[android-developers] OBEX OPP Specific transfer
Hello, I am developing an OBEX OPP client application in android phone.Through the client application i will send an object to the non Android device (which will act as the OPP server).I have created the RFCOMM socket connection using the API createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(OPP_UUID); I have use the UUID of the OBEX Push i.e. private static final UUID OPP_UUID = UUID .fromString(1105--1000-8000-00805F9B34FB); I have observed that through this the socket connection is successful and I got the input and output stream of the socket to send and recieve the data.But when I send the data the data recieved the other device is not in the right format. What I mean by this is in the reciever device the data is recieved with the error. BT Air sniffer indicates that the in the retrieved_opcode Data is not present.OBEX response code is Bad request. Can anyone guide me what is wrong in this ? or the steps to make an OBEX OPP connection with the device which is not paired. Your valuable inputs will help me to overcome this.

Um, I've been running various kinds of Linux on my company provided MacBookPros for 5+ years without problems. Theoretically, I guess I'm dual booting (as I kept a small OSX partition just in case), but in reality I don't boot that partition. Remember: pretty much anything that boots x86 Windows will also work with Linux. These days it isn't even particularly tricky to install - in fact, I consider the way the multi-touch pad works in Linux better than how it is used in OSX (YMMV). The MBP hardware is pretty good in my experience, the only iffy part is the BCM wifi. If you want to run any kind of Linux on a MacBook, then you'll need to get a product such as VMWare or Parallels to run some Linux in a VM hosted within OS X. Nope. You certainly can if you like, though. I've been doing all my Android dev on OS X for two years and haven't needed Linux for anything, even NDK work. And I have never had to find and and install device drivers like my peers using Windows. One major exception is with Samsung Galaxy S products -- if you want to install a new firmware on those devices, you need Windows to run Samsung's crappy Kies software. Oh, I have a vbox with Windows on my MacBookPro (currently running Ubuntu 11.04) for the odd Windows-only stuff I need to do. Upgraded my Milestone that way for instance. So of the three OSes, OSX is actually used the least. Don't get me wrong, these days I could get used to OSX if I had to (I selected Linux when OSX still didn't exist), but for various reasons I still prefer Linux (comparing uptime with my colleagues - identical hardware - I have better uptimes) and Linux is also the target platform of my day job.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Moving from free app to a paid model
I already have an export to SD, import to whatever version design so even if I had to force them to install a new app it'd be easy. I'm mostly worried about what the conversion rate might be. My app is based on long-term data storage and analysis, so old users who simply can't upgrade (eg, due to market limitations etc.) might be put off. Most of my traction came from overseas. Fragmentation is an issue (I really want to drop support for Android 1.x) and I'm guessing I'm going to be supporting a final free version forever. I'm thinking in-app billing for upgrades to a pro version might be the best way at this point... any advice on handling this?

You can make it clear to your users that you will support certain versions of Android for a certain amount of time. That should at least soften the blow. You could also give manual refunds to people who would be left in the lurch. Just have them give you both google order IDs for their old and new purchase.

[android-developers] App Widget considerations when enabling installLocation in manifest
I have an app which includes a app widget but only as a relatively minor portion of the total functionality. A significant minority of my users use it. I notice that when setting installLocation to auto, the widgets will disappear as soon as the user moves the app to the SD card. When the app is in internal memory (whatever the value of installLocation set in the Manifest), the widgets function fine. This is somewhat described in the docs: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html The question is, the docs explicitly say apps, such as mine (e.g. using widgets), SHOULD NOT set the installLocation in this way. Is that simply because of the above behaviour (in which case SHOULD NOT sounds too strong), or should I take it to imply that there may be changes made further down the line which cause greater problems? As it stands, I can stomach informing users that it's either run-from-sd-card OR show widgets but NOT both. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: App Widget considerations when enabling installLocation in manifest
Having been forced to enable install-to-SD for a couple of apps which feature widgets, this is a bit of a sore spot with me. I say forced because the average user doesn't understand the issues involved, only understands that you (the dev) haven't enabled install-to-SD, so they downrate you for it. Then other average users downrate you because their widgets disappeared. It's a no-win situation. I think your reading of the docs is correct, that the only downside currently is that appwidgets do get removed if/when the app gets moved to SD. As to whether more serious problems may arise in the future, who can say? Probably nobody at this point, and those who might (the framework team) won't, because they basically aren't allowed to talk about future plans. My preference would be for the system to ask the user before it moves an app with widgets to the SD card, or (at the very least) warns the user of these consequences if they move an app manually. Unfortunately, this change would have to be made at the system level, and somehow it doesn't seem likely. As a workaround, I'm currently in the process of implementing a warning of my own in the app's main activity. It'll check to see if it's been installed to SD, and if it has, issue a warning of its own. That's suboptimal - there's no guarantee the user will open the main activity in a timely manner to see this warning - but it's better than nothing, and will hopefully reduce the 1* Market comments. As it stands, I can stomach informing users that it's either run-from-sd-card OR show widgets but NOT both. How are you planning to inform your users of this?

