[android-developers] Call tab_indicator.xml from styles.xml
Hello, I'm trying to create a custom theme without relying in classes. Something that is easy enough to plug into an app. My problem is that the TabWidget in styles.xml doesn't reference tab_indicator.xml anywhere so I can't see a way of using a custom style unless I call the style from the layout file or the activity using the tab widget. This is the only reference I see in styles.xml style name=Widget.TabWidget item name=android:textAppearance@style/TextAppearance.Widget.TabWidget/item item name=ellipsizemarquee/item item name=singleLinetrue/item /style Any ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] ViewPager in honeycomb ignoring Application theme.
Hello, For some reason my application is ignoring the theme applied to the Application in the manifest file only inside a viewpager. I have an activity with 2 fragments: application android:icon=@drawable/ic_launcher android:label=@string/app_name android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light android:hardwareAccelerated=true The first fragment loads Holo.light just fine. But the second only applied Holo.Light on the button (which is outside the viewpager). Whatever I load using the ViewPager, it defaults to Holo. This is the second fragment: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=match_parent android:layout_height=match_parent android:orientation=vertical Button android:id=@+id/button1 android:layout_width=wrap_content android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=Button / android.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id=@+id/awesomepager android:layout_width=match_parent android:layout_height=match_parent / /LinearLayout By the way, this is on Android 3.1.

[android-developers] One click Run App
Hi, This may not be related to the Android SDK, but it will surely help me and maybe others.

[android-developers] Re: Installation unsuccessful - Package file was not signed correctly
I tried to install my application from the market once and got that error, then I completely removed the previous version I had and installed again from the market, it installed fine but for some really strange reason it wasn't able to connect to Internet. I removed the app from my phone again and installed the unsigned one from Eclipse and it worked fine. At the beginning I thought that the version I released was broken in some way but I didn't get any complain about not being able to connect. So I think it was caused by using different signatures.

Let's say this. You dump the log to a file during the running and if it crashes, next time the user loads the app he/she has an option of sending the report to you. That's should be a very good option.

[android-developers] Re: Apps labeled as Tetris Clones removed from Android Market
I think Tetris game mechanics are copyrighted. So maybe that's the main issue. I haven't tried your game but if it's a tetris clone, you can always expect to be pulled out from any market. Ivan Soto Fernandez Web Developer http://ivansotof.com On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 8:43 AM, tasos.klei...@gmail.com tasos.klei...@gmail.com wrote: On Saturday April 4th, I received a message from google saying that my game Robotic Space Rock was pulled from the android market after a request made by a legal firm representing an entity known as Tetris Company. My application was removed from the android market together with Blocks, Cubik, Net Tetris, Netblocks and Tetroid (6 apps in total) under claim that it violates the DMCA and more specifically trademarks and copyrighted material owned by the Tetris Company. However, none of the trademarks or copyrighted material (music, graphics and sound effects) are present in my game. Sound effects and music were created by me specifically for the game. There is no reference to the word tetris in the game. Additionally, all the game code, graphics and sound effects were created by me and published on the code site http://code.google.com/p/monolithandroid Additionally, I am not aware of a software patent covering the game mechanics of Tetris, so I cannot see how I could violate something that is not protected by a software patent. Also, even if the game was protected by a patent, the patent would have expired, since the original game, Tetris, was created 23 years ago. However game mechanics cannot be covered by patents. I would also like to point out that my game is available completely free of charge to every user of the android market. I wrote those concerns to Google and I sent an email to the EFF. The bottom line is that for my application to be restored on the android market, I have to send a DMCA counter-notification. And then the Tetris Company can sue and take the case to Court. When games were pulled from the iPhone App store, they blamed apple, but it is not hard to see that behind application removals we can find companies like the Tetris Company, that demand application removals claiming copyright infringement and trademarks. However, it is not easy to battle these companies as individual developers. I, for example, am a Greek citizen living in Greece, so it is difficult for me to file a counter-notification, because then the Tetris company will probably sue me and I will have to defend my case in court. Why should I bother? Am I making money out of the game? No! But even if I did you can see how easy it is for corporations to neutralize developers like that. I think that something should be done. Independent developers should get together to battle against such misuse of the law by corporations.

