Re: [android-developers] How are credentials stored in the OS framework?

2010-11-10 Thread Connick

Just curious as to the underlying storage mechanism for the data itself.
Dealing with rooting and access via API's is separate concern for IT.

How do you root somebody else's phone?

It does not matter. Read thread former's question first.

Also, if one will be willing to steal some people passwords it can be done
with some efforts and for some pool of users being potential victim. That's
the point here. And if you rooted your device, you can be a victim too,
no matter how clever you think you are. And (far too) many people rooted
their
phones because it's h4x0r or they simply found a tool for that, and
not because
they really neded to. Majority got not much idea what rooting really
means.

[android-developers] How are credentials stored in the OS framework?

2010-11-09 Thread Connick

Fielding questions from our IT dept around security and I didn't know this
one off hand. Can anyone provide insight as to how credentials are stored in
Android OS? (hashed, encrypted etc)

Thanks,

[android-developers] BitmapFactory.decode and Exif data in images

2010-10-18 Thread Connick

Hi folks,

I'm downsampling an image via BitmapFactory.decode then base64 encoding the
bytes to ship to the server. (long story on the latter part of that formula)
It seems this process nukes all Exif data in the image data. Am I
approaching this the wrong way or is this a fact of life?

[android-developers] Re: BitmapFactory.decode and Exif data in images

2010-10-18 Thread Connick

Tried just grabbing the bytes of the file, encoding and sending to server.
Sure enough exif data is intact. I'm guessing I'll need to downsample the
original image, write back out to a file, re-add exif data then grab the
file bytes, encode and ship off to the server.
Ugh ...If there's a better option, I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Stace

Re: [android-developers] Re: Synchronization period

2010-09-29 Thread Connick

I don't believe you can rely on a sync request to be executed on
immediately. It will be added to the queue of accounts to be synchronized
which means it may take a number of seconds before action is taken. Also, be
sure that sync is not turned off under Accounts sync.

Cheers,
Stacy

If you are using 2.2 / api level 8 you could use

For 2.1 you're going to have to use the AlarmManager to schedule your

[android-developers] Confused over activities and creating new tasks

2010-08-31 Thread Connick

Hi folks,

I'm launching a wizard as a series of views. (dialog theme) I need the user
to be able to step back and forth through the series of views. When the
final step is completed I'd like to return the to the original view that
launched this new task. (i.e. close the series of dialogs) The only way I've
gotten this to work is to call finish() on each dialog before starting the
activity of the next step. (that rules out being able to navigate back)

I've tried launching the initial intent with Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
as well as setting a taskAffinity for the views involved to no avail.

Any insight appreciated,
Stace

[android-developers] HTTPClient hanging on occasion + really bizarre solution

2010-08-01 Thread Connick

I have a service that is loading images from a server. Almost every time the
service runs it gets hung up on what seems to be misfire with the connection
to the server. On closer inspection it looks as though HTTPClient
spontaneously decides to hang as the last successful request from the server
results in a status 200 and I don't see the next request go out. What's
really bizarre is that it unblocks if I turn the device and force landscape
(or vice-versa). If I'm loading, say 30 images, I'll have to turn the device
portrait and landscape 2-3x for all the requests to complete sucessfully.

Turns out there's a 3rd timeout:

For whatever reason the connection isn't being established and it was

allows me to handle the situation. Just FYI in case anyone else runs into
this prob.

Re: [android-developers] Adding headers to listview for cursor with grouped results

2010-07-31 Thread Connick

For anyone looking to dynamically add a header to a sorted cursor in a list,
Kostya's suggestion worked brilliantly. In getView override check the column
value you're sorting on of the previous cursor position to determine if you
need to use a regular row or a view which contains both a header *and* a row
layout.

 I just had an idea.

 It should be much easier to implement the header as part of data item view
 hierarchy. This way the number of items in the list view is exactly the same
 as the number of items in the cursor, and you can avoid extra code dealing
 with counting data items and mapping their positions.

 You'd have two kinds of list item views - one with the header, one
 without. Deciding which one to use is pretty simple - in the adapter's
 getView, compare the item's data with the previous item's. If they differ,
 you need to use the version with the header.

2010-07-31 Thread Connick

Is there a way to throttle change notifications emanating from a content
provider? Was thinking some sort of timer solution but that could get messy.
e.g. if the last notification isn't made then data on the UI will be
inaccurate.

Thanks,
Stace

[android-developers] Adding headers to listview for cursor with grouped results

2010-07-30 Thread Connick

Requirement: Display query results in a list with a header view atop each
group. (results grouped from database)
Looking at Mark's MergeAdapter. Wondering if I might be able to use a single
cursor and have each adapter filter on the group field? That a viable
approach?

