[android-developers] ShareActionProvider: How to overwrite sharing behaviour?
Hello, I can add a OnShareTargetSelectedListener to the ShareActionProvider to get notified if a share target is selected (boolean onShareTargetSelected (ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent)). public abstract boolean onShareTargetSelected (ShareActionProvider source, Intent intent) Called when a share target has been selected. The client can decide whether to perform some action before the sharing is actually performed. Note: Modifying the intent is not permitted and any changes to the latter will be ignored. Note: You should not handle the intent here. This callback aims to notify the client that a sharing is being performed, so the client can update the UI if necessary. Parameters source The source of the notification. intent The intent for launching the chosen share target. Returns The return result is ignored. Always return false for consistency. What I not understand: How to overwrite the sharing behaviour? I think the method has to return true if the intent is handled and should not be delivered to clients. But the method returns always false :-( Ralph -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Modifying an String of Android Resource File (*.arsc)
please find below link for understanding the entire structure binary xml
ans .arsc
http://justanapplication.wordpress.com/android-internals/
My question is don't we have to move the bytes when we replace the string
with bigger one, apart from changing the values you mentioned below
On Tuesday, June 21, 2011 8:09:12 PM UTC-7, Illyoung Choi wrote:
Hi All.
Last day, I made a simple application for parsing an Android Resource
File (*.arsc) and modifying resource strings.
I think this thing might be a help for someone, so I'll share the
structure of *.arsc that I understood.
Since I could not spend many hours for this, my understanding is not
perfect and might be slightly wrong.
I patched string resource from *.apk.
Simply extracted *.apk with 7zip and got the resources.arsc file.
Below are the structure of *.arsc
struct ANDROID_RESOURCE_HEADER
{
int signature; // 0x000c0002, I assume this is a signature
int nImageLength; // total ARSC file size (bytes)
int nUnknown1[2]; // still unknown (not important for modifying
strings)
int nStringBlockLength; // total StringBlock(see below) size
int nStringCount; // total number of String Resources
int nUnknown2[4]; // still unknown (not important for modifying
strings)
}
struct ANDROID_RESOURCE_HEADER is a header of ARSC file image.
So simply you can read this header information from file.
After this header, you will meet the StringBlock
StringBlock has 2Sections
{
[String Offset]
[String Data]
}
String Offset Section has Offset Values of Specific Strings from
StringBlock Start Address.
String Data Section has 2 Part
String Data
{
[Length]
[String]
}
Length part is 2byte. but, in AscII Mode, uses only 1byte.
Before reading String, you must check whether it is Unicode or
AscII format.
in Unicode format, Length part will be used with 2bytes.
normally it is 0x??, 0x00 (only if it is not longer than 256 bytes)
in AscII format, Length part will be used with 1bytes. but, they also
used second byte for mirroring.
if string length has a value 7, you will meet 0x07, 0x07
So, I checked whether both bytes have same value to check string
format.
Lastly, actual string data will be after this length part with Zero
Terminal
in Unicode format, surely, Zero Terminal will be 2 byte of zero.
Whenever you change the string of this ARSC file, you should
recalculate these.
Length Part of String Data
String Offset of StringBlock
nImageLength of Header
nStringBlockLength of Header
After doing these all.
Simply, remove all JAR Signature (META-INF folder) from package.
Re-Archive with Zip and rename with *.apk.
Resign with your certificate by using jarsigner of JDK
Thanks.

[android-developers] Camera preview freezes when I press HOME button
It would be easy to repeat the problem when I use an old device, which
takes 1-2 secs to finish taking a picture.
So when I press HOME button, while the device is taking picture, often
times it freezes at the preview picture.
I have added camera stopPreview and release in onPause(), which will be
called when HOME button is pressed.
From the LogCat, I find that the camera hardware is still processing some
information, but Activity Manager kicks in, saying something about HOME
activity.
So I think HOME forces some camera procedure finished in a bad way, which
makes the camera preview freezes, and the camera cannot be opened any more
(e.g. when I try to open the default camera, it says it cannot access to
camera)
However, if I use the default camera of the old slow device :), I cannot
repeat the crash. So it seems the default camera application might handle
it well; it might access native libraries to handle the situation, or
something else.
If I use Nexus 4 device, it is very hard to repeat this experiment.
A less powerful device is needed to repeat the experiment.
[UPDATE]
I put the Logcat at the end of the post (it is long). Here is a brief
review.
After click the capture button,
07-25 14:20:08.517: I/Camera Preview(1517): For Debug: begin
mCamera.takePicture
Then I press the HOME button, the log below shows that
android.intent.action.MAIN kicks in.

act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME]

mCamera.takePicture
07-25 14:20:09.337: I/CameraActivity(1517): For Debug: in onPause();
Regarding how to process in onPause, which will be callsed by HOME button,
I tried two options.
One option is that onPause releases the camera.
Another option is,
I put Thread.sleep(1500) to let my activity has enough time to finish
something.
But with either option, the camear crashes, and cannot be launched any more.