[android-developers] Taking a picture Intent?
Hi, I have an Activity for my application to take pictures and store them with a content provider.

It would be really good to get a post in the Android blog regarding this.I found out about the thread priority when coding my activity. My twitter app allows you to read stored tweets while it gets the new ones + pictures on background. It was scrolling really bad (like SlideMe) until I modified the thread.

I released an app that didn't do this. It's not obvious, I think. We are looking at more strongly enforcing that background applications can not take too many cycles from the foreground. I thought service threads were already niced down. The kernel scheduler doesn't use nice priorities effectively? The timeslices are too large? Is this a problem because the game expects to be able to peg the cpu for minutes or hours at a time? I don't think that's a realistic expectation. There's no magic scheduling change that can fix that assumption - if your app cannot tolerate losing the cpu for brief periods of time, it isn't suitable for a multi-tasking OS! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Thanks for explaining. Right now I'm using the efficient list method used on the ApiDemos so when the user scrolls it will refreshes the images that didn't load before.

[android-developers] Re: Cupcake coming in April? Where is the SDK?
Completely agree, This is one of the main issues I see in the platform. I can understand when they say that different devices can run different versions/revisions of the OS but that's only causing a fragmentation of the platform which won't be any good for both users and developers. I can already see the Market in the future to be like **Tested on G1-G2-Omnia** OR having applications released for some phones only if the Market gives that option in the future. The ability to have an early access to the next SDK is specifically so we can properly test applications before users. I'm pretty sure that if they release the SDK as late as they did last time, with a major upgrade like the one coming from the cupcake branch will break a lot of apps from the market. I'm pretty sure I don't know enough about the entire project to say this but I still see this a little unorganized (or rushed).

If the G2 is suppose to have an on-screen keyboard why developers still
don't have access to those features in the SDK/emulator.
I found some really annoying *usability* issues on my application when I
tested on an unofficial 1.5 image on the emulator because of the on screen

also a problem with this mailing list being filled by requests on the
use of the SDK but not the development of the SDK, maybe there should
be a newsgroup dedicated to the android-dev, while this one seems more

These are just ideas and questions, not a troll at all.

Thats the sort of thing you do with alpha/beta/rc tags. And community
participation.
At some point, someone at google says This is, barring problems, what
we
want to be 1.5. Now lets get it fixed. That can continue to happen
privately between google and the carriers, and you keep periodically
throwing releases to the community. This is how proprietary projects
run.
(Such as Symbian.)
Or, Google can step up and actually release an open, community
framework.
Tags for alpha, beta, rc releases. Limited platform/configuration
support in
early stages. Community feedback, patches and bug reports throughout.
Its cheaper, its faster, and you get fewer debacles like the g1 release
patchfest. Even if the problems are deep inside the guru code, and
there's
no chance anyone else can fix it, you STILL gain by offloading the rest
of
the work. (Go read LKML for a while if you want -lots- of examples of
that.
Its not common for someone new to the project to make deep, guru-level
fixes
and patches. But it -is- common for newcomers to take care of their own
bugs, make incremental improvements, help others and generally take
load off
the older members of the community.)
And to skip ahead in the thread:
{Quote Romainguy}
So far, only the 1.1 SDK was released after the firmware (and not long
after at that.) I don't understand the point of this discussion. We
know that the SDK should be released before the bits are placed on
actual devices and you know that as well. Since there's been no
announcement of Cupcake availability on actual handsets, why all this
fuss?
Because in a -community- project, things such as timelines, release
deadlines, requirements and so forth are public. In a proprietary
project,
they are generally private. (Although in the software/mobile space,
generally much less private than Android.) Google bills this as a
community
project but treats it as a proprietary one. So all the fuss is
because
people went Ooh! A community project! I'll help! and got told to
shove off
until it gets released.

