[android-developers] Re: Updating the Call Log.
I don't know if it would work to update the call log on a stock
android version without having a contact. What I do know is that the
HTC Sense devices are buggy and you can't do updates and inserts
properly even if you DO have the contact. That happens not only on the
Desire but all devices with HTC Sense that I've tested so far.

Hello, I have the same problem too. When I add a call to the calllog

Did you solved it? how?

Hello. I'm trying to update the CalLog to change the name/cached name
of an entry. I have successfully updated a row but once i go into
thecalllogon my phone the displayed name is removed after a short
moment. I figured this is because the number of the incoming called is
not found in any of the contacts. But why would it then clear the
cached name that is in theLog?
If the number is not in contacts thecalllogshould display the
cached name without trying to refresh it? Atleast that's the behaviour
I expect.
So, my question is: Is it possible to add a name to an incoming number
to display in thecalllogwithout adding the number and name to the
contact list? I've figured it should be possible to add the contact
first, then mark it as removed and thus get it displayed in thecalllogbut
that seems like a stupid work-around.

[android-developers] Re: how to detect if a phone is running HTC sense UI
Given that the CallLog is I believe a public API, the manufacturer breaking it makes it not CTS compatible and they need to fix it. You should very much treat this as a bug with HTC's device and push to have that fixed. One thing you could do is file a bug in the bug tracker with sample code showing the problem. Even better would be to contribute a patch to CTS that ensures the API is working correctly, so this won't break in the future. Great! I'll look into that. Are you talking about the API to intercept outgoing calls? If so, again it's a public API that if broken makes the device not CTS compatible. I am surprised about this one since Google Voice relies on it so it seems like I would have already heard about any significant issue in this area. Yes, it's exactly the API to intercept outgoing calls. Although it works well on most devices, some have very strange issues. I found out that on Motorola devices, for example, it will work perfectly if you don't set a priority on the intent filter for the NEW_OUTGOING_CALL action. If you do set the priority the problem becomes intermittent (tried it with several different values). Some users will report it working well and others with the same exact device will report it not working at all (I had access to a device in which it didn't work and found no other software that could be causing a conflict). As for the HTC Desire with Android 2.2, it's a mystery to me. I had reports of older versions of my app working on it and then not working anymore after a reinstall. Newer versions didn't work at all. My app displays the number being dialed on a toast right before returning from the broadcast call. The number displayed on the toast is always the exact same as set on the call to setResultData() (I even declared the variable as final to make sure I wasn't changing it) and still the number won't change (even though returning null does cancel the call). I have no idea what to make of it and had to use a workaround in which I cancel the call and make a new call. I'd really like to be able to file a bug report on this but I have no idea what's causing it or how to reproduce the problem with 100% certainty on any device. As I said before it might not be a Sense UI specific problem (I have an HTC Hero and never had any issues with that). If I had a device that had this problem maybe I could dig a bit deeper. There are a few users willing to run some tests that I send them but I think I've already pushed their patience a little too much ;). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Detect weather a phone is rooted or not
Maybe you can test for the presence of the su command. It would just be as simple as testing if the file /system/xbin/su exists but I'm not sure how reliable that would be. Another possibility is to check for the presence of /system/app/Superuser.apk, but I also don't know how reliable that would be. I wouldn't recommend having different behavior on your app based on that unless you intend to write an app that requires root functionality. Not everyone that roots their phone are pirates. There are still plenty of legitimate reasons for people to root their phones, especially if their phones are not running Froyo (which contains features that root users have had for a while). If you want to protect your app use LVL as Miguel said. On Nov 1, 1:42 pm, Tejas tej...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I would like to find out in my application if the phone is rooted or not.

0 (CONTENT_URI) in Landroid/provider/ContactsContract$CommonDataKinds$Phone;
ContactsContract is an Android 2.0 class. It won't work on earlier
versions. I have an app that uses the contacts API also and solve the
problem with something like this:
public abstract class ContactManager {
public static ContactManager getContactManager(){
if(version = 2.0) {
return new EclairContactManager();
}
else return new CupcakeContactManager();
}
}
So I implement the EclairContactManager and CupcakeContactManager
classes with their respective API calls.
It works fine on any android version = 1.5
Note that there are absolutely no API calls in this abstract class so
there is no risk of it trying to link to a non-existent class.