 I suspect that would be troublesome, since Cursor objects know their
 position, and you'd need the position to be constantly jumping around.

 You can do headings with a single Cursor -- my sleep-deprived brain
 has a couple of ideas, none I'm in position to flesh out right this
 moment -- but you'd need to take a substantially different approach
 than does the MergeAdapter.

Re: [android-developers] Adding headers to listview for cursor with grouped results

2010-07-30 Thread Connick

The grouping itself is no problem ...its tossing in the arbitrary view to
act as a header to each group within that list. From the looks of the client
it doesn't use any type of headers in its list ...but thanks for the
suggestion!

 I just had an idea.

 It should be much easier to implement the header as part of data item view
 hierarchy. This way the number of items in the list view is exactly the same
 as the number of items in the cursor, and you can avoid extra code dealing
 with counting data items and mapping their positions.

 You'd have two kinds of list item views - one with the header, one without.
 Deciding which one to use is pretty simple - in the adapter's getView,
 compare the item's data with the previous item's. If they differ, you need
 to use the version with the header.

visible.

Re: [android-developers] ProgressDialog fills screen in Froyo 2.2

 2.2, the width of the dialog extends to the width of the screen

 I find the previous dialog display in Android 2.1 and below to be much
 more visually appealing to have the dialog only as wide as needed to
 display a message.  To have the dialog span the width of the screen
 for a one word message that is left justified just looks odd.

flyingdutc...@gmail.comwrote:

Good luck with that one... i tried but no luck.

If you think about it, it makes sense that this is not 'easy' to do
with the standard controls (like the text view).

The text-view knows about its parent (the rel. layout), not about its
siblings (imageview).
If you center the text-view in the parent, the largest extent of the
text-view is the left-and right border of the parent. The text-view
doesn't know about the imageview and where it exactly is and can not
position itself or its text relative to the image-view borders.

You can also specify instead that the text-view is right-aligned and
is 'to-the-right-of' the imageview and the text inside the text-view
is centered. However, that will put the text off-center, a bit too
much to the right.

I 'solved' it by putting an equal amount of empty space (an empty
View) to the right of the text-view:
imageview: left aligned, with specific width.
textview: right-of imageview, left-of emptyview. Text is centered.
emptyview: right aligned, with same width as imageview.
This solution is not perfect, since the text will never go all the way
to the right. But then, again, this does make some sense, since the
text doesn't go all the way to the left either. If the text would
extend all the way to the right and not all the way to the left, the
text would appear off-center.

[android-developers] ListView not refreshing on back button when cursor is changed

2010-07-08 Thread Connick

My user has a menu option to jump from a list activity to a preference
screen which has options for filtering and/or sorting visible data in the
aforementioned list activity. When the user hits the back button, inside
onResume() I am calling cursor.managedQuery() with the new sort/filter
params. The query is executing (with expected sorted results) but the
ListView isn't updating. If I force onCreate to fire by rotating the device,
the list updates appropriately. The only workaround I've found so far is to
re-create the adapter onResume ...which obviously isn't the best approach as
I lose scroll position etc.

I've attempted notify change manually to no avail. (as well as requery - but
the problem isn't data retrieval) I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. :\

  There is no managedQuery() method on a Cursor, AFAIK.

changing, just the contents of the cursor.

  re-create the adapter onResume ...which obviously isn't the best approach

 If I change sort or filter conditions, as a user I would expect to be
  taken to the top of the list, since the previous scroll position is
  meaningless.


For a sort, absolutely ..but if I'm re-setting the adapter then when the
user drills down (versus jumping to preferences) then hits back, the scroll
position is also reset. Perhaps a compromise would be to fire a broadcast
from prefs that resets the adapter on the list. Then drill down and back
won't be affected.

[android-developers] Can load html from assets but loading JS, CSS from within that HTML is another story ...

2010-07-07 Thread Connick

I'm loading html into a webview from my assets folder, works no problem. In
my second experiment I've loaded HTML from a database (after pulling from
remote source) and displayed in a webview (also no prob) ...Now I'm trying
to change the baseref inside the html to have all JS and CSS references
point to source files under assets. This part doesn't seem to work. I get
warnings from the web console that it can't load these files due to security
issue.

Now I've resorted back to a content provider and overriding openFile (and
setting base ref with content://...) but now I'm hitting another problem
with the JS and CSS files in assets being compressed.

Before I dig deeper, am I over-complicating this?

Cheers,
Stace

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to set sync interval for accounts in pre-froyo

I ended up using a hybrid solution. Alarm manager to perform a requestSync.
I believe auto is feasible if you have the option of leveraging their
cloud-device messaging.

[android-developers] Activity saved state not always working?

