[android-developers] How to control ViewFlipper in honeycomb app widget?
I am coding an app widget for Honeycomb. I am attempting to use a ViewFlipper, which Honeycomb docs say is supported in app widgets now. I would expect to be able to use one of the following APIs for this ViewFlipper: RemoteViews.showNext(int viewId) or RemoteViews.setInt(int viewId, String methodName, int value) How am I supposed to control when the view flipper flips?? It's unacceptable to me to have it automatically flipping, like for a slide show. Here are the exceptions for reference: W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): android.widget.RemoteViews $ActionException: view: android.widget.ViewFlipper can't use method with RemoteViews: showNext() W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.widget.RemoteViews $ReflectionActionWithoutParams.apply(RemoteViews.java:556) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.widget.RemoteViews.performApply(RemoteViews.java:1515) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.widget.RemoteViews.apply(RemoteViews.java:1492) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.appwidget.AppWidgetHostView.updateAppWidget(AppWidgetHostView.java: 225) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.appwidget.AppWidgetHost.createView(AppWidgetHost.java:234) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.Launcher.completeAddAppWidget(Launcher.java: 1233) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.Launcher.addAppWidgetImpl(Launcher.java:1728) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.Launcher.addAppWidgetFromDrop(Launcher.java: 1672) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.Workspace.onDropExternal(Workspace.java:2754) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.Workspace.onDrop(Workspace.java:2207) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.DragController.drop(DragController.java:597) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.DragController.onTouchEvent(DragController.java: 576) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at com.android.launcher2.DragLayer.onTouchEvent(DragLayer.java:64) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): android.widget.RemoteViews $ActionException: view: android.widget.ViewFlipper can't use method with RemoteViews: setDisplayedChild(int) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.widget.RemoteViews $ReflectionAction.apply(RemoteViews.java:778) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.widget.RemoteViews.performApply(RemoteViews.java:1515) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.widget.RemoteViews.apply(RemoteViews.java:1492) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.appwidget.AppWidgetHostView.updateAppWidget(AppWidgetHostView.java: 225) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.appwidget.AppWidgetHost.updateAppWidgetView(AppWidgetHost.java: 266) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.appwidget.AppWidgetHost $UpdateHandler.handleMessage(AppWidgetHost.java:81) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java: 126) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3997) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) W/AppWidgetHostView( 450): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:491) Please note I opened issue 14956 to try to get Google's official help too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] What layout objects are allowed in honeycomb app widgets?
Reading through the Honeycomb highlights doc here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0-highlights.html It says: Android 3.0 lets developers take home screen widgets to the next level, offering more types of content and new modes of interaction with users. Developers can now use more standard UI widget types home screen widgets, including widgets that let users flip through collections of content as 3D stacks, grids, or lists. Users can interact with the home screen widgets in new ways, such as by using touch gestures to scroll and flip the content displayed in a widget. However, as a developer I am not clear on what this means exactly. In the honeycomb SDK docs, there are no new layout/viewgroup types that are called out as being 'newly allowed' in honeycomb app widgets, however by looking at the samples I saw that there is a StackView in one app widget. Can you please give us more details about which layout objects are allowed in honeycomb app widgets? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] onRestoreInstanceState exception only on froyo for a simple textview
I have an application with an activity group, and it uses the local activity manager class to start a subactivity and insert that subactivity's view.

Please help - I have NO idea as to how the parcelable object getting sent to onRestoreInstanceState would be for a list view. I even changed the id to something even more unique and it didn't fix the problem.

[android-developers] Re: onRestoreInstanceState exception only on froyo for a simple textview
It appears that there is a bug in android where subactivities' views
are not kept isolated from each other (like AppWidgetHostView does).
Android generates the same set of id's across applications and I found
that another subactivity in the activity group has the same id
assigned to it and it's a list view. I am going to suppress saving
instance state for now, as a temporary fix but I understand that won't
enable me to get the default state saving functionality built into
android. Should I open a bug?

