[android-developers] Re: SharedUserId: Things that Cannot Change http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/06/things-that-cannot-change.html
Sadly that open issue has been marked unreproducible ... I don't understand why but I guess it's not going to be addressed. I checked all the documentation about the UID of the app and I didn't find anything warning of it being impossible to change. I just was trying to simplify some internal stuff and realized there might be some conflict with other things. Because of the way you have to think so far ahead with it, I think it would actually be better to make it a required field. That way it gives the product at least the option of utilizing it further down the road. Ok at least I know I am not crazy.

Yeah I think I might, I read that code too. I think if you get a littler further it prints out something like can't move file because UID is different so you end up with just a broken app that is sort of stuck since you can't read/delete/write to old data and aren't allowed to create new data.

I found another :) http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4381 Comment 2 says that changing to a sharedUserId is unsupported. Digging into this further, PackageManagerService.java creates a new package entry if the sharedUserId has changed, there is even a warning: reportSettingsProblem(Log.WARN, Package + name + shared user changed from + (p.sharedUser != null ? p.sharedUser.name : nothing) + to + (sharedUser != null ? sharedUser.name : nothing) + ; replacing with new); It then iterates over all assigned UID (quote: 'stupidly inefficient for now' :)) and returns a new one. Why it's done this way I have no idea though. BTW, the sharedUserId is saved in packages.xml along with other package info. I checked all the documentation about the UID of the app and I didn't find anything warning of it being impossible to change. Maybe I read it in some bug report, like the one above.

[android-developers] SharedUserId: Things that Cannot Change http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/06/things-that-cannot-change.html
Would SharedUserId be worth calling out. I currently don't have one set on any of my apps, but after playing around with the feature while trying to get a Test Project to run as the same user ... I think it's not really possible to change the user_id with a live app without some big issues. The only way I can think to do it is to release an apk which changes all elements in /data/data/* to be opened with Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE and then later in another apk release, change the sharedUserId to the value desired. This sounds pretty bad. My theory is based on just very primitive tests of upgrading from a debug build with no sharedUserId to a debug build of the same package (cert) and realizing that any attempt to read anything in the /data/data/my_package either throws a SecurityException or FileNotFoundException (even when writing a new file). I think this should really be called out in the documentation, similar to how package name has big bold letters around it all the time that says (DO NOT CHANGE!) :) However even with my idea of making a release with world writable files, I don't believe I would ever be able to create new files within /data/data/my_package. I am wondering that if the package name has to be unique anyways for the package manager, why they just didn't make the default user_id the package_name of the app. Then with the correct signing cert and agreed upon name you would be able to migrate to a userid if need be. ...

[android-developers] Is there a way to include permissions only during Testing?
Hi, I have a test project that mocks out a bunch of locations and sends them through my application project. I don't want my application to include the ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION permission so I wanted to include it in the Test project. This seems to not give me the expected result as I always get a permission error for ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION when I set a TestLocationProvider using the instrumentation Context. Has anyone experienced the same or know how to allow such injection?

[android-developers] Why does the SharedLibrary for maps sometimes fail?
Hi,
I have an application with a manifest that clearly states it requires
the android maps. I know this works because if the phone doesn't have
the shared lib it fails on install (that's great I am glad).
But sometimes I am seeing reports as follows:
Exception Ljava/lang/NoClassDefFoundError; thrown during
Lcom.foo.bar.RandomClass;.clinit
D/AndroidRuntime( 7529): Shutting down VM
Later on in the rollup of the stack.
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Lcom.foo.bar.RandomMapActivity
at com.foo.bar.RandomClass.clinit(RandomClass.java:171)
And earlier on in the log I have a Verify Error for a Class not found
for MapActivity.
Basically I just have a static block in a class referenced by my
Application Object that some something like this.
static {
HashMapClass, String map = new HashMapClass,String();
map.put(RandomMapActivity.class, alias1);
...
ALIAS_MAP = map;
}
It's nothing complicated it's nothing fancy either. If the sharedlib
fails to load at runtime is there not a more dire issue there? What
gives?

