I am spinning a thread to go online and get data. But if phone is in a
network hole (no signal) it throws an exception.
In the exception I try to call Toast or finish() the activity but both
those cause a crash.

Here's the error and my code:
 error is:
06-14 11:32:01.691: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7389):
java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that
has not called Looper.prepare()

here is the code, note the catch clause at the end which is where my
problem lies:

*
private Thread checkUpdate = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
URL updateURL = new URL(http://search.twitter.com/
search.json?q=+string_from_speaker);
URLConnection conn = updateURL.openConnection();
...
} catch (Exception e) {
// none of these exception handlers work becaue they are in wrong
thread!! WTF?
// NOPE tv1.setText( having trouble getting online); // TODO
// NOPE Toast.makeText(IconicAgain.this, having trouble getting
online + e, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
};


Can I at least stop this thread somehow? Or close the activity
somehow?

[android-developers] Re: Google removed 10 mallware apps - I'm affected. Please help

2011-06-14 Thread Yahel

Sorry that you only found out now about google's ways of doing things.

That is true to everything Google and that's the best advice I can
give you : Never ever rely on one of their ecosystems to be your only
source of income.

Actually you can broaden this : Never ever rely on anyone ecosystem to
be your only source of income.

But it is especially true for Google : You see, they seem like a huge
company making billions of dollars in benefice each year so you'd
think they would have a huge staff helping their users, communicating
before taking decisions, warning people of services disruption, not
pushing piles and piles of bugs into the Android Market each and
everytime they upgrade it since there is a good 10 000 developers
using it.

But the truth is : For every project Google launches the team that
works on it is only of 2-6 people. Only engineers, no designers, no
graphists, no supervisors, no usability engineer. And with such small
teams for applications that have tenth of thousands users you can
easily see how they have no time to treat things case by case.

So what happened to you is something like this : An engineer found out
that one malware used permissions XX and a specific access to i/o via
NDK. So since he has no time for these foolisheries he just pulled all
the apps that have these specifics in their code.

- That's 10 apps and there is one with 6,5 millions downloads and a
five star rating and no complaints
- Yeah I don't care we don't have time for this, pull the plug !!

For what it's worth, with a delay of two weeks I was able to have a
contact with the Android Market team once on this mail address :
android-market-support AT google.com

I really feel your pain and I hope you get it sorted out.
But be sure to start several other apps for iphone as I did and find
other revenues that do not depends on someone else framework.

Good luck.

 Hello Guys and Google,
 I'm the developer of the most popular flashlight application on the
 Android Market - Tiny Flashlight + LED (over 6.5 million downloads,
 top 50 in the overall applications ranking).

 Today I found that Google have deleted my developer account without
 any notice and removed Tiny Flashlight from the market. I saw the news
 that Google removed 10 malware apps from the Android Market 
 (http://phandroid.com/2011/06/14/google-removes-10-new-malware-apps-fr...
 ) and decided to write you.

 Seems like I've been affected by this and I hope this will be resolved
 soon, because I have invested a lot in Tiny Flashlight. For the one
 year since Tiny Flashlight has been released, I've managed to create
 one of the best android applications on the market. Although a
 flashlight application seems easy to create, it's actually quite hard
 on android, because the different hardware vendors have different
 camera drivers and this requires a lot of workarounds just to start
 the camera led / flash. This takes a lot of time and investment. In
 the last 4 months alone I had to buy over 20 different android
 devices, spend huge amounts of time finding a way to start the led on
 these devices and making the whole process trouble-free for the user.
 I've also gone a step further. Tiny Flashlight is one of the few
 applications, which supports all android versions on the market - 1.5,
 1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, and 3.1. It's the only flashlight
 application, which still works on Motorola Quench / i1 / Backflip (all
 Android 1.5).

 Tiny Flashlight has become my primary source of income and the
 investment I've made is huge. Every single line of code has been
 written by me (except the Admob, Millennial Media, and Flurry SDKs,
 but I think they are respectable companies and would never allow any
 malware in their distributed SDKs).

 I just can not afford to make the tiniest mistake with Tiny
 Flashlight, because it's one of the top applications on the market and
 I have over 4 million active users and I've invested my life into
 this.

