Watch the memory size balloon fantastically too. That is an unfortunate but necessary side effect. Note that the system will pretty aggressively free up that memory whenever the user switches to another app. It balloons to such a degree that it should really be noted in the documentation for the attribute. I spent a couple of days trying to find the memory leak bug in my app that turned out to be this. The app has a constant service running and the process was taking up on the order of 70MB directly after leaving the UI instead of the usual 20MB (especially pronounced if the user viewed documentation in a webview while in the UI). Visiting other applications does help, but still left around 26MB over time. In other words, the attribute seems to be no-lose-why-not-turn-it-on, but actually needs a cost-benefit decision.

[android-developers] Android Multiline Textbox Inside Flash WebView - Cannot Insert Linebreak with Enter Key
I am facing a very strange bug with Flash rendering in Android. **The enter key in the soft keyboard does not insert a line-break into the focused textarea in Flash.** To reproduce: please visit this URL via your android browser: http://tinyurl.com/826nd6a The original URL: http://www.flashwonderland.com/control-components/textarea.html That page contains an example of a multi-line textarea in Flash. Try editing this textarea via Android and inserting a line break. Nothing happens when you press the return key in the soft keyboard. :- ( This is what I'm trying to solve. I have tried feeding KeyEvents to the WebView with different keyCodes, I tried 13 (ASCII line break), 66 (Android Enter key), nothing actually made a line-break appear in the code. When I tried other keyCodes (for example, a letter) the letter was appended to the textarea as expected. It seems as if the flash object blocks all line- breaks. I even tried feeding a line-break event via jQuery to the flash object, but couldn't get it to work. Does anyone know how to work around this bug? **Reproduction code:** public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); TestView = new WebView( this ); TestView.getSettings().setPluginsEnabled(true); TestView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); setContentView( TestView ); TestView.loadUrl( http://www.flashwonderland.com/control- components/textarea.html ); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Cannot get text to appear when created dynamically
I am trying to create an activity UI by setting buttons and text dynamically. Just to get started I have dynamically created a ScrollView that contains a LinearLayout which contains a TextView and two Buttons. Everything is created dynamically. There is no layout file for this activity. I can get the two buttons to appear on the android emulator, but the text will not appear. I can see the Scrollview in the debugger and it has three elements in side it, a TextView and two Buttons. Everything looks okay in the debugger. Can somebody give me an idea on how to get the text to appear? Here is the code that creates the dynamic TextView: public static TextView CreateTextView(Context context, int id, float size, int color, int gravity, int width, int height, String text) { TextView t = new TextView(context); t.setId(id); t.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP,size); t.setTextColor(color); t.setGravity(gravity); t.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width, height)); t.setText(text); return t; } Here is the onCreate code that appears inside of onCreate for the activity. This onCreate code is called to create the ScrollView, LinearLayout, the TextView and the two Buttons dynamically. Like I said above, the buttons appear, but the text does not. super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); final Resources res = getResources(); ScrollView s = DynamicLayout.CreateScrollView(this, 1, true, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT); LinearLayout q = DynamicLayout.CreateLinearLayout(this, 1, LinearLayout.VERTICAL, 0x11 /* CENTER=0x11, LEFT=3, RIGHT=5 */, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT); s.addView(q); TextView t = DynamicLayout.CreateTextView(this, 2, 30.0f, 0xff, 0x11 /* CENTER=0x11, LEFT=3, RIGHT=5 */, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, res.getString(R.string.EstablishmentName)); q.addView(t); Button b = DynamicLayout.CreateButton(this, 3, 0x11 /* CENTER=0x11, LEFT=3, RIGHT=5 */, 291, 43, res.getDrawable(R.drawable.spot_ticket_red)); q.addView(b); b = DynamicLayout.CreateButton(this, 4, 0x11 /* CENTER=0x11, LEFT=3, RIGHT=5 */, 291, 43, res.getDrawable(R.drawable.spot_ticket_green)); q.addView(b); setContentView(s); -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

His Xbox can connect through his iPhone wifi and a Razr, just not my ICS running Nexus. I'm copying this from the below link since I'm not getting a reply there: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=3efbd0895a5a4614hl=en I have a new Galaxy Nexus and the Verizon unlimited tethering plan. So far, I've been able to tether my laptop, Kindle, work lapotop, my sons Nintendo DS and even my old Blackberry. I can not tether my Xbox.