[android-developers] Re: making white pixels transparent
You could try using AvoidXferMode but I believe it doesn't support transparency. Otherwise the fastest alternative in java land would be to generate a byte buffer the size of the pixels in the image and then read them from the bitmap and then set them again.

[android-developers] Re: Does getBestLastKnownLocation block?
Yeah sorry I was mixing what I was trying to retrieve mixed with the actual API call. But yea that is correct. It's not a phone I have either :( We can't reproduce it consistently. And a lot of the Galaxy S phones do have defects in their GPS software but I never thought it would just block. I have a few logs from clients but it seems to feel like their locking inside of their libgps code is not releasing it's global lock. We have a few other theories but since the LocationManager class isn't documented too well (it seems to be somewhat of a port of J2ME's but not completely) we are just shooting in the dark. I noticed a pattern in our application which registers the same LocationListener multiple times without deregistering it. The registration does not fail and we don't get updates after we unregister once so we assumed it was fine and made the code more readable because we didn't have to worry about side effects. However now I am not so sure. But even if that was the problem it should be something that is completely reproducible on the same OS/firmware version. To be clear we saw the same phone, Samsung Galaxy S Epic, install the app and each one may or may not get stuck in this really nasty state. Basically the overall GPS system for the OS gets frozen, even maps can't get a fix after it gets in this state. Enabled providers don't seem to be the issue as they have both GPS and network locations providers enabled on each phone.

Thanks Mark :( At least I don't feel crazy :) Kostya, Is it just not able to get a fix or does your phone display become completely black? If it just is not getting a fix then yes we know of that issue. But on phones where the screen goes black reoccurs even when restarting the phone (and consequently the gps).

[android-developers] Does getBestLastKnownLocation block?
Hi, I was wondering if this is a bad thing to do or if it is just a buggy ROM. The location strategy my application uses is from the UI Thread register for a location update. We then schedule a cancel request on the handler of the UI thread within a given timeout to cancel the location update if nothing was returned in that time. After which we call on the UI thread LocationManager.getBestLastKnownLocation() for the provider we were interested in. This seemed like a sane idea since the async callback wouldn't block and we could give the user some animation loading indication for our best attempt. And if we timeout we just use the system's last known location as a best effort follow up. However on certain phones, the Epic in particular sometimes this call never returns. This call is documented as being pretty light weight and since all of the other interaction with the LocationManager is to be done on the UI thread (like registering for updates) this just seems to be understood as needing that as well. Is there a better pattern than this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: What are some good Automated Unit And System Test Tools for Android?
Robotium is a black box test kit though. So while I am sure it's useful, I find that things like selenium and UI blackbox testing becomes rather hard to maintain on a changing live product where the design of the UI is under constant iterations. I think I have something that seems to be meeting my needs. I have Hudson setup to build my test Project whenever any changes happen in my repo. It calls the coverage target on a modified ant build script that I made from basically looking at how the sdk constructed it's build.xml template. It's semi documented how to do this, but basically you end up copy and pasting the entire contents of the appropriate template into your build file and setting the flag import=false on the setup tag included by default. Then since you can make custom changes at this point, I swapped out adb in the build script to use a custom adb wrapper wherever adb is called. This wrapper simply execs adb and interprets the success or failure of the command by reading stdout and returns a non 0 resultcode if it detects an error in the output. Then I found this, https://github.com/jsankey/android-junit-report, which you can use instead of the standard test runner and it will generate ant junit xml reports on the device for you (Really freakin convenient). I stash the resultcode of the test run, download the reports (emma, and junit xml) and then interpret the resultcode. Hudson later treats the emma report as a build artifact and publishes the reports in a nice fashion integrated with the SCM. It seems to be a pretty simple setup for running suites of unit tests through a device. Much thanks to jsankey again for that tiny but awfully useful bridge. I think I might extend this to include parsing out the performance stuff (ddmlib seems to have some stuff for this as well) and submit that back. -Greg On Nov 3, 1:33 pm, MarcoAndroid marco...@gmail.com wrote: This tool could be useful (integrates with Maven so should integrate with Hudson):http://code.google.com/p/robotium/ I still have it on my list as to look into :) On 3 nov, 07:20, Greg Giacovelli miyamo...@gmail.com wrote: So I give in.

