[android-developers] Bluetooth pair table size
I am writing an Android phone application that will only talk to one BLE device at a time. It will, however, be used over a wide physical area and there could be many paired/bonded devices, even if only one is accessed at a time. Is there a size limit to the table used to store information about these devices? Ed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Fork/Join and JSR166 on Android
Ratamovic: Why on earth would you want to use a dynamic decomposing framework in Android? These things only work well when there are many, many processors to handle the splits. Such a framework would kill a phone/tablet; you would process one task at the expense of everything else. If you're looking to split work into multiple threads, then there are products to do just that.

I have provided you three lines of code that works bad as the other primitives. Me neither, but you could be bandwidth limited for instance. Again, the CPU has nothing to do with performance of the GPU so this discussion is really not helpful. If your performance in software is good enough, there is no point in drawing a comparison with other devices that also run in software. Bandwidth? Have you ever thought on how much bandwidth have a feature phone? Why the software runs better on gingerbread? Sincerely I'm not satisfied with the performance I get on CPU neither because I can do better with other OS. Talking about CPU performance the software runs far better on Galaxy Note (Gingerbread 1280x800) than on Galaxy Nexus (ICS 1280x720). Why? This piece of code is exactly what I was talking about in previous message. Sending 640 rendering instructions to the GPU is extremely expensive. The CPU will perform a lot better at this. Changing this loop to a single drawLines() will likely fix the issue. A feature phone is able to do it, gingerbread is able to do it, why ICS do it slow? You know that that was only an example, in real life drawLine can't be replaced with drawLines at least not always. Again, the problem is that a GPU performs very differently from a CPU. Batching rendering operations is one of the best optimizations you can do when running on the GPU. In any case on the android documentation (API Level 11) I finded that drawLines() doesn't support antialiasing: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html why do you call this a bug? This documentation is out of date. Antialiasing is supported with drawLine() and drawLines() as of API level 12 or 13. Are you really asking to drop Level 11 support or double the code to draw some lines? Maybe it's not true, but I think that it seems to me (and I suspect many others on this list), that you fundamentally lack an understanding of the differences between CPUs and GPUs. For example, parallelizing the previous bit of code will *obviously* be better on a GPU because of the dispatch than multiple instances of drawLine(), and this isn't a point that make the perf bad: it's just bad coding. At *worst* you could argue that the compiler should somehow optimize this to a drawLines call and do some fancy loop transformation based on what it would know about the semantics of those functions and the trade offs you were willing to make. But the example you make seems a lot like a novice saying Android is slow, I'm reading a megabyte file and it's taking a few hundred milliseconds when they're doing multiple calls to read one byte... kris- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] strange difference between real phone and emulator on opening/playing sound file

Given this code MediaPlayer mpPop = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.pop); On the emulator all works as expected. On the phone itself if pop is pop.mp3 then MediaPlayer.create() returns null. If I choose pop.wav, then MediaPlayer.create() returns a non null instance but produces no sound. Note that I have several other mp3 and wav resources in my app that all open and play as expected on the phone and on the emulator. I even tried renaming pop something else thinking pop was some sort of keyword but still got same behavior. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Android 2.3 Vs 3.0
The phone and tablet source trees have diverged temporarily but it's expected that the I version of Android will bring them back together. The version number hasn't been decided - it might become 3.1 or 3.5 or something else - just not 3.0. So when somebody says Honeycomb is just for tablets and won't run on phones they're just saying that a particular version of Android is just for tablets. There will be lots of versions after Honeycomb. Apple did something similar with iOS - they had an iPad only release and then a few months later came back with a phone-only release and finally they had a converged release.

