[android-developers] Good Book for Developing Android Testing App

2011-03-29 Thread huntsfromshadow
Hello,

I think I have a handle on developing and android application, but
creating the unit test application
seems to be still be a problem for me.

Are their any good books or resources out their (besides the android
sdk website) that specifically discusses
developing the unit test side of the application?

Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Writing a scripts for Android system

 Hello!
 This is my first day using android.
 I have to write scripts for testing the following things:

 · Verifying some folders on the system
 · Verifying file versions on the system
 · Verifying any drivers presents on the system

Hello !

I think you are in the wrong group with this question as you seem to
work for a manufacturer.

Nevertheless : The frist three/four things can be done simply via adb
shell calls from a connected pc or out of the box
scripts. But I think the busybox will be helpful for you (
http://www.appbrain.com/app/busybox/stericson.busybox )

 · Performing sleep/ shut down/ wake up automatically

Maybe you can force a shudown, but I have no idea how to perform a
wake up. Maybe via a switchable usb hub, but you need
some soft controlled power button ? Depends from your hardware.

Good luck ! Frank


 · And more

 Which script language is the best to use?
 Which options I have?

 Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: IPC Mechanism in android

2011-03-29 Thread FrankG
I would suggest that you simply split you java part ..

into Part a) native part + JNI -Java-Part running with system
permissions

and  Part b) normal Java-App

Between b und a use intents. IMHO this is the easiest way. The others
used
by the platform are sockets and aidl ( and system variables ).
To use aidl for a native app will not be easiert, as how far as I know
their
is no aidl compiler for native apps.

Good luck ! Frank

 can't combine both of them. Please give me suggestions on how to
 perform IPC between native code and java apk. I am using android

Re: [android-developers] WifiLock and WakeLock regarding large downloads

2011-03-29 Thread Sebastian Roth
Hold on a second here:

device policy of shutting down wifi and switching to 3g after 15 minutes of
screen off

- that means if I'm at home sleeping (with WiFI enabled), the device will
not use WiFi but 3G over night?

Can you confirm this? Where is this specified?

On Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 10:41 AM, Irfan Sheriff isher...@gmail.com wrote:

 WifiLock keeps the device on Wifi and prevents the device policy of
 shutting down wifi and switching to 3g after 15 minutes of screen off.

 Holding a wifilock should normally be sufficient to complete a download
 since even in the power optimized state (screen off), the device should
 still wake up on packet reception and they should get handled by the device
 - though the packet loss in screen off state tends to be higher and the
 download will be slower.

 If you want to ensure the cpu is awake the whole time, you can hold a
 wakelock as well.

 Thanks


 On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 10:31 AM, Mark Carter mjc1...@googlemail.comwrote:

 From what I gather, WifiLock and WakeLock work completely independently
 and if you are downloading a large file over Wifi then you will need to
 acquire both locks??

 Ideally, you would want something like this:

 1. Acquire partial WakeLock
 2. Preparing to download large file, check whether on Wifi or not.
 3. If on Wifi, then acquire WifiLock. If not, then prevent device
 switching to Wifi (is this possible?)
 4. Start download
 5. When download has finished, release all locks.

 Is this correct?

[android-developers] Sample SoftKeyboard

2011-03-29 Thread perumal316
Hi All,

I am using the sample soft keyboard source code available from the SDK
samples to write my own keyboard.

For my keyboard, instead of alphabets I am having words. E.g Insert.
When user clicks this the word Insert will be inserted into the
respective field.

Under qwerty.xml, I can change the wordings of the keyboard, but how
to insert a word instead of a letter? Currently they are specifying
unicode to insert this.

Any idea how to modify to insert word instead of a alphabet?

Thanks In Advance,
Perumal

[android-developers] WXGA behaving like a normal size screen in emulator

2011-03-29 Thread William Ferguson
What defines whether an AVD running in the emulator is a small/normal/
large/xlarge screen?

hw.lcd.density can be used to set the density, but where is the screen
size defined?

I'm asking because using the WXGA skin for API 11 (hw.lcd.density=160,
ie the default) it is applying resources from the values-normal-port
folder. Ie as if the screen in the AVD was normal size.

The app has

uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=11/
supports-screens android:smallScreens=false
  android:normalScreens=true
  android:largeScreens=true
  android:xlargeScreens=true
  android:anyDensity=true

The normal screen AVDs get the resources from values-normal-port.
The large screen gets the default resources.
But the xlarge (WXGA) screen gets resources from values-normal-port.