[android-developers] Should Plurals and Quantity Strings be used?
This feature has been around since cupcake, however it has always been broken. Bugs like, http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8287, have been posted. The things I am finding wrong with this is that it's completely undocumented, and only works for english and czech in undefined ways. The code suggests that the current implementation doesn't meet the standards of what is desired and hasn't been changed since it was added.

[android-developers] Re: Should Plurals and Quantity Strings be used?
I assume cz has a similar requirement although I don't know, all I have seen are these rules. en does one or other cz does just like you described. using few and what not However I find this functionality somewhat arbitrary and at the same time useless, or am I just missing something? I thought it would be something more like what you described you had to do on your own. So you could do something like ordinals or create statements like, I have X string(x) - where I could supply a value and get strings back that make sense. 0 : I have no strings, 1 : I have 1 string, 2-100 : I have 2 strings plural name=whatever item quantity=zeroI have no strings/item item quantity=oneI have 1 stringitem item quantity=otherI have %d strings/item /plural On Sep 20, 3:41 pm, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote: I recently used this mechanism in my app. It's localized for Russian, where plurals conjugate (or is it congregate?) depending on the quantity: 2 through 4 have one ending, 5 and greater have another.

[android-developers] Re: Is there a way to request permissions from a user as you need them?
Look there is a point where this was taken as an insult and I didn't mean that. I simply meant Apple, a company who is notorious for a good user experience all around, even has dialogs prompting users for extra permissions. Yes I don't agree with their model of the wild west. However if an app makes use of the optional permission so much that a user is constantly bombarded with dialogs then that app will probably not be voted up as highly as others. Isn't that the point of the market is to let users decide via votes and ratings, which apps are good and which aren't? Having only the wall of permissions and a market based solely on user feedback, is not a great long term distribution model. It just becomes spam at that point. I saw this permission and this app must suck : 1 star. A user has every right to publish this, however it's a problem that cannot be addressed since they can't even validate their assumption because of fear to install the app in the first place. It's not a credible review however since reviews come in so fast, is it really the job of the developer to police the downfalls of it's distributor (yes and no). I am not going to split up my application into multiple APKs as I find many end users don't understand that distribution mechanic and frankly sometimes even as a developer it's annoying. I am starting to highly doubt the future of this product if the approach being taken by the dev team is, Well it's not something we would like to address for things that are obviously a point of contention for both developers (threads like this) and end users (read the market reviews of apps in general). You don't have many apps that have all those permissions on their manifest stated because it would never get installed, however you probably won't find that many creative apps either because of it. Is the target of android phones devs or non techie consumers ... the carrier marketing would say consumers, however through the development network it seems like we are back in school debating fundamentals of security instead of addressing a problem and building a product.

Apple, a company that basically gives all developers access to frightenly everything, still prompts users on a per application basis for location, notifications, etc. I can guarantee you that if this facilities exists, apps will use it extensively. We'd have a design that encourages it: showing an app's permissions up-front before installing is a strong barrier where the user is most inclined to decide the scope of what the app is doing is not worth their desire for it and reject it; asking permission later is when the user is just trying to do things and much more inclined to just say yes instead of canceling or uninstalling the app. So if I am an app developer... of course I will declare no permissions at install, and request them all as needed. I have a huge incentive to that. I will say specifically about location -- we should have some additional facilities to control that, showing the user which apps are using it and individually turning it off. But location is a special case (note it is the only thing that there is a global setting to turn off as well). And of course we don't have or need a permission for notifications. A design that doesn't require a permission but is still safe and secure is of course best. That is why I say I'd like us to introduce more ways for apps to interact with contact data without needing a permission. To me that is a much better way to spend time.

