[android-developers] Change drawable for indeterminate progress bar
Hi all, i'm trying to change standard indeterminate progress bar from rotating wheel to sequence of 3 images ( dots ). What i have is a animation drawable defined as progress.xml : animation-list android:id=@+id/progress_animation android:oneshot=false xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; item android:drawable=@drawable/progress1 android:duration=200 / item android:drawable=@drawable/progress2 android:duration=200 / item android:drawable=@drawable/progress3 android:duration=200 / /animation-list and progressbar defined as : ProgressBar android:id=@+id/my_progress android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:indeterminate=true android:indeterminateOnly=true android:indeterminateDrawable=@drawable/progress android:visibility=invisible / In general it works - however image is repeated for as much i have space horizontally. I think it's side effect of same kind of stuff used in progress_indeterminate_horizontal.xml Is there anyway to get rid of that repeating behavior ? Alternative, as i understand would be change progressBar to ImageView with animation drawable inside. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Need advice on UI control/feature implementation
Hi All , i have a requirement to have a control that visually is similar to the expandable list. However on the expansion of the section it should show something similar to the grid view. GridView should properly respond to itemclicks and should not be scrollable and expanded fully till the next section of the list item. As we know it's not a good idea to mix scrollable controls on the same screen, so i'm looking for alternative way of building such thing. Any direction advice/ hints will be appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] weird issues with resources on Verizon Eris.
Hi all, i'll have more info tomorrow, once i'll have this device again, but i was shown very weird stuff today. We've updated app with hi-res graphics for the Droid ( only drawables ) around 4 days ago . Resources organized res drawable drawable-hdpi-v6 App was tested in working fine on devices droid, all tmo devices including cliq, all sprint devices with both 1.5 and 1.6 roms, and some unbranded European hero. With eris behavior is like this - if i download app from the market everything is fine. User reported he turned device off and then he turn it back on, app seems to lost some images. For example launch icon changed to the random image ( which was supplied with the app as well) background was simply lost etc. Uninstall/reinstall helps, but i think it's going to be till next reboot. i'm realize that somehow it's related to the way i put the drawables but not sure of what exactly is going on. I'll try to get reproduce that tomorrow in the office. If anybody have any idea what's going on on Eris build with res selection - i really appreciate any help / hints. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Unexpected Resumes Running Under 2.0
I have same issue cause by this line of code i onCreate(); iconView.setImageResource(R.drawable.mylogor); On Oct 29, 9:18 pm, Nmix nepean...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, I found it -- it's my bug. Mark, you were partly right, and that helped. It was related to the configuration. Here is the guilty code, which is in onCreate(): mRes = getResources(); mConfig = mRes.getConfiguration(); mConfig.setToDefaults(); //Error here. There should not be a call to setToDefaults(). I don't remember now what I was thinking at the time, and the Android doc is very uninformative for this method. Possibly I copied an example from somewhere. Removing this line solved the problem. Funny thing is that the bad code works fine pre-2.0 releases. However, once I found it I carefully scoured the logcat on a 1.6 AVD and I did find the same warning log spit out from the system process. Of course, since nothing was broken and there was no way to relate the log to my process, I had no idea. I know now because it breaks in 2.0 by forcing a restart of the activity that resembles a config change. I don't know if the 2.0 behavior is right or wrong since the write-up for setToDefaults() says very little. fadden: I did consider filing a bug, but that seemed premature when I wasn't able to localize the problem. I didn't want to simply point to the app on Android Market. Now the point is moot. Thanks. On Oct 29, 7:04 pm, Nmix nepean...@gmail.com wrote: Apart from a Log.d() that I just added to produce the logcat trace and the super call, there was just one line of code (an 'if' with a condition which isn't satisfied) which is pretty boring. Regardless, I commented that out. No change in behavior. Thanks for the suggestion, Mark, but I am beginning to think that something quite a bit more subtle is going on. Now I'm getting quite worried about when 2.0 shows up in OTA updates because it may/will break my app and I have no idea what to do. Up to 1.6 the app is solid as a rock.