[android-developers] Installing apk package from my application
Hi,
I'm trying to write an application which will install the apk from a
specified location. The code I've added is
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
File apkFile = new File(/data/install_flashplayer.apk);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(apkFile),
application/vnd.android.package-archive);
int reqCode = 0;
startActivityForResult(intent,reqCode);
Log.v(REsult,reqCode = +reqCode);
}
This is installing the install_flashplayer.apk from the location /data.
The problem i'm facing is that after the package is installed, it shows a
messagebox with the button Done. I'm expecting the behaviour of pressing
Done button should close the application itself rather than only closing the
messagebox. Right now, It closes the message box and package installer and
shows my application.
Can anyone help me how to get notified that Done button is pressed and
how to close the application once it is clicked?
Thanks,
Maha

[android-developers] Re : Re: Application installation
Hello Mah and all,
I have exactly the same problem as Surfer has, with the two conditions you
mention met. I have sign my application with the platform (SDK for the
moment, a real one later on) key+cert, and
have android:sharedUserId=android.uid.system (as well as the
granted android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES permission) in my manifest.
But still, after running :
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_INSTALL,
Uri.parse(file:///android_asset/otherApp.apkfile:/android_asset/otherApp.apk
));
myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(myIntent);
I still get an exception with No Activity found to handle Intent {
act=android.intent.action.PACKAGE_INSTALL
dat=file:///android_asset/otherApp.apk flg=0x1000 }
Does this mean this no system activity (such as the PackageInstallActivity)
is able to handle such an intent ?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Looks like the path of apk is wrong and it shoudn't be start with
file:/// protocol. Place your apk in android_asset and give the path
direclty like

Re: [android-developers] SAMPLE CODE - creating-remote-background-service
You do not need a remote service within a single application, as your sample illustrates. While you can use AIDL and binding for local services, it's unclear if there are any benefits compared to just using a local Binder. Remote services -- where the client and service are in separate applications -- *do* need AIDL if you want to use the binding pattern. Also, using setClassName() as you have it is an anti-pattern. For local services, use the constructor that takes the actual class. For remote services, the service should publish an intent-filter that is stable (e.g., using a custom action string). Even better is to publish one intent-filter per version of the exported API. Your code as written will break when the service author refactors their code, and the service has no way to know which version of the service's API the client wants to receive. Also, your client (Activity) never unbinds from the service, which is bad form. If you bind to the service, unbind from it. If the service is supposed to live past the end of the client's life, you should be using startService().

[android-developers] Re: Input method randomly disabled?
Thanks for the link... That's a shame that apps on the SD card have so many limitations. I'd rather not disable the ability to move to SD, as this app is much more than simply an input method, and I'd get far more complains about the inability to move to SD than I have about the input method being disabled. I'll add something to our Android Market listing about it, but it seems like Android should either add something to the input method enable screen about it, or the move to SD screen, or both.

[android-developers] Dialog inflation bug in SDK r11 (3.1)?
I've run into an interesting problem that I think I've narrowed down to a regression bug in (at least) the latest version of the Android SDK, and I'm hoping someone here can help me confirm it. The trace of the crash is this: [54329.978265] 05-28 22:49:34.190 E/AndroidRuntime( 7974): java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent.

The code leading up to that point is inflating a custom dialog from a layout XML resource; the interesting thing is that it was working fine in the previous release of the app, and a code compare confirms that it hasn't changed in the interim. However, this previous release was built on Feb 28, so it was definitely built with an earlier release of the SDK. I can't swear if it was built with r9 or 10. What I'm hoping is that somebody here still has an installation of r9 or r10 in place that they can try this on, to confirm my suspicion about the nature of this bug. It's quite easy to reproduce; the last example at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog (the Java in the final code block) will do it. Or, I can easily send a minimal test project too. Thanks... I'm off to try and work around it now.

The installation worked. However, when I run my Timer App on my phone and another app runs concurrently, my phone freezes up and I have to pull the battery to unlock the phone.

Another time, the Timer App was running, I opened up a web browser while it was running, and this caused the phone to freeze up.

Nothing you can do without rooting the phone (or perhaps exploiting some odd corners of the device administrator interface?) should be able to make the phone unresponsive for more than the application not responding timeout - which is normally a few seconds but up to about 30? one some devices. So it seems like you've tripped over a bug in the build of android on that phone. Likely there are problems in your code as well - you can probably do a better job of handling the activity lifecycle.

