[android-developers] Re: New SDK Manager (14) do not recognise JDK JAVA path on windows 7

2011-10-21 Thread Gregg Reno
I had this problem.  Try this:
- In Eclipse, select the Help -> Check for Updates menu.  If it
updates the Android Developer Toolkit, great.  That alone might do it
- If that doesn't work, go to Help -> Install New Software.
- Click the drop down list and look for an item for
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/.
- My problem is that I had this entry with https, but it wasn't
working.  I added  http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ as
another line (http instead of https), selected the new items to
install, and everything worked fine.

[android-developers] Re: Payout much smaller than expected

2011-08-10 Thread Gregg Reno
Are there still problems with Google Checkout for app purchases?  It
seems that even now, things do not look right to me with the daily
payout amounts being under reported.  Here is what I'm seeing...

- Go to Google Checkout and click Payouts tab
- You see a daily list of purchases, with the title "Closed Orders"
- Click one of the amounts in the Purchases column

Here I typically see two rows for each purchase.  For example, my app
goes for $1.49, so I will see something like:
  Purchase  $1.49
  Fee  -$0.45

However, some transactions just show one line like this:
  Fee  $0.00

This is supposed to be a closed order, and if I drill into it I can
see it looks identical in status to other closed purchases with the
status showing shipped and charged.  So instead of this purchase being
counted in the daily total as it should, it only counts as $0. And it
isn't just the most recent day's transactions.  I can see these going
back over a week.

So are sales not being counted as they should?

Sorry if I'm posting to the wrong board.  If I should post this
somewhere else, let me know.

[android-developers] Problems with Orders Inbox?

2011-07-18 Thread Gregg Reno
In the past week, I've had a couple of transactions in my google
checkout orders inbox show up with the following error:

Oops!
An error occurred while retrieving data for your request. Please try
again. If the error persists, please contact Google.

So if there are 20 transactions on the page and I get this error on
say the 5th transaction, the remaining transactions won't be
displayed.  I can go to the next page OK though.

Anyone else having this problem? The problem does not go away later
and will always fail on the same trandaction.

[android-developers] Borders between fragments?

2011-04-18 Thread Gregg Reno
I'm building a honeycomb specific app and wanted to know if there is
an easy way to create visible borders between fragments?

I know I could just set different backgrounds for each fragment layout
so they are distinct, but that's not what I'm going for. I want it to
look like one background across all fragments, with thin borders
between them. I'm using the Theme.Holo theme, defined in the
manifest.

It doesn't look like there are any attributes on the fragments
themselves to do this, unless I'm missing something. Should I instead
set the background image of each fragment layout? Maybe use a 9patch
with a transparent background and solid edges?  I'm thinking this may
not be good because the borders will be twice as thick where two
fragments meet.

Here are my layouts.  Note that only two of the three are ever visible
at the same time:

 My main layout:

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/frags">









 My query fragment:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>







 My Gallery fragment:


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">





 My content fragment (abreviated...)


http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:paddingTop="20dp"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
>




  

 




...

I'm not that happy about Amazon changing the descriptions without me
reviewing it first, but they have been very responsive to my
requests.  I usually get something back from them the same day.

What I am happy about are my sales numbers.  Not sure if this is just
a first day thing, but my sales numbers are 4 times higher on Amazon
than what I see on a typical day in the Android Market.  And I made it
to the #30 spot today in the paid apps list - woot!  (Roku Remote)

[android-developers] Re: Fragment question: inter-fragment communication?

2011-02-28 Thread Gregg Reno
Thanks for all the help on this.  I'm not the greatest Java
programmer, but thought I would share my code in case it's useful to
anyone else.

In my case, I'm trying to replicate the functionality similar to the
email client.  I have 3 fragments - a list view, a gallery view, and a
content view.  At start up, I show only the list view and gallery
view.  When a user clicks on a title in the gallery view, I hide the
list view, slide the gallery view over to the left, display the
content view and tell the content view which title to show.  The flow
then is the gallery fragment tells the activity what title was
selected, the activity updates the UI and calls a method in the
content fragment.

Here is my code.  I tried to make it as generic as possible, but it
probably doesn't have enough error handling.