Why?
Is WXGA actually a normal screen? Shouldn't it be xlarge?
Where is that defined and how can I change it?

William

Re: [android-developers] Can a local install get updates from the market?

2011-03-29 Thread Marcin Orlowski

 as from our website. I know that this is possible if you turn on
 'Allow 3rd party applications on your phone'.
 What I want to know is: if a user installs the app from our website,
 will he be able to receive updates from the market if we publish an
 update there? (Assuming both are signed with the same key)


If package name is the same too, then yes.

[android-developers] getSharedPreferences for a wallpaper

2011-03-29 Thread Peter Webb
The standard Cube2 Live Wallpaper demo seems to handle Preferences
strangely to me, in that it wires up an event handler which modifies a
global variable. I don't want to to do that (or, more to the point,
when I tried it didn't work for me).

I don't see that I need to wire up any event handlers; can't I just
read the preferences directly where I need them?

It seems to me from the documentation/samples is that the *only* thing
I have to do is add the lines:

String PREF_FILE_NAME = cube2_settings;
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences(PREF_FILE_NAME,
MODE_PRIVATE);
String teststring = preferences.getString(cube2_shape, cube);

anywhere in the animation loop, and teststring should be either a
cube or a dodecahedron depending on the preference. It is always a
cube.

cube2_settings.xml is the standard one:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
PreferenceScreen xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
android:title=@string/cube2_settings
android:key=cube2wallpaper_settings

ListPreference
android:key=cube2_shape
android:title=@string/cube2_settings_title
android:summary=@string/cube2_settings_summary
android:entries=@array/cube2_shapenames
android:entryValues=@array/cube2_shapeprefix /

/PreferenceScreen

If nothing else, the Cube demo doesn't show how to gain access to
preferences from within its animation loop (that I can see), for the
record can anybody tell me what I (and the cube demo) are missing to
allow that?

The Nexus S has external storage, even though it does not have an SD

Re: [android-developers] Emulator not rotating screen?

2011-03-29 Thread Mark Murphy
This is a known problem with the 2.3 emulator.

On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 5:12 PM, chc clepsyd...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi there - posted this in -beginners a few weeks ago but got no
 response, sorry for the double-post:

 When I rotate the emulator screen (ctrl-F12 or ctrl-F11 or numpad
 9/7) the emulator flips the screen but the contents rotate with it,
 and no rotation seems to happen in software... that is, the
 desktop just turns sideways and stays sideways. True of any
 screen, any app, I try rotating several times, try going home, try running
 apps and rotating those, etc, and it never seems to have any useful effect.
 Just flips everything sideways. I've let it sit there
 sideways for a while just in case it was taking a long time to notice the
 orientation change, no dice.

 For the AVM, I'm trying this with the default setup, i.e. autorotate
 screen is still enabled in the options.

 I'm running Kubuntu 10.10, Eclipse 3.6/Helios, SDK/ADK 10 (just
 downloaded/installed SDK/ADK yesterday).

 The target AVM is 2.3.3, WQVGA400, Device ram size 1024, starting from
 and saving to snapshot, and emulator is configured through eclipse to
 add options -cpu-delay 0 -no-boot-anim -cache /my/path/ (although
 nothing seems to show up in /my/path/, but maybe that's normal for
 what little i'm doing so far?)

 Any ideas? This is obviously a problem, since one of the main reasons
 for the emulator is testing various screen configurations, so I wonder if
 I'm doing something wrong?

 Thanks!

Try recycling the unused bitmap. Not sure why do you need to store the all

There could be a memory leak. Analyse the memory usage of your application.

[android-developers] GPS not starting on Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 (Portal)

2011-03-29 Thread lbendlin
Our GPS based application works fine for 99% of the users. However, a 
handful have reported back that on their Galaxy Spica/Portal the GPS never 
gets a fix while being used by our program. More frustratingly, the users 
report that the stock Google Maps application gets the GPS to work just 
fine.
 
We are using the standard way of initialising the GPS, like so
 
 
 this.lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
 if (this.lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
  this.lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 1, this);
 }

 
Does anyone know what else the Spica needs to get the GPS going?

So if the list1 had, mens height, and list2 had mens age, i want the outcome

yet,
so mens weight + mens age = total amount of sit ups to do per day
again, just an example for that weight+age stuff

and I already have a grid chart with all of my numbers for the A+B=C stuff,

Ideally, you do not do this. Do not waste screen space and confuse the
user, since there already is a BACK button on any compliant Android
device.