To Carl, I fully acknowledge the iPhone shortcomings and the grant potential for Android, it's why I'm, perhaps blindly, an uber Android supporter. However, what I was actually trying to get at, which thankfully has been addressed by Paper and Bradley are the shortcomings, the specific features, functions, and usability that Android lacks. Even if you feel it is fully functional in your opinion, what is the next big feature, the next step in Android development, what you would love to see in Android, its next wild feature that may not even be supported by today's technology. It seems to me that Google, which has in my opinion the ability to create an OS three times as good as Apple's, has been dropping the ball a bit on Android, which in turn ruins its reputation, regardless of it's actual functionality. I can't begin to postulate the cause of this lackluster performance, however, personally I think it's that Google has no incentive to make it the best it can be because it makes no direct source of revenue (Al, the 30% isn't supposed to be for profit at all, but rather to clear up the costs of the transaction and corollary costs, so that Google breaks even). A view of a Google search on an iPhone equally profits Google as a Google search on an Android powered device. However, it could be argued that Google wants to be able to control the means that its users and customers access its product (an explanation that also gives reason as to why they developed Chrome). While I'd love to discuss Google's economic incentives and overall financial plan, that must be saved for a different thread. It was my intention that this thread would be a source where people invested in Android could list what features, functions they wish to see in Android, along with all other ideas as to what Google should do. If you were the Android project manager, what would you do, what ideas would you push, what issues would you resolve. Furthermore, it was meant as an area that Android developers could collaborate, critiquing, contributing to, and refining others' ideas. Healthy debate is good, and eventually if it becomes a large enough source of ideas for Android, it'll be noticed (or I'll send them the thread) by Google engineers working on Android and make it much simpler to implement the ideas. As Android developers, you know more about this than the average luddite, and in the spirit of open source, we must come together to work with Google and make Android everything we can imagine it to be.

HI, I've been waiting patiently to get paid applications on my phone with I had no luck.

My current version is 1.1 and Build number is 1.1 PLAT-RC33 126986 Should I already have paid apps showing up or this is normal?

[android-developers] Re: Will ADP1 support payed apps from the store
Yeah, big disappointment here. Google sells Developer phones to many countries like Canada but from here we are not allowed to sell application or view paid applications. This is not looking good for me since I don't see they will give a solution anytime soon. I'm really thinking to stop developing and move back the iPhone. Ivan 2009/2/26 vendor.net vendor@gmail.com Android Market is one of the powers of Android. One market for all android apps. The other companies like Samsung, Motorola and etc. have no big interest to make a different Markets. The center market is a big plus. There is no need to decentralize it. But this is not the point. My question is in other direction. Will be there a support for paid apps in ADP1. This problem should be solved. Amir Alagic написа: I really don't belive that Android Market has bright future. Everything is going slow and it is strange that developers can spend 400 dollars plus shipping... but we can't sell applications. But that is not the only reason I think that Android Market is going to loose its role. In future Samsung, LG and probably all other phone manufacturers will have their own Markets. Android OS is open source project and Samsung and other will probably remove Android Market from their phones and will put shortcut to their Market. Why to loose such opportunity? They want money and don't want to give 30% to Google when they can earn that money instead. I guess that phone manufacturers will create much better markets and when they do that it will be faster and better because they need to earn money now when phone sales are down. So we'll have to wait few more months but I guess that from october or november we'll have few first class markets available and only smaller companies that don't have its own Markets will let Google to ear 30%... But how long it will take before even smaller players create their Markets is just question of time. In the meanwhile switch to iPhone, Symbian or just continue to write Android applications and the real markets will come...

[android-developers] Re: Dev Phone and RC33 update
Completely agree also. I'm still in a WTF mood for the restriction of selling applications outside the states. I don't get the point of selling Dev1 phones to Canada but not allowing us to sell applications. I really feel like Ok, go ahead and play with the SDK, pay around $550 to get into development but you won't make money anytime soon. I don't see how can Android compete with the iPhone if you don't treat developers with the respect we deserve. I hope this changes. I only liked how Google does things but this time I'm really disappointed. ISF 2009/2/26 vendor.net vendor@gmail.com Totaly agree. This is funny! I believed in google and still believe. I was so excited about android and ADP1 and the opurtunity to explore competitors apps and code mine, but now I can`t do that. I still believe that goolge will come with some solution. And there is one more big issue: install apps on the SD card. 100mb free space is funny for a phone which can cary 16gb and can install tousands of apps. Now I have to delete some to save space... I thought that Android and G1/ADP1 can compete with iPhone, but with the current state it just has no power. Limited space for apps and developers hand tighten...

