Re: [android-developers] Re: [ICS] Did Canvas / drawBitmap change in ICS ?
The Bitmap was created in the Java
layer:
https://github.com/gjtorikian/Earthbound-Battle-Backgrounds/blob/1684ac485c934813f97653d798f16f4c967f4247/src/com/miadzin/livewallpaper/earthbound/EarthboundLiveWallpaper.java#L258
Then, I pass it over to JNI to do some math and pixels
manipulation:

I wrote a reply to this, but I guess it was censored. I was complaining about manufacturer fragmentation, again.

[android-developers] Re: Galaxy Nexus is not properly implementing getExternalStorageDirectory; can anyone confirm?
My use case is this: a user looks up some information about a book. The book's cover is fetched from The Internet. If the user wants to save the book cover, the image is stored in the external storage directory. The storage code is simply this: new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), file); where file is just the name of the JPEG file of the image, prepended with my app. So, in theory, this should just be /mnt/sdcard/myapp/someBookCover.jpg for the Galaxy Nexus. (Obviously, mnt/sdcard varies, and might just be /sdcard-ext, etc). Now, when I perform a file.exists() operation to make sure that that file exists, I always get a false on ICS devices, and the cover does not load. I am not sure why this is happening. I had a user send me some logging information, and everything seems to check out correctly: I/IOUtilities(15437): ExternalStorageDirectory: /mnt/sdcard I/IOUtilities(15437): ExternalStorageEmulation: true I/IOUtilities(15437): ExternalStorageRemovable: false I/IOUtilities(15437): CacheDir: /data/data/com.miadzin.shelves/cache What am I doing wrong here?

following code (taken from an Android sample):
mGestureLibrary = GestureLibraries.fromRawResource(this,
R.raw.gestures);
if (!mGestureLibrary.load()) {
finish();
}
gestures = (GestureOverlayView) findViewById(R.id.gestures);
gestures.addOnGesturePerformedListener(this);
gesturedItems = new ArrayListString();
public void onGesturePerformed(GestureOverlayView overlay, Gesture
gesture) {
ArrayListPrediction predictions =
mGestureLibrary.recognize(gesture);
if (predictions.size() 0 predictions.get(0).score 1.0)
{
String action = predictions.get(0).name;
if (line.equals(action)) {
gesturedItems.add
}
}
}
(My Activity here implements OnGesturePerformedListener).
My gestures are being detected on a scrolling GridView. Each element
in the GridView is implemented with a ViewHolder. So, when I open a
context menu on a single item, I can get metadata about it like its
ID, in order to perform further actions like delete, rename, e.t.c.
I want to grab that same ViewHolder metadata information through my
gesture. Is that possible? I don't necessarily want the gesture to
equal a long press--I intend to build a list of IDs of each item that
the gesture picks up.

[android-developers] Terrible ghosting effect when flinging to the end of a ListView
I'm not sure how to put the problem into words, so I made a video: I have a ListView. Each row is composed of a RealtiveLayout of images, text, and a rating bar. The ListView is populated with a custom CursorAdapter. The elements within the row are defined in a ViewHolder, which is populated during the bindView method of the custom CursorAdapter. When I scroll/fling WITHOUT reaching the end of the list (top or bottom), the app works as expected: it presents a cover of the item from a cache on the SD card. However, when I reach either end, a ghosting effect occurs (around :10), where the previous ListView rows renders underneath the actual, now position. It clears up when I scroll just a tiny bit away. I've tried various fixes, including changing how the individual views in my rows are defined, valling invalidate() or notifyDataSetChanged(), deleting everything from the bindView method (when I scrolled, there were still artifacts from each individual row). When I run heirarchyviewer, it doesn't detect anything abnormal (when I fetch view it shows the correct, unghosted list, whereas the device/emulator still has the ghost effect.) I tried this with API Rev 7 and 8, thinking that there might be a fix there--nothing. Can anyone point me towards where the problem might be in this? Around :25 I start pressing the up and down arrows on my keyboard, simulating a trackball or d-pad. You'll notice that the orange highlight also has some strange effect. Probably these two are related. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Best Practice for selling app in non-Market approved countries?
The title more or less says it all. Google Checkout, as you may be acutely aware, only supports ~9 countries. Some apps use PayPal to receive payment, then send out an activation code to the user. How can this be done to ensure that a single user receives a single activation code? Once the app verifies the code, how could the app more or less verify itself that it's been paid for? Storing such data in a preference file or a database on the Android device can surely be easily extracted and exploited.

