[android-developers] SQLite - Unsupported file format [DS]
Im wondering if anyone here can provide some insight on this error I'm seeing from my app which is released in the Android Market and is reporting back the exception shown below. It's having trouble opening the DB, stating unsupported file format I can't find any good info in a google search as to why this might happen. My best guess is that somehow the DB file is getting corrupted. Any ideas? Thanks, Declan java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service com.threefiftynice.android.picpush.framework.UploadService: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: unsupported file format at android.app.ActivityThread.handleCreateService(ActivityThread.java:2474) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2800(ActivityThread.java:112) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1744) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:3948) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:782) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:540) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Caused by: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: unsupported file format at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.native_setLocale(Native Method) at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.setLocale(SQLiteDatabase.java:1658) at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.init(SQLiteDatabase.java:1608) at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase(SQLiteDatabase.java:649) at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(SQLiteDatabase.java:679) at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.openOrCreateDatabase(SQLiteDatabase.java:672) at android.app.ApplicationContext.openOrCreateDatabase(ApplicationContext.java:479) at android.content.ContextWrapper.openOrCreateDatabase(ContextWrapper.java:181) at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper.getWritableDatabase(SQLiteOpenHelper.java:98) at com.threefiftynice.android.picpush.db.MMDBHelper.getWritableDatabase(MMDBHelper.java:36) at com.threefiftynice.android.picpush.db.MMDBAdapter.init(MMDBAdapter.java:15) at com.threefiftynice.android.picpush.db.TransferAdapter.init(TransferAdapter.java:45) at com.threefiftynice.android.picpush.framework.UploadService.resetStaleTransfers(UploadService.java:682) at com.threefiftynice.android.picpush.framework.UploadService.onCreate(UploadService.java:674) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleCreateService(ActivityThread.java:2465) ... 10 more -- An engineer's definition of done is the perfect set of code, and left to his own devices, an engineer will endlessly improve the code on the mythic journey to done. -- http://www.randsinrepose.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Go through the code ans suggest
The problem is that you are doing all the work on the UI thread in one
method.
The progress dialog is shown and dismissed in the same method.
You need to post to the server asynchronously while the progress dialog is
showing.
Follow the pattern outlined in this article and you will be on your way.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Switching views with RadioButton and saving views in Bundle
I'd just like to point out that you are probably going down the wrong road
based on bad upfront advice from the person who provided that first link to
you.
His second piece of advice - i.e.
you can save the state of your RadioButton in onSaveInstanceState() and
re-apply
it in either onCreate() or onRestoreInstanceState().
is the way you should be approaching this problem.
The reason Android destroys and re-creates your activity during an
orientation switch is so it can load in the appropriate resources based on
the orientation. i.e. landscape or portrait drawables and layouts.
By ignoring the orientation change you lose this functionality.
Also,
You will have better results if you hide show views rather than actually
removing them from the view heirarchy.
SEE:
view.setVisibility(View.GONE) and view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE)

Thanks, that little change to the manifest did exactly what I wanted.
As for the error, I don't know why but now it's a RemoteException, and
it happens the second time I push a button and try to add a view. That
is, if I start out with the 2D view, I can change to 3D but then I try
changing back to 2D and it crashes when trying to add the 2D view even
though I remove it when I press the 3D button. Could it be that
removeView doesn't actually remove the view at all, but just hides it?
Either way, what I want is to only have one view attached to my main
view with the radio buttons, at all times.

[android-developers] Re: Paid applications and market feedback/rating
As far as i can figure out the return on ads is not worth it unless you can serve 100,000 impressions per day. At the normal clickthru rate you can expect about $1 for every 1000 ads served up (with admob anyway) Admob also has a very small advertiser base, its always the same ads showing up. Good thing google are finally getting into the game with adsense. Pity its restricted right now tho.

[android-developers] Re: Paid applications and market feedback/rating
I was searching for an easy way to implement trial and paid versions. This seems like an ideal solution. Gonna try it out. Has anyone out there tried this? How did it work out? On Sat, May 9, 2009 at 10:42 AM, mirko mirkocze...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi all, as in a few weeks it will be possible to sell application from germany I was thinking some time to keep my currently free version and offer an enhanced paid version. I only wanted to support one version of code. The idea was to have a preference setting to enable the paid options in the code. So I tried to get a secure way to set this preference. In my opinion the above shown way works, but everyone can just write a package that meets the package name of the license and install it. To get access to the private preference of the free version of the program, I will use signature based permission and a very easy content provider. These steps will lead to a full version: 1. Install the free version 2. Install the licensing application for the free version. This one needs to have the same signature as the free version. 3. When starting the paid app, it gets the simple content provider from the free app (secured with signature based permissions) and sets the flag for the license in the preferences of the free app 4. You can use the free app with all features. 5. After 24 hours the license app has to be run again to make sure it was not refunded. (can be done automatically with an intent) 6. The license app may be uninstalled to safe memory What do you think about this approach? Did I miss anything? Any huge security leaks? If this work I will publish the code for the licensing app so that every app can get the same licensing behaviour. @Google: Btw, I think the best thing would be to handle such licensing within the market, because this would be the easiest for the user. Until this is done we have to do such workarounds. Mirko On 17 Mrz., 16:56, StefanK skyntc...@gmail.com wrote: There is probably a possibility to still keep the ratings if you leave the app free, let it expire (or go to a limited functionality after a several days or so). If users want to get it back to full features - they have to buy an unlock key. The unlock key is nothing more than a paid application that has no functionality. Your free application will just have to check if the paid is installed and unlock itself. This approach (if possible) has lots of advantages: 1. You can keep the ratings from the free app 2. You support only one app (not free and paid). 3. You can give your users potentially longer trial than the 24 hours Google allows. 4. No need to port settings from the free to the paid one. 5. You potentially avoid issues with crashes caused by copy protection as you will copy protect only the paid app that has not real functionality, This is a bit unconventional approach, but it may work.