[android-developers] Android's support for multiple screens
My team has developed a suite of applications for a specific device/ screen - it's a medium density, large sized screen according to the parameters defined here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#qualifiers I would like to know if it's possible to leverage android 1.6's multiple screen support infrastructure to get these applications to automatically scale the drawable images down such that they display properly (even if they are too small to interact with) on a medium density, normal sized screen (like the G1). As far as I can tell there is no way to get Android to do this automatically for me, because both devices are considered mdpi and drawables are typically divided up into alternate resource folders by density. I tried the following definition in my Android manifest but it did not work: supports-screens anyDensity=false largeScreens=true smallScreens=false normalScreens=false / Please advise. Thanks!!

[android-developers] Re: How can my view access mScrollX and mScrollY in computeScroll method?
I should have been more clear - in computeScroll, it's typical to need to set the scroll x and scroll y. I don't know of any way to do that - any suggestions? The root issue I am having here is that the duration of the scroll is too small and scrolls are too fast. I need to set a shorter duration for the mScroller.startScroll call and I also would like to set a custom interpolator on the mScroller object. However, I don't have any access to the mScroller object within a HorizontalScrollView (it's private) so my only option is to implement a class that is similar to HorizontalScrollView, and that is where I run into the issues where my computeScroll method needs to set mScrollX and mScrollY so that the super-super-superclass, View, will render and draw my horizontal scroll view properly.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with Service Permission
We solved the issue by getting the application context and calling
startService/bindService on that context rather than the activity's
context (which is within an activity group - which is why it didn't
work for some reason).
On Nov 13, 3:46 pm, Raktim Das [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi,
I am coming back to you on a related issue.
Now the situation is like this: I have application App1 which hosts
the service and also has the client Activity. Plus I have App2 which
has an ActivityGroup. I launch App1 client Activity from this App2
ActivityGroup.
The client Activity code is like this -
Intent intent = new Intent(com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService,
null, this,
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService.class);
startService(intent);
result = bindService(intent, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
and the service element in the manifest like this -
service android:name=.service.BackgroundService
android:permission=com.abc.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE
android:process=:remote android:exported=true
intent-filter
action android:name=com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService
/
/intent-filter
/service
The uses-permission tag remains in the client manifest file, which is
the service manifest file too (since they are in the same app). I have
put the same uses-permission tag in the manifest file of App2 as well
-
uses-permission
android:name=com.abc.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE /
When I launch App1 client Activity directly, it runs fine. Service
gets initiated and bound to.
But when I launch App1 client Activity via App2 ActivityGroup, I get
these logs -
- WARN/ActivityManager(51): Binding with unknown activity:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
- INFO/ActivityManager(51): Start proc com.abc.xyz:remote for service
com.abc.xyz/.service.BackgroundService: pid=417 uid=10015 gids={3003}
and the value of 'result' is 'false'.
I am loading App1 first, then App2 into the emulator.

First, my comment on your second point -
This I had already been doing - as in the client application's
manifest, the service application's manifest too has this entry under
the manifest tag:
uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_SERVICE /
Now coming to the first point, I changed the client code line from -
Intent intent = new Intent(this,
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService.class);
to
Intent intent = new Intent(com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService);
After the change, it seems the service is identified and the earlier
warning message -
Unable to start service Intent{ comp={com.abc.xyz.client/
com.abc.xyz.service.BackgroundService} }:not found
is not coming.
But then the permission related SecurityException is coming at the
client statement startService(intent) as below:

Right. I have done that too, and it works great. The problem is that

I need to be able to detect which orientation I am using.
Currently, I am using the Configuration method mentioned above and it

wondered if there was a preferred method.

I am not sure what constants this is using, but it returns exactly

There are probably more. Does anyone know the correct or preferred

[android-developers] Re: Beta support for resource sharing
Hi Dianne, I was able to get a separate Context object that corresponds to the common resources app using the createPackageContext API you referenced. Is there any easy way to reference a resource from another app in XML? For example, to reference a drawable from the current app, you would do something like this: ImageView android:src=@drawable/thumbnail_background ... / How can we easily reference a drawable from another app from an XML layout?