=== FragmentNotification.java ===

import android.app.Fragment;

//Allows a fragment to notify an activity of an event
public interface FragmentNotification
{
public static final int  FRAG_ACTION_TITLE_SELECTED = 1;

// actionInt and actionString are optional depending on actionType
void fragmentAction(Fragment fragID, int actionType, int actionInt,
String actionString );
}

=== GalleryFragment.java ===

gView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int
position, long id)
{
rTitle = xmlparse.results.RecordList.get(position);

GalleryFragment galleryFrag = (GalleryFragment)
getFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.frag_gallery);

((FragmentNotification)getActivity()).fragmentAction
(galleryFrag, 
FragmentNotification.FRAG_ACTION_TITLE_SELECTED,
0, rTitle.sTitleId);

}
});

=== MainActivity.java ===

...
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements
FragmentNotification, ActionBar.TabListener,
SearchView.OnQueryTextListener, SearchView.OnCloseListener,
Button.OnClickListener,
{
...

//Receive an event notification from a fragment
@Override
public void fragmentAction(Fragment fragID, int actionType, int
actionInt, String actionString)
{
if (fragID == fragGallery)
{
if (actionType == 
FragmentNotification.FRAG_ACTION_TITLE_SELECTED)
{
//Update user interface
if (detailState != DETAIL_STATE_DETAIL)
setDetailState(DETAIL_STATE_DETAIL);

//Tell content frag to display title
fragContent.displayTitle(actionString);
}
}

}
...
}

2011-02-27 Thread Gregg Reno
Maybe this covered earlier in this thread and I'm still not
understanding it.  I like the idea of a each fragment communicating
back to the activity rather than to other fragments. Then the activity
can decide whether it needs to send information to other fragments.

So is there an existing mechanism for a fragment to send a message to
the activity?  If not, I guess I could just create a handler in the
activity and pass the handler pointer to the fragment so it can send a
message to the activity.

My use case is the activity is responsible for all changes to the
action bar and to showing or hiding various fragments.

Thanks,

Related to this, I'm wondering if we will be in a situation where we

example, I'm planning on picking up a xoom - hopefully in the next

minSdkVersion.  Will those apps run on a xoom if the minSdkVersion
isn't a number?

[android-developers] Honeycomb SDK Refresh?

2011-02-16 Thread Gregg Reno
I really appreciate being able to play with the Honeycomb SDK, and
have even started porting one of my apps to it.  The fragments concept
is great.

However, the emulator sure is buggy.  For example, you can't touch
anything on the browser without it crashing.  I made some progress
getting my app working, but when I added a third fragment view I hit
the same problem with any touch anywhere causing a crash.

With the mminent release of the Xoom, how about a more stable release
of the honeycomb SDK?  If I pick up a Xoom, I'm hoping I don't hit the
same crashes as the emulator.

And while I'm asking for things, it would be great to get RenderScript
working in the SDK - and maybe some info on how to build the samples.
Plus, could we get an example of using RenderScript for a page turn?

Oh, and one more thing :)  Anyone have an idea how to mimic the
Honeycomb contact app where the content fragment has a little triangle
pointing to the list fragment so you know which item on the list was
selected?

Thanks,

-Gregg

[android-developers] Continuous Speech Recognition?

2010-03-31 Thread Gregg Reno
I understand the current speech recognition method where you can have
the user click a button to recognize a phrase.  But does anyone know
if continuous speech recognition is possible?  For example, using
voice commands control the phone (without clicking a button) to launch
apps or provide an interactive information to the visually impaired or
someone driving a car.

Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: ANDROID_ID always null on devices

2010-02-03 Thread Gregg Reno
How about using the WIFI MAC address in cases where the ANDROID_ID is
null?  I believe it should be unique for each device:

WifiManager manager = (WifiManager) getSystemService
(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo wifiInfo = manager.getConnectionInfo();
String MACAddress = wifiInfo.getMacAddress();

This seems to pull back a MAC address even if WIFI is turned off.

[android-developers] Re: Can't see comments for Android 2.0 version of app

2010-01-20 Thread Gregg Reno
Thanks!  http://www.androlib.com/ had the info I was looking for, but
http://www.androidzoom.com/ looks out of date.

The problem I have with using one version is that if I target the app
as 1.6, I can't build the project because I need the following import
to launch an activity to select a contact with 2.0:

import android.provider.ContactsContract;

Is there a safe way I could target 1.6 but import
android.provider.ContactsContract from the 2.0 library and still be
ok?

I could use this code:

int sdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK);
if (sdkVersion < 5) {
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI);
} else {
intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
}

[android-developers] Can't see comments for Android 2.0 version of app

2010-01-20 Thread Gregg Reno
A while back, I released an app targeted for 1.6.  I got reports that
it wouldn't run under 2.0, so I created a 2.0 specific version and
released it to the market as well. This was tested using only the
emulator since I don't have a 2.0 phone.

The problem is, my G1 phone is running 1.6, and can't search the
market for my 2.0 version of the app.  That means I can't read any
user comments for the 2.0 version.  Very frustrating!

Any suggestions?  Yet another reason why Google needs a web front end
to the android market.