[android-developers] Re: Detecting area code
GPS position is a bit overkill and I don't think my users would really be happy with my app doing that. I do like the idea of running in the background and using the last-known (cell tower) coordinates. I'm just affraid many users might not have a data plan and so the coordinates can get easily outdated if they don't connect to wi-fi with a certain frequency. The whole point of having this feature is for the users that travel a lot and there is a good chance that they won't have open wi-fi available just anywhere.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with interecepting outgoing calls on HTC Desire
Agreed. Billas' solution is a very good one and there's no real difference to the user, visual or otherwise. I didn't think it would work so well until I actually implemented it. I also don't think that we can rely on HTC to fix it. Since its the only device that seems to have such a problem I decided to detect the HTC Desire instead of adding a flag to the app. If I start getting reports from other devices the solution will definitely be to add a flag. As I said previously I started having the same problem with some Motorola devices but removing the priority setting has fixed it and since there is no real need for my app to run at a specific priority I left it out for good. On Oct 7, 11:41 am, felix felixwal...@gmail.com wrote: I got to borrow a HTC desire 2.2 today and I tested my application on that device for first time. I obviously found the same problem. I can confirm that setting the priority to 0, 1 or removing it doesn't effect the outcome for me. Current solution fix I have in place is the one Billias wrote. Just cancel the broadcast and launch a new Intent. This however doesn't feel right and could likely screw some other applications over that also react to outgoing calls. If this indeed is HTC's fault, I guess there will be no fix done to it for a very long time, if ever.

[android-developers] Re: how to detect if a phone is running HTC sense UI
I would really like to know why people want to know they are running with
Sense UI. Is it just for notifications? Are there other things?
Yes, there are. The Sense UI changes some of the API's behavior. I
know of two things that work differently on Sense UI. Both of them
have to do with my app, which changes the number being dialed.
1) The call log won't allow updates. It strangely allows inserts but
even though it lets you insert the phone number dialed it won't allow
you to also insert the display name (if you do it stays as unknown
and looks really awkward). I opened a discussion about this a while
back and didn't realize back then that it only happened on Sense UI
phones. Some people argued that you shouldn't touch the call log (even
though there's nothing about that in the documentation). On the
emulator and on non-Sense UI devices it works flawlessly (at leas on
all of those that I've tested so far). My app need this to keep the
original dialed number in the call log. In this case, when running
Sense UI it's better not to touch the call log that to touch it and
have it look awkward.
2) In particular HTC Desire with Android 2.2 won't allow you to change
the number being dialed.
(see thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/1e23230cfaae5038/3fd980598e78c479?lnk=gstq=desire+2.2)
I do admit that in this case I'm not completely sure it's a Sense UI
problem (I've seen it happen on Motorola devices but it was an easy
fix, removing the priority setting from the Intent). I also had
reports from Desire 2.2 users that had this working and one day, it
just stopped to never work again.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with interecepting outgoing calls on HTC Desire
Anyone had any progress or ideas with this?
It's a bit hard to test it when you don't have the device.
Anyway, I got two reports from Motorola users with the same problem...
but the interesting thing is they only started having any problems
after upgrading to my app's latest version.
It occurred to me that the phone might have a limit to the time it
waits for a response from the app (since my latest version does a few
extra things before dialing) but I wrote a special super fast test
version for one of the users and it still didn't work. Also I tried it
on my HTC Hero making the phone wait 10 seconds but it worked fine,
which means that's probably not the problem.
Nicholas, you said you had the Desire with 2.2. Have you tried playing
with the intent filter's priority values? Maybe using 1 or 0 or even
removing the priority parameter altogether? That would be my next
hunch.

I'm trying to find out exactly which change made the difference (both

sent him a changed version to test it. If I find out anything I'll
post it here, but don't hold your breath.. he's not very responsive.
The workaround placing a new Intent seems reasonable in these cases. I
think I'll add an option in my app for people having this issue though
it's awful that I even have to think about doing that. One would think
a company like HTC would test the whole API before releasing a new ROM
(after all they sure take their time to do it).

[android-developers] Re: New countries !!!!
I just registered here in Brazil. It links to your AdSense account so
you can receive the payments. I thought it was a pretty clever way to
do it, using the existing AdSense system so they wouldn't have to
implement payment systems for every country. Maybe the restrictions to
Czech Republic and Poland have something to do with the availability
of AdSense in those countries (can anyone from those countries
enlighten us?).
It's lame, but having 20 additional countries selling apps is a pretty
big deal (from the handful that there was before) and I'm sure they'll
continue expanding, especially with Android's increased growth in
market share.

[android-developers] Additional countries for paid apps
I just received an e-mail from the Android Market that I'm sure all of you also received (or will receive shortly). It says that in the next few weeks they will be adding paid apps support for additional countries. Can anyone at Google share which countries are these or is it a secret until the day comes? Also does anyone know if the paid apps support only means more countries being able to buy apps or does it also mean that more countries will be able to sell apps? There is a huge difference and I, as a developer in a country that can't sell apps, am looking very much forward to being able to sell apps (as I'm sure many of you are too).

[android-developers] Re: Android Emulator vs iPhone emulator (Why does it take so long)
I guess the emulator's problem could be solved with some sort of save state feature so you can just start up the emulator with the saved state and not have to go through the entire android boot process.