[android-developers] Re: Honeycomb SDK
Ok, so if 2.3.3 is API level 10, and 3.0 is API level 11, where would any future 2.x releases fit in? Will they be called API level 10, or 12, or will you start using fractional numbers somehow (currently the level has to be an int)? The answer affects how we should write apps that work across multiple versions. For example, suppose I want to use a method introduced in 3.0 and I check for Build.VERSION.SDK_INT = Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB. Is that always going to work? Or is it possible that the method will exist at SDK_INT == 11 but not at SDK_INT == 12? The alternatives would mean we'd have to start checking Build.CODENAME, INCREMENTAL, and RELEASE as well (yuck), or that reflection would be the only reliable way to check if a method or class exists. An easy fix, if there are going to be more 2.x releases, would be for you to use an API level number bigger than 11 for Android 3.0 to provide some room to grow. If there are not going to be any more 2.x releases then it won't matter.

One way around it would have classes of files e.g. Media, Cache, Applications, Settings The user could setup a shared set of settings to say Media goes on this SD card, Settings go on this SD card Then apps could say this file is of class Media.

This is my problem: I have two activities, pretty much the same layout, but the first one is using a ListView that holds a list of buttons. The second activity holds a scrollview with buttons. The rest is the same, same number of buttons, same height of elements, etc. (All elements fit on the screen, so actually the user doesn't need to scroll in the scrollview or listview.) Please see my screenshot to get an idea:http://i.imgur.com/UNXPz.png Now, when I press the search button to open the search input bar, in my first activity, the entire layouts gets moved up. While on the second activity, the layout is not being moved up but the softkeyboard just displays on top of it. This is actually how I want it to behave. How can I achieve the same with my activity that's using the ListView? In my manifest, initially I didn't specify any android:windowSoftInputMode attribute, but even if I do, it doesn't make any difference; I tried all three values (adjustPan, adjustResize, adjustUndefined, without any difference). This is my layout:http://i.imgur.com/UNXPz.png (I'm not posting any code here for now, I'm more interested generally how it's been exactly determined whether Android moves the layout up or just displays they softkeyboard right on top of the existing layout without moving it.) I couldn't find a specific logic that's been followed. When I reduce the number of buttons, when I even wrap the listView in a ScrollView (just for the sake of trying to see what's happening), the layout just won't stay fix. On the other hand then, I have activities in my app that contain only one large ListView, and on that one the layout also remains fixed. First I thought it's related to ListViews, but it seems not to. btw: nowhere in my manifest am I explicitly specifying the windowSoftInputMode attribute. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Bitmap mutability dependent on location
Hi all, Found a bit of a weird one which might be related to this post - http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/b0e2048495d61e0c I've check the public issue tracker for android and can't see anything related to this.

[android-developers] Re: Bitmap mutability dependent on location
Thanks Romain, Never thought I'd be worthy of a response from the man himself. The thing that had me stumped was it was working on some drawables but not others. I now have another issue with it... the reason I was having trouble was trying to use the ldpi/mdpi/hdpi assets. It now uses these assests and selects the correct one however it scales it as if it is an mdpi image. See this image: http://edschache.com/ldpi_hdpi_issue.png This was done by marking each png with it's size, creating a menuicon2 from the mdpi version and putting it in /drawable/. As you can see using the mdpi version results in the same size icon as the hdpi and ldpi icons. The same brush width was used for marking all 3 images. images: http://edschache.com/ldpi_menuicon.png http://edschache.com/mdpi_menuicon.png http://edschache.com/hdpi_menuicon.png Does this mean that I need to scale the images manually anyway? I was hoping that getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.menuicon) would automatically get the correct drawable at the correct scale per the info icon next to it. It selects the correct image but gets the scale wrong. The images in the various dpi folders are the correct resolution and .png format. For anyone else stuck on this here's the code that I got working to make the images drawable (still has the scaling issue): Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.menuicon); Bitmap bOriginal = ((BitmapDrawable) d).getBitmap(); Bitmap bMutable = bOriginal.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_, true); BitmapDrawable dMutable = new BitmapDrawable(bMutable); Canvas c = new Canvas(bMutable); //draw on canvas d.draw(c); mi.setIcon(dMutable); On Aug 30, 7:05 pm, Romain Guy romain...@android.com wrote: Mutating a drawable does not making the Bitmap it may contain mutable.

