[android-developers] NFC Concerns

[android-developers] TTS User controlled
So I would say I am pretty much the office guru when it comes to TTS in Android Applications, I can enable, install and make it say pretty much whatever I want at this point. Someone in my office had the gale to ask me if I could make it stop talking as a setting and I said sure. Well This is where I am stuck. I know there is stop feature but that would mean putting stops all over my source code. And then I thought well I could make a conditional variable in the settings to my application. But that to would require several checkpoints all through out the source code. So I was looking around in the API trying to find a quick fix and can't seem to find any indicator other than that I will need lots of check points in the code. Does anyone know of a Global way to enable or disable TTS based on a user input. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Dianne Thank you for your time in clearing up this matter. I now have clear understanding. Again thank you. On Jan 11, 1:11 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Your phrasing is confusing. The CDD *requires* that for a device to ship with Market it *must* have full ADB support. This is what you use to develop applications on a device: install them, debug them, and everything else involved with development. Being able to install non-Market apps as a *user* (not a *developer*) through the UI is a completely different issue, not covered by the CDD, and not impacting a developer who is developing apps on their device. You as a developer are perfectly capable of installing your own apps on any device that has Market. You will not be able to put those apps up on a web site for users to download outside of Market. Also developer phone != out of contract. In fact, developer phone is a bad term to use. Every Android phone with Market is a third party developer phone. There are a few phones that allow reflashing of their system images, which is intended for developers of the platform itself to be able to replace the entire firmware with their own build. Also these phones aren't only available out of contract; it is a decision that the manufacturer makes that is independent of how they sell it. (Google being the only one I believe doing this with the Nexus phones, and both models so far have been available with or without contract, because they are intended to be great for end users as much as being a tool for platform developers.)

[android-developers] Amazon to Policy Android Market Place
The almighty Amazon.com feels that is should police the Android Market for proper applications. On one hand I think this could be a good idea but on the other hand this feels took much like an Apple iOS development clone. With Amazon developing its own market place and limiting which apps can appear there you are guaranteed a visible market for your application. People who pursue amazon will know that your app may meet some sort of standard and may consider buying it. But just as good as that is, if Amazon is backed up with testing your application and like apple takes two weeks to reject your application based on some sort of merit what is to stop me from just uploading my application directly to the market place. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. As someone who develops on both sides of the spectrum I don't see the implement of this Amazon App Market place as a good idea. I am curious as to other developers take on this and how many plan to actually develop to meet the amazon market guidelines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Also note that connecting directly to the database means that the database is exposed on the net in general and will present security problems.

I am working on replacing JSON and direct connection to database. I know using direct connection to database is extremely costly in android since I need to call on much the java library to so. And the only replace for such costly processing would be to put the burden onto something else like a online website handling incoming data and sending outgoing results. I already have a though on how to implement this. But as for a replace of the JSON Objects I am not sure what options are available to me. Is there any thoughts on a substitution for JSON? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Android TTS for Chinese
David, You dont need to wait for Android to support it per say. Depending on the engine used, you can have it speak in chinese. I am not sure if there is a chinese engine out there already but you could make it a requirement for your app like how the android tts engine checks for itself before the app starts. Then send the user to the market place to download the engine thus enabling the speaking component of your application.

[android-developers] Proposal to Market Place
As a developer I find it difficult to understanding ratings sometime. 1 to 5 is a good scale. But here is the problem with scale you can have people give you a five for the sake of giving you a five or a person give you one just because they want to be jerks. I would like to propose a change to the market rating system where a rate of 1 or 5 must include comments. If I am receiving a one due to technical problems or display problems I would want to know and not search my code for hours trying to find what may be the reason for the one rate. Also with the 5 I would like to know what is working so very good on my app that I could continue to use it in future developments. This way as we develop more apps we can get a better sense as what the rating really mean and the ppl who are rating the apps really think about them. 1 and 5 the extremes should require feedback as the 2 to 4 are mostly middle ground and could be left alone for the average jerk to rate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Free version to Paid version
pretty much thats the general method being used. One thing to consider is unpublishing the app and releasing a paid version in its place. But users may find that kinda a slap in the face. I would say do as your doing, add features to the app and call it app Plus and charge money for it. Remember though those feature need to be worth the price you apply to the app though. What you can do is remove features in an update to your free app and keep them in your paid version.

[android-developers] Re: Android onClick seems to be blocking onFling
I think that onClick() is an Override event. I am not to familiar with
your onFling but if its a user created class it will most likely
remain dormant due to the the digitizer recognizing the onClick and
not registering your onFling.

I have an Activity that implements a Gesture Detector to catch the

area (in a LinearLayout) I have on my screen. The resultsClick method
is wired to the TextView using its onClick property in the XML layout.

