[android-developers] Re: My Eclipse 3.5 always lag and have to force close - why?
It is taking precedence. Setting it to e.g. 2000M (using a 32 bit VM) stops Eclipse from starting stating the normal could not create Java virtual machine. No, L: is a local disk. :) Yes, 381.500 kB is about 381 MB . The 32 bit VM on my OS can create a VM with more than 1GB as Xmx, the limit is close to what I use as an argument. Trying to set -Xmx to a too large value will stop the VM from starting, at startup time, and not later. I talked to another developer who also is writing Android applications .He has not had any problems on a 32 bit version of Windows.

Btw. I'm actually not sure that the problem really is an out of memory exception. Yes, the log says so, but I think it's caused by an other unhandled exception, and then something is catching that exception and throws an out of memory exception.

I think it was stated previously in this thread. The problem isn't Eclipse. The problem is the Android plugin. I'm using Eclipse more than 8h per day at work, and I don't have any problems there (I'm not doing any Android development at work). I can also use Eclipse at home without any problems if I never switch to the design view, or edit Android xml files. Switching to design view or editing xml files means that my Eclipse (tested several different versions) craches within one hour. Often several times per hour, and it's always a related to a memory problem, and it's due to leaking handles. Looks like it's either directly related to editing, or generation of R.

There is a bug rampant in Vista and not unlikely in Win7 that causes some sort of background activity causing 40-60% CPU utilization, with nothing else going on, and no process showing more than 2%. (System Idle Process shows 85-90%.) Folks with desktop boxes might miss this, but folks with laptops notice it because the CPU fan is running full bore when nothing is going on.

[android-developers] Re: currentTimeMillis() doesnt match on two concurrent emulators
Have you checked all entried in logcat to see if you can see anything odd? I had e.g. a loop where each iteration did something like: Log.i(TAG, Forecast expires at + aJavaDateInstanceRepresentingExpirationDateTime); Each execution of that log statement took about 1-2 seconds since date.toString() caused a resource bundle to be loaded by Android OS. I can't understand why it is implemented like that, and isn't cached, but I wasted about 10 seconds there. On 11 mar, 05:01, Samsyn d...@synthetic-reality.com wrote: Thanks, Robert! yes, don't worry, I wasn't doing that. :-) Basically the server has the master time, each client has a dynamic ping value to the server, which is also shared with the other clients for suitable adjustments. at key moments a client notes the local currentMillis() value matching an important server time value, computes a delta which it can then use to move between currentMillis and server time as needed (until the next Important Event freshens the sync). Important Events occur frequently enough to keep the clients reasonably well synched, so long as I can depend on currentMillis to actually move forward in real time (i.e. 500 ms from now, I need it to be roughly 500 counts higher). Though a little jitter doesn't bother me, seeing it jump 10 SECONDS in a 2 second period was causing me alarm. I will, of course, fail if the client changes their clock setting in mid-game. And I suppose the phone itself could initiate such a change based on some signal from the provider, but I tell myself it will only fail 'a little' in that case (assuming the hardware is not horribly defective), so I choose not to worry about that. (knowing that I COULD use the nanotime to remove that sensitivity, but something makes me prefer currentMillis right now... some unproven suspicion that it is a cheaper computation.) And I assume what was happening before was that running multiple emulators under eclipse was starving them of cpu to such a degree that an internal emulation of the phone clock was missing some important polled event. I can't decide if I think that's cool or not. Would it be cheating for the emulator to just read the host hardware clock?... I guess so. So instead it probably reads a simulation of the nanoclock, which turns out to be unreliable in a low cpu cycle environment. And manually running emulators in separate CMD windows seems to help it take advantage of the host's multiple cores. Which I guess would be asking Eclipse a lot to do, given that it is also giving me all those nice debug hooks :-) I shouldn't be so demanding.

I don't think that that is totally correct. You can handle multiple screen sizes, and still make the app work on 1.5.

[android-developers] Re: What does the prefix 'm' stand for ?
I don't buy that argument since since all of the core classes in Java are written without prefixes of any kind, and many of the classes were implemented before IDEs became popular. I do also think that the convention would have been added to the Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language (http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/ CodeConvTOC.doc.html) if Sun thought that it added some great value. One thing that I have observed (it could be 100% wrong, but it's based on reading Java code since the language was released in 1996) is that most people who think they need prefixes and odd conventions write too long methods, or too complex logic, and often in combination with classes that are doing more than one thing. There's not need of prefixing if your methods are short and easy to read (IMHO). On 22 Feb, 17:05, Romain Guy romain...@android.com wrote: I myself am not fond of prefixes, especially since languages like Java already have this. when you need to distinguish local vars vs members. Also, modern IDEs highlight fields differently from local variables. It does make sense however on a project like Android where not everybody is necessarily using an IDE.

