This is (or at least was) not reliably accurate.

  Bingo. @Override has no effect at runtime, but it's a compile-time

[android-developers] Re: How to change device file permission from Java app.

2011-08-09 Thread uday kiran jandhyala
Hello Mark,

In java.io, the File API is supposed to provide APIs like

setExecutable (boolean)
setWritable (boolean)
setReadable (boolean)

However, in the android.jar which includes all the needed classes,
the java.io package doesn't provide the above APIs in the File class.

Has this been done for security reasons ?
Which means if an application downloads some bytes and writes to
a file created through the below code

File destination = new File (/sdcard/myfile.txt);

there is no way to change permissions of 'myfile.txt' to 777 ?

There is a 'Runtime' facility provided through java.lang, but I'm
skeptical
whether to use this or not. Runtime would only work on rooted devices
right?

eg.,

  If you have more than one app, you can use hose ads with AdMob.
  You can set up your other apps to display ads for the one you want to

[android-developers] Re: Multiple APK support - Who's tried it?

2011-08-09 Thread mort
The concept is quite fine imho, but sadly the Market still has some
severe bugs.
I uploaded a new update that uses multiple apks yesterday.
The apk upload area works fine, at least for my usecase (legacy
version for Android 1.5/1.6, other version for 2.0+ devices), it also
shows (temporary) conflicts, like when the old apk isn't deactivated
so far.
The first problem that occured, is that obviously nobody at the Market
team thought about consistense with the description page. I had to
publish the new apks, leave to apps overview, and reopen the app page
to be able to add a change description - and I've honestly no clue if
it's visible to all users or just those getting one of the apks (I
assume the latter). There's no way to use different change logs, and
there's even less chance to update them (and the main app description)
in one go with activating the new apks.
After that, it took quite a while until the changes reflected in the
web market, which btw. even shows differs by device if the version
string is the same for all published apks.
But the biggest trouble is: On the devices, only the 1.x devices seem
to be able to update without much trouble, the 2.x devices often see
the new update, but the update button is disabled - although there's
a huge gap in version numbers (from 213 to 20004, resp. 10004 for the
1.x version). I still need to find some workaround for this...

Not exactly a pitfall, but a bit sad: While you are able to use
separate apks for different screen sizes and OpenGL resolutions, you
are not able to use separate apks for different resolutions (ldpi,
mdpi, ...). So the biggest unnecessary bloat (unused images for other
resolutions) can't be removed with the current multiple apk support.

[android-developers] Re: Accessing PostGIS database from Android

You're missing a try catch for java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.

 Hi all,

 I'm new to Android development and Java. Now I'm work on application
 that should interact with PostgreSQL (to be exact PostGIS) database. I
 read Android  PostgreSQL presentation by Mark Wong [1] and know
 that latest PostgreSQL JDBC driver (postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc.jar) works
 on Android.

 First I try to add external JAR in console because my PC is a bit slow
 for
 using Eclipse. As I understand from presentation, to use JDBC driver I
 should create .classpath file in the my ptoject directory and all will
 work.

 But when I try to build project with and I get next error:

 [javac] /home/alex/files/data/git/firereporter/src/com/nextgis/
 firereporter/ReportActivity.java:51: unreported exception
 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be
 thrown
 [javac]         Class.forName(org.postgresql.Driver);
 [javac]                      ^

 Here is my .classpath file

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
 classpath
        classpathentry kind=lib path=/home/alex/devel/java/
 postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc4.jar
 /classpath

 I try to search how to do this, but all tips are related to Eclipse.
 Well,
 I install Eclipse and ADT plugin, then create new Android project and
 tried to add JAR as described in [2] and [3] but this also don't help.
 I get error on string

 Class.forName(org.postgresql.Driver);

 and project doesn't builds.

 Can anyone help me with this? May be I miss something or do it wrong?

[android-developers] GLSurfaceView inside gallery

2011-08-09 Thread Goyo
Hi,

Imagine a Gallery containing 2 fullscreen views, so the user can
scroll from a view to the other. The firs view is a common view, the
second view is a subclass of GLSurfaceView with its EGLContextFactory,
where some content is drawed. The drawing works but the problem is
that I NEED (for some reason) to start drawing in the GLSurfaceView
as soon as the Activity is running (even if it is not visible for the
user), but I can't because the EGL context is not created until the
user scrolls to the  GL SurfaceView.

To be clearer, 'createContext' in EGLContextFactory is called when the
user scrolls but I want it to be called from the beginin even if the
user does not scroll, to start my OpenGL ES operations when the
Activity starts.