[android-developers] Dealing with 1000's of different devices, each one with its own bugs
.I am wondering how developers here are dealing with the fact that there are 1000's of devices out there, some of them running your applications in very broken ways .I keep running into these kind of issues again and again for the past 3 years, and to be honest, I'm fed up with it .I've decided to move to iOS development, and the only way to convince me otherwise is to give me a decent, reliable way of dealing with fragmentation So what do you do when you develop a game, for example, and try to create a high-quality user experience on Google Play? Do you do your QA on 50 different devices? 100? 1000? Or do you just shoot blindly and hope that it works, or wait for users to send you bug reports? To make it clear, I'm not talking about official fragmentation. I don't talk about different screen sizes, densities, features, OS versions and so on. I talk about the unofficial fragmentation. The fact that most devices, even the popular ones from the big companies like Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG and so on, contain tons of implementation bugs that prevent apps from working correctly. I'm talking about the fact that you can call a certain simple API, test it on a stock Android ROM (like on Nexus 4), and then have your application crash on some Samsung, that decided to break the implementation because of some customization. How can people stand that? How is it possible to write code, when the machine that executes it is completely broken in unexpected ways? I'm really fed up with it. About 50% of my Android development time is wasted on babysitting broken devices. I'm waiting for an official Google response about this, and what have you been doing in all those years to fix that.

Re: [android-developers] Dealing with 1000's of different devices, each one with its own bugs
I've found that even the biggest app developers like Skype, Gameloft, etc. have device issues, and they don't look in such a good shape. Just scan the reviews of any super-popular Android app, and you can see the same disease... This app doesn't even work, it sucks, and I PAID FOR IT! (from some crappy device). Obviously, those bigger developers have the budget and capacity to own 100's or Android devices and run a big QA department. What is an independent developer, or even a small startup supposed to do? The solution that me and my partners decided on is to aggressively filter down any device that gives us bad ratings in Google Play (from the developer console).

Re: [android-developers] Dealing with 1000's of different devices, each one with its own bugs
There are potential solutions, but in practice it's a constant battle. Certainly there are people that provide internet based test services that test your app on huge numbers of devices for a subscription based fee.

Re: [android-developers] Dealing with 1000's of different devices, each one with its own bugs
Yes, I've encountered those services. This is still not a solution. It requires substantial money investment, and in a lot of cases it doesn't give you the ability to debug on those devices. Personal example - I'm developing a game, and we've found (after a friend checked it) that it has major display artifacts on Samsung Galaxy S4. No logs or attempts to remotely resolve the issue helped - so we had to get our hands on the device for a day. It turned out that the device's GPU is buggy, and miscalculates some common shader operations (like matrix multiplication). There's no remote testing platform in the world that can assist you in resolving issues like that. The issue is at the core, and must be solved at a design and attitude level - devices like that SHOULD NOT be allowed to run Google Play apps (and of course, they should be deprived of their certification), until the vendor fixes those issues.

[android-developers] Android HAL version
Hi, I look into Android graphic document recently. I noticed that in the official website, it mentions the following... Jellybean MR1 introduces a new version of the HAL. We recommend that you start using version 1.1 of the hardware composer HAL as it will provide support for the newest features (explicit synchronization, external displays, etc). However, i have not found any clue/file to check the version of the HAL of my Android. Can anyone tell me how to check it? Many Thanks in advance. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Dealing with 1000's of different devices, each one with its own bugs
Your last paragraph is *exactly* what the CTS is all about, but obviously if you don't work for google you can't mandate what goes in and what does not :-). I'm not recommending that these services are the solution to everyone's problems: but I do contend they get you farther than you would be otherwise. Games are particularly hard to test, since GPUs vary more widely across devices and aren't part of the most common pieces of the SDK. The fact of the matter is, there are always going to be hacked up ROMs running on the market: that's the design decision made by Android. The CTS helps get you farther to a holistic / cohesive platform, but in the end it's a numbers game: knowing which devices, API levels, user bases, countries, etc.. to care about is something the experienced developer has to have a handle on.

Re: [android-developers] Dealing with 1000's of different devices, each one with its own bugs
I agree that it's better than nothing. But, since it's a paid service that has nothing to do with the official SDK, it doesn't come in the SDK's favor at all. The problem appears in much more obvious parts of the SDK than the one I presented. I can give countless examples on demand and I'm sure others can too. Also, I never even bothered to fix custom ROMs and such - this is really beyond my scope. I'm having constant issues with stock, popular devices from Samsung, HTC, etc. - the ones that get shipped in the millions and dominate the Google Play statistics. As you said, statistics are also a temporary solution to the issue - just focus on workarounds for the most popular buggy devices - mainly the Samsung Galaxy series and its endless variations.
