[android-developers] Proper way to setup app to notify user(if opt in) when new items are added to database
So working on a app that will list inventory items for a few users.. IF the user opts to be notified, what is the proper way to implement such notifications? The app works via a webservice that allows the entry of items and also returns full list to the user when they select to view. What would that be considered so i can google the appropriate technique. thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Android: Google drive integration, what is “com.google.android.gms.version”?
My application integrates with Google Drive using the old api, it does not include Google's library project (instead it includes a bunch of jars like 'google-api-client-1.12.0-beta.jar', 'google-api-services-drive-v2-rev59-1.12.0-beta.jar', etc...). This causes an issue because this line in my manifest file: meta-data android:name=com.google.android.gms.version android:value=@integer/google_play_services_version / Now gives the following error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version'). If I just copy the version.xml file from the library project into my project, the error goes away. The file's contents are: integer name=google_play_services_version6587000/integer But now I'm wondering, what is the com.google.android.gms.version attribute anyway? Is it the version number of the google play services on the device? Copying the file into my workspace seems the same as just hardcoding the attribute to '6587000'. If so, will this cause issues going forward if devices update their google play services? Will it cause issues on devices that currently have an old version of the services installed? (And in all these cases, how would importing this resource value from the library project be any better, as that just seems like a hardcoded value as well?) Any general insight into the safety of this workaround? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Android: Google drive integration, what is “com.google.android.gms.version”?
For what it's worth -- I've got 6111000 in my app right now (6.1.something) and the newest version is 7.0.something, works fine. There's got to be some backwards compatibility, but maybe it doesn't go quite as far as 6 - 4 (your 4030500) and the app-side library itself checks the installed Play Services version, since it has to interact with it... FWIW, again, I use app-side library version 6111000, so my version resource matches the library's code. -- K 2015-04-06 16:58 GMT+03:00 Ab abe.oppenh...@gmail.com: If I hardcode it to some previous version number, such as 4030500, my app crashes with stack traces saying that version 658700 was expected. I'm wondering if my solution, importing the version.xml file, will prevent or result in crashes on devices with older versions and/or devices with newer versions?

Re: [android-developers] Which layout(s) can help me ?
*Sounds like a LinearLayout with vertical orientation. The first item (top image) would have a layout_weight of 0.25 and layout_gravity of center_horizontal, the second (button) a weight of 0.75 and have layout_gravity = center.* I'm not sure he wants that top image to always take up 25% of the vertical space. It sounds to me like he wants the image to take up whatever space it is supposed to and then have the button centered on the screen with whatever is left. The above solution would also cause the button's height to take up the entire remaining space on the screen, which I don't think was the OP's intent. I would suggest not using layout weights and wrapping the button in a layout (perhaps a frame layout since the button is supposed the only thing going in there. Something like this should work: LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=match_parent android:layout_height=match_parent android:orientation=vertical ImageView android:src=@drawable/your_image_source_goes_here android:layout_width=match_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content / FrameLayout android:layout_width=match_parent android:layout_height=match_parent Button android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=My Button android:layout_gravity=center/ /FrameLayout /LinearLayout On Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 9:03 AM TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 6:55 AM, NewToAndroid rahulra...@gmail.com wrote: How / which layout or layouts should I use here ??