 I’m angry that Google never contacted me. They just deleted the whole
 account. I hope that they will fix it soon, before I lose my users and
 ranking position.

Only downside is that it shuts down your instance after a few
minutes of inactivity. The first access after that needs to start
up the instance again and this can be slow. So it might not
be the best choice if access to your app is infrequent.
Of course, you can pay $0.30/day to have an 'always-on'
instance and then it's quite snappy.

Another thing to consider is that the datastore can be quite
slow, so if your app is data intensive, you might need to look into
memcache to optimize things a bit.

Re: [android-developers] Services and Alarm Manager

On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 1:17 AM, Simon Platten
simonaplat...@googlemail.com wrote:
 Ok, so how do  you schedule an alarm in the same way the alarm clock does?
 So that once scheduled the application can be killed, but the alarm remains
 ?

You can't. The alarm clock itself can have its alarms removed, AFAIK.

 On ny phone I regularly kill all processes using task manager, yet my alarn
 continues to wake me up everyday.

First, you are not killing all processes, otherwise the phone would
crash. This may be news to you, but computer operating systems use
processes to actually run.

Second, most likely, the alarm clock process was not running at the
time you killed all processes.

The act of task-killing (task killers) or force-stopping (Settings
app) is associated with a process. A side effect of task-killing and
force-stopping a process is that all scheduled alarms are removed that
were associated with the application that was running in that process.

As I wrote before:

  The alarm clock app's code is only running around the time the user is 
 setting an alarm or when an alarm is occurring.

Hence, unless you actually task-kill/force-stop THE ALARM CLOCK'S
PROCESS, the alarm clock's ALARMS WILL REMAIN UNAFFECTED by any other
task-killage/force-stoppage that goes on around it.

A well-written application using AlarmManager will behave much like
the alarm clock app: the app is only active while delivering actual
value to the user. For example, IntentService is frequently used with
AlarmManager to make sure the service goes away ASAP once its value is
delivered.

Task killers have one difference compared to the Settings app -- they
tend to *really* focus on processes, whereas the Settings app focuses
more on components (i.e., Running Services). A process does not
immediately exit once all activities are finished and services are
stopped -- Android hangs onto the process until it needs the RAM, in
case for some reason that same application needs to run again. Hence,
a task killer is more likely to attack processes that are actually
well-behaved, and there's not much you can really do about it.

Re: [android-developers] NFC Foreground Dispatch System

You need to enableForegroundDispatch() on every activity that is
supposed to be watching for NFC tag events. From what I've read, if
Activity A enables dispatch and Activity B is in the foreground, the
dispatch doesn't happen.

Also, to get onNewIntent() to work, make sure your Intent inside the
PendingIntent has FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP|FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP as
its flags. Here is a sample application demonstrating this:

Start with something simple and get it working first. Write a simple
servlet that gets data for http parameters and persists using JDO.
Once that is working, you can move to Objectify, etc. Consider
how complex your application is first though: you might not
need it at all.

There is nothing special on the Android side either: just post
your data to the appengine URL. You can test with curl
and similar tools to identify if the problems is in the Android

Possibly, but I doubt it.

AFAIK, every activity that needs to respond to NFC tags will need to
enableForegroundDispatch() in, say, onResume(), and disable in, say,
onPause(). Or whatever pair of points on the timeline make sense for
your app.

You can't. There are no methods for that on Timer or TimerTask.

 I believe that if an activity is forced to close (crashes), then the system
 goes to the previous activity in the stack.

   This is a requirement for my app, to be not auto-restarted when the user
  kills the app.

 If the user kills the app (i.e., they go to the app management screen and
 Force Stop it) then it should not be auto-restarted.

  Hello Guys and Google,
  I'm the developer of the most popular flashlight application on the
  Android Market - Tiny Flashlight + LED (over 6.5 million downloads,
  top 50 in the overall applications ranking).

  Today I found that Google have deleted my developer account without
  any notice and removed Tiny Flashlight from the market. I saw the news
  that Google removed 10 malware apps from the Android Market 
  (http://phandroid.com/2011/06/14/google-removes-10-new-malware-apps-fr...
  ) and decided to write you.