[android-developers] Re: Optimizing list view scroll
IMHO having a worker process is definitely worth the effort. It is a little daunting at first but once you get your head around it it's great fun to work on. If you write your image loader worker process in a well structured way then you will be able to reuse it from project to project. One day mine might reach a state where I'm happy to release it but I would want to use it on a few more projects first to ensure it's generic enough. Plus if I just gave you the code you wouldn't learn anything and you'd miss out on the feeling of success when it finally works at 3 o'clock in the morning. I suggest you read this short thread where I commented on SoftReference: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/614281daa12a3fd8 I would also suggest watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6YdwzAvwOA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDBM6wVEO70 Once you've done all that come up with a plan for handling a queue of requests (I used a PriorityQueue so I can fast track important images), caching images, returning the images to the caller...etc...

I already optimized each list item view as much as I could. Now I am facing with what's the best? Use one single view with many children for all items and hide and show various children depending on the item state. This way I do not inflate each item view as list is being scrolled but need to show and hide constantly various child views. Another approach is to build item view dynamically each time view is requested in the adapter getView method. In this case I can only add at run time those elements that are truly needed for current item state but this requires inflating item view every time. Finally the third approach is most extreme is to have one custom view and draw everything myself. This of cause

Hi everyone,
I have a strange issue. I am using KSOAP2 to create a soap request

The webservice basically queries a data base and takes the values from
the data reader and creates a string. This string is then returned.
When I run the webservice on my local machine(Without using android)
it works fine. When I run it from the webserver (still not android) it
works fine. When I call it from my phone however the line:
String hazards = (String)envelope.getResponse().toString(); //Get
response from .net Web service
Simply is filled with anyType{}.
Now if I go to the webservice and I manually type in the contents from
the database to represent what the string concatenation should be it
works perfectly. The line:
String hazards = (String)envelope.getResponse().toString(); //Get
response from .net Web service
Now returns the string value i need.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or know a better place
to ask this question?
As always thanks for your time and help

[android-developers] Re: Largest Android application?
Your best option is to try a higher compression rate on your mp3s. Most people are not going to listen to it through studio quality headphones, but rather through a crappy 1cm wide speaker on the back of the phone. Android also supports Ogg Vorbis, AMR-NB, and AMR-WB which might work better than mp3 for your speech. Or you could include your own codec (perhaps as native code) like Speex or iLBC. At 12kbits/second you could record 3.7 hours of fairly good quality speech in 20MB. Take a look (er, listen) at the samples at http://www.speex.org/samples/ .

[android-developers] Re: Socket Timout in a simple HttpGet
I've had similar issues. I guess the most obvious place to start is check that whatever you're calling is responding. It's surprising how often the simple things can trip you up. One of the issues was having was as a result of using a proxy to route all traffic so I could monitor network traffic. At one point I forgot to start the proxy and of course the connection didn't work. After about 2 hours I realized what the problem was and told myself I'd never work on stuff late at night again until the following night obviously - it's what geeks do. The other flakiness I've noticed with network requests seems to be related to having multiple network cards (real and virtual) and the way AVD's _apparently_ choose a connection at random. I'm not sure if this claim is true but disabling all my other network cards appears to have helped the situation. One final thing to check, if you're using Eclipse, is in Run Configurations where you can set a limited network speed for testing. It's easy to limit it to test something and then forget to remove the limit later.

[android-developers] Re: How to create new page / form
I think we're possibly overlooking the simplicity of the question (I may be wrong). My assumption is that the page you are referring to is the first screen you see (main.xml). In your code at the moment you have a Class that extends Activity. In this class you will have a method called onCreate that is calling something like: setContentView(R.layout.main); If you want another screen: 1. create a new layout in /res/layout (e.g. myLayout.xml) 2. create a new class that extends Activity (e.g. MyActivity) 3. in the onCreate of MyActivity add setContentView(R.layout.myLayout); 4. in AndroidManifest.xml inside the application node add activity android:name=.MyActivity/activity (NB: there is a full-stop before the class name) 5. in the onClick of your button in your original activity (the one that calls setContentView(R.layout.main); and has the button) call startActivity(new Intent(this, MyActivity.class)); 6. run it and hopefully it will work.