[android-developers] Background error reporting on HttpPost
I am running a background service were data is posted to an online site that process the information to post to online database. The problem i am encountering is that with the data being posted if there is an error there is not immediate way for me to know. i am considering several options. First is having a handler on the website to send me and email that there was error parsing the data. But the problem here is that this has its own restriction with getting and receiving data. Also if the site is down there would be no immediate verifier for me. The idea would be that there is an critical fail post to the phone. I execute the connection and there is no problem and the data is passed to my parameter holder it then send the data to site. Data is processed and even though there is an error on the side of the side there is nothing to tell me so on the phone. I necessarily dont need the user to know that it failed but I need something phone side to tell me there is a problem.

[android-developers] Re-using the Android Call Log / Contacts and sms capabilities.
Hello developers/community. I am making an internet telephony application based on a proprietary protocol which connects to a web server for call setup. As with other telephony applications this app also has three basic requirements: The need for a call log, a contact book and the ability to send/receive messages. One option is for me to develop all these three capabilities from the scratch. Another possibility is to leverage upon the built-in capabilities of android and tie them up to my application using content resolvers and Intents. Let me explain my requirements below, and I welcome your comments regarding their technical feasibility: *A)) Call Log: * I would like to maintain the call log of my application with the android call log. This will make sure that the user has one view of all the calls that were made (cellular or internet). Is there a way to read/write/delete from the call log application from android? I believe this can be done using content resolvers. From the call log, if the user wishes to call back a customer (internet customer in my case) , then I wish to provide the user with an Intent Chooser. If the user selects by application, then the call will be made from my application and not a cellular call. How do I achieve this behavior ? If I listen to the ACTION_CALL intent, will my application be available in the intent chooser ? Or will android try to initiate a cellular call by default? *B)) Contact Book:* * * The customers can save the internet user's address in the contact book. There is an entry of a CUSTOM_PROTOCOL in the contact book of android. That is where the address of the user can be stored who is using my application. We already have choices of Yahoo, Gtalk and Skype in the contact book. Similarly, we can also have a custom protocol entry over there. But this is only half the issue. When the user selects the address of the custom protocol from the contact book, I wish to display a pop-up listing my application (maybe I can listen to the intent which is emitted). Now, if the user selects my application from the pop-up, I will make a call over the internet instead of the cellular world (my broadcast receiver will gain control). Again, I am not sure whether the above is possible and android will display the intent chooser from the contact book if my custom protocol field is selected. *C)) SMS capabilities:* When the user composes a SMS and tries to send it, I wish to intercept the outgoing SMS and provide the user a choice - to send the SMS using my application,or from android's native capabilities (GSM-SMS). I believe it is possible to listen to outgoing messages by registering a content observer on the SMS content resolver URI. However, I would like to know whether an INTENT is fired when the user tries to send a message ? It would make life much easier. Secondly, I want to re-use the android SMS storage for the messages received from my custom protocol over the internet. I wish to write to the android sms database (using its content resolver) for this.

Re: [android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError: how best to transfer large video files into a byte array?
Select a fixed buffer size first.
Then start writing the byte array to a file. Once the file size reaches the
buffer size configured, copy that file to a temporary location (a temp
file). Then transfer this temp file to the web server. Once transferred
successfully, make sure to delete this temp file (by calling deleteOnExit()
) when the file was created.
To make this work properly, there have to be 2 threads at work - the thread
that is writing the byte array to a file and the thread that is doing the
heavy duty stuff in the background - copy to the temp file location and
finally upload it to a server etc. This heavy duty thread waits on a
condition (waits for the file to reach the buffer size configured to start
the transfer).
I hope this makes sense...just sharing my thoughts aloud.

Indodroid.

myfile.gif);
FilePart vFile = new FilePart(fileupload, temp_file);
As I say, this works for files of 50MB. The only reason I can't use it is
that I can't construct a File object from an Android content Uri. I have to
use an Android content Uri because that's what the video intent returns.
Ah. If I could transform my content Uri into FileInputStream (will have to
experiment) then I could use your method.
I can convert a content Uri to an InputStream already, so it'll just be
getting from an InputStream to a FileInputStream that might be the
challenge. I'll experiment.

This is because, the DNS server is part of a private infrastructure and I need the application to resolve domain names from this particular DNS server only. For WiFi access, I have found ways to do this (both from the WiFi Settings) and also programatically by using android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS in my application and then using the System.Settings.WIFI_STATIC_DNS1 and System.Settings.WIFI_STATIC_DNS2 APIs. However, for 3G I have not found any such settings or APIs. How do we configure DNS servers for 3G access?