That being said, you can call finish() to close the current activity
and return control to the previous activity. One legitimate use of
this is with startActivityForResult() -- the activity that is started
this way might call finish() after setResult() to immediately return
control to the previous activity.

[android-developers] Re: help point in right direction for 3 menus = final result

2011-03-29 Thread sparks
Still not quite sure what to use, as the area for the result.

Could I just have it change the text of a button? and with the button click, 
do nothing,
or just use a text view?

and im still challenging how to display the result after 2 are chosen

again just to be clear, so i help explain myself with a visual,

Like spinner1 would have the 1-9 options, spinner2 would have the A-Z 
options
if I was to choose 4 from the spinner 1 list, and C from the spinner2 list,
the label would be 37,

im trying to find examples of how to store the data, to make it that simple

Re: [android-developers] Re: Content Provider for Private Database?

2011-03-29 Thread Scott McCormack
Based on this discussion, I've decided to use a content provider for access to 
an internal private database for my app. It simply makes the data access 
simpler for me, and there's a really nice go-by in the NotePad sample. However, 
I'm worried about your comment about the leaked database connection. I'm still

[android-developers] Re: help point in right direction for 3 menus = final result

2011-03-29 Thread lbendlin
both spinners are fed by arrayadapters (the values can be stored in XML) 
then you register an onChange for each spinner, and point both to the same 
recompute function. The recompute function fetches the current values from 
both spinners, does its computation and then updates the text label item3.

something like that.

That helped a bit, to make more sense out of examples of things similar to 
what i want,
my problem is that the X and Y data isnt to be added or anything, I just 
need a way to define what data would be held at item C4 if C was chosen 
from spinner1 and 4 was in spinner 2

thanks again, get me to a donate link!

Re: [android-developers] Re: Content Provider for Private Database?

2011-03-29 Thread Kostya Vasilyev

There is no leaked database connection with Content Providers.

What happens is, the database is kept open as long as the application 
process is alive, and is open just once, too.


When/if the process is killed, the OS kernel closes the file.

As far as that extra file being kept open - many (most?) OSs keep 
executable files open while their code is executing. One more shouldn't 
ruin anything. On the other hand, not having to reopen the database 
makes for better performance.

Yes, there is, at least by my definition (close() not being called).

 What happens is, the database is kept open as long as the application
 process is alive, and is open just once, too.

 When/if the process is killed, the OS kernel closes the file.

That presumes that there is no SQLite logic in a database close() that
is important. One hopes that is the case, given the way content
providers are implemented.

No, sorry. A home screen implementation might somehow offer that

What exactly do you want to achieve or know about android.R ?

It is a class created ahead of compiling of the source code by aapt. R
contains static IDs to your resources that allow you to access the
actual content of those resources. Resources themselves (images,
sounds, variables,...) are being compiled into 1 big binary file and
R.class consists of effectively pointers to those.

It is the same with android.R.class, but obviously since those
resources are openly distributed with the platform, there is much more
effort made to get things right in the first place and keep it
unchanged for as long as possible. Just like with any other public
API.

Have a look here for more info:

[android-developers] Android Password Expiration Feature in 3.0

2011-03-29 Thread D G
Hi 

I was trying to use Android Password expiration feature using DeviceAdmin. 
When I call setPasswordExpirationTimeout()  API , it only sends a 
notification and doesnt actually force the user to change the password. It 
only sends a notification after timeout :

V/DevicePolicyManagerService(  662): Sending password expiration 
notifications for action 
com.android.server.ACTION_EXPIRED_PASSWORD_NOTIFICATION

You have to get the callback in DeviceAdminReceiver in onPasswordExpired() 
to force user to change password.

Any specific reason its been implemented this way ( or is it just to give 
flexibility to the programmer ) ?

[android-developers] How to approach designing a clound sync adapter?

2011-03-29 Thread Moto
I'm trying to sync my users database data to a remote service such as Amazon 
services.  I want it to behave similarly to gmail IMAP servers.

I'm not sure how I go about creating a sync adapter that keeps track of user 
modified data and modifications made from other devices sync to the same 
account.

All this time I'm thinking there has to be an easy way.  I just don't want 
to re-invent the wheel if something already exists...  :(

Thanks for any tips you might have!

many times in other languages using trig, but I am not familiar

[android-developers] on orientation change, keep all objects, just change content view

2011-03-29 Thread Wall-E
I want to set the content view of my activity to a different resource
when user changes from portrait to landscape and vice versa.  I want
to try to avoid having the app call onCreate every time the user
changes orientation so I read that what I'm left with is using
onConfigurationChanged(...).  I can set the new content view but
unfortunately I have to re-initialize all my views.  Is there any way
to do this?