Let me expand on why I think it is a failing, and maybe you will see where I am coming from. I'll use the Window Firewall as an example as it is the closest example I can think of. It deals with permissions and security. This may be more of a manifestation of how I use my computer, but I think many people share this :). Assume I have a new install of Windows. I'm not very security conscious (I'm truly not.. if you want my email accounts, I have thousands more I can switch to, so I don't care), but I set my firewall to lock down everything because I do want some security, and otherwise I'm wide open. Then I start to install my programs. At this point none of them have internet access. Then one by one I start running them. Some of them will immediately popup the Firewall is Blocking me dialog. No problem I'm still in the installation phase anyway. When that happens, if it's a program I REALLY trust, I just grant the the Allow Always option. If it's a program I don't have complete faith in, I only grant the Allow Once option, and I pull out Wire Shark before I respond and monitor what it's doing. Then when (and if) I trust it, I give it the Allow Always option. Doing it that way makes me feel very secure, even though I don't have big issues with security in the first place. I really don't think I am the only person out there that feels this way I think Android would benefit from this. Now.. do you get my point of view?... I'm not asking you to agree in terms of changing how you do things... you may work differently... but I think it's a valid point of view. The way Android does it now. I just accept whatever the program asks for because until you use it, you don't really know how it wants to use the permission. By waiting until it wants to use the permission, I can make a (slightly) more informed choice on whether to grant the permission or not, especially if I have the option of saying YES, YES, but monitor it, or NO, and that makes Android not only more secure but communicates that security to the user in a very effective manner.

[android-developers] Re: Is there a way to request permissions from a user as you need them?
I think I see where you are coming from to a point however honestly I dislike the global statement. I mean a wall of permissions is going to turn into white noise to users (in which case the permission could be for Brick for all they care leading to spam) or paranoid users (in which case your platform dies from no use, but is perceived as lack of creativity from developers). I am just saying it would be nice, from a user perspective and from a developer perspective if I could optionally request a permission and/or upgrade to a permission via user interaction (through a system UI that could persist a No or a Yes). I mean if it's at install time, how do you explain to a user why the permission is needed (They aren't engineers remember, and it's only like 256 characters in the market description field). Just my two cents. On Aug 27, 9:45 am, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: No it must be done at install time. Honestly, this is better than prompting the user all over the place when they are actually trying to do some other task -- they are more likely to look at permissions (and as a whole) when the task at hand is installing an app. You can't intercept URIs without going through a system UI where the user decides what to do. Also at that point the task they are doing is look at this thing I selected, so the decision they are making (pick which will show the thing they are wanting to look at) is relevant to their task at hand.

[android-developers] Any Harm in Tying GPS listening to onWindowFocusChanged()
Hi, So I have received complaints from users that they think our app was using GPS why they were not using the app because the lock screen was displaying the GPS icon. I previously within a common root activity, registered for GPS events in the onResume and deregistered in the OnPause(). Turns out that the lock screens will resume the underlying app that will be in the foreground after unlock (perfectly reasonable). I wanted to do something about the customers feedback though because I know not all users are really techies so I since I couldn't provide an answer that wasn't of just the nature trust me it's not I wanted to see if I could at least calm their nerves. I put the register and deregister hooks into the onWindowFocusChanged of the activities and while it fixes the lock screen problems, I am starting to notice some lags. Is this to be expected? Like I am seeing my app take much more time in GPS than previously. It seems like the event is not always guaranteed to be called immediately for when the app loses focus. Is this correct? I noticed the google maps application seems to register and deregister on resume and pause since they have the same lock screen issue. Has anyone dealt with this before? I am going to switch it back to onResume and onPause for the time being. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Thanks now I know I am not crazy, I was like segfaults shouldn't ever appear to a user too (Although I think there are a few cases around image capture that do).