That's because you change sText before it has been displayed, so the

Thanks, Just what I thought. I will currently only support 4 languages, but the size of the apk is almost 400 kB already, and that's with only one language. Just wanted to try and keep the apk as small as possible. I will however include the other languages in the APK since they only will add something like 50 kB (or less I hope).

[android-developers] Re: URLconnection.setConnectTimeout doesn't work?
Thanks for the answer, but I found out why I saw the strange behaviour. The code was invoked by a Service that hadn't acquired a WakeLock. Acquiring a WakeLock (PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK) solved the problem with setConnectTimeout behaving in a strange way. One thing that still is odd is that the first connection attempt always get a timeout. I then try to a connect again, and that one succeeds. Does anyone know what might cause this?

One way is to go with alternative markets (like slideme) which provide online activation (slidelock in case of slideme). But more challenging (and interesting!) is to integrate protection with android's own market. I can think of three schemes: (1) Be able to supply an unique token to the user when he buys an app, and have him enter that token later in the app to activate it. (2) Somehow know which (by some id) phone is buying, and generate an app that will run only on that particular phone. (3) Generate an unique apk for each purchase and then let user through activation process which will tie an unique app id to the unique phone id. All this methods assume that app is protected (the interesting part) and can't be easily cracked. Now, as I understand options (2) and (3) is not available. We don't know anything about buying phone nor can we generate an apks. What about (1)? [I'm asking because I know nothing about commercial aspect of the market.] Or maybe there are other options?

It's incorrect to believe that hackers/crackers wouldn't care about removing the protection from a cheap products. The hackers/crackers don't care about the price of the product, they just want to get famous so they crack the most popular applications regardless of price. They don't think in economical terms. People who are buying products are however thinking in econimical terms, so they might be less interested in looking for a cracked version if the product is cheap, so having copy protection on a $1 product might be close to worthless.

I don't think that the process is crashing, at least not in the emulator since I can see all these logging messages: 11-07 23:11:33.849: WARN/UsageStats(61): Something wrong here, didn't expect mypackagename to be resumed There are lots of them. It looks like it gets stuck in some kind of loop. Btw. It used to work, and I think it is great that it used to work. There are lots of people in the world who speak more than one language, where none of the languages are English, or they might understand English but have two other languages as preferred languages. Setting the OS locale to Swedish would make the application display the English resources if Swedish isn't available, but an application that I have installed might support e.g .Spanish, and that could be preferred over English.

Thanks I'll do so. Btw. This was the only way that I knew of in which I would be able to let users select Swedish as application language.

[android-developers] Force locale for an application, bug in 2.0?
Hi,
I got a widget that currently is working with Android 1.5 and 1.6. A
user who has Motorola Droid phone with Android 2.0 did however report
a bug.
After some digging around I found that this is causing a bug that
causes an infinite loop:
String languageToLoad = en;
if (configuration != null configuration.language == 1) {
languageToLoad = sv;
}
Locale locale = new Locale(languageToLoad);
Locale.setDefault(locale);
android.content.res.Configuration config = new
android.content.res.Configuration();
config.locale = locale;
//Causes bug in Android 2.0. But why?
context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, context.getResources
().getDisplayMetrics());
The thing that happens is that my activity gets displayed for a very
very short time, then it is hidden, and gets displayed again. It looks
like flickering, but the logging output says this:
11-07 23:11:33.849: WARN/UsageStats(61): Something wrong here, didn't
expect mypackagename to be resumed
11-07 23:11:34.339: WARN/UsageStats(61): Something wrong here, didn't
expect mypackagename to be resumed
11-07 23:11:34.829: WARN/UsageStats(61): Something wrong here, didn't
expect mypackagename to be resumed
11-07 23:11:35.309: WARN/UsageStats(61): Something wrong here, didn't
expect mypackagename to be resumed
Everything works fine if I remove the following line:
context.getResources().updateConfiguration(config, context.getResources
().getDisplayMetrics());
Does anyone know what to do in order to solve the problem? Should I
report this bug?
Does anyone know how to check the API version on the phone so that I
at least can add a quickfix? (A conditional check and only invoce
updateConfiguration if the API version is less than 5)
Thanks
Kaj

You haven't told us how many dots that you have, but I do think it
sounds like an odd design. What kind of application is it? How often
are they moved? How many dots do you have? What do they represent?
I might of course be wrong here, but this sounds a bit like a common

programming and is using e.g. one thread per bullet or what ever
they have that is moving.