I am still unable to connect only the Xbox. I had a HTC Rezound for a couple weeks before switching to the Nexus and the Xbox connected just fine to that. I pulled out my old DSL router and powered it on and the Xbox connected to the router (but no internet because my DSL is off). That tells me there is no problem with the Xbox itself.

[android-developers] where/how to close database connection when using custom contact provider
hi, hope someone can help? as i understand it, database connections need to be closed when finished with the connection. when using a custom content provider, surely all the closing should be taken care of within the provider? for example, i have a simple content provider that i have created. if i now access the data from any application using the content provider, i don't have control over the opening and closing of the database. inserts, updates and deletes can take care of closing the database connection in the provider. queries can't as a cursor is returned to the calling application. once the cursor is finished with, it can be closed in the calling application but the database connection can't. how does one take care of closing the data connection in this case? i have searched all over for an answer to this but have not found a satisfactory answer yet. any help would be appreciated. thanks regards appyChappy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Can't update browser bookmarks
I have come across an awkward issue, and I would very much appreciate your help to find out what I am doing wrong. I have an app which among other things allows users to edit bookmarks in the Android Browser's bookmark store. It uses the ContentResolver.query, .insert, .delete, and .update methods, with the URI Browser.BOOKMARKS_URI. It all works well under Android 2, but on Androids 3 and 4 the .update command does not appear to work. I have tried everything I can think of, and just cannot make it work. To repeat this issue yourself in under one minute, create a new app with an Activity named BookmarkTestingActivity and paste in the source at the bottom of this post. Also add these two permissions to the Manifest: uses-permission android:name=com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS/ uses-permission android:name=com.android.browser.permission.WRITE_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS/ This source simply inserts a new bookmark with title Test and url http://test.com;, attempts to update the url to http:// updated.test.com, then Logs the url after that attempted change. In Android 2, the url correctly changes to http://updated.test.com; but in Androids 3 and 4 it remains at http://test.com;. The same thing happens when I try updating other fields or using different select variables etc. I'm testing with the latest SDK in Eclipse, on Android 2.3.3, Android 3.1, and Android 4.0.3.

[android-developers] Java Formatting on Eclipse
Is there a way to disable all code formatting for Java on Eclipse? I hate the way it mangles my code, and just want it to stop changing what I type.

[android-developers] android.view vs android.widget
Hi, In android.view.LayoutInflater, non-fully qualified classes are expanded to android.view.ClassName -- why not android.widget.ClassName for classes that are in the widget package? (Some context, if helpful: I'm working on a research project that involves making some changes to the UI toolkit, and now I'm getting errors like java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.view.LinearLayout for a number of widget class while booting. If I change LayoutInflator to expand names to android.widget.ClassName it works, but that seems like a change I shouldn't be making, so I've clearly broken something else I don't know about.) Thanks!

[android-developers] A needle in a haystack
I recently published my second app for android app store - a year after my first release which attracted about 4000 downloads (the app is free). My second app seem to be lost even before it is submitted - which is quite annoying when I think of all the nights and evenings I have spend developing it. Actually I think the app is good. All my friends who have Apple are very impressed with it and ask when it will come on their platform. However, on the Android platform the app drowns in all a maelstrom of apps. I experience a lot of wall paper apps in the game section and I also experience very large differences in quality. I reckon, that google has tried to encourage more shows by creating various lists - but to be hornest - I think it is the same stuff (and not always the best) which shows up on the lists. So how can a small time developer get some attention? My first app was launched when the store had a news list (not sorted on popularity). Although the app never was on top of the list for long, it was there for some hours - enough to gain the first momentum to get it going. Presently this list does not exists anymore - and my app only shows if the user seeks on specific key words - not for the casual user. My suggestion is therefore if it would be possible to reinstate the news list as it were - really showing new stuff in its cronological order - and maybe introduce random lists - showing random apps in the low end of download spectrum. This could ensure better dynamics. Furthermore I have noticed that some developers have got a certain approval mark. How is that obtained - and could I apply for such approval - maybe paying a fee and get to a verification proces. Anyways I feel like a needle in a haystack - I have a strong point - but is lost, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Eclipse Failed to initialize Monitor Thread.
Ok, I've been searching and searching a lot, I've seen people post the same problem on forums a lot, though non of the solutions that were suggested are working. I tried disabling my firewall/virusscanner and windows firewall too, I tried adb kill-server and adb start-server, nothing seems to help. The SDK directory is set up right in eclipse, I even deleted eclipse and reinstalled it (or unpacked as there is no installer). I even changed the hosts file in windows/system/drivers/etc to make sure 127.0.0.1 was localhost (it had been commented out) I tried running eclipse in admin mode, nothing helps I keep getting the following error when I start eclipse after the ADT has been installed: ddms] Failed to initialize Monitor Thread: Unable to establish loopback connection And when I try to run something I get this: test] -- test] Android Launch! test] Connection with adb was interrupted. test] 0 attempts have been made to reconnect. test] You may want to manually restart adb from the Devices view.

