes are basically http calls (or RESTful calls) back and forth
from the Android app to the cloud service.  You would need to just build a
shell of an app that does all the communicating that way.

  10-08 14:11:22.657 I/RTSPEngine( 5031): RTSP/1.0 200 OK

 Phone number 2 (Samsung Galaxy Tab) does not.

 Question: How do I enable theRTSPEnginelogcat for phone number 2?

 I am willing to do anything to get it, including learning about
 root, ROM, custom ROM generation, compiling android OS source,
 etc.

 Thank you,

 Chris

1) How does one provide multiple options for widget sizes?  Do you just
add additional meta-data sections under the Receiver entry of the

   KV Essentially by providing entirely separate widgets, each having
   KV its own size. They can share implementation (Java code,
   KV drawables, layouts), but they should be declared as separate
   KV widgets as seen by Android.

How does one declare them as separate widgets as seen by Android?
Again, we are talking about a single project (apk) with one manifest,
correct?  So how do you modify the manifest to indicate that is more
than one widget?

2) How does one set options that are unique to a given instance?  The app
currently uses SharedPreferences for all of its configuration.
But if both instances are running in the same context, how can
each widget know how it is configured as distinct from another
instance?

   KV Widget ids are persistent until a widget is removed. Store values
   KV in shared preferences (or some other persistence mechanism) keyed
   KV by widget id.

H.  Using that standard SharedPreferences, I did not see that it
could be keyed.  Did I miss that?  Each piece of configuration data is,
of course, keyed by the name of that piece of data.  But how would I
distinguish between the configuration data of two different widgets if
they are all stored in the same SharedPreferences?

3) The app uses a service that is started by an alarm in order to do the
updating.  When the alarm is triggered, the service calculates the
time remaining until the event and then it updates the remote
view.  Do both widgets share the same service?  I'd that is the
case since it all one app with just multiple widget instances.  If
that's the case, how can the service know which widget it is
updating?

   KV Use

   KV AppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(int widgetId, RemoteViews views)

   KV to update only one particular widget.

   KV You can get the ids when needed outside onUpdate like this:

   KV AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
   KV ComponentName widgetClassName = new ComponentName(context, your
   WidgetProviderClass );
   KV int[] widgetIds = manager.getAppWidgetIds(widgetClassName);

   KV Be aware that in some cases, there may be widget ids that refer to
   KV non-existent widgets.

   KV I documented my workaround for this issue here:

   KV 
http://kmansoft.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/per-widget-options-stale-widgets/

And then the service would have to ask that instance which type of
data (sunrise or sunset) it should be updating.  But how to ask that
question?
