[android-developers] Re: onAppWidgetOptionsChanged - What do the size bounds actually mean?
Ok, answering my own question. :) The anomaly is due to landscape. A 2x2 widget that looks approximately square on a portrait screen looks shorter and much wider in landscape mode, as it has to fit a shorter and wider screen orientation. So in the landscape situation: The actual widget WIDTH in pixels corresponds exactly to OPTION_APPWIDGET_MAX_WIDTH * screen density. The actual widget HEIGHT in pixels corresponds exactly to OPTION_APPWIDGET_MIN_HEIGHT * screen density. So the ranges seem to be covering the maximum and minimum dimensions possible for both orientations. Would be nice if the docs could make that clear.

[android-developers] Re: Tying a live wallpaper to home screen swipes
This entirely depends on what Home Screen Launcher you are using. On earlier phones, up to around the Samsung S2, the default installed Home Screen indeed provided such callbacks to the Live Wallpaper. Under those home screens, a standard static wallpaper would also scroll in response to swipes between pages. On more recent phones, the default home screens are treating the pages like a cylinder rather than a sheet, so as you scroll past the left-most page, it jumps to the right-most page. So you can keep swiping pages and end up when you started, on the original page. Under that paradigm, scrolling the wallpaper (static or otherwise) in response to swipes becomes more difficult, because there is an obvious jarring effect as you jump from the far left of the background image to the far right. The S2 did it like that, and it was noticeably weird. So modern phones homescreens have changed to simply not provide the onOffsetChanged callbacks at all to live wallpapers, and a static wallpaper doesnt respond to page swipes also. I guess that is what is happening on your device, I assume the a static background wallpaper isnt scrolling in response to swipes? If you try another Home Screen such as Go Launcher, you will see the callbacks working, as they havent implemented the cylinder page paradigm. But that doesnt solve your problem, because basically as it stands you can't guarantree that a particular user has a homescreen that supports onOffsetChanged, so you will need to find another UI method to change the wallpaper. How about shaking? That is independent of the home screen and the vast majority of phones these days have motion detection, but is not so useful for tablets.

[android-developers] Re: Problem with layout_above in conjunction with layout_alignBaseline
Thanks, Piren. Unfortunately none of that helps, as sometimes you really need things to work as they should. In my case it is A and B that are fixed, and C has to depend on them. I resorted to messing about with Font Metrics, working out manual displacements based on font size, which is pretty messy. Honestly I don’t see why this should be a dependency issue, when layout_alignBottom which does exactly the same thing (but without the vertical offset) works fine, C happily sits above B if B is aligned to A's bottom, rather than its baseline. However, that led me to find a little quirk, if you align B to A using simultaneous layout_alignBottom and layout_alignBaseline flags, then C’s positioning now works, it happily sits above B exactly as if just layout_alignBottom was being used, although B is still aligned to A’s baseline. The caveat is that C’s positioning is sligthty lower than normal; it behaves as if the B is aligned to A’s bottom, then C is positioned, and then B is realigned to A’s baseline, without C changing position. However I can get round that with some margin offsets, and at least it can be done via XML. On Tuesday, May 21, 2013 11:37:51 PM UTC+8, Piren wrote: I'm not too sure why this is happening... i'm guess that alignBaseline affects measuring differently and causes a cyclic dependency (Romain?) Try changing the relationships so you'll define A and B Below C instead, since C has a constant location anyhow. Also if your View hierarchy isnt too complex and wouldn't need to be refreshed too often, you can let yourself use more ViewGroups (use a linearlayout to divide the top and the bottom views)... Although that increases the amount of views you have and makes the rendering tree bigger, it will be easier for you to read the XML and understand the behavior and also prevent this weird behavior.