Re: [android-developers] Installing apk package from my application
Note that installing from the SD card is fundamentally dangerous because
another app can replace that file with their own and cause the user to
install something different than you intend.

Hi,
I'm trying to write an application which will install the apk from a
specified location. The code I've added is
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
File apkFile = new File(/data/install_flashplayer.apk);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(apkFile),
application/vnd.android.package-archive);
int reqCode = 0;
startActivityForResult(intent,reqCode);
Log.v(REsult,reqCode = +reqCode);
}
This is installing the install_flashplayer.apk from the location /data.
The problem i'm facing is that after the package is installed, it shows a
messagebox with the button Done. I'm expecting the behaviour of pressing
Done button should close the application itself rather than only closing the
messagebox. Right now, It closes the message box and package installer and
shows my application.
Can anyone help me how to get notified that Done button is pressed
and how to close the application once it is clicked?
Thanks,
Maha

Re: [android-developers] Fixed UserId for APK
No. It will let you, as name indicates, share IDs among your packages. But there's no way you can get fixed ID as user ids are assigned on each device depending i.e. on number of already installed packages etc. What you think you need it for?

It wouldn't be secure unless there was a global registry of these user IDs and the apps that own them, that the platform could look up at install, to ensure that some other spoof app is not using the user ID.

Well, that's not an entirely ridiculous idea, as the whole android security model itself is based on userids. However, the application needs to decide what the appropriate userid to allow _on_a_given_install_ is, by first utilizing some other authentication mechanism.

On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 3:04 PM, bob b...@coolgroups.com wrote: Does anyone know what the Android emulator bottleneck is on most PCs? The bottleneck is in the emulator trying to do the graphics that it normally does with hardware acceleration. As Xav pointed out in the Android Development Tools Google I|O 2011 presentation, if you create a Honeycomb emulator with QVGA screen size (not realistic for production), it runs quickly. Is it probably just the CPU? Insofar as a faster CPU will help a bit with faster CPU-based graphics work, yes. The real long-term answer is to get the UI to be rendered outside of the qemu emulation environment, using the actual hardware acceleration of your development machine. Watch the aforementioned presentation on YouTube for a demo. Does anyone know of a computer where the emulator works at a decent speed? 2.2 on down work fine for me on a dual-core 2.5GHz notebook. 2.3 is a bit sluggish. 3.x is painful even on a quad-core (not i7) 2.66GHz desktop. An i7 with Turbo Boost may help, simply because the emulator is single-threaded, so if you're not doing much else when the emulator runs, you can get 3.4GHz or thereabouts, depending on CPU. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Oslo: http://bit.ly/fjBo24 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Android emulator bottleneck
I have a 3.3ghz quad core with 4 gb ram that runs 2.3.3 on the emulator fine at WQVGA432. Same computer fails miserably to run 3.0 at WXGA. Runs fine, that is, except when it decides to randomly crash when clicking anywhere on the skin, and then failing to clean up after itself and usually keeping a zombie emulator process running. So I guess it depends. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android emulator bottleneck
There are so much misinformation in this thread. Let's try to clarify: The *main* bottleneck for slow performance in the emulator is OpenGLES emulation, which is currently performed in software, moreover in emulated ARM instructions. All platform releases are emulated by the same virtual CPU, the differences in performance come from the following facts: - Gingerbread switched to use 32-bit surfaces by default for all activities. Even if the emulated framebuffer is still 16-bit, that's about twice the cost per pixel for each operation, hence why it is slower than Froyo at comparable resolutions. Apart from that, the platforms are nearly identical (well, the JIT in Gingerbread is much better than in Froyo). - Honeycomb uses OpenGL ES much more aggressively than Gingerbread. As a consequence, there are a lot more operations involved per pixel (due to all the fancy effects), which results in the current lack of performance. As demonstrated by Xav at Google I/O, we're working on a solution to render all GLES operations on the host GPU, which will significantly speed things up. No ETA, it will be released when it's ready (hint: it's not). Now, assuming the GLES problem is handled, the second reason why the emulator is slow is the software MMU. In other words, each memory load or store operation in the guest must involve a lengthy translation (from guest virtual address to guest physical address to host address within the emulator process). This translation depends on the state of the emulated virtual ARM CPU and cannot be done easily. To speed things up, a small 256-pages cache is used but this results, in the best case, in a series of 20-something host instructions + several memory accesses to implement a single load or store (when you hit the cache, things are _much_ worse in case of a miss). Finally, there is the issue of translating each ARM instruction into a series of host x86 instructions. This of course has an impact, but most arithmetic operations can be translated into something that is hardly 2x or 3x slower than the real thing. Compared to the cost of virtual memory access, this is minimal. On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 9:30 PM, jtoolsdev brianjto...@gmail.com wrote: Ah, the emulator isn't running ARM code just the Dalvik engine.