This really has me puzzled. Any help appreciated. Something in your onResume() would appear to be triggering behavior reminiscent of a screen rotation or other configuration change.

A BroadcastReceiver registered in your manifest. That receiver then
starts up your service. You may already have one of these if your
service needs to start up at boot time.

Oh man.. that not going to fly .. I can't do it from the service,
because service runs like for a second to update the widget and
stopSelf(). So if i register something onStart() i'd have to
unregister that onDestroy(). Therefore to actually catch that event
while service is running becomes kind of tricky.

Nuts. Further research indicates that, at least as of last December, you
can only get SCREEN_OFF/SCREEN_ON from in-Java registered receivers:

Well.. i've tried to use alarm manager like: AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService (Context.ALARM_SERVICE); alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, nextUpdate, pendingIntent); thinking behind it was - if devices is not a sleep, i'll loop through my headlines in 30 sec interval.

One option is for you to watch for ACTION_SCREEN_ON and ACTION_SCREEN_OFF broadcast Intents in your service (or use some other method to see if the screen is not -- not sure if there's a simple API for that). When you know the screen is off, skip the work in the update. Another alternative is for you to specify an effectively infinitely long updateTimeMillis (2 billion milliseconds or so is over a year) and use AlarmManager yourself. You can push updates to the widget whenever you want -- updateTimeMillis is just a convenient means for doing so. In your own AlarmManager work, don't use one of the WAKEUP variants, and the alarm will fire when the phone next awakens if it ordinarily would have fired while the phone was asleep. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

If the device is asleep, how do you see updates?

[android-developers] Re: Widgets ( frequent updates )
Thanks for reply Dianne - my worry is that 30 sec interval for update
is not enough to let device fall asleep and my updates basically
prevent that. I've tried to disconnect device for an hour or so and
it's still updating according to the logs. Do you have any
recommendation of how i can update widget frequently when device is
awake and screen is on and don't update at all while it's sleeping ?
I'm using alarm manager now and the android:updatePeriodMillis=0 in
the appwidget-provider

[android-developers] Re: Widgets ( frequent updates )
Hm.. let's say i'm not going to schedule next update via alarm if screen is off. Service will shut itself down. Then screens is coming back what will listen to that broadcast ? My goal is eliminate service runs while i don't need to, not minimize amount of work service does during the run.

[android-developers] Bitmap memory leaks with onClick...
Hi All i have strange memory leak with Bitmaps. First what i have - an
activity that based on the workspace view from Launcher ( 3 screens
current prev + next ) . This layout is supplied with adapter , so then
i flipping left/right it loads next view.
The views that adapter is providing is an ImageView (picture) with
decodeBitmap + TextView(Caption). I also have on click listener that
is set on the views that toggles captions which calls this:
public void onToggleCaption() {
mAdapter.toggleCaption(); // sets boolean if is should display
caption
int currentScreen = mImageLayout.getCurrentScreen(); //
remembers
current screen number.
mImageLayout.removeAllViews(); // Removes all three children
mImageLayout.setCurrentScreen(currentScreen); // Set back
everything
back ( but now adapter will show or hide captions )
}
When i call this from the menu - everything is just fine. Heap stays
same +/- 1K. If i execute this code via onClick listener - i'm loosing
memory quite quickly and in about 20th iteration - VM out of budget.
adapter.public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup
parent) {
View newView = null;
byte[] mFullImage;
Enclosure enclosure = (Enclosure) getItem(position);
if (convertView != null)
newView = convertView;
else {
LayoutInflater layout = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
newView = layout.inflate(R.layout.image_layout, null);
}
//TODO - this can be optimized
ImageView iView = (ImageView) newView.findViewById(R.id.image);
TextView tView = (TextView) newView.findViewById(R.id.caption);
Bitmap image = null;
// mFullImage is a byte[]
mFullImage = enclosure.getImage();
if (mFullImage != null) {
try {
image =
BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(mFullImage, 0,
mFullImage.length);
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
Log.w(TAG, e);
}
}
if (image != null) {
iView.setImageBitmap(image);
String caption = enclosure.getContent();
if (!caption.equals() mShowCaption) {
tView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
tView.setText(caption);
} else {
tView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
newView.setClickable(true);
return newView;
}

[android-developers] Re: Error on SharedPreferences for AppWidget
I think it's an issue with exiting config activity before saving widget settings. Put some logging around create/delete widget and in the service and see how many widgets you're ended up getting while rotating screen Log.d(TAG, appWidgetId= + appWidgetId); You can put some logging around updates too.