2010-07-02 Thread Connick

I've got a TextView which keeps losing it's previous value between intent
invocations. If I enter some text, hit the home button then relaunch the app
the text is restored as expected. If I change orientation, onCreate fires
and again text is restored as expected. However if I navigate elsewhere in
the app via menu option then navigate BACK to the original screen via the
menu, onCreate receives null for the incoming Bundle and my TextView loses
state. I can see onSaveInstanceState being called before navigating away so
I'm scratching my head as to what's going on.

Menu option is firing an intent like so:
intent = new Intent( Constants.INTENT_FORM_LIST );
startActivity( intent );

 It's absolutely being called (onCreate, onResume) ...onDestroy is called on

Re: [android-developers] Activity saved state not always working?

2010-07-02 Thread Connick


  Whereas calling startActivity( intent ) from within an application
 implies a
  reset state and will not have the same affect as navigating back in the
  activity stack.

  Calling startActivity() usually creates a new instance of the
  activity, which by definition has no saved state.

 http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en

Thanks for clarification. I was assuming that if the activity was still
residing in the stack the instance would be re-used.

[android-developers] Best way to change text styles in a list? (performance)

2010-06-30 Thread Connick

Hi all,

Ever since I added conditional text formatting on my list items I've noticed
a performance drop. It's still usable but I'm somewhat obsessive about
performance/experience so I would really like to tweak my approach as best I
can. The following snippet is how I'm achieving my conditional formatting.
Is this the only way? (Perf drop appears to be related to making TextViews
spannable)

if( w.state.equalsIgnoreCase( Tasks.STATE_READ ))
{
  s.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.NORMAL ), 0, s.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );
  i.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.NORMAL ), 0, i.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );

  w.getInstructions().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD );
  w.getDeadline().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD );
}
else
{
  s.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.BOLD ), 0, s.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );
  i.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.BOLD ), 0, i.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );

  w.getInstructions().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD );
  w.getDeadline().setTextColor( 0x );
 }

Thanks Mark,

I knew it had to be simpler. I've turfed all the Spannable stuff ...almost
flawless now. Only one slight stutter on fast fling. Next stop is addressing
nested layout in the row xml ...

if( w.state.equalsIgnoreCase( Tasks.STATE_READ ))
{
w.getStepName().setTypeface( Typeface.DEFAULT );
w.getInstructions().setTypeface( Typeface.DEFAULT );


}
else
{
w.getStepName().setTypeface( Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD );
w.getInstructions().setTypeface( Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD );


 }

 1. w.getInstructions().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD ); appears to be the
 same in both branches of your if(), meaning it probably does not need
 to be called every time.

 2. Create private data members for new StyleSpan( Typeface.NORMAL )
 and new StyleSpan( Typeface.BOLD ) and reference those data members,
 rather than creating new instances every time.

 3. If s and i are TextViews, skip the Spannable stuff and just call
 setTypeface() (using cached normal and bold Typeface objects)

[android-developers] How to set sync interval for accounts in pre-froyo

2010-06-22 Thread Connick

Hi folks,

Does anyone know if there's a way to set the sync interval on accounts via
sync adapter in pre-froyo? They've added the API to do so in 2.2 but I'm
curious to know if there is a workaround in 2.0-2.1. (My backup plan is the
alarm manager) What's odd is there doesn't even seem to be any preset
interval either ...so accounts are never synced!

using Ant build scripts. I've got a bunch more ideas about tutorials
to post, but it'd be nice if I could hammer out some kinks sooner
rather than later.

Thanks all,

[android-developers] Fwd: OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener never receives callback

2010-06-20 Thread Connick

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do ...but if it helps any,
I ended up using a broadcast/receiver to relay the preference change. While
I could have just re-read from preferences onResume on the second activity,
I didn't want the user to see data shifting around in the list as the new
sort was applied.

Cheers,
Stace

Hello Connick,

sorry to bother you, but have you done, that it works now
for you ?

My situation :
   Service  A has SharedPreference .. write them after some kernel
events

  Activity B can read them ( i.e. in onResume )

  BUT, if the Activity is currently shown   I will update them via
 a SharedPreferenceChangeListener. But he isn't called , when Service
a changes the Preference.

 For me a very simular situation to yours, right ?

So what is the missing point ? Thanks a lot !

  Frank

[android-developers] Making TextViews Spannable causes ListView performance to tank

2010-06-18 Thread Connick

Hi all,

I've got a list few which I've optimized in every possible way. Performance
matches the exchange email client so I'm happy in that respect. It's very
fluid regardless of the number of records. The problem is the moment I
introduce some conditional formatting of TextViews (think bold for unread,
normal for read) the list starts to get choppy when the user flings the
list. Is there a better way to tackle this formatting?

My layout is optimized (single relative layout) and I'm using a viewwrapper.