The (nearly) is because firewalls can intervene. I would urge you to avoid any sort of temporary change to the global DNS resolution. It's one thing if you have control over the device and pre-configure it for the users. But temporary changes to DNS configuration has a way of going bad when events happen in other than the expected order.

Still -- and I don't know the 3GPP protocols here, but if they're not deviating too much from how things were designed, any old DNS server should be able to supply you with the information. The DNS server you contact will, based on the domain requested, contact the appropriate DNS server and obtain the information, cache it, and relay it to the requester. Perhaps this is not suitable for this for some reason, but if so, realize the reason it's hard is because 3GPP is doing it wrong -- that is, using tools in ways they weren't intended. Maybe it's all worthwhile; I don't know, I'm just trying to give you helpful context and info, not technical judgments.

This DNS server is under the control of the VoIP service provider and provides the IP address of the VoIP server. Devices are pre-configured with the domain name of their home network ( atlanta.com for example). They need to find the IP address of the server on that domain by firing a DNS query. The DNS server's IP address is also a configurable parameter in all soft clients. My question was regarding this use case. This procedure is standardized as the DNS/DHCP procedure of discovering the outbound proxy server by the mobile client. With this background, if I need to query a DNS server installed on a given IP address on the network, is it technically feasible ? Or will the operating system automatically resolve the next hop based on the resolv.conf file (if it is configured there) if i try and send a request to atlanta.com?

It's not that you have to run a thread on the UI.. you run a Runnable. The Runnable just defines run() method..

The reason you need to do this is that in a separate thread, and code you use that expects to use the UI in some way, will not be able to access the UI from a different thread. There is quite a bit of code that uses something like Thread.getContextLoader() and if that call is made while in a separate thread, it will fail if it's expecting to do some UI stuff.

[android-developers] Understand Device deep sleep behavior and its affect on the application.
Hello, When the device goes to sleep, any activity that was in the foreground is paused. It is like someone has launched a black screen activity on top. Is this understanding correct ? I have some doubts on device sleep impact during the following scenarios: 1. If my device goes to sleep just when some AsyncTask was executing, what will happen ? Will the task execution stop and wait till the device turns back on ? Or will execution go on as usual ? Same question for Android Handlers. As per my understanding, when there is no Wake Lock, then the CPU will stop..and so will all scheduling services that use it. 2. The same question, if i have spawned a custom worker thread which was active..and the device slept. What will be the status of my worker thread ? 3. If the application had bound itself to a network interface (suppose an IP address obtained due to a WiFi connection)..and the device goes to sleep. Will this connection be lost if I do not take a WiFiLock ? 4. Affect of sleep behavior on an android service that is currently doing some work (downloading something or playing music) ? 5. Is it possible to test the deep sleep behavior using the Emulator to do some sanity testing for my application ? I could not find a way to do so. 6. In some of the use cases that i have, the screen can be turned off...however i want the CPU running for sometime after the screen is dark. For such scenarios, is the PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCKhttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html#PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK the best approach for me?

[android-developers] Using the AlarmManager as a timing service.
Hello, I wanted to ask a question regarding the Alarm Manager. I have a requirements of setting long running timers in my application. The minimum duration for my timer is 1 hour...and the maximum may be for 4-5 days. This timer is supposed to run in the background, and when it fires/expires, i have to show something on the GUI. The timer can be re-scheduled once it fires based on user action. What is the best approach for scheduling such long running timers ? Should i make use of the Alarm Manager ? Or will it be an overkill ? As far as i know, alarms are retained even if the device goes to sleep and they wake up the device when the alarm goes off. I am thinking of using a simple Java TimerTask as an alternative to setting an alarm: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/TimerTask.html. But i am not sure what will happen to the timer task if the device went to sleep while the task was running. What is the best approach here ?

Re: [android-developers] Using the AlarmManager as a timing service.
Yes Mark. The GUI wont be running when the alarm goes off. On receipt of the alarm, i want to start an activity. So, i think i will need to use alarm manager as the choice, as i want the device to wake up when the alarm goes off. On 1/19/10, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: Interesting Mark... is there no way to have something wake/start an app up when a condition occurs? Define condition. The OP was inquiring about time, which I would not call a condition. I was reading the blog on Screebl, it seemed like with the Location support they can activate based on the location or other conditions of the device. I wasn't under the impression that app was running all the time.. or that it might be a service running in the background? I do not know off the top of my head if and when GPS position changes will wake up the device. On a slightly different note, if you do run a service all the time, that basically either waits for a timer, or waits for some condition, such as a GPS location, does that drain battery much? The key to battery life is that you want the phone in sleep mode. Hence, depending on how the service is waiting, it may need to force the device to stay awake, which is awful for battery life. If you are interested in this subject, you really should watch Jeff Sharkey's Coding for Life...Battery Life, That Is presentation from the 2009 Google I/O conference. There's a YouTube video of it out there. I've not looked into the Location api, but it sounded like Location would send out a message that a service could listen for.. as if you could say when the location of this device is 'around' this location.. call me. Something like that? That certainly exists, but I have not experimented with it recently, let alone with the device in sleep mode.