[android-developers] Re: Android pics inverted when taking with front camera (started via intent)
When you are taking photos of yourself in the front camera, people naturally expect to see the same as if they look in a mirror, so the preview is flipped horizontally. Writing is reversed etc. When the photo is taken, it then takes the real image, without the flipping, so you dont get reversed writing. So it is the preview that is wrong, not the final image.

sure most of you guys are already aware of it but in case if anyone

From couple of months, I have been marketing my blogs through GOOGLE
GROUPS. Marketing blogs via groups is a good and free of cost idea but
it will take a lot of time, you need to hire staff or otherwise you
auto-posting bots to do so but auto-bots will make it spamming. Well,
here is how I am doing it and driving instant traffic – I got 15 gmail
accounts and each account has 200 groups. I use tools like iMacro/
Robomaker to post a single message with spinning text at all of these
groups, so how many members I approach, let’s say 15*200*150=450,000
members. (Actually, there are more members than that!). I know your
next question would be about moderated groups, well, yes some of
groups are moderated and may allow the post to be published if they
like it anyhow, who cares, at-least I am having 300k members in half-
an-hour. Good enough for free!
Is it spamming?
Well, in first thought YES it is – spamming includes duplicate content
in every single post but what IF it is UNIQUE or different every time?
See, I use advanced spinning techniques every time before any post,
making it look bit different or sometimes truly unique, just to make
Google thinks I am not spamming.
I have been using this approach from lots of month and I know how much
effective it is, I am trying to add more and more groups in my lists
with higher member base. If you guys out there aren’t using this
technique yet, go ahead, I’m sure you will have better results like
me. I won’t share my email but if you like, I got Robomaker bots
available for sale – all you have to do is make emails, join groups
and put them in a csv file at your desktop and let the bot now the
path then put subject line and message in the bot and execute it.

[android-developers] Re: Application is launching when i just unlock on the emulator
Probably because Eclipse is by default setup to build and then launch
your app on the any available targets, which will include your
emulator. So you will maka a change in your code, hit Run, and it will
build the app, deploy it to the emulator, and then automatically
launch your default activity. This is entirely normal behaviour.
Once you exit your app, then as you say you can go into it again, via
your launcher button, which is what is expected.
So probably you just didn't realise that when you hit Run in Eclipse
it also launches your app after updating it.

[android-developers] Re: Avoiding FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION error when updating lots of widget bitmaps

And as the OP did, I'm using RemoteViews.setImageViewUri() to set my image on the appwidget. However I noticed that my image is being scaled according to the screen density. So, for example, on an XHDPI screen, if I have a bitmap which is 100x100 and I set it using setImageViewBitmap() I get the image to look as 100x100. However, if I store that bitmap into a png on disk, and then use setImageViewUri() my bitmap is displayed as 50x50. Do you know if there is a way to change this behavior? (i.e. if my image is 100x100 I'd like it to remain 100x100 also after it is decoded). Maybe there is a way to force some density on the ImageView itself?