[android-developers] Re: Problem
It sounds like you're trying to dynamically inflate an xml layout and
run dynamic code.
XML Layout:
Android doesn't support the use of dynamic xml layouts:
“The view hierarchy inflation (and many other things that use XML
resources) relies on
the preprocessing performed by the resource compiler when
building the application.
They can not be used with plain XML files.
It would certainly be nice to be able to inflate from raw XML
files, but there is no
plan to do this any time soon due to the effort involved and that
it is questionable
whether the performance would be acceptable.”
Code:
Android is using compiled java. As it is not an interpreted language
you will not be able to use approaches available in other languages
e.g. Javascript's exec()
I've spent a fair bit of time looking at this problem myself and
basically the most viable solution is to come up with your own
simplified subset of layout commands and use these to dynamically add
views to a placeholder. As for the running of code again you need to
come up with a simplified set of changes you might want to make on the
fly e.g. what method to call onClick for button X.
I have considered writing a generic reusable solution to this very
problem but I think the subset of language components for both views
and code would be hard to define for unknown applications.

[android-developers] Re: get favicon from sites
String url = http://blah.com/favicon.ico;; DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(request.url); HttpResponse httpResponse = client.execute(httpGet); InputStream is = (java.io.InputStream) httpResponse.getEntity().getContent(); Drawable image = Drawable.createFromStream(is,src); use the Drawable as you see fit.

[android-developers] Re: What is the best way to handle Images?
if you are hanging onto a copy of the images have a look at SoftReference e.g. SoftReferenceBitmap myImage; This will automatically handle releasing the Bitmap if it's not in use or is taking up too much room. If you have a set of images the best approach is a hash map where the url of the image is the key. This might help - http://code.google.com/p/android-pinch/source/browse/trunk/src/com/nikkoaiello/mobile/android/WebImageView.java?r=7 Also try some housekeeping things like closing any streams.

[android-developers] Inflate view from XMLPullParser or other external source
I want to dynamically pull in a layout from an external source. As discussed in this thread from September 2009 - http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/bfec246d0537ec6b/6c31a85779d86a3e?lnk=gstq=inflate+from+xmlpullparser#6c31a85779d86a3e I am wondering if the situation has changed since this discussion or if it is likely to change. I understand the need to use pre-compiled xml layouts so if there is an option to dynamically pull in a layout that is already compiled that would be fine. Basically I want a setup where I can change a view layout without an app update. The elements within the view would be fairly static (e.g. there will be 2 buttons call foo and bar that fire fooOnClick and barOnClick). The only work around I can think of is a custom scripting language that allows the definition of views that are created from code. Ideally this would parse the same xml as a standard layout. Obviously this would involve a lot of code and probably be fairly slow. Button btnFoo = new Button(); btnFoo.setText(foo); dynamicLayout.addView(btnFoo); If this is the only option at least the EdsMagicLayoutInflater class would be reusable across projects.

Hi All, I eventually solved this. What I was missing was the mapping on the envelope. I had seen this in examples but mistakingly assumed that this was for handling the response and that it wouldn't effect the request. The below line of code solved my problem and now all is well. envelope.addMapping(request.getNamespace(), MyRequestClass, MyRequestClass.class); No doubt I'll have move questions as soon as I have more time to work on the app. Ed On Jun 8, 11:15 am, Ed edscha...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I believe I'm having the same problem as Rahul.