Is there any way to tell the Gallery to 'activate' the second view
from the begining to make createContext be called?

Thanks for your help.
Goyo

You may want to check the .jar file you included in you .classpath ,
make sure you have Driver.class in it, so the reflection
method( that's Class.forname('org.postgresql.Driver'),which is
obviously used in your ReportActivity somehow directly or indirectly)
will work correctly in your code.

[android-developers] Re: Just in section

2011-08-09 Thread BoD
I am the developer of the app 'No Lock', which indeed makes use of the 
Keyguard apis, to try to disable the lock screen.
I can confirm that this does not work very well, and inconsistently across 
devices ;)  I understand the api was not meant to be used this way.

The app has had about 770K downloads, which clearly shows that there is a 
real demand from the users to be able to disable the lock screen completely.
Some people just want to use their phone immediately even if that means a 
risk the phone will inadvertently turn itself on in your pocket :)

I was not aware that this option existed in 3.x and I am very glad to hear 
that.  I really hope it will also be there for phones under Ice Cream 
Sandwitch!

 free, so I was thinking of using a freemium model where the app is free to
 download, then locks after a certain amount of gameplay and prompts the user
 to unlock the full version using in-app purchases.

 I'd be interested to hear any experiences of any developers who might
 currently be using this approach.

 From a marketing/sales perspective, how well does this model work? I know
 in-app purchases for virtual goods is extremely lucrative if done well, but
 I haven't heard any experiences of the unlock-full-version model on the
 Android Market.

 From a technical perspective, how easy is it for users to exploit such a
 model, e.g. uninstalling and reinstalling the app or wiping local data
 associated with the app in order to circumvent the limitations of the free
 version? Are there best practices to avoid this?

 From a legal perspective, should developers (especially indie ones like me)
 be concerned about the current patent trolling and lawsuits by companies
 like Lodsys? Google still hasn't publicly commented on patent trolls
 targeting Android developers, have they?

         how to pass hash table from one activity to another using

intent.putExtra(key, yourHashtable);

Hashtable is Serializable and therefore should go in an Intent extra.
However, this may be slow and memory intensive. Moreover, this should
only be used for truly contextual data -- the sort of thing you might
put on a GET parameter in a Web link. If this Hashtable is really your
data model, you should have it in a central spot (e.g., database)
rather than pass it via extras.

udayjandhy...@gmail.com wrote:
 Has this been done for security reasons ?

Probably.

 Which means if an application downloads some bytes and writes to
 a file created through the below code

 File destination = new File (/sdcard/myfile.txt);

 there is no way to change permissions of 'myfile.txt' to 777 ?

First, nobody uses /sdcard, since it is wrong. Use
Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().

Second, nobody bothers to try to change Linux file permissions on
external storage, since for the vast majority of current devices,
that's FAT32 (vfat in Linux-ese), and file permissions do not matter
much on that filesystem.

 There is a 'Runtime' facility provided through java.lang, but I'm
 skeptical
 whether to use this or not. Runtime would only work on rooted devices
 right?

More importantly, you cannot reliably change permission bits that way either.

And, most of all, you shouldn't be changing permission bits in the
first place. I have no idea what you think change the permission of
lcd device file permission, but it  has nothing to do with the
Android SDK.

Well, I don't want to access the parent activity from doInBackground,

it's not a good idea to make the AsyncTask a nonstatic nested class.

[android-developers] Re: Splash + Background loading design pattern

2011-08-09 Thread nadam
You can create a subclass of Application and start the loading in its
onCreate() method.

When the second activity is started it can check if the loading is
completed. If it's not completed yet it can register itself as a
listener that will be called by the AsyncTask.

However, as a user I would prefer to have the splash screen and
progress dialog merged into one screen with the logo, a progress
indicator and the text Loading list. Please wait...

On 9 Aug, 09:24, Mark Cz ome...@gmail.com wrote:

Re: [android-developers] pass hashtable from one activity to another activity

Use a Bundle instead of a Map (HashMap/Hashtable).

*Bundle bundle = new Bundle();*

*... // copy contents of hash map into bundle *
*...*
*intent.putExtra(myhashmap, bundle);*
*...*

In other activity:
**
*Bundle bundle = intent.getBundleExtra(myhashmap);*
*...*

But Mark has some good advice. If your hash map is substantially large, you 
may want to use some other model (database and such).