[android-developers] Pitfalls of sharing app data between users
I have an app where you can save the state into a custom file and share with another user of the same app. This saved state consists of several jpgs and a text file, archived into a single zip file. When the user wants to share, they are prompted with the usual chooser which supports the Send action for the file type. The most obvious and useful choice will be as an email attachment, but I am not restricting it to that. Then I register my app for Viewing or Opening that file type so another user can open the received file in my app. All well and good, my problem is the MIME type I choose for the attached zip file, and the resultant behaviour when sharing. The obvious candidate is to use the application/zip MIME type. The problem is that while this works fine on the default android mail app it is not supported by Gmail or the default Samsung email app, any zip file attachment recieved on those mail clients simply won't open. It seems to be a recognized issue with Gmail, has anyone any experience to the contrary? Samsung support have acknowledged it is an issue with their email client, in fact they only support text, image and media files as email attachments. With Samsung being the major player it is and the Gmail app being so popular, that gives me a bit of a problem! It seems wrong to provide a feature which will not work on many (if not most!) devices. My lesser of two evils approach is then to keep my zip file format, but change the MIME type when sharing so that it will work in more email clients. Changing to the Text/Plain format and registering for this type works on all email clients I have tried, with some caveats. For example, K9 will only send it if the file has a .txt extension. That approach has its own set of issues: Firstly when sharing I get a lot of potential candidates for the Text/ Plain type which are not really appropriate such as Twitter, Facebook, Messaging, WhatsApp etc. They don't attach the file but consume it as text. Is there a way to restrict it to apps which are actually going to attach it or send it on as is? I guess not, but I'll ask anyway. For what its worth, here is my sharing code. Intent myMessageIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); myMessageIntent.setType(text/plain); Uri fileUri =Uri.fromFile(mytemporaryfile); myMessageIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, fileUri); myMessageIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, title); myMessageIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, Attached: xxx); startActivityForResult(myMessageIntent ,EMAIL_PRESET); Secondly, as I am now registering for the text/plain type, I can potentially receive all types of text data which my app is not interested in. Unfortunately I can't do much about that, apart from perhaps maybe using a custom file extension and checking for that, but I have to keep it as .txt if I want it to work in K9. Obviously I elegantly handle the situations where it receives which is not originally sourced from my app, but it is still a poor user experience. So I seem to be between a rock and a hard place. A. If I use anything but text, image or media MIME types, many email clients won't open the attachment. B. If I fake one of these standard MIME types then email clients work, but all sorts of non-relevant apps can share my attachment, and I am registered for all receiving all data of that type, not just mine. C. If I use a custom MIME type then it solves B, but then they wont open in email clients, so I am back to A. At the moment it looks like I am stuck with B, with the poor user experience that entails. So is there a better approach? How does everyone else handle this, it can't be that unusual a requirement, can it?

[android-developers] Re: Pitfalls of sharing app data between users
Hi Mark Sorry if I wasn't clear. I am indeed registering for the action.VIEW and category.BROWSABLE intents for the application/zip type. And in that situation, zip files open into my app perfectly from file managers, perfectly under the stock Android email app, perfectly on HTC's email app. Just not on 'mail app, and not on the Gmail app. If I use the web browswer and navigate to the Gmail website, I can download them and they open into my app just fine. So it is definitely a mail client specific issue. Other zip viewer apps in the market exhibit exactly the same behaviour as my app when trying to open zip files from mail clients, so I don't think it is an issue at my end. I guess I am just surprised that it was so difficult to do something as simple as sharing an object using an industry standard file format, support for which is (after all) built into the OS. I suppose in the long term, having a custom data type which is only registered for my app is a better UI experience for the user, but it looks like at the moment it is simply not possible to share that sort of thing using standard options like email.

[android-developers] ImageView memory use versus displayed Bitmap size

Is the behaviour the same for background images on other types of views? I am trying to avoid Dalvik Out Of Memory errors so I am wondering whether it is worth using smaller bitmap sizes for my resources and stretching them to fit the views, or whether it is the final size of the view which determines the amount of bitmap memory used at run time.

[android-developers] Re: Android fragmentation study
Thanks Dianne, for such a detailed answer. I understand the limitations you describe, both of the Compatibility process and AppWidgets themselves. The use case of animations here could be considered trivial, but I do think it adds tremendous perceived value to an app. Consider a simple Gallery widget, which toggles between a range of the users pre- selected images every few seconds. An alpha animation which fades in the new image instead of simply replacing it gives a lot of polish and wow factor. Without that animation, it still works, as you point out, but in my particular case, the animations themselves are really part and parcel of my app, it being a Weather Widget which has the unique selling point of being fully animated. With the animation stripped out, the USP is lost. I guess it then comes down to where you draw the line on retaining functionality, from my point of view the animation is part of the functionality, as it is the raison d'etre of the app... As the animations are fully valid and supported by the SDK, I would argue that moving forward they should be a part of the CTS, notwithstanding the difficulty of actually testing that! But wouldn't that same difficultly be present testing that the particular implementation supported animations on normal views and layouts within Activities? I guess you are right and I just lucked out here, the full OpenGL Samsung homescreen sounds like the most likely root of the problem. I logged the issue with Samsung development team, and they reproduced it and marked it for further action in a future firmware, so let's hope that in ICS it is fixed in their homescreen. Anyway thanks again for taking the time to reply and for filing this for future investigation, I appreciate it.