[android-developers] Updating the UI in response to a received broadcast.
I have an app with an activity and a service. The service schedules a
function to run using timer.scheduleAtFixedRate. When the timer task
runs, I want to update some TextView objects in the Activity's UI, so
that the user knows that the service has run, and the last thing it
did.
So in the timer task I do:
Intent intent = new
Intent(com.edgreenberg.TextMessageServer.UPDATE_SCREEN);
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(/MM/dd
HH:mm:ss);
Date date = new Date();
intent.putExtra(time, dateFormat.format(date));
intent.putExtra(numberMsgs,numberMsgs);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Then, in the activity, I created:
private int numMsgs1;
private String dateTime1;
public class CustomBroadCast extends BroadcastReceiver {
public CustomBroadCast(){
}
/**
* @see
android.content.BroadcastReceiver#onReceive(Context,Intent)
*/
//public static final String TAG = CustomBroadCast;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getAction().equals(com.edgreenberg.TextMessageServer.UPDATE_SCREEN))
{
Log.i(INFORMATION,Broadcasting message);
dateTime1 = intent.getStringExtra(time);
numMsgs1 = intent.getIntExtra(numberMsgs, 0);
// gotta get this to the gui thread somehow.
handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
}
}
}
Now, where it says gotta get this to the gui thread somehow is where
I previously did dateTime.setText(dateTime1), but according to what I
read, that shouldn't work. And it doesn't :)
So I sent the empty message using the handler, as shown below:
private Handler handler = new Handler() {
@Override
public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
final TextView dateTime,numMsgs;
dateTime = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.datetime);
numMsgs = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.numMsgs);
dateTime.setText(dateTime1);
numMsgs.setText(numMsgs1);
}
};
Now this, I expect to work. It doesn't. The screen stays mute. In
fact, the debugger tells me that:
Thread [3 main] (Suspended (exception Resources$NotFoundException))
Resources.getText(int) line: 205
TextView.setText(int) line: 2809
TextMessageControlPanel$1.handleMessage(Message) line: 38
TextMessageControlPanel$1(Handler).dispatchMessage(Message) line: 99
Looper.loop() line: 123
ActivityThread.main(String[]) line: 4203
Method.invokeNative(Object, Object[], Class, Class[], Class, int,
boolean) line: not available [native method]
Method.invoke(Object, Object...) line: 521
ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run() line: 791
ZygoteInit.main(String[]) line: 549
NativeStart.main(String[]) line: not available [native method]
It feels like something is out of scope, but I'm not java-literate
enough to tell what.
My handler, CustomBroadCast class, onCreate, onStart are all at the
same level inside my main activity class (extends activity.)
Can somebody shed some light?
Thanks,
/edg

[android-developers] Calendar application issues-
I submitted a handful of different issues for enhancement to the buglist (Items 4919-4924). I think these are reasonable issues and not too difficult to do. I would even take a stab, but it is not obvious to me yet how to grab the applications package and get running. Is there a separate applications group? Are there specific managers for each application? Summary of issues- Start of day Event time changing by 5 rather than 1 minute Show some text in month view Goto date feature Month mode navigation (LR instead of UD) Calendar font/#hours in 1 day mode Some things may be due to low resolution of previous phones. I can see limiting the number of hours shown in 1 day view or not having text on month view, but the Droid changes things a bit.