Instead of holding on to the Activity in the AsyncTask, just hold on to its 
application-context:

*
*
*  public MyAsyncTask(Context context) {*
*this.context = context.getApplicationContext();*

If you use the passed context just to get strings and such from the

   Bingo. @Override has no effect at runtime, but it's a compile-time
   sanity check. Rather useful, particularly for classes with lots of

those internal APIs. However, they are starting to do so now:

[android-developers] Re: Multiple APK support - Who's tried it?

2011-08-09 Thread b0b
I have not tried multiple APK support but IMHO it is much trouble for
what it's worth.
It is much more simple to have a universal APK, even if size is
bigger.

It could be useful if it allowed to have a BETA version of an app
alongside
a STABLE version. The current system doesn't make it easy to have a
once stable version going beta
for some period. That's why a lot of Market apps are beta quality even
if not explicitely stating so.

Use the Intent supplied to onNewIntent(). The Intent returned by

I sympathize with Spooky here as I have also just recently launched some new 
Live Wallpapers, and while I did see them in Just In on my phone market 
(doesn't have the new market client yet) -- and some users have indeed found 
them, they are nearly impossible to find by any means on the web client, 
which I find using more and more to search out apps and push downloads to my 
phone + tablet.  It's a little troubling and as some of the commenters on 
the Market thread suggest, the Top sections are relatively slow moving and 
static, even the Top New ones.  With that said, I do agree that most of 
the apps and items in the Top sections deserve to be there, and shouldn't 
be bumped just because someone launches an update of their app or launches a 
new app.  

I do think that for people who want to look at a more dynamic and changing 
list of items, this functionality is now gone with the Just In section's 
removal, and may inevitably hurt smaller developers, and possibly decrease 
sales from people who like to make impulse purchases or spend a lot of time 
perusing for new apps.

 You can create a subclass of Application and start the loading in its

 When the second activity is started it can check if the loading is

 However, as a user I would prefer to have the splash screen and 
 progress dialog merged into one screen with the logo, a progress 
 indicator and the text Loading list. Please wait... 


I agree with this, if they are going to press the button, and STILL have to 
wait for the data to load, might as well put a progress bar on the splash, 
so they have something pleasant to look at, remove the button, and 
automatically take them to the next screen when everything is loaded, so 
they don't have to press anything.

 Use the Intent supplied to onNewIntent(). The Intent returned by
 getIntent() will always be the original Intent used to create the
 activity.

But I am - and that's where the null exception occurs. Not sure if the
setIntent or  the super are needed. I will poke around a bit more to
see what is going on. But if the Intent supplied by the onNewIntent()
is what I need then that puts me on the right path.

Thanks again guys

On Tuesday, August 9, 2011 7:17:30 AM UTC-4, Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) 
wrote:

  Has this been done for security reasons ?

 Probably.

Unlikely, as it can be done with the ndk, and we are repeatedly told that 
the ndk does not have special permissions.  Most likely they just didn't 
bother implementing support in javaj for something that wasn't envisioned as 
needed.

  Which means if an application downloads some bytes and writes to
  a file created through the below code
 
  File destination = new File (/sdcard/myfile.txt);
 
  there is no way to change permissions of 'myfile.txt' to 777 ?

 First, nobody uses /sdcard, since it is wrong. Use
 Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().

 Second, nobody bothers to try to change Linux file permissions on
 external storage, since for the vast majority of current devices,
 that's FAT32 (vfat in Linux-ese), and file permissions do not matter
 much on that filesystem.

However, on internal storage where permissions matter, the java file 
creation tools do let you set the permissions to some extent (ie, various 
android presets, but not full unix bit-level control)

  There is a 'Runtime' facility provided through java.lang, but I'm
  skeptical
  whether to use this or not. Runtime would only work on rooted devices
  right?

 More importantly, you cannot reliably change permission bits that way 
 either.

The runtime facility does not require root, though it's perhaps not 
future-proof since it's not officially supported.  It's also needlessly 
roundabout.

A better way to do it would be to invoke an ndk subroutine through jni which 
uses the chmod() syscall.  There's nothing even slightly improper about 
doing that. 

first place. I have no idea what you think change the permission of
 lcd device file permission, but it  has nothing to do with the
 Android SDK.

This may be the only real problem - the device files are certainly not 
owned by application users, and so cannot have their permissions changed by 
one.   (_That_ might be the reason the task would require an ability to 
execute a stand alone program as root)

Ordinary files owned by an application user id and residing on a filesystem 
where it is meaningful can however have their permission bits changed.

Very true.