[android-developers] Proxy settings for ICS over ethernet
I am trying to set the browser proxy settings in Android ICS but am having no luck.

There is also someone saying you can set the proxy in one of the sqlite3 DBs, but again, no luck. The database is /data/data/ com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db and the row should read – 99, http_proxy, proxy:port.

[android-developers] Thread errors - AsyncTask Fatal Error
Hello, We are using threads in our app, to ask for an xml and some remote images which load on our activity's listview. This activity also uses Tabs, so when we click on the tab buttons the info on the listview is updated. However, in certain occasions we get a Fatal Error: Asynctask #1 (or 2, or 5, etc) This starts with a NullPointerException when trying to read the xml from the server. However, this xml is available (and correct) all the time, so not quite sure why it's doing this. Investigating we have found this must be a thread error, which happens when we are using various threads at the same time on the same activity. We believe we must have some control of this threads, to prevent the error from happening. For instance, when we order a new thread to load content on the list, it would be interesting to stop the previous thread executions to prevent collisions between them. We also have investigated ThreadSafeClientConnManager, which may be a good way to control conflicts between thread executions...but haven't managed to solve the problem. Can somebody throw some light into our problem...? How can we handle threads and prevent this asynctask errors?!

[android-developers] IMountService available on Honeycomb / Other way to force flush file-system-cache
Hey there, I'm developing an app for reading data from a USB attached device on honeycomb (3.2). The device reads data from an external infrared meter prepares data and shares them over mass storage. It means the USB device is mounted as mass storage device. As it updates and creates some files by itself the android file-system doesn't seem to recognize the changes. The only solution seems to mount/unmount the device over the settings menu. After remounting all data is updated as this is the most effective way to force android to refresh the file-system-cache. But this solution is not practical for daily use. So I looked for a solution to mount/unmount USB storage by code and found the MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEM permission, google led me to some information about IMountService but I'm unable to find any documentation about IMountService on honeycomb. Every implementation or use of this service seemed to be on Android 2.x and might need root. As I'm using a ASUS Transformer for developing I saw that ASUS provides a widget to unmount mass storage devices which is located next to the clock in the bottom right corner. What leads me to assume that there has to be an Interface to mount/unmount devices. ASUS doesn't support third party developers and doesn't want to give me some information about that issue. I had no success trying to implement the MountService with the documentations I found even on a rooted device. *All this led me to the assumption that IMountService is only available for OS developers (like Asus, Acer and so on) and not for SDK developers. Am I right with this?* Trying to find another way to force honeycomb to refresh the file-system-cache and re-read data from the device a colleague mentioned that creating a new file in the folder I try to read might force honeycomb to synchronize device data and cache data. Try and Error again and again no success I can see the created file appearing in different file explorers and disappearing when deleted but all other files doesn't seem to be updated. Another thing might be that all data produced by the USB device have a time-stamp from 2004 or 2005 so honeycomb might be intelligent enough not to update these files as they have no current timestamp. Trying to use Runtime.exec() to run a touch command and update the time-stamp led to errors on unrooted tablet and had no effect with a rooted tablet. Now the question is: *Is there any documentation how to access the MountService or equivalent on honeycomb as an SDK developer?* The developers doesn't seem to provide permissions that can not be used by any API call and the referencehttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMSclearly says that this permission is used to mount / unmount file-systems. *Or is there any other way to force honeycomb flushing the file-system-cache and reload all files?* Maybe there's an option in ICS (4.0) as this version is completely open source and honeycombs source code was only provided to the vendors.

