[android-developers] How to calculate sound sample duration using SoundPool / AudioManager construct
Hi, Have had this problem for a while now. I am using SoundPool / AudioManager combination to load 30 audio samples (for a sound sampling app) and it's working great ! But, now I need to add the information about every sample's duration in the GUI. Have looked through the docs and couldn't find the answer :( I am using .ogg format. Any hints ?

[android-developers] Adding table row by inflating does not take table's settings
Hi all. I have a table layout with a few predefined rows in it. Each row has only two columns. Now I need to dynamically add additional rows in it. I have two problems: 1) When programmatically inflating, I cannot set the index of the newly created row (I want it in place 'n') 2) After inflation, the inserted (actually appended) row doesn't listen to parent table's stretch column property. So here are my questions: q1) Can I set the place where to insert the inflated row programatically ? q2) Why doesn't the new row inflate properly (the second column is not shown because the first column doesn't contains a TextView with fill_parent. In the end I need the first column to occupy 80% of the screen width, and the second column remaining 20%. q3) is that doable with programmatic row insertions ?

[android-developers] background and resize option
Hi all. I am having problems with a layout my designer set for me to do. Here's the idea: +--+ | | +--+--+--+--+ +--+ | || | | | | 1 | | 2 | | || | | | +--+--+--+--+ +--+ +---+ (I'm not sure how this will look since there is no monospace setting in google groups :( ) In short: The screen has two main parts: 1 and 2 Both of them have 6 rows. But part one has 4 columns, and part 2 has only one column. Each cell contains only one image icon. *The problem*: The background of element 1 must be a rounded rectangle while element 2 has no background. Does anyone have in mind how to accomplish this ? Why is it such a problem ? The whole 'table' is stretchable so it fills out the screen. So there is no way for me to grab the 1 and set the background and maintain the alignment between 1 and 2 at the same time.

[android-developers] ugly looking shaded png. premultiplied alpha messed it up ?
Hi all. I load an 'alpha enabled' png icon and use it in the layout xml file. In simulator everything looks excellent ! But when I try it on the Device (des...@froyo 2.2) it looks BAD :( The icon itself is ok but the fading out alpha (shade) looks like it's been rendered in cga graphics :) The shade fades out in steps rather then linearly making an aureola effect. The iPhone experts working beside me informed me that iPhone used to have this problem and the source was premultiplied alpha done automagically by the environment. iPhone (so they tell me) later on offerred an option to turn premultiplication off, and the issue was closed. Here I go rambling... 1) In short, does anyone know if premultiplication really is causing my problem ? 2) What should I tell my designer to use to create nice fade out/shade effect ? 3) can i add shade to my icons in XML / code ? 4) I will try adding the png in raw (and changing the extension, just in case) and load it at runtime 5) Any other suggestions ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Here's an excerpt:
FOR EACH location:
{
Intent intent = new Intent(context,
Service_locationUpdated.class);
// remember which location is it
intent.putExtra(Service_locationUpdated.MSG_LOCATION_UPDATED_EXTRA_LOCATION_ID,
locationInformation.getInternalID());
// prepare new
PendingIntent pIntent = PendingIntent.getService(aApplication,
0,
intent,
0);
lm.addProximityAlert(location.getLatitude(),
location.getLongitude(),
location.getRadius(),
-1L, pIntent);
}
And when I change the location, the service doesn't get started :(
BUT ! if i put a break; after adding only one proximityAlert,
everything works just fine.
So does anyone have a clue why it works for one and not for more
locations?
Am I missing a flag or something while creating the intents ?

[android-developers] Google maps: please fetch me a location
Hi. Excuse my noobishness, but I cannot find an answer on how to preform 'get location' operation on google maps. I don't need any special map view and just need the user to pick a location from google maps application. I found (http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app- intents.html) that you can start google maps app on a given location. Since the list of intent on that page is incomplete, I wonder, where can one find the complete list of intents that google maps can respond to ? In short, my app requires a user to pick some location from a map. Do I have to create a specialized MapView for this ?

[android-developers] Re: Registering for proximity alert doesn't work for more than one Location.
Great ! My conclusion was that the system somehow regarder the intents as 'invalid' (why else would it work for only one?). Thank you for shedding more light on the subject. I would never look at the filterEquals docs myself. It's working now. (I just changed the type) Cheers, Tomislav On Oct 19, 7:20 pm, TreKing treking...@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 2:04 AM, Hatch tomislav.hecimo...@gmail.com wrote: So does anyone have a clue why it works for one and not for more locations?

[android-developers] Location API. Detecting proximity to a given point
Hi all. I would like to 'be notified' when the user enters a given range of certain Geo point(s). For instance, one point could be School. When User is within 500m of the School he would get a notification (for example.) Is this the way to go: 1) Turn on LocationListener in a background service and ask for location update every 5 minutes (is that a lot?) on location update: 2) check whether new location is better than the last one 3) calculate distance of current location and School location. 4) if within range: do something. Am I transgressing something with such design ? The Idea is to have a kind of a 'proximity sensor' to certain predefined points.

[android-developers] Re: Location API. Detecting proximity to a given point
One more thing (looks related enough not to start a new topic:) The Location manager triggers the appropriate intents just fine (way to go !), but it seems I have to manually match with the original location. For instance, I request 'proximity reporting' to locations A, B, and C but by their parameters (lon, lat, and radius) The Location manager will trigger the proximity entering and provide me with location X. So now I need to run through all my locations to match which one's boundaries have been transgressed. Am I missing something, or that's the only way ? Thanks again.

[android-developers] Closing current activity when an action happens in custom view.
Hi all.
I have a toolbar view set for most of my activities.
The toolbar has several buttons which all trigger certain intents.
Now, the problem is:
how can I close current activity before starting another one ?
Problem 1) Activity cones
For instance one of the buttons ('A') starts activity A.
Activity A also has toolbar.
If you press on the 'A' button, a new A activity will be started.
I suppose I can look at Activity.getInstanceCount(), right ?
Problem 2) Unnecessary activities
The activity X is not needed any more if the opts for A. I just want A
then.
How can I remove X from toolbar which only has access to context ?
I, of course could find toolbar view inside activity X and override
the onClicks, but in general this would mean doing so for all my
activities !?
Am I on the right track ?

[android-developers] How to remove layout element
Hi, Sorry if this has been answered before, but I just cannot input the right term into search box to find the answer. Here's what's bugging me. To generalize a given screen as much as possible, I include several elements (button1, text1, button2, text2) Depending on the internal state, I would like to remove (for instance) element button2. Now, I've already tried (although in vain) by using button2.setVisibility(INVISIBLE). The element was not shown, but it consumed the screen area never the less (so it was there, but just not drawn nor active). 1) How do I completely remove button2 from layout ? 2) What's the proper way to deal with such requirement ? 2a) Create a common (most generic) layout and then remove elements by state or 2b) Create the least common denominator layout and then add elements by state ?

[android-developers] Re: How to remove layout element
Wow, that was fast. Way to go. It works as you suggested. Thanks !