 Ordinary files owned by an application user id and residing on a filesystem

That being said, IMHO it's rarely a good idea. I would rather
developers provide a real API (remote service, content provider,

2011-08-09 Thread Jim
Since setIntent() stores a reference to the intent sent to
onNewIntent(), you need to either capture the data there or copy the
Intent to a local variable and reference it. Once onNewIntent()
finishes, the Intent goes away and your reference is null.

Try that...

HTC has been paying royalties to Microsoft for what, two years? And
only recently has Google shown concern. And HTC is probably at least
ten times higher on the totem pole than we developers are in terms of
our importance to Google.

Re: [android-developers] What should I use for common parts of UI in Android application?

2011-08-09 Thread Shane Isbell
In general, it is a good idea to start leveraging fragments. This will make
it easier to rebuild the UI on tablets. Fragments allows reuse and well as
storing of history state of each component.

If you are only interested in handsets and don't care about component reuse
or history state, then just use an activity and swap out components by
setting view visibility. Also the complexity of the UI component is a factor
(simple click events may not warrant a fragment but more complicated logic
may).

[android-developers] GLSurface creation taking time

I have an openGL based game running on 2.2. Sometimes the launch of

From the logs it appears surface creation is taking time. This is an

On Jul 6, 10:24 am, Christopher Van Kirk
christopher.vank...@gmail.com wrote:
 I think the lawyer that Mark Murphy posted makes a more compelling argument
 for resistance. The Lodsys model depends on many businesses yielding without
 a fight. If Lodsys faces an uphill battle with every single patent
 assertion, they'll make a loss on each one and we'll be rid of them in no
 time at all.


I am not convinced of this strategy and it could be counterproductive.
Responding to the Lodsys letter threatening a fight tells them two
things: a) you won't cooperate and b). You must have money and
therefore you are worth suing.

So far, having to fight several developers at once doesn't seem to
phase LodSys at all. They've filed suit against seven developers in
one court case, and they seem to be able to add and subtract
defendants at will. Apple is trying to intervene in the suit and they
still aren't phased.

The Groklaw people may be real lawyers but I see several flaws in
their suggestions.

1. Reexamination is stated by them as taking zero money. I have found
no evidence that that is true. If someone finds how to do that for
free, please post. But the estimates are $20,000-$30,000 and would
take two to three years. In the meantime, you would still have to pay
the costs of fighting LodSys if they decide to sue you. Not free. Not
even close.

2. Seeking a declaratory judgement in whatever district, as they
suggest, sounds great but it isn't free. It also means you have a
*100%* chance of being in a lawsuit against Lodsys. They will fight it
and countersue. Four companies have sought declaratory judgements, and
Lodsys has caved on none of them. Some are currently spending money
arguing over where Mark Small lives.

Negotiating a license right away as Mr. Mueller suggests isn't the
only option either. I talk to the Villain CEO who had wanted to band
together with other iOS developers. He's heard from a dozen other
people but they are waiting to see what LodSys does. In the meantime,
what are they doing? Nothing. They've let the 21 days expire.

LodSys has probably sent hundreds of letters and has actually started
a lawsuit against seven developers. If it wins this case, I expect
they will send followups (when may we expect payment?). If they
lose, and the patent is invalidated, we can probably just laugh it
off. I hope they lose.

Seeking reexamination, getting declaratory judgements, and finding
prior art are all good ideas, and should be done. I don't feel like I
need to start a new court fight in order to do them. If I have a
beautiful piece of prior art, I should probably send it to someone who
is already fighting.

Still, the best advice is to consult with a lawyer. But if that lawyer
advises me to fight and hasn't promised to work for free, then I would
seriously question their judgement and/or motives.

The link to my paid app *is* an advertisement. It is done through
AdWhirl as a house ad.
My letter from LodSys shows a screenshot of that in their infringement
chart.

So that is not different as far as LodSys is concerned. They think
they invented banner ads and hyperlinks.

The default sofkeyboard in Nexus one 2.3 does not hide if we touch
anywhere outside the keyboard. Actually, it hides with some apps but
not with all.

What might be the reason of this behaviour ? I have a custom keyboard
along the lines of LatinIME so my keyboard also behaves the same. What
can I do to have this feature ?

Gotcha - but do you agree that the following should work and return
the Extras bundle?

@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent){

Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
...


Like Mark said, the intent var that is passed to the onNewIntent each
time I start a new
intent on a particular activity should hold a ref to that new intent
and I should be able
to access the data from it. No?