I will see if I have more info to send back but so far this is the most complete that I know of.

[android-developers] Re: Any Harm in Tying GPS listening to onWindowFocusChanged()
sorry for the premature bump, I just can't find this thread on the site other than the thread id which I know. bump On Aug 3, 10:05 am, Greg Giacovelli miyamo...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, So I have received complaints from users that they think our app was using GPS why they were not using the app because the lock screen was displaying the GPS icon. I previously within a common root activity, registered for GPS events in the onResume and deregistered in the OnPause().

I wanted to do something about the customers feedback though because I know not all users are really techies so I since I couldn't provide an answer that wasn't of just the nature trust me it's not I wanted to see if I could at least calm their nerves. I put the register and deregister hooks into the onWindowFocusChanged of the activities and while it fixes the lock screen problems, I am starting to notice some lags. Is this to be expected? Like I am seeing my app take much more time in GPS than previously. It seems like the event is not always guaranteed to be called immediately for when the app loses focus. Is this correct? I noticed the google maps application seems to register and deregister on resume and pause since they have the same lock screen issue. Has anyone dealt with this before?

[android-developers] am i using these correctly? AbsListView.layoutparams
Hi, So listview is on of those.components used all over the OS and has all those tricks to speed it up and in a lot of cases, work correctly. So let's say I have an adapter that supports N views. GetViewTypeCount() returns N. GetItemViewType() return [0, (N - 1)] Now the interesting part getView All the examples I see have something like this. ... layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.awesome); As the base view to return if the convert view is empty. This seems to convert to the correct layout parameter. but the generate layout parameter in listview only copies width and height it seems. If the adapter returns multiple views, should we then reset the view's layout parameters to use laayoutparams( width, height, viewType) before returning it in getView ( where viewType is the same as the value returned by getItemViewType for the position being rendered )? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Repackaging Android System Classes in an application
I understand don't do this... trust me I don't want to, but it doesn't answer the question if it will work in a market app. The rationale behind it, is that the rendering implementations between 1.5 and newer versions forward have a minor change with a large impact with regards to Z ordering. Since bug fixes aren't back ported there needs to be some way to intercept the call and correct it. I understand it's fragile however it's only meant to support 1.5, which as much as it gets neglected, still has a decent amount of people using it. We use a wrapper around WindowSession to correct the Z ordering on calls to relayout(). Again, trust me, the fragility is known. However a better rationale is, that when this app, that as you said will likely break, ... breaks, it would be assumed that support for the broken version of the OS would also be dropped ;) -Greg On Jun 16, 6:57 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Don't do this.

Steve, Nope sadly I have not. Moto, nope that doesn't work either. The clean does this anyways. I cannot build my app against 2.2 until this gets worked out. I should say again, that the apk and all the resource ids are correct. I traced their values through the apk and the emulator and the G1 just can't extract them for some reason. It can extract other assets just not this particular one. I am completely stumped since this asset hasn't changed for some time.