[android-developers] Problems of compatibility to hardware
I have been developing apps for android in about 1 year and is becoming increasingly sceptical on the hardware compatibility issue on the Android platform - that is, how smoothly android apps are run on various android devices. I do not have a lot of money to buy this and that device - but have an HTC Desire HD phone and an Acer Iconia 500 tablet, which I use for testing. Nonetheless, I experience that my apps does not run correctly on various devices. As an example, a US customers informed me that big white blobs showed up on the main screen of my Asteroid Challenge game (uses OPENGL and non-compressed transparent textures). Although the game runs correctly and shows the opening menu on my HTC and Iconia devices. I must say that although I fancy the thought of being compliant to a varied universe of devices and that the manifest setup seem to be a great way to overcome the difficulties on compatability - I still feel that Android may risk loosing ground to Apple (and Windows 8) if Google does not put more effort into ensuring that apps are running as intended and various devices - given that the developer have complied to the design standard and stated the manifest correctly. Does anyone have a thought on this issue, An Android Fan and dedicated developer, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] KSOAP2 Library…Error sending data to asmx webservice
I have an ASMX webservice setup on Microsoft Azure and I'm trying to send data to the webservice and receive output using an android application. For this purpose, I am using the KSOAP library. On the webservice, I'm checking if the strings are null. If they are, I return an error code 2405 [WebMethod] public string LoginUser(string auth_token, string username) { // All these tests performed, so someone from outside of out application // scope does not attempt to abuse our webservice. #region Check for nulls if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(auth_token)) return 2405; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(username)) return 2405; #endregion } In my android application, I am sending the data, but the webservice still returns the 2405 error code, which means that the data is not sent. The following is my android code: SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, method_name); request.addProperty(auth_token,TestAuth); request.addProperty(username,TestUser); SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope( SoapEnvelope.VER11); envelope.dotNet = true; envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request); HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL); androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope); Sorry that I can provide you with the namespace, methodname, url, etc. It is against the company policy and I hope you understand. :) Nevertheless, I'll go over the error again. After calling the above Android code, the webservice returns 2405, which according to the ASMX code is when any of the twos values are null. I debugged the SOAP request (androidHttpTransport.debug = true) and got the following results for the requestDump and responseDump.

[android-developers] Re: Hardware accleration slow down every Canvas app. Why?
There is some failure in the android hardware implementation, this is sure. It is not possible that a 1.2GHz dual core processor with 1GB of RAM and a SGX540 isn't able to run a simple and light software like mine in a smoothly way. I run that code on feature phones with less than 200MHz with a heap of 1MB smoothly, something is wrong in the android hardware implementation. I hope that someone will recognize this problem and will fix it soon. No other platform has this problem, and my canvas code is pretty similar on every platform.

My guess is that it's not the device or hardware acceleration that's slow, it's a case of devs writing code that's slow (maybe due to a lot of stuff going on in the background, inefficient code, etc., or, as suggested, broken hardware).

Re: [android-developers] No Video but audio present when using MediaPlayer on the emulator
You are trying to use the emulator to play back video. This is unlikely to be successful due to the speed of the emulator.

The most disappointing thing is this problem is that google don't want to admit that they have problem in their implementation, this will probably means that we will not see any fix soon. As I repeat the same canvas runs great on feature phones with 180MHz CPU and 1MB of heap, runs great of low end blackberrys and badas phone.

[android-developers] Accessing EVERY single individual video frame from a video file
Hi *, I want to read a video file, retrieve every frame ( as a bitmap to do some processing on each frame like scaling, warping etc. ) and display them on a canvas. I tried using getFrameAtTime() function provided by MediaMetadataRetriever. But it does NOT return every frame to me. It looks like it's returning back only the keyframes from the loaded video file(3gp). This limited capability may be good for displaying thumbnails of a video, but not for a smooth playback after modification of individual frames. Can anyone suggest me a good 3rd party library to access individual frames of a video file? Or perhaps another android API which can do the job.