[android-developers] Re: Broken OpenGL texture output after resuming the app
You can easily demonstrate the problem by pressing the Phone button while the app is running, then pressing the Back button. The texture will be corrupted 9 times out of 10. The problem does NOT occur if you change the screen orientation, or press the power button and then press menu to unlock the phone. It also does NOT occur if you launch the app from the Home screen, press Back, and then relaunch. However it DOES occur if you launch the app from the Home screen, press Home to bring the Home screen up again (instead of pressing Back), and then relaunch. Interestingly, onSurfaceChanged() is called twice. In between the two calls, the texture draws correctly as you observed. It looks like an OpenGL bug to me, what do you think? Workaround: I've found that if you add this before your Image.draw() call in your onDrawFrame() method it will magically start working: // Once more with feeling gl.glEnable ( GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D ); It shouldn't be necessary, because you already did this earlier, but it works. In fact, there are a variety of statements you can put there that will inexplicably cause the app to work, including: // gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D); // gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_REPEAT); // gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_REPEAT); // gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL10.GL_LINEAR); // gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL10.GL_LINEAR); but strangely enough this one has no effect: //gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY); If you don't like putting something extra in onDrawFrame(), it seems to work in onSurfaceChanged() as well. So why, you might ask, do all the samples from Google work ok? Because they happen to make these calls in their onDrawFrame() method. For example, from the API demos, in TriangleRenderer.java, the onDrawFrame () method does: gl.glActiveTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE0); gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, mTextureID); gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_REPEAT); gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_REPEAT); ... mTriangle.draw(gl); Therefore the examples didn't run into the bug, if that's what it is. --Ed Burnette Author of Hello, Android -- http://pragprog.com/titles/eband On Jul 28, 9:02 pm, Michael Angel obliviousau...@gmail.com wrote: I've run into a very strange problem regardingOpenGLtextureoutputs, which only occurs when the app is resumed (particularly when leaving after pressing Home, and going back into the app).

Am I off base? Should Phone.apk be able to work on our HTC dream phones without additional modifications?

[android-developers] Re: ALL DEVELOPERS PIRATED APPLICATION ALL OVER!
Is the rate of piracy on Android significantly different from that of any other platform? I would guess not--it might even be less. In other words, don't spend countless hours and dollars chasing a goal that has been already proven many times over to be unattainable. Doing so would impact a developer's potential profits. The solution to go free with ads is a good one, and using something like a prebuilt solution at the andapp store is great too. Think too much about it, and you WILL have lost time and money. --Ed --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: ALL DEVELOPERS PIRATED APPLICATION ALL OVER!
Good point about the Market in other countries. However, I was not only referring to cell phones, but all platforms and software in general. My wild guess that Android software is less pirated is simply because of the installed base. Since there are so many more users of other platforms and devices, Android pirate sites are less appealing and less likely to pop up. (As opposed to iPhone, for example.) This makes tracking of piracy a bit easier, and perhaps enforcement as well.

[android-developers] location and usage of Screen Time Out
Hi, I am trying to change the default screen time out for phone calls. I have looked through PhoneApp.java and see that there are calls to PowerManager and LocalPowerManager, which are located in the frameworks. Unfortunately, I am only able to find references to default durations, for example: (from PhoneApp.java) case MEDIUM: // Set the poke lock to timeout the display after a medium // timeout (15s). This ensures that the screen goes to sleep // as soon as acceptably possible after we the wake lock // has been released. pokeLockSetting |= LocalPowerManager.POKE_LOCK_MEDIUM_TIMEOUT; break; (In LocalPowerManager) public static final int POKE_LOCK_MEDIUM_TIMEOUT = 0x4; Is the final 0x4 in POKE_LOCK_MEDIUM_TIMEOUT = 0x4 some reference to the duration of the timeout? If not, what is it? Thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Here's a progress report: 57% of the poll respondents said lower the price so I cut it temporarily from $2.99 to $0.99 (1/3rd the original).

[android-developers] Re: Having multiple versions of the same app in the market
I suggest you treat them as two different applications. Set the name of the free one to include the word Lite or Free, and then upload your fancier version with a slightly different package name and a non- zero price, calling that one your Pro version (or just leave off the suffix). That's what I did with Re-Translate, see http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=776 for more details. Given the 24-hour return policy, though, another option for Android programs that you don't have for iPhone apps is to *only* have a paid version. To try it, users would have to first pay for it, and then they'd have 24 hours to decide whether or not to keep it. -- Ed Burnette Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform - now available http://www.pragprog.com/titles/eband/hello-android On Feb 19, 8:42 am, jarkman jark...@gmail.com wrote: I'd love to get a definitive answer to the same question.