  Seems like I've been affected by this and I hope this will be resolved
  soon, because I have invested a lot in Tiny Flashlight. For the one
  year since Tiny Flashlight has been released, I've managed to create
  one of the best android applications on the market. Although a
  flashlight application seems easy to create, it's actually quite hard
  on android, because the different hardware vendors have different
  camera drivers and this requires a lot of workarounds just to start
  the camera led / flash. This takes a lot of time and investment. In
  the last 4 months alone I had to buy over 20 different android
  devices, spend huge amounts of time finding a way to start the led on
  these devices and making the whole process trouble-free for the user.
  I've also gone a step further. Tiny Flashlight is one of the few
  applications, which supports all android versions on the market - 1.5,
  1.6, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0, and 3.1. It's the only flashlight
  application, which still works on Motorola Quench / i1 / Backflip (all
  Android 1.5).

  Tiny Flashlight has become my primary source of income and the
  investment I've made is huge. Every single line of code has been
  written by me (except the Admob, Millennial Media, and Flurry SDKs,
  but I think they are respectable companies and would never allow any
  malware in their distributed SDKs).

  I just can not afford to make the tiniest mistake with Tiny
  Flashlight, because it's one of the top applications on the market and
  I have over 4 million active users and I've invested my life into
  this.

  I’m angry that Google never contacted me. They just deleted the whole
  account. I hope that they will fix it soon, before I lose my users and
  ranking position.

[android-developers] Is it possible to automatically open a browser when an NFC tag is scanned?

2011-06-14 Thread Joshua Partogi

Hi there,

Maybe this is more like a request than a question. Is it possible for
the Tags application to automatically open a browser when the data
inside the NFC tag is an URI type data? We are thinking to create a
tag where our application will be automatically downloaded when user
uses his/her phone to read this tag.

Thank you very much for the assistance.

Kind regards,
Joshua.

The standard Tags application, when it detects an NFC tag with an NDEF
record containing a URI, presently displays a New tag collected
activity. Tapping on the tag will then open the browser on the URL.

 We are thinking to create a
 tag where our application will be automatically downloaded when user
 uses his/her phone to read this tag.

If the URL is a market:// URL, once the user taps the entry in the
New tag collected activity, that should open up the Market app. It
is possible that the Market app has an Intent filter that will get
control first, avoiding the Tags application -- I haven't tried that
yet.

If the URL is a URL to someplace else (e.g., your APK on your own Web
site), then once the user taps the entry in the New tag collected
activity, it should behave just as if the user had clicked on a link
on a Web page in their device pointing to the same URL.

Re: [android-developers] Re: NFC Foreground Dispatch System

2011-06-14 Thread Ferit Topcu

Thanks.

Perhaps it has something to do with my PendingIntent, again. All
nfc-logic, reading a tag etc. is realized in an external class. After
that every Activity is only invoking the method of this external
class. The enableForegroundDispatch() invoke is realized in this class
and the activity methods onResume(), onPause(), onNewIntent() are
calling the external methods.

Perhaps if i'm using a PendingIntent:

mPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(con.getApplicationContext(), 0, new
Intent(con.getApplicationContext(),
getClass()).addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP), 0)

is it important which class is used? I mean the Context / Activity is
given to the external class and in the Intent there is the Information
about the context and the external class. Perhaps the dispatching
system has a problem with this procedure where an Intent refers to
non-acitivity class and the onNewIntent()-method is a activity class.
At the current this the point where a inconsistency is possible for
me.

Hi Mark,

Thank you very much for the explanation. We actually want the default

to tap the entry in the New tag collected. Maybe this is too much to

yet.

If the URL is a URL to someplace else (e.g., your APK on your own Web
site), then once the user taps the entry in the New tag collected
activity, it should behave just as if the user had clicked on a link
on a Web page in their device pointing to the same URL.

getClass() needs to return an Activity.

You do not need getApplicationContext() here, in either location.

And if you want onNewIntent() to be invoked, I think you need both
FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP and FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP, by my read of
the docs.