[android-developers] RelativeLayout vertical center issue in Android OS 1.5
Hi, I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/125dd6c435aa7cad/c19724a514558af7 which seems to be closed. I don't think it's an actual solution, it's more of a we needed this to work now. I am having the same issue where the centerVertical seems to center the entire layout at the center of the screen. Without it, the layout floats at the top of the screen and wraps the content correctly, however all the elements are aligned with the top of the window, I just want them to be centered vertically within the layout. Here is a sample of the layout I am using. Basically it's a button on the left and a button the right with some text in the middle between them. Ideally I would like that text in the middle of them to be center aligned with the buttons. Am I doing something wrong? This works fine on all other versions of Android OS other than 1.5. -Greg RelativeLayout android:layout_width=fill_parent xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_height=wrap_content android:id=@+id/title_bar android:minHeight=0px android:background=@drawable/title_bar_bg Button android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_alignParentLeft=true android:hint=lt;leftgt; android:id=@+id/left_button android:layout_gravity=left|center_vertical android:gravity=left| center_vertical /Button TextView android:layout_height=wrap_content android:id=@+id/ title android:hint=lt;Titlegt; android:layout_gravity=center android:layout_toRightOf=@+id/left_button android:layout_toLeftOf=@+id/right_button android:gravity=center android:layout_centerVertical=true android:layout_width=fill_parent/TextView Button android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_width=wrap_content android:id=@+id/right_button android:hint=lt;rightgt; android:layout_gravity=right| center_vertical android:layout_alignParentRight=true/Button /RelativeLayout -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask : java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException
Hi arnouf, I don't mean to butt in but I suspect this is a similar problem to something I saw before. In your ViewAdapter, I am assuming you are creating or using a View which is or contains an ImageView which you are trying to load the image contents for remotely. If you are always creating the view in your adapter, then it simplifies the process a lot but at a performance tradeoff since you won't get the View recycling that the ListView does for you. If you create only when the view passed into your adapter is null, and use the passed in View other times then you gain some performance, however now you have to sync the ImageViews to what is being displayed on the screen or else like you said, you may get images rendered in the incorrect cells of the list. So there are 2 problems, #1 For the AsyncTask, you can still use the AsyncTask, but stagger their execution (try using a handler on the UI thread to spawn the AsyncTask after a delay, via postDelay). #2 The Image Syncing problem, when you get the information back you should make sure the view that the task is loading the image for is not dirty. By dirty I mean that the ListView is still displaying that cell and it is the correct cell. It may have been recycled and passed back to your adapter as the user scrolled and you will end up out of sync. I have been storing the image url in the tag of the image view and on a successful image load comparing the tag with the source of the image bitmap to make sure the view still is fresh. If you cache the image somewhere (in memory or storage) you can then retrieve it faster later and just fill the image view next time that cell needs to be rendered. Not sure if this is the exact problem you describe but I don't see any harm in giving some advice. Hope it helps. -Greg On Apr 7, 8:14 am, arnouf arnaud.far...@gmail.com wrote: I'm not sure that it will resolve my first problem related to the image loaded from remote and display in my listview I can useAsynctaskin my adapter to load each image.

[android-developers] Incorrect documentation for Xml Attributes (onclick, padding, etc), all API Levels?
Hi, The documentation seems to specify API Level Blank for a lot of the XML attributes in View. I haven't checked others. I have my filters set to only look for API 3 and it seems that this misses the filter. So it shows up and low and behold since it's XML it will parse, compile and then just not be read. So far I have only seen this a problem with the onclick attribute but I noticed a lot of them have the same API Level problem. * Is this known? * Are the values that should be there known? * Are there any plans to update the documentation? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Localization of Plurals using Context and resources strings.xml
Thanks :) Sadly I just read through tons of source code and got this
Pretty interesting :) Ok so since you seem to know that, would you
know what the quantity=few, quantity=many do?
The src code doesn't seem to define them in the PluralRules
implemented, or at least nothing that is really concrete. Is there a
formal definition somewhere?

Hi Greg,
To use plurals. You declare it like this in your strings.xml.
plurals name=thing_string
item quantity=one%s thing/item
item quantity=other@s things/item
/plurals
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I am used to just using a choice format for doing something deciding
between {0} thing and {0} things.
However Context and Resources have a lot of utitilities it seems for
dealing with String and loading them with native replacement. One
method of such is Resources.getQuantityText(int id, int quantity) ...
problem is the way to declare the string is not declared anywhere and
upon using this method I am greeted with
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Plural resource ID
#0x7f080050 quantity=450 item=other
Looking at the source it does use a native method to load the
pluralized resource so I can't look at the code. Would anyone know how
to use this may-be pretty nifty utility?
I was thinking it might be something like:
string name=thing_string pluralrule=one%1$d thing/string
string name=thing_string pluralrule=other%1$d things/string
since they don't use the xml id element but I am just guessing and am
completely stumped.