[android-developers] Beta support for resource sharing
The beta SDK release notes found here http://code.google.com/android/RELEASENOTES.html state: Starting with this release, Android .apk files must be cryptographically signed, or the system will reject them upon installation. The purpose of this requirement is to securely and uniquely identify developers, so that the system can -- for example -- safely let multiple .apk files signed by the same developer share resources Can you please tell us what is meant by this statement? We are developing numerous applications and we'd like to put all of our shared resources (images, layouts, etc) into a common resources project and have all other apps load them from this common resources app. I created a common app and a leveraging app, and I built them both in the same environment (which should mean that they have the same signature according to Xavier's post here http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f59f63e0bd7c9dc8/a081b08e871a9f0b ) with a common sharedUserId declared in the AndroidManifest.xml, but still the following code does not work, indicating that the leveraging app is not able to retrieve a resource from the common resource apk: int resourceId = myAppContext.getResources().getIdentifier(my_image, drawable, com.frogdesign.common.resources); What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to accomplish this? Please advise. Thanks!! Cheryl --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Beta support for resource sharing
I am getting a return value of '0' which essentially means resource not found AFAIK. Note that I am passing the context for the leveraging app, but the package name declared in the AndroidManifest of the common app. Thanks! Cheryl On Sep 18, 11:18 am, hackbod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Could you please expand on does not work? Are there error messages in the log? What value are you getting back, or are you getting an except? Specifically for resources, the change to require signing has no impact, because it is safe to load and use resources in any process (the resources aren't code that can run in the process loading them). Also the ONLY thing that changed in all of this is that now, instead of using that bogus android:signature value in the manifest to determine if two .apks trust each other, we compare their certificates/ signatures.

[android-developers] Bitmap recycle/createBitmap freeing memory properly?
Hi, I am getting this exception in the beta SD which I never got on the m5 SDK - I have changed some logic so I am not 100% sure that it's not my code that is causing this, but would you mind checking whether or not Android properly frees all memory when Bitmap.recycle() is called and also when a bitmap is cropped using the Bitmap.createBitmap() API and later goes out of scope (i.e. can be garbage collected)? Here is the stack trace for my issue: D/dalvikvm( 414): GC freed 15290 objects / 1630400 bytes in 90ms E/dalvikvm-heap( 414): 194184-byte external allocation too large for this process.

[android-developers] Re: How to re-use the photo picker activity in my application
Thanks Megha - it started working when I relaunched Android - I have
no idea why it wasn't working before - I definitely had the SD card
installed because I was selecting from images on the SD card in the
photo picker.
On Aug 29, 5:28 pm, Megha Joshi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Did you launch this with sdcard installed? Are there any Pictures in your
Pictures app?
If not, you should install sdcard, take pictures from the Camera app and
then try app.
I tried executing your code and onActivityResult() is being called. I tested
it on Linux, but the OS shouldn't matter in this case.
When your app launches the Pictures application, pick a picture and you
should see the logcat output of Got the result...

[android-developers] ActivityGroup error - app context getting mixed up?
I have an activity group in ApplicationA that started an Activity2 in
ApplicationB, and everything worked perfectly in the m5 SDK. In the
beta SDK, I get errors when the activity group in ApplicationA starts
Activity2 and Activity2's view is being initialized - specifically
when a TextView is being created.
The problem seems to be that ApplicationA defines a color constant
white in its colors.xml, and ApplicationB also defines a color
white in its colors.xml, and Android is mixing the two application's
contexts up - it's essentially sending ApplicationA's resource
identifier for the color white along to a view being initialized in
ApplicationB. Here is the exception we see:
ERROR/AndroidRuntime(696): Caused by: android.content.res.Resources
$NotFoundException: Resource is not a ColorStateList (color or path):
TypedValue{t=0x1/d=0x7f040002 a=1 r=0x7f040002}