[android-developers] Re: Option to unlock the boot loader for Sony Ericsson Android Gingerbread phones now available.

2011-06-14 Thread Carl

Hi

We have seen in some forums that customers unlocking the boot loader
on their phones have experienced problems when they accept a FOTA
(Firmware upgrade Over The Air) update. The issue has been reproduced
and we are working on a solution. For customers that have unlocked the
boot loader - do not accept the Firmware upgrade OTA.

 Thanks for your feedback here on Google groups and the Developer blog.
 At the moment there is no turning back after unlocking thebootloader

 However, we are looking into alternatives such as sharing information

 Thank you very much for the explanation. We actually want the default

 like a feature request.

The Tags application is more or less the last line of NDEF processing.
If there is a more specific Intent filter available, Android will use
it. Hence, it is more an issue of all of the Android Web browsers
adding NDEF support -- not just the AOSP one, but Firefox Mobile,
Opera Mobile, Dolphin HD, Steel, etc.

Instead of getting the raw (but very small) bitmap data, get the Uri of the

intent, if i'm not mistaken. Then, given the Uri, read the full bitmap data 
yourself.

[android-developers] Loading a Class from an APK file with dependency on other Jars

2011-06-14 Thread Mahender

Hi,
 I am trying to load a class from apk file and create an instance
of that class, but the problem is when the class is depending on other
JARS then the loading of class is failing.

I was loading the class using DexClassLoader as show below.
DexClassLoader dxLoader = new DexClassLoader(dataSourcePath, /sdcard/
tmp, null, getClass().getClassLoader());
handler = dxLoader.loadClass(className);

Is there any other way to Load a class from APK which has dependency
on Other Jars.

You have to make sure that the class resolves properly. 
- Don't change the class and load the JAR as well
- Change the class (if that's possible) to remove dependencies on that jar, 
and recompile.

Just send Intent from your i.e.player code to widgets to make it refresh

 Start with something simple and get it working first. Write a simple

 Once that is working, you can move to Objectify, etc. Consider
 how complex your application is first though: you might not
 need it at all.

 There is nothing special on the Android side either: just post
 your data to the appengine URL. You can test with curl

Is this a Service as opposed to an activity? Or is there a

positive you have an Activity then you should print out the Intent in the
onCreate and see if you find something.

[android-developers] [SOLVED] Custom Widget Will Not Fill Parent View

2011-06-14 Thread Robert

I managed to fill the toolbar_item within the toolbar by adding another 
LinearLayout inside of the toolbar.xml:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
   android:layout_width=match_parent
   android:layout_height=@dimen/toolbar_height
   android:layout_centerVertical=true
   android:orientation=horizontal
   android:background=@color/separator 

   LinearLayout
  android:id=@+id/toolbar
  android:layout_width=match_parent
  android:layout_height=match_parent /

/RelativeLayout

So I essentially add the toolbar items within the LinearLayout, and it 
enables me to match the height and width of the parent. Even though this 
works, I'm still boggled as to why this way works, and not my original way. 
The only problem now is that I get a little padding around the items.

Any ideas as to why this way works?

Content Policies (http://www.android.com/us/developer-content-policy.html):

Product descriptions should not be misleading or loaded with keywords in an 
attempt to manipulate ranking or relevancy in the store’s search results.

There were similar take downs (

  Hi,

  The case is that my simulator is terrible slow, not only starting,
  else for instance doing actions as simple as scrolling a listview, or
  click on a tab. I am working with Eclipse + ADT plugin on a Mac Book
  Pro very new. I think it is performance problem of the simulator, but
  may be could be improved this performance modifying some parameters i
  don't know...

  Any idea?

  Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: NFC Secure Element

Ok thanks for advices Michael,

I will try to modify the mifare area of the Nexus in order to
reproduce my badge.

 Hallo Marcus,

  At time, I'm able to put my devices into emulation mode.
  I'm getting ATR and UID throuth my OMNIKEY CardMan 5321 :
     - ATR: 3B 8A 80 01 00 31 C1 73 C8 40 00 00 90 00 90

 Correct, this is the ATR generated for the SmartMX.

     - The ID of the emulated card is constant even if i start a new
  power cycle .