Also, currently I have the - android:configChanges=orientation set
for my activity and am wondering what are the states and methods it
goes through when changing the orientation because I would like this
same behavior except I just want the content view to change.

If the only way/easiest way to accomplish this is for the app to re-
create the activity, how would I go about setting the content view
based on what the orientation is?  Would I do a check in the onCreate
method to see what the orientation is and then set the content view?

[android-developers] libgdx drag and drop sprite

2011-03-29 Thread Raghav Sood
Hi everyone,

I am making a game in which there are a few non animated sprites on the
screen. The sprites are drawn with the xml file. I am using libgdx as the
game engine. I cannot seem to find any tutorial on dragging and dropping
these sprites. Does any one know if there is a pre made function to
implement this. Also is drawing the sprite through code going to be better?

  When/if the process is killed, the OS kernel closes the file.

That presumes that there is no SQLite logic in a database close() that

[android-developers] dialogs in android and orientation change...

2011-03-29 Thread sdphil
okay, this is officially driving me crazy.

I have an Activity and in onCreate() if some condition is true, I want
to pop up a dialog and inform the user.

public void onCreate() {


if (condition is true)
showDialog(42);

}

And I put in the appropriate code in onCreateDialog and
onPrepareDialog - no problem, everything is working fine.

The issue is if I change screen orientation, it destroys the activity
and re-creates it.  Fine.  But in doing that, it goes into onCreate
and calls showDialog(42) again, which causes onCreateDialog and
onPrepareDialog to be called again.  Then it seems like the underlying
system is trying to remember that I had a dialog up when i did the
screen orientation so it calls onCreateDialog and onPrepareDialog a
second time!  I can save an instance of the dialog id in
onSaveInstanceState() and restore it in onRestoreInstanceState(), but
it seems like onRestoreInstanceState() doesn't get called until
*after* onCreate is called, which means, it's going to make that call
to showDialog(42) again.  What's the best place to show dialogs after
an activity has come up such that screen orientation changes won't
cause multiple onCreateDialogs/onPrepareDialog calls to be made?

[android-developers] Re: ? Best way of storing text

2011-03-29 Thread Bob Kerns
A lot depends on how you would access it.

For example, you could store it as text files, compressed into a .zip file, 
along with a SQLite database with the metadata (including section boundaries 
within the files). For large amounts of text, this would be much more 
compact than storing the text in the SQLite database directly.

If you need to do extensive text searching, you may also want to store a 
full-text index, perhaps using Apache Lucene. This will add about 20-30% (of 
the uncompressed text size) to your total size, but greatly speed 
searching.

 2. Create one Question activity, put ViewFlipper into this activity

You could load it through xml easily enough:

ImageView
android:id=@+id/image
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:src=@drawable/image1
android:layout_x=90px
android:layout_y=122px

/ImageView

Just set your content view to the default xml file

[android-developers] Re: on orientation change, keep all objects, just change content view

2011-03-29 Thread Wall-E
Ok so I read that site you linked to and although it gave me some
hints, it still didn't solve my problem.

So I already have my resource file in the layout-land folder.  I guess
the clarification I need is, how does the activity know to use that
resource file?  Do I name it the same thing and in my main layout
folder?  Also when creating my resource layout, I know I have the
option in the pull down to select portrait or landscape.  What I did
was create a layout resource with the same name as in the main layout
and made my changes and now when I go to the main layout and select
the orientation to be landscape it changes to the correct resource,
great! But... now when I run it on my device and change orientation I
don't see the same changes.  Any other hints?

Yes. If you have the default version in res/layout/main.xml, a
landscape version to override the default would go in
res/layout-land/main.xml.

 But... now when I run it on my device and change orientation I
 don't see the same changes.

Of course not. You specifically told Android not to perform any
changes, by using android:configChanges. If you want Android to
automatically apply the changes, by destroying and recreating your
activity, get rid of android:configChanges. Otherwise, you have to
make whatever changes you want in Java code.

Which is why you should not write your activities the way you did.
android:configChanges is to be used in fairly limited cases, and
there's nothing in either of your posts that suggests that your
activity fits one of those cases (e.g., uses a WebView, uses a
Camera).

 Any other hints?

Use onSaveInstanceState() and onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() to
pass data to the new activity from the old one, after you get rid of
android:configChanges.

Re: [android-developers] Just display an image.