[android-developers] Privatizing App-Created Directories on SD Card?
Howdy— The folders in /data/data/package_name/ are hidden/private to all applications except those that are within that package namespace. Is it possible to create this level of security for folders created by applications on the SD card? For instance, the docs say that for API versions 7 and below, you should create folders that follow the syntax of: getExternalStorageDirectory() + /Android/data/package_name/files/ However, it's not clear that Android/data/package_name/files are protected the same way files in /data/data are. Are they? Or can others just go in there and muck things up? Thanks in advance! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Did selected tab background colors change in 2.1 ?
Howdy— My app was built on the Android 1.5 platform. I'm in the process of bumping the APIs used to 2.1 . I am still leaving minSdkVersion=3 / targetSdkVersion = 7 in order to support older platforms. I've made the required drawbles-hdpi / -mdpi - ldpi-v4 folders.

[android-developers] Re: Did selected tab background colors change in 2.1 ?
If I'm reading your response correctly, this has nothing to do with the drawables/tab icon. I am talking about the background color of a selected tab. On Jul 24, 12:26 pm, Joseph Earl joseph.w.e...@gmail.com wrote: Quite possibly. You should import the desired drawables from the SDK/platforms folder into your own drawables folder and reference those in order to ensure a consistent look. Remember carriers also modify their own versions which means the default styles can be quite different to the ones on the emulator.

Kevin— Thanks very much for your clear and quick response. I was able to extend CrashReportingApplication and override the necessary methods.

Thanks— Garen On May 24, 3:43 pm, Kevin Gaudin kevin.gau...@gmail.com wrote: Hello Garen, You should be able to make your existing Application class extend org.acra.CrashReportingApplication in replacement of extending Application. Just make sure to call super.onCreate() at the beginning of your own existing onCreate() override, and add other needed methods like getFormId() (required) and getCrashResources() (if you want to configure user notifications in acra v2). The limitation of this configuration system requiring to extend a custom Application class is when you need to use another lib which has the same requirement. As you wrote before, we can only extend one class. I might add some documentation later on how to enable crash reporting manually in your application class if you are in this very special case. Please contact me directly by email or file an issue on the project page if you still have problems with ACRA.

[android-developers] Combining OR calls in managedQuery
I've got a database. In its tags column, rows can have a combination of multiple values A, B, C--such that: row 1 has A row 2 has A, C row 3 has B, A and so on, in various permutations. I am trying to implement search using a managedQuery such that I can return a cursor that contains rows with one or more values in the query. For example, if the user enters C, A for a search, s/he should get all rows that have A, C, or A and C. I'm splitting the user query on the comma (,) character, and the final call is as follows (parameters replaced by actual values): mActivity.managedQuery(content_uri, [id, title, tags], title LIKE ? OR tags LIKE ?, [%A% OR %C%, %A% OR %C%], title ASC) Even though there are rows in the database that contain A, C, or A and C--the managedQuery returns nothing. Thankfully, if the query is for A, or for C, the appropriate rows with A or C or A and C are returned. It's just that a query with more than one search term returns nothing. What am I doing wrong here? My guess is that %A% OR %C% is incorrect logic, but why? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Changing data format in a db column on next app version?
Let's say in version 1 of my app, I've got a X, with a column Y, that lists integers: Y 1 2 3 4 5 The database version is also 1. Users can add or remove from Y as they see fit (through the app). Now, in the next version of my program--2--suppose I changed my mind, and now I want Y to only contain roman numerals: Y I II III IV V... Again, users can add or remove rows from Y as they want. The problem, however, is that the version 1 information is still there. As a user inserts information, the database becomes a mix of old and new formats: Y 1 2 3 4 5 VI VII VIII Am I totally screwed here? What I'm looking for, basically, is an upgrade script to run over the database, on the next install--but only if a prior install already exists. Users of version 2 won't need anything done, as their program is already set for the new version. Is it optimal to copy the database, change its version, and reinsert the rows, applying an algorithm on the column?