It's trivial to break the protection on a retail G1, so I can't imagine that restricting ADP1s will have *any* positive effect on infringement. Of course, it may have the opposite effect and encourage developers to seek out alternative ways of getting the apps that they're not allowed to legitimately purchase. Who is this restriction supposed to help? Android application developers. And who does it hurt? Android application developers.

[android-developers] Re: Setup Merchant Account link now available
I don't want my $25 back I just want to be able to sell applications. I wonder what was the point of allowing developers get Dev phones in Canada. I mean, it's nice to be able to publish free application but if we are going to be stuck on that until Google releases a phone in here it really killed the idea. A market is not really a market when you can just give stuff for free. I'm actually waiting for an announcement from Google saying when are we going to be able to sell apps _from_countries like Canada and not when are we going to get the phone.

[android-developers] Re: Setup Merchant Account link now available
I've been reading a lot about this whole Google Merchant thing and it's actually that Google Checkout only allows to sell goods from US and UK. It's not an Android thing, it's their system is not even complete and operational for all countries. Well, I know they will add more countries like they said in the email but I wonder what is the ETA on Canada. Google checkout has been working since 2006 I believe and people have been whining since then. Still nothing has been done. So seeing how slow is this going, I wonder if they will actually add Canada (or more countries) in a matter of months or years or what?

[android-developers] Re: Apple Why G1 Has No 3.5mm Headphone Input?
As a complete ignorant on patents and stuff like that I wonder: This means nobody ever can make multitouch phones or anything like that? I know the patent works for cellphones/mid but not for computers, since Windows 7 will have multitouch. On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 11:05 AM, Al Sutton a...@funkyandroid.com wrote: I don't think Apple had much to do with the 3.5mm jack decision because Nokias N95 has a 3.5mm jack and has been on sale in the US since 2007, and HTC are well known for not including a 3.5mm jack on their 'phones.

[android-developers] Not saving a file from URL...
Hi,
I'm starting on Java and Android and following a few tutorials I can't see
the reason why a file is not being saved
if I'm correct the file should be saved under /data/data/package/ right?
Any idea why
URL u = new URL(aurl);
Log.d(PIC SIZE, / + aurl);
int bufferLength = 128;
try {
URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
String ct = uc.getContentType();
int contentLength = uc.getContentLength();
if (ct.startsWith(text/) || contentLength == -1) {
System.err.println(This is not a binary file.);
return;
}
InputStream stream = uc.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[contentLength];
int bytesread = 0;
int offset = 0;
while (bytesread = 0) {
bytesread = stream.read(buffer, offset,
bufferLength);
if (bytesread == -1)
break;
offset += bytesread;
}
if (offset != contentLength) {
System.err.println(Error: Only read + offset +
bytes);
System.err.println(Expected + contentLength +
bytes);
}
String theFile = u.getFile();
theFile = theFile.substring(theFile.lastIndexOf('/') +
1);
FileOutputStream fout2 = null;
//fout2 = openFileOutput(asdasd, 0);
FileOutputStream fout = new
FileOutputStream(/sdcard/ + theFile);
fout.write(buffer);
fout.flush();
fout.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
}
In the log I get
ArrayIndexOutofBounds Exception...
Any idea?
Thanks

[android-developers] Accessing preferences
Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to understand how the preferences activity
works.
Right now I have an activity for my preferences using a XML layout that has
this:
CheckBoxPreference
android:key=checkbox_preference
android:title=Use light skin
android:summary=Use a white interface instead of the
default one. /
The thing is that everything I do in the preferences are saved. I can reboot
the emulator and I can access the preferences. I want to know how can I
access this key from another activity on my application.
this is my activity:
public class Config extends PreferenceActivity
implementsOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.layout.config);
}
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sharedPreferences,
String key) {
// Nothing here.
}
}