2011-03-29 Thread Tobiah

I finally found it.  This is all I was looking for:

ImageView green = new ImageView(this);
green.setImageResource(R.drawable.green);

Thanks,

Tobiah

You could load it through xml easily enough:

ImageView
android:id=@+id/image
android:layout_width=wrap_content
android:layout_height=wrap_content
android:src=@drawable/image1
android:layout_x=90px
android:layout_y=122px
 
/ImageView

Just set your content view to the default xml file

[android-developers] Re: How should I design questionnaire on android?

2011-03-29 Thread Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)
Why would you need an app to implement this? A simple web page would
work just as well, be easier to maintain and also work on virtually
any device, including iPhone, Android, tablets and those devices where
the market wasn't installed. If you wanted to limit the questionnaire
to just Android devices, you could check the agent.

I guess a better question would be: Why try and kill a gnat with a
sledgehammer?

[android-developers] Re: on orientation change, keep all objects, just change content view

2011-03-29 Thread Wall-E
Thanks Mark, after I made the fixed I noticed that when I changed
orientation the objects were not the same so I'll give
onSaveInstanceState() and onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() a shot.

 Yes. If you have the default version in res/layout/main.xml, a
 landscape version to override the default would go in
 res/layout-land/main.xml.

  But... now when I run it on my device and change orientation I
  don't see the same changes.

 Of course not. You specifically told Android not to perform any
 changes, by using android:configChanges. If you want Android to
 automatically apply the changes, by destroying and recreating your
 activity, get rid of android:configChanges. Otherwise, you have to
 make whatever changes you want in Java code.

 Which is why you should not write your activities the way you did.
 android:configChanges is to be used in fairly limited cases, and
 there's nothing in either of your posts that suggests that your
 activity fits one of those cases (e.g., uses a WebView, uses a
 Camera).

  Any other hints?

 Use onSaveInstanceState() and onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() to
 pass data to the new activity from the old one, after you get rid of
 android:configChanges.

Re: [android-developers] Jar with resources like android.jar

2011-03-29 Thread Xavier Ducrohet
You can't (right now).

android.jar is special because these are the framework resources that
exist on the device. Android.jar is not bundled with your project's
code and resources, and the resources in android.jar are not part of
your application's R class.

A Jar with resources that is meant to be added to an existing project
needs to be able to merge its resources with the project's own
resources. This impacts the resources ID generated in the project's R
class in a way that makes the R.*.* ID used to compile the jar
obsolete. Since those constants are inlined, any code in the jar file
that reference the resources will be broken as the IDs are different
in the final APK.
This is why the library projects in the SDK are source only.

I'm working on a solution that may fix this but no ETA at the moment.

  Thank you for the reply, Mark.
  Any hint where to study how android.R class works?
  I suppose that it's generated when we compile the entire Android system,
  in
  a similar way of the standard R class, but it takes a photo of system
  resources.

 Since the values must not change from release to release of Android, I
 suspect the process is more involved than that. However, I have no
 idea where you should look for details, or even if there are any
 details beyond the source code.

Re: [android-developers] IPC Mechanism in android

2011-03-29 Thread Bob Kerns
That works if you start the native program from the Java program. It doesn't 
work if it needs to run independently.

I like Frank's approach. Generally, minimizing the amount of C++ code in an 
application will make things better. In fact, I would argue you never want 
to make a native C++ application, but rather write what you must in C++, 
expose it in small pieces via JNI, and package it as a Java application. In 
some cases, the C++ part might be the major piece, but you'll be better off 
with that thin bit of Java around your C++. Even if you don't see a need 
today, at some point in the future, there may some bit of functionality 
easily provided via Java, that you'll be happy to make use of.

  Hi All,
  
  I have an NDK application(written in C++) packaged as an executable
  and deployed in android. I also have a Java apk file in the
  application layer. Now my NDK app does some processing and outputs a
  string of data in the format name = value. Basically the output from
  NDK looks like this:
  name1 = value1
  name2 = value2... Now i want each of these name value pairs to be
  passed to java application one by one. Currently i am writing the
  output from NDK to a file in sdcard and the java app reads from the
  file. But i want to use an IPC mechanism which is devoid of explicit
  file writing and reading and instead use something like sending and
  listening to a socket. I am not sure what is the best way of passing
  message between native code and java. Also i am not using JNI
  interface as i have some issue with root permissions as the C++ Native
  code runs as root userid and Java apk runs in application level and i
  can't combine both of them. Please give me suggestions on how to
  perform IPC between native code and java apk. I am using android
  developer phone 1 as the device.
  
  Thanks,