The simple way is to provide different namespace in AndroidManifest.xml for both apps, so App-Lite and App-Advanced would show up as two completely different applications and could be installed parallel on the same device. But I'm also thinking about another way of installing the App-Advanced version - like an upgrade to the App-Lite which might be already installed. To do this, I can just set the same namespace for both app in AndroidManifest.xml, so after installing one app would replace the other one - I can do this from adb command line, but I'm not sure how android market would behave in this case. Will it show them as two different apps, will it show them as two different versions of the same app with the ability to upgrade from one version to another, or it just will not allow to publish two apps with the same namespace?

[android-developers] MediaPlayer seeking back
I've been using androids MediaPlayer to stream from an http url and have a question about seeking. Currently, our urls expire after they have been used once or a certain time out has expired to dissuade scraping content. Now, this obviously makes progressive streaming past the buffer impossible with the exact same url as you need to open a new http connection with the same mangled key, which we intentionally don't allow. However, MediaPlayer seems to do this when seeking before the current position (i.e. seeking from 1:00 in the audio to 0:30). As the file has already been downloaded up to the current position I'm confused as to why MediaPlayer is still trying to initate a new http connection in this case? The only thing I can think of is that MediaPlayer is getting rid of audio its already played up to the current position, and hence needs to restart the connection if you try to seek back on the stream. Is this correct, or is there something else going on? Thanks, Ed --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Thanks for the response hackbod. However, the trackball left and right

It would be nice to replace
else if KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT

work that way. I think you have to specify using the x-axis as a
relative position, and I'm not sure how it's done.

You can watch trackball events yourself with View.onTrackballEvent().

+1 to a zip file version, perhaps updated nightly or weekly. I know we can use the web interface to look at one file at a time, but it would be nice to be able to read it all from a Windows machine.

Is it also available as a .zip someplace, I really don't fancy to install all these other tools just to browse the source code. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: ADB via USB
It's not working for me. The device driver won't install, and I get this error from Vista64: Description: Windows detected a new device attached to your computer, but could not find the driver software it needs to make the device usable.

[android-developers] Re: sqlite3?
I tried taking the /system/bin/sqlite3 from the M5 version and installing it into 0.9_beta but it didn't work. I ran the M5-rc15 emulator with -wipe-data, used adb pull to get the program, ran the 0.9_beta emulator with -wipe-data, ran adb remount to make /system read write, used adb push to upload sqlite3 to /system/bin, used adb shell chmod 777 /system/bin/sqlite3 to make it executable, and then tried to run it in an adb shell. Unfortunately it just returned immediately with no errors or output. When you say this will be fixed in the next release do you mean (a) that the Android system image will include a working /system/bin/ sqlite3 that you can run with adb shell (like M5 had), or do you mean (b) that there will be a Windows (or Linux or Mac) binary installed on the development computer as part of the SDK? Also... is there an issue number for tracking this? A quick search didn't turn up one.

[android-developers] Re: WebView loadUrl does not seem to work...
Try the BrowserView example from http://www.pragprog.com/titles/eband/source_code and see if that works for you. If it does, then compare it against what you're doing in your layout file, your manifest, and your Activity class. -- Ed Burnette http://www.pragprog.com/titles/eband/hello-android Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform -- now updated for version 0.9_beta --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

It's there now. However Amazon only has the paper version which won't be out until later this year. Pragprog.com has both the PDF (beta) and paper (pre-order).

[android-developers] Re: GTalk sendDataMessage from Server
Yup, I figured it out after reading this blog post: http://craigbbaker.com/2008/01/03/android-on-smack/ On Apr 14, 8:42 am, Hielko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is certainly possible, you just have to use the proper xml message to the phone.

The effect should be the same as calling IGTalkSession.sendDataMessage on another Android phone. This feature is required to initiate data exchange between a server and an Android application from the server side. This can be achieved by having a custom service constantly running. The service can keep a socket to the server open and listen to it. However, it is better to use higher level solution if one exists. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