And yes, I looked into building one version of the app that targets
1.6 but supports 2.0, but it wasn't possible due to the way accessing
contacts was changed in 2.0.

Thanks,
-Gregg

[android-developers] Re: Invalidate and a card flip

2010-01-15 Thread Gregg Reno
Thanks for the reply Beth.  I'll take a look at the ImageSwitcher.

Since posting this, I found a workaround that seems to work. Basically
I do the face up flip, and then send a message to the activity.  The
message handler does the face down flip like this. Here is some of the
code:

private OnClickListener myCardImageListener = new OnClickListener
() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
   ...
   CardImageView iv_1 = deck[CardNum];
   if (iv_1.CardState == CARD_STATE_UP)
   {
  iv_1.DoCardPress();
  WaitSeconds(1);
  handler.sendMessage(handler.obtainMessage
(MESSAGE_HIDE));
   }
   ...
}
 }

 Handler handler=new Handler()
 {
public void handleMessage(Message msg)
{
   ...
   if (msg.what == MESSAGE_HIDE)
   {
  CardImageView iv_1 = deck[CardNum];
  iv_1.DoCardPress();
   }
   ...
 }
  };

[android-developers] Invalidate and a card flip

2010-01-13 Thread Gregg Reno
I am working on a card game, and using a custom ImageView for the
cards.  I have an OnClickListener that handles the presses on the
cards.

What I want to happen is in some cases is:
- User presses a face down card
- Card displays face up
- Wait 1 second
- Card displays face down

Within the OnClickListener , I draw the face up card, call invalidate,
use Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000), draw the card face down, and
call invalidate again.  What happens is you never see the card face up
- just face down.

>From what I understand from prior threads, this is expected behavior
as invalidate won't re-draw immediately, so you only wind up seeing
that last thing drawn. The view is probably being re-drawn after
exiting the OnClickListener.

So, any suggestions for accomplishing this using a different method?

Thanks,
-Gregg

[android-developers] Re: Warning before exiting app?

2009-08-01 Thread Gregg Reno

I figured this out.  I was doing this:

  this.mainIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent
(this, MyActivity.class), 0);

which created a new intent that was used to create the the
notification.  Instead I do this:

   this.mainIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, getIntent
(), 0);

Now when I select my notification, it activates my existing activity
instead of creating a new instance.

[android-developers] Re: Warning before exiting app?

2009-07-31 Thread Gregg Reno

Sorry, one more new problem that is odd..

Using this method, my app is running in the background.  If I launch
the app again from the home screen using the application icon, it
correctly switches to my running app.  However, if the user pulls down
the notification list and clicks my notification (remember I'm using
the FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT flag here) it launches an ADDITIONAL instance
of my Activity, instead of switching to the running instance.

Any suggestions here?

[android-developers] Re: Warning before exiting app?

2009-07-31 Thread Gregg Reno

Thanks Dianne - I appreciate the response.

Instead of prompting for exit, I decided to capture the back button
keypress, then send the app to the background like this:

   public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
  if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
  {
moveTaskToBack(true);
return false;
  }
  else
  {
  return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
  }
}

To let the user totally shut down the app, I added a menu option that
calls finish()

[android-developers] Warning before exiting app?

2009-07-29 Thread Gregg Reno

I have an app that receives and stores SMS messages.  The main use is
to run in the background, although it does have a full GUI when
running in the foreground.  I'm using a notification with the
FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT flag so users can tell the application is running,
even if it's in the background.

However, the user could easily close the app by viewing the main
screen and clicking the back button.  The notification icon goes away,
but I would like to be able to warn the user that closing the app
would prevent it from capturing the SMS messages.

Is there any way to prompt the user if they really want to exit the
application when they hit the back button, and prevent the exit if
they say no?  Or should I take a different approach?

And a bonus question:  is there a way of receiving an SMS message, but
prevent it from passing on to, say, the Messenging app?

Thanks

It would be great if you could post the code and xml!  I'm using a

[android-developers] Re: Clickable ListView element?

2009-07-23 Thread Gregg Reno

I am having the same problem with a CheckBox in the ListView.  I've
spent so much time trying to find some examples of this working under
1.5, and can't find anything.  The main thing I'm trying to accomplish
is to detect long presses on items in a list that contains
checkboxes.  Even if I don't have the listener working, I don't even
see the yellow flash you would get when you press a row in the list.

I have one CheckBox and two TextViews. I've tried wrapping the
TextViews with a LinearLayout and setting the android:clickable,
android:focusable, and
android:focusableInTouchMode to true, but that doesn't seem to help.

Anyone have a current examaple they can share?