Assuming the signature/package is tied to the market app, there is no way to convert a previously free app to a paid app. A brand new app must be installed instead, if I've understood thing so far.

[android-developers] Re: connection with Gdata : problem
Following the recommendation from this thread:
http://markmail.org/message/2do7hlyw6ka4dat2#query:android%20HttpsUrlConnection+page:2+mid:slnqe4wtk6k77e3r+state:results
I have placed some modified jars here:
http://www.shanaghy.com/gdatamod/
I modified the gdata source to override the https cert verifier in the
following places.
com\google\gdata\client\GoogleAuthTokenFactory.java(461):
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\authn\oauth\OAuthHttpClient.java(43):
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)
url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\AuthSubUtil.java(303): HttpURLConnection
httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\AuthSubUtil.java(371): HttpURLConnection
httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\AuthSubUtil.java(431): HttpURLConnection
httpConn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
com\google\gdata\client\http\HttpGDataRequest.java(320):
HttpURLConnection uc = (HttpURLConnection)
requestUrl.openConnection();
The modified code looks like this:
// Open connection
HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
if ( urlConnection instanceof HttpsURLConnection ) {
HttpsURLConnection ucs = (HttpsURLConnection) urlConnection;
ucs.setHostnameVerifier( new X509HostnameVerifier(){
@Override
public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) {
return true;
}
@Override
public void verify(String arg0, SSLSocket arg1) throws IOException {
}
@Override
public void verify(String arg0, X509Certificate arg1)
throws SSLException {
}
@Override
public void verify(String arg0, String[] arg1, String[]
arg2) throws SSLException {
}
});
}
I have only tested this using PicasawebService.setUserCredentials and
it passed the verification step without any problems.
I have not tested this extensively and do not plan to maintain it.
If you wish to use it do so at your own leisure/risk ;-P

[android-developers] Re: hooking to the PHONE button
Now you're just arguing semantics.
I never said he could steal it, that would be quite a stupid thing for the
OS to allow.
Registering for that Intent allows him to do what he wants in the context of
when he is allowed to do it.
Therefore it answers his question (or at least gets him as close as he is
ever going to get)

It's not the same, you can't steal it from everyone. This only

Does Android support this type of transaction (i.e. lite version)? I don't recall seeing anything in the API about this. Of course I can just disable parts of the app, but how would the user upgrade to the full version? Am I making to much out of this, will it all make sense come Monday morning?

But here is a question for all you developers like us who are hoping to make some revenue off months of hard work. Does the API currently support a way to make our applications trial software? That is, making them free until March 1st or some other date, at which time the user will have to pay? Obviously getting on the phone and receiving user reviews is extremely important, but giving away all of our hard work just seems wrong. I have read that over 1 million people have pre-ordered the phone, that is a lot of free software giveaways.. What is everyone else doing? Waiting? Sayhing the heck with it and deploying? Just looking for some advice. Kevin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Detecting new media
Is there any elegant way in the API for detecting new media when it is written to the device? I'm mainly interested in photos taken by the camera, video taken by the camera and audio recorded from the mic. My current thinking is to periodically scan each media content provider and filter based on last scan time. I'm just wondering if there is some service I can hook into to get realtime notifications.

[android-developers] MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.IS_PRIVATE
The API docs describe this field as: Whether the video should be published as public or private Can anyone provide more detail on what this column is intended for and how it gets set? I am thinking of capturing camera shutter events to send notifications which ask the user whether they wish an image to be private or not. But im not sure if it is appropriate to use (hijack) this column. If it is not appropriate to use this column is there any possibilty to add to the image columns or would i need to maintain my own database which ties an image id to my own privacy flag?

[android-developers] Re: If delete R.java, how how can recover it?
If you build the app through ant rather than the eclipse UI does it recreate R.java? On Oct 22, 2008, at 10:11 AM, misbell wrote: No one answered this question. Build Automatically is checked in Eclipse. Still doesn't regenerate R.java. (Ganymede). Also, whenit existed, I made a change to main.xml, r.java was NOT regenerated. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with my manifest file. The app ran perfectly before I dared to alter the XML. This is flakey beyond belief. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