I wish google did something like this for Android 3.0. This requires building the entire platform to run as native code on the host machine, as well as compiling a different version of the app if it has native code to run on the host. This is not going to happen any time soon. In fact you can build a simulator version of Android that runs on Linux. Ultimately though this is not very useful for app development because it has low fidelity with the real platform -- it can't use separate processes for each app, etc. Also being able to build a simulator that runs on Windows or Mac would be *extremely* challenging. It is not too bad on a Linux desktop, because Android is based on Linux. However making it run on another kernel would mean introducing a very significant compatibility layer across some large section of user space to allow it to run on these very different kernels. You'll notice that the iPhone simulator only runs on Mac. I don't think the significant effort to get a production quality Android simulator, that ends up only being able to run on Linux, would be anywhere near worth the effort. Also, as has been pointed out, you should only need to boot the emulator once. After that you keep it running and just reinstall your app on it... just like working with a device. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

So, essentially, you can't use it? What would be an allowed use of PayPal's library according to the Market's TOS? I live in a country where Google doesn't allow me to sell apps on the Market. I was thinking of using PayPal's solution as an alternative so the user could do an in-app upgrade from a demo version. If that's not allowed then maybe I shoudn't be developing for Android.

There are also 100 million users that access FaceBook through their mobile device, so it's a great community to sell Android applications into. It's also a great way to interact with your user base. When you click on an app, you see a picture of the dev (with a link to their facebook page), giving it far more of a personal feel. Users can see these are real people. A face to the apps. And my feeling is that the feedback will be far more constructive when they see it's not some faceless entity. One complaint I've heard from devs is they can't communicate with their user base if they find a bug and need to head off the stem of bad reviews or if they get a bad review because the user doesn't understand the product. With Zapp you can go in and see who left a comment or who bought your apps (with a link to their page) and address things quickly.

Hated the 'login in' screen before you could see anything at all - at least they've moved away from that. BUT, now that Google has shown itself far less International than I would have ever suspected prior to Android app development (re: the hard limit to 9 seller countries), it puts facebook in a whole new light to me. It is effectively a very large social space that crossed those national boundaries that Google has stopped at the border of. So from a commercial point of view, it may well turn out to be the most International player at the top end of the service providers Good luck to you with it.

It has a dozen payment methods including paypal, google checkout, as well as an offer wall. Pretty much anyone, anywhere will be able to buy your app. You don't get the instant audience of Android Market but Zapp is a great way to build a community of users around your app. When Android Market finally comes to Ireland, you could already have a good user base built up.

[android-developers] Re: Accidentally made my paid app free
In your place I'd fight it a little and try to get someone at Google to change it back. If changing the name/package means it's an entirely new app, it also means that all those people who purchased your app would have to pay for it again if they ever have to reinstall or if they want to update to the latest version.

IOW, had a paid app already, then made it free, oops. I doubt he changed it to free on version 2.6 or something. I think he did. So I made my paid app free, not realizing that I wouldn't be able to change it back to paid.

[android-developers] Call Log on HTC Hero
Hi, I have an app that changes the number being called and updates the call log after the call to keep the original number. In the emulator (and on most devices) everything works fine but on the HTC Hero I can't seem to update the number in the Call Log. I run an update but nothing happens. Until recently I was using Android 1.5 on the Hero and I could work around this issue by deleting the log entry and creating a new one with all the same data, but after upgrading to 2.1 I can still delete the old entry but when I insert the new one the only info that gets inserted are the phone number, call type and time of call. The contact name and number type don't get saved and it always shows on the log as an unknown number. It sounds to me like HTC's sense UI breaks the call log somehow. Has anyone seen this issue and has a workaround for it? Or is there something I might be missing about the call log? Ultimately it's a database, right? So there must be a way to do it if I have access to the database. Thanks in advance, Denis Souza -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Call Log on HTC Hero
Ok, bad choice of words... still, I can generate requests to a the call log's content provider. Does that mean that HTC likely replaced the content provider with a buggy/restrictive version? If that's the case would there be another way to change that data without root access?

[android-developers] Changing the Caller ID
Hi, I'm trying to write a program that changes the incoming caller ID number to match exactly number in the phone's address book (since some carriers vary how they send the caller ID). I am receiving broadcasts for changes in phone state. I can get the caller ID number by checking the incoming_number extra that comes with the intent. However, when I change anything in the extra it raises an exception saying that I can't do that because I'm using a non-ordered broadcast receiver. The SDK docs say that if I use the android:priority attribute in the intent filter the broadcast will be ordered, but even when I do that, I always get a non-ordered broadcast. What could I be doing wrong? Below is the snippet from my manifest file: receiver android:name=.Update intent-filter android:priority=100 action android:name=android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / /intent-filter /receiver I tried setting the priority to 1 and to 100 but it still doesn't work.