Re: [android-developers] Activity and Interface
For passing stuff from Activity-A to Activity-B, use a bundle and pass it in
the intent while starting the target activity.
Intent intent = new Intent(ActivityA.class, ActivityB.class);
intent.putExtra(name, myName);
intent.putExtra(age, 24);
startActivity(intent);
From the target activity, retrieve the bundle and access the passed data.
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
//get your stuff from the bundle.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android and VOIP
The biggest problem for supporting SIP based VoIP on android is the capability of the android media framework. As for example, if you refer to this table: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html..most of the media encoders are not present. There is no use for having only a decoder for codecs, as in a SIP based VoIP session, you will need both the encoder and the decoder for bidirectional SENDRECV streaming of media. Most SIP clients use SDP as a means of codec negotiation. Going by that table, we can only use AMR-NB for voice and H.263 for video in the SDP offer for a SIP based session. As a workaround, sipdroid uses its own G.711 and H.264 codec by making use of a native library and JNI calls. For SIP/VoIP, playing from a static resource on the device is hardly a requirement. On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 9:03 AM, JP joachim.pfeif...@gmail.com wrote: I've played with sipdroid a few months back.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Regarding Audio and Video send/receive on Android.
Should the possibility of handling real-time audio and video streams by the application be a part of the roadmap for Android? This feature can be incorporated as an extension to the existing Media framework. Why I request for this feature, because this is the most basic requirement of any telephony application installed on Android that needs to put across a simple voice/video call. For now, I have managed a work-around for achieving this. But having an API at the framework layer would have greatly simplified development. Any feedback from the *Google team* on this feature request is appreciated. I can open an issue if needed. I am providing some practical applications that can be developed if this feature is available to support the above feature request: *1. **Customer Care Troubleshooting Application:* * * The user can directly connect to a customer care representative and explain their problem to the representative or even show the product under consideration by simply pointing their mobile device towards the product. This will significantly simplify and enhance the level of support the customer gets for their product. *2. Security/ Intelligence applications*: Security agencies in a corporate/government setup can establish a video call to a data center and stream live videos from their mobile handset cameras. *3. Remote learning:* Developing countries can use a remote learning application that uses a white board coupled with audio and video to impart eduction to children in remote areas. *4. Mobile Advertising: * Telecom operators currently provide Ringback tone applications to subscribers. The ringback is network generated, and controlled by a CRBT (Colored RingBack Tone) server. Telecom operators can offer their subscribers extra pre-paid credit if they agree to watch multimedia advertisements as a ringback every time an incoming call is received. These Ads can be rendered by an application that resides locally on the device. *5. Sports applications:* Football and Baseball matches can be streamed to the device in case the user happens to be on the move while the match is on. There will be no need for a TV tuning chip on the device for achieving this. I hope the feature request makes sense. Best Regards..

I saw a note in the documentation that read: Note: currently this class does not support use across multiple processes. This will be added later. * * So i assume that this is not possible (across application interaction) but might be made possible in future releases ? 2. Are there any best practices on what should be inserted in the SharedPreferences (if any) from a performance perspective (fast lookups) ? 3. Is the data stored in SharedPreferences secure ? Can I store passwords, license keys etc in it ? Best Regards and Wishes for the New Year...

[android-developers] Re: Regarding SharedPreferences and my use-case.
PS: forgot to add one more question to the trailing mail: 4. Shared Preferences data becomes persistent once committed. What is the persistence scope ? Is the data persistent across application re-start ?

[android-developers] A question regarding AsyncTasks
Hello, In the documentation, I read that it is not possible for executing 2 Async Tasks. If execute is called again, it should throw an exception. The following is given under the heading of Threading Rules, and i quote: The task can be executed only once (an exception will be thrown if a second execution is attempted.) I wish to understand the meaning of this statement. Does this mean, that if i try and execute the same task twice (concurrently) when the first execution of the task was still going on...an exception will be thrown ? Will i need to wait for the completion of the first task, before i spawn a second task ? A possible use case: The user wishes to download a set of files. He clicks on the download button by providing the URL. When the first download is still going on, he wishes to download another file and provides another URL. Both these user actions are serviced by a DownloadTask, that extends the AysncTask. If i wish to change this default behavior, is there a configuration option ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] A question regarding AsyncTasks
Thanks for the prompt response Agus. So, this means that the documentation needs to be updated ?