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour (on a Dream) on its configuration Activity: 1) if I use software keyboard (that is: without opening physical keyboard) to edit text, everything works fine and preferences are stored. The happens if the application starts with keyboard already open. 2) if I open physical keyboard (and activity is being restarted and rendered in landscape), when saving preferences the widget does not appear on the desktop. Sometimes I get an error message (unable to unlink to the path of application's data).

[android-developers] Widgets ( frequent updates )
Hi All , i'm looking for the best strategy for the following -- widget suppose to go through cached headlines. And once a 3 hours or so - pull new ones. Update are scheduled from widget config file. Everything seems to be working, except I don't want to running my updates which are simply changing info on the screen while phone is sleeping. What's the best strategy to avoid that ? Desired behavior - phone is not sleeping - i'll run update which will change headline to next one and check if there is a time to pull new headlines. If phone is sleeping - i don't want to do any of that. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Widgets ( frequent updates )
Skip the work is not a really good option in my case. I have very little work to do, get next headline and push widget update. So it's probably will spend equal amount of time of starting and stopping service alarm manager , yes it's really good option and you don't need set very long time - setting it to 0 does the job. On Jun 22, 6:00 pm, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: Alexey Volovoy wrote: hm.. based on the logs from UpdateService onStart - it's still executing update after i've uchecked the setting. That's odd. That means they must be using a WAKEUP form of AlarmManager. I would have expected otherwise. One option is for you to watch for ACTION_SCREEN_ON and ACTION_SCREEN_OFF broadcast Intents in your service (or use some other method to see if the screen is not -- not sure if there's a simple API for that). When you know the screen is off, skip the work in the update. Another alternative is for you to specify an effectively infinitely long updateTimeMillis (2 billion milliseconds or so is over a year) and use AlarmManager yourself. You can push updates to the widget whenever you want -- updateTimeMillis is just a convenient means for doing so. In your own AlarmManager work, don't use one of the WAKEUP variants, and the alarm will fire when the phone next awakens if it ordinarily would have fired while the phone was asleep. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Move it out of actvity. Create public method init in the view. Get an

[android-developers] Re: 1.5 ListView disabled items
Romain, thanks for the explanation, the name enable/disable is definitely misleading. I used it for dynamic content ( ads :) ) if i had content i enabled the item if not disabled it. I'll make a change to make it on the view level. On May 15, 3:12 pm, Romain Guy romain...@google.com wrote: Disabled items are badly named. They are supposed to act as separators (for instance, that's who the group names are implemented in the Settings pages.) If you don't want the user to click the item, you should disable the view itself. If you look at the Settings page you'll see why not drawing the dividers make sense for separators.