ERROR/AndroidRuntime(696): at
com.frogdesign.common.ui.MyView.init(MyView.java:73)
In ApplicationA's R.java file I see:
public static final class color {
public static final int black=0x7f040004;
public static final int faded_white=0x7f040001;
public static final int hyperlink_gray=0x7f040005;
public static final int text_bottom_gray=0x7f040003;
public static final int transparent=0x7f04;
public static final int white=0x7f040002;
}
In ApplicationB's R.java file I see:
public static final class color {
public static final int black=0x7f050003;
public static final int button_price=0x7f050009;
public static final int dark_blue=0x7f05000a;

public static final int text_bottom_gray=0x7f050005;
public static final int transparent=0x7f05;
public static final int white=0x7f050002;
}
Is this a bug? I feel that it is, because ApplicationB's view should
operate completely independently of ApplicationA, even if an
ActivityGroup in ApplicationA is starting an activity in
ApplicationB. I can think of several hacks to get around it but they
are not reliable - this is a critical problem that is impacting our
application from functioning properly on the beta SDK, we appreciate
any info you can give as soon as you can.
Thanks,
Cheryl

[android-developers] Re: 'signature' attribute of Android Manifest no longer valid in beta SDK (v0.9)
You guys are exactly right - I used my own custom shared ID and made
sure to build the .apks on the same machine (thus reusing the same C:
\Documents and Settings\Cheryl.Sedota\Local Settings\Application Data
\Android\debug.keystore signature) and it works perfectly.
THANKS!!

The android:signature attribute was a temporary facility until .apk
signing was implemented. Now that it is, the actual .apk signature is
used (so this is actually secure). Thus, for two .apks to share the
same android:sharedUserId, they must be signed with the same
certificate.
From Xav's comments, it sounds like you are signing your .apks with
different certificates.

[android-developers] How to post a new key event?
I am developing an on-screen keyboard activity and need to post a key event to Android. I can't figure out how to do it. I've intercepted some key events to see what Android methods are on the stack, and it seems that I need to call getParent() from my view until I get to the view root (android.view.ViewRoot, which is not an accessible class in Android application code) and then call this method: public void dispatchKey(KeyEvent event) ... I tried calling that method on my view root object using java reflection and passed the key event object that I created. That call was successful but no new text shows up in my EditText control which is located within the keyboard activity. My first goal is for the EditText control that is located within the keyboard activity (which maintains focus even while the key image is pressed) to show the text that I have entered using the keyboard. My second goal is for an EditText control that is in the Activity behind my keyboard activity to show the text that I have entered using the keyboard. I appreciate any help anyone can provide!!

[android-developers] Re: How to post a new key event?
Hi, I am not trying to listen for the onKeyDown event in my keyboard view class or keyboard activity - I want the EditText control that is in the same viewgroup as my keyboard view to listen for and respond to it. Do I have to explicitly set EditText views as focusable? I wouldn't think so because I can type on the Android off-screen keyboard and the text shows up in the EditText view just fine.

Do you call the super.onKeyDown(...) and return it's result, when you don't process a key that you don't recognize ? Does commenting the onKeyDown(...) method make the EditText Control, work correctly again ? Maybe you are just forgetting to call the following on your view: setFocusable( true ); // Make sure we get keys NOTE: without Focus you don't receive any keyboard input !

[android-developers] Re: How to implement non-modal floating windows?
Thanks Dianne! Adding the FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL worked :) WindowManager.LayoutParams wlp = getWindow().getAttributes(); wlp.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM; wlp.flags = wlp.flags | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL; getWindow().addContentView(keyboardView, wlp); On Mar 24, 8:25 pm, hackbod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All of the window control is does through the WindowManager.LayoutParams; there are APIs on Window (retrieved with Dialog.getWindow()) for manipulating them. http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/view/WindowManager.L...

I would like the activity that is displayed behind/above the keyboard window to receive touch events even when the keyboard activity view is visible (basically I don't want the keyboard activity to eat touch events if the events don't occur within the floating keyboard activity window's boundaries). Please help me figure out how to accomplish this. The keyboard activity's content view is set to: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

[android-developers] What attribute replaced menuItemBackground in the m5 emulator?
This post (which is closed to further posts): http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/14ad8df23264f7c1/ba750c4b6e4c5d04?lnk=stq=menuItemBackground#ba750c4b6e4c5d04 ... suggests that the menuItemBackground attribute can be specified in the theme in order to change the background image that is shown when a list item is selected (it's orange by default in the current m5 SDK). However, that theme attribute got removed in the m5 SDK. Please advise how to get rid of the orange background image that shows up when a list item is clicked.