On the latest Samsung Tablets (e.g. Tab 7 Plus) the LayoutAnimation on AppWidgets doesn't work in their TouchWiz homescreen. From the log cat it seems they are deliberately stripping them out. This works perfectly in AppWidgets in the emulator from all APIs since 1.5, and on most other realworld devices. However, if I install another Homescreen app on the Tablet such as Go Launcher, the AppWidgets are fine and display the LayoutAnimations correctly. Hm, that is certainly unfortunate. I can imagine good reasons for this -- for example if their home screen is all implemented in OpenGL, they would need to render the app widgets into a separate texture and draw them to the screen with that. This would make executing animations and such in them pretty problematic. I'll file an issue for this to have it investigated. So it their Touchwiz homescreen covered by the CTS, or do they pass because their underlying Android implementation supports it, as shown by Go Launcher, and it is just my tough luck that their particular Home Screen is not fully featured? Well to be honest it is hard for CTS specifically to cover this kind of thing, because it is pretty unclear how to write an API unit test that is able to verify that some other application is performing the animation on the screen. However, the overall CDD covers a lot of things -- for example if you look athttp://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/s... there is section 3.8.1 on app widgets, with the relevant requirement being: Device implementations MAY substitute an alternative to the reference Launcher (i.e. home screen). Alternative Launchers SHOULD include built-in support for AppWidgets, and expose user interface affordances to add, configure, view, and remove AppWidgets directly within the Launcher.Alternative Launchers MAY omit these user interface elements; however, if they are omitted, the device implementation MUST provide a separate application accessible from the Launcher that allows users to add, configure, view, and remove AppWidgets. Device implementations must be capable of rendering widgets that are 4 x 4 in the standard grid size. (See the App Widget Design Guidelines in the Android SDK documentation [Resources, 18] for details. So I think technically right now there is nothing wrong with not showing animations, as long as the app widget is still functional. It is worth considering whether this requirement should be more specific... though to be honest, this may just become irrelevant since with 4.0 the UI is all hardware accelerated so there would be little benefit anymore to use OpenGL to implement launcher (if that is what
[android-developers] Re: Android fragmentation study
Hi Mark, Yes, I understand that this is the position I am in, and I have to adapt to that. My point was more that although there is no explicit law requiring home screens to support animations, from my reading of the CTD there is also no explicit law requiring views in normal Activities to support animations, but I think there would be a lot of complaints from developers if those kind of animations suddenly stopped working in the latest handsets. But having said that I realise I am on shaky ground here... as we are talking about homescreen apps which are not part of the framework per se. However, from the user's point of view (who I would guess in 99% of cases use the Home screen which came with their phone), it is part of the framework, they would naturally think it is due to that phones implementation of Android, rather than understanding it is the Home screen app itself.

Comparing handset differences with browser difference is just absurd. How many browser versions are there? Five maybe six? An average Android app has to deal with over 600 different devices today. That's a difference of 100x. This number is also growing at an exponential rate, so even if you can manage to test on all of those devices, in three months you'll probably have to do the same number again. What you're apparently not appreciating is that unlike the PC/Mac world, the Android world lacks strong compatibility standards and more importantly, conformance testing. As a consequence, devices tend to have niggling and chronic differences that in aggregate make for an inconsistent and unstable feel for the platform. You really have to have a very large operation or have a very unambitious app to make an app with long reach in the Android world. By contrast, the Apple approach is that one size fits all. From a small or independent developers perspective this really is preferable, because you know if you test it and it works on one device it's going to work on all of them, and there are millions of them out there. You simply don't have that guarantee in Android. It's no accident that the most profitable app market is to be found on Apple devices. Don't get me wrong. I'm not an Apple fan.

Thanks, Zsolt, that's interesting. But I don't really get it. Surely it is up to the developer to ensure that he is backwardly compatible? Or in this case, forwardly compatible?

No different from me making a v18, I need to ensure its compatible with all previous versions, because fot example the user could still be on v14.