[android-developers] Re: What uniquely identifies an application?
We currently don't have a good story for this especially since, as you found and said in your first post, the R class package depends on the project. One solution is to move android-agnostic code in a separate project building a jar library that you then package in your various android projects. It's not ideal though. Unfortunately this is not really a solution for me. Let me try again. I have the same android-dependent code with references to R.layout and all that stuff. So now i want to create two applications with intent to put them on the market. To do that i'll have to have different packages in manifest, which will lead to the fact that R.java will be generated in two different places. Which will make my references to R from my android code not resolving. So for two of them it's not a big deal - i'll add import to both packages and everything will be ok. But what if there 50 apps ? Crazy and not real example: Let say i've developed an app that shows me everything about NHL team (it's a playoff time after all ). Now i want to publish following apps com.mynhl.capitals com.mynhl.wings com.mynhl.penguins Android code is the same and i want to keep it the same . res folder is different for each team. Drawables and other properties ( for ex tracking ids, and settings specific to each team ) so to make all that compile to each file that has a reference to R. i'll have to add. import com.mynhl.capitals.* import com.mynhl.wings.* import com.mynhl.penguins.* And then by using ant get res-capitals as need resource folder. And yes, of course i've used android_rules.xml as a template and pasted in after setup import=false / Now i'm looking for better way of handling all that. I don't have any android-agnostic code .The ideal would be an ability specify your resource package separately from application package. For your post subject: what identifies an application is the package name that you provide in the AndroidManifest.xml. I'm very well aware of that . As for Ant, you shouldn't create the project manually. Instead use the android tool: That just doesn't make any sense. Why i can't create it manually again ? The ant project uses a sophisticated build.xml file and no offense but you are unlikely to figure it out magically -- looking at an existing one is the best way to understand it. Starting with SDK 1.5_r1, the build.xml actually doesn't contain much anymore. Most of the rules are in the sdk/platform/android-1.N/templates/android_rules.xml. We designed that new structure to make it easier for people to customize the part of their build yet let us update the platform specific rules in later sdk. I strongly suggest you create a skeleton ant project using the android create project command-line and look at what has been generated. Then feel free to modify it as you wish.

[android-developers] Re: What uniquely identifies an application?
Well android resources are in android.R package . always.
To pass a resource ID i need to know what it is. To find out what it
is - i need reference R. May be i didn't get what exactly you're
suggesting.
Here is simple example - i have app with package1. i want to use same
activity with package2-n apps. How i rewrite reference to R. so it can
universal ? Now as you can see i put two imports to packages where i
expect R will be generated by ant.
package com.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
// Imports to resolve R
import com.test.package1.*;
import com.test.package2.*;
public class Test extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button click = (Button) findViewById(R.id.click_btn);
}
}

Make your reusable code take resource IDs as parameters to their APIs.
Look at Android itself: it is reusable, yet it does not have the problems
you describe. Why? Because resource IDs are passed in as parameters (e.g.,
setImageResource() does not assume the resource; it takes the resource ID
as a parameter).

Option #1: Don't use layout resources. Instantiate your views using Java.
Option #2: Create reusable Views for your activities that take the
resource ID of their respective layouts as a parameter. Each view would
navigate its contents without resource IDs (e.g., iterate over children)
to find your widgets.
Option #3: Augment (or wrap) your Ant build scripts to make N copies of
your application from one master source, using text search-and-replace
(sed/awk if you're a true geek, Ruby if you're like me and don't grok
sed/awk) to replace necessary strings in the copies with revised ones for
that particular copy.
I'm sure there are any number of other possibilities.

[android-developers] Re: Custom android ANT tasks
It'll be nice to have this info here as well http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/upgrading.html#AntUsers On Apr 14, 2:29 pm, Xavier Ducrohet x...@android.com wrote: Hello, The new SDK include multiple versions of the Android platforms. Because newer versions could have slightly different build steps, we have decide to keep most of the build logic inside the platforms themselves. Thus, the new build.xml imports a file called android_rules.xml located inside SDK/platforms/platform/templates/ (it might move in the final SDK but you shouldn't care much). This file actually being imported is resolve in the first step of the build. The custom task setup / looks at the value loaded from default.properties which contains the target project (ie which platform/add-on the project is compiling for), and then import the proper rules file (after doing some properties init as well). If you want to change the rules to make them your own, I'd sugges to leave android_rules.xml unchanged, and instead copy the rules inside your build.xml file, *after* the setup / task. Additionally, change the setup task to setup import=false/. This will let the custom task do the properties init but not do the import. Some of the target in the rules files are slightly different than before, with some using custom tasks as well. This is due to a new feature to generate multiple APKs from a single project (with different resources). You can either ignore this and reuse some of the previous target/task, or modify the custom task to do what you want (we're pushing the source used to generate this SDK on the git server today) Xav On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 9:50 AM, Ward Willats goo...@wardco.com wrote: 'Round these parts we don't use Eclipse and heavily customize our build.xml file.