Example: (in my actual code there are 4 Textviews)

Spannable s = (Spannable) w.stepname.getText();


if( state.equalsIgnoreCase( Tasks.STATE_READ ))
{
s.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.NORMAL ), 0, s.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );

w.getStepName().setTextColor( 0xFFBDBEBD );
}
else
{
s.setSpan( new StyleSpan( Typeface.BOLD ), 0, s.length(),
Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE );

w.getStepName().setTextColor( 0x );
}

[android-developers] Should I bother with my own sync adapter?

2010-06-17 Thread Connick

In my current app I decided to integrate into account management and create
a sync adapter. I'm wondering if it's worth doing this over an alarm manager
approach as I don't believe it's supported below 2.0? Even worse I'm
currently using a 2.2 API to set the sync interval (not possible before ??)
which is definitely a problem! Also the users accounts have no contacts
associated with them so at times my account type shows up in dialogues that
aren't really applicable.

Sounds like I've answered my own question but I'm curious to hear other
perspectives.

Cheers,
Stace

Re: [android-developers] ListView with sections from a SINGLE Cursor

2010-06-16 Thread Connick

I'm facing this exact challenge this morning! +1


On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 11:33 AM, sasq jonas.minnb...@gmail.com wrote:

 I've been looking around a lot on how to separate a ListView into
 sections with headers, and all solutions are based on using multiple
 adapters.

 I have only a single database query that is ordered by a specific
 field. I want to present this information in a ListView, and insert
 headings whenever the field changes.

 For instance, you search a large amount of music files for love and
 get a list like this:

 == Alice Bung ==
 Love boat
 === Beavers ===
 Lots of Love
 No Love
 Zlovek Zlatan
 === Some other Group ==
 Another song about love
 Yet another song about love

 Actually inserting the headers as a second viewtype requires you to
 scan the whole result to get an accurate count.
 The best I've come up with is returning the Header combined with the
 first item as a single view so as to keep the count correct, but then
 selection looks wrong.

 Any tips?

[android-developers] Setting background color on row layout prevents display of highlight on select

2010-06-16 Thread Connick

I'm setting background color based on a given state of an object in each row
in a list. That part is working just fine but when I set the background
color on the outermost layout the row no longer highlights when selected.
Probably a specific attribute I'm not setting/changing?

Thanks,
Stace

[android-developers] Implementing Filterable Cursor Adapter: How to I invoke/refresh filter?

2010-06-15 Thread Connick

Hi folks

I've overriden runQueryOnBackgroundThread and done what I've needed to do
for the corrent query to be excuted with a given constraint. My current
challenge is figuring out how to actually pass in the constraint. I've got
an ActivityList which I'd like to filter on a stored preference. I'm
thinking I will need to perform a filter during onStart such that the most
recent preference changes are picked up. All that is in place, just not
clicking on how I'd actually cause the filter to happen!

Appreciate any insight,
Cheers
Stace

[android-developers] OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener never receives callback

2010-06-15 Thread Connick

Hi folks,

I'm trying to listen for preference changes from an activity (see below). It
never fires. Is it due to the fact that the activity in question is not in
focus when the change event fires?

sharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(
getApplicationContext() );

SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener prefListener = new
SharedPreferences.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener()
{
  @Override
  public void onSharedPreferenceChanged( SharedPreferences
sharedPreferences, String key )
  {
 Log.w( TAG, Pref key:  + key );
  }
};
sharedPrefs.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener( prefListener );

Cheers,
Stacy

Re: [android-developers] OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener never receives callback

No effect. I'm registering the listener in onCreate of my activity, not sure
if that has any implications. I've also been assuming this should fire when
prefs are either changed via a pref activity and/or when a commit is called
from a shared pref editor?

 It shouldn't be. It works in services, and services never have the focus.

  sharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(
  getApplicationContext() );

 Try using this instead of getApplicationContext()

[android-developers] ListView no longer responding to select when checkbox added to row view

2010-06-10 Thread Connick

I'm sure this is an obvious one but I'm at a loss. I'm using my own layout
for list rows, all well and fine ...but the moment I add a checkbox view to
the rows layout only the checkbox responds to user selection. I'd like for
the checkbox to change state if the user taps anywhere within a given row.
(as with android prefs)

Any pointers appreciated!

[android-developers] Possible to receive notification of account removal?

Hi folks,

Been doing some digging but so far it's not apparent on how I can have my
app be notified (via intent possibly?) on when an account type associated
with my app is removed from the manager. When this happens I need to perform
data cleanup for that account in a local database etc.

Any insight appreciated.

[android-developers] SyncAdapter - sync frequency?

I've looked at the SampleSyncAdapter project that ships with the SDK and
I've implemented my own sync service successfully. However I've noticed
there does not seem to be any public APIs for controlling sync frequency.
Did I miss something obvious?