 Correct, the UID of the SmartMX is static (by default).

  My question is how can I found my UID on the NXP chip ?

 What do you mean by find?

  - Do you want to read the UID value from Android?

 This can be done through some hidden/internalNFCAPIs.

  Can you give me more information about the 0x key? I don't
  understant how to use it ...

 This is the authentication key to the MIFARE Classic area of the
 SmartMX. You can use this key to read  write data to the 4K MIFARE area
 on the SmartMX. You would use this key with your reader's MIFARE access
 methods (either reader specific or compliant to the PC/SC standard for
 access to contactless memory cards).

 With your Omnikey reader it will be quite difficult to use the MIFARE
 area as it automatically activates the SmartMX up to its highest
 protocol level (APDU-based access to the JavaCard). So the MIFARE
 protocol will not work on this activation level. (As far as I remember
 you might be able to disable the automatic protocol activation with some
 registry tweaks.)

 br,
 Michael

[android-developers] problems with fopen in native code

2011-06-14 Thread Frank

Hi All,

I am experiencing a strange problem of using fopen in native code. I
have a few files in /mnt/sdcard/Download and all of them have -rw
privileges. However, when I call my native function which in turns
uses fopen to open them, I got null returns for some files, but valid
returns for others. Why is that? Any insights? Thanks.

Cheers,
Frank

The SD card uses FAT, so permissions shouldn't really matter.
Check errno in your native code to see the actual error.
What is the difference between the files that are OK and the
ones that are not?

Re: [android-developers] Display.getRotation() incompatible with accelerometer data

2011-06-14 Thread Marcin Mikosik

I exchanged emails with producer of this tablet and service person
acknowledged that's a bug in its firmware. They are not planning any
fixes/updates.
Based on that I claimed my money back in store where I originally bought
this device.


On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 10:45 AM, Marcin Mikosik marcin.miko...@gmail.comwrote:

 Yes, it has android market preinstalled. It also has google maps, youtube,
 gmail apps preinstalled.
 The package box it was sold in has android logo on every side.



Concerning GPS I misread Android 2.2 Compatibility Definition. It says
... each compatible device *should* provide GPS receiver Which means
that it is recommended not required to have GPS.


 I accidentally skimmed through Android 2.2 Compatibility Definition today
 and found out that each compatible device should provide GPS receiver - this
 device does not have one. I installed
 https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstestfeature=search_result
  that
 works correctly on my Nexus-One but fails on go-clever s73 tab with
 force-close, message from logcat says:
 Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: provider=gps
 E/AndroidRuntime( 2657): at
 android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1251)
 ..


 I guess we are reaching conclusion that this device is not android
 compatible device which brings a few important questions:
 - How an ordinary user can make sure that a device she/he is going to buy
 is actually 'android compatible device'? Is it some kind of android logo on
 package box or some specific textual declaration from manufacturer? So far I
 thought that presence of android market is enough as one of its
 prerequisites is to pass CCD compatibility tests.
 - As this device contains android market but fails to implement android API
 it will inevitably cause many of its users to rate low many applications
 that won't work correctly on such devices. How is google protecting
 developers/users from such situations?

 thanks
 marcin

 Hi,

 I'm experimenting with newly bought android tablet and found out that
 android API it provides does not comply with android API
 documentation/specification.
 Specifically Display.getRotation() and Accelerometer readings returns
 values that contradicts each other.

 For example:
 running application that has android:screenOrientation=landscape and
 quering Display.getRotation() returns Surface.ROTATION_0 which means this
 tablet is landscape-default device as described in
 http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/one-screen-turn-deserves-another.html

 Still, when running the same application and holding device in
 landscape orientation in front of me, I get accelerometer reading that 
 says
 something around: X=10, Y=0 which is clearly wrong because accelerometer
 coordinate system should be aligned with device default orientation
 (landscape in this case). According to blogpost mentioned above - when I
 keep device in its default-orientation (which is landscape in this case) I
 should get accelerometer reading X=0, Y=10.

 Can anybody suggest what's wrong here?
 Either my device is broken or its software has a bug or I misunderstood
 the API semantics (?)

 thanks
 Marcin