Using a dotmanager, isnt it more expensive to go through all the dots an

Any ideas on that?

That code contains at least one bug.
This loop isn't correct:
while (bis.read(temp) 0) {
out.write(temp);
}
bis.read returns the number of bytes that was read, that number can be
larger than 0 but still less than temp.length. You should do something
like this instead:
int len = 0;
while (( len = bis.read(temp)) 0) {
out.write(temp, 0, len);
}
Your file wile otherwise be corrupt.

[android-developers] Re: ALL DEVELOPERS PIRATED APPLICATION ALL OVER!
What didn't you understand in my last reply? It is trivial unless I
have misunderstood something.
I guess you got unit tests? Now take the code below. Replace the
download/decrypt code in your unit tests with something like what I
posted previously:
Properties license = new Properties();
license.put(p, TelephonyMgr.getLine1Number());
license.put(d, Settings.System.getString(getContentResolver(),
Settings.System.ANDROID_ID);
license.put(e, aDateInTheFuture);
Then run your unit tests again. Downloading won't fail since we have
_replaced_ the download code, and no decryption would fail, since we
aren't decrypting anything. We replaced that code as well. You don't
even need to find all license check snippets that the developer has
springled his code with, since they all will check against our valid
license that we created above.
I really can't believe that you don't see this. Please tell me in what
way it fails given my description above.

We're going to update the page, but we'd kind of assumed it was an

As for your latest idea, the download code downloads an encrypted file

I think you get my point. You may think it's trivial to circumvent,
but when you get down to it there are various things we've done to
make it a lot trickier than an initial inspection would make you
believe, which is why you've still not come up with a reproducable
system for cracking it. Even if you did crack a version of an
application, the steps you took wouldn't be easily reproduced for
other applications and even other versions of the application if the
developer moved the decryption/test code around.

[android-developers] Re: ALL DEVELOPERS PIRATED APPLICATION ALL OVER!
As I said previously. I have tried to protected java applications, and I have done what I described with pure java applications, without having the source code (I have even done it in assembler/machine code on non java applications). I don't know much about the dex format and what tools that are available to modify compiled classes, but it's only a matter of time before they are here, if they don't exist right now. Crackers don't think about if a program is expensive or not. They only want to get known for their talents, and they crack all popular applications, even if they are almost for free. So all popular applications get cracked, regardless of price, and time isn't an issue for the cracker. He doesn't think in economical terms.

If you had the original source code then yes, you could do a drop in replacement, but if you had the source code you could easily strip out any protection mechanism.

Case 2 doesn't hold. It's still a bit of security by obscurity. There are several ways to remove what you describe. One way would be to run the program in the emulator/debugger and see where it fails. Then check what that method does and correct the logic. Run it again in the emulator to see if it still fails, then patch the next place. This is usually how programs written in other languages are cracked. (E.g. written i C/C++). Cracking in those cases is usually done in a debugger for assembler. What I described in the scenario above is where they aren't using any code from you. I don't know what your code look like, or what it does. But I still guess that you have classes that others can use. It's in that case pretty easy to stub those classes out, and cracking all programs in your market would in that case mean that they just have to find out how your protection works, stub out code from you, and then apply it to all programs.

[android-developers] Re: Programming for performance.
You don't need xml to represent hierarchies.
You can represent your notes like this, and write your data in this
way (if you want to use binary):
public static byte[] encode(final ArrayListNote notes) throws
IOException {
int size = notes.size();
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream
(NOTE_AVERAGE_SIZE * size);
DataOutputStream data = new DataOutputStream(out);
for (int i = 0; i size; i++) {
Note note = notes.get(i);
data.writeUTF(note.parentFolder != null ?
note.parentFolder : );
data.writeUTF(note.title != null ? note.title : );
data.writeUTF(note.text != null ? note.text : );
}
data.flush();
return out.toByteArray();
}
public static final class Note {
public Note(String parentFolder, String title, String text) {
this.parentFolder = parentFolder;
this.title = title;
this.text = text;
}
public String parentFolder;
public String title;
public String text;
}
All you need to do when you read is to use a Map where you place notes
that belong to a certain folder. You can have unlimited depth if you
do that.

a lot when I need to import/export data or just ship files around on a

XML parsers, streaming or in-memory DOM are time consuming and often
not ncessary when you're working with simple data like strings. XML
is best used when you need to tag the data with a lot of attributes.
Not only that, but XML bloats the memory requirements of your
application multiple times because you have to save all XML characters
(e.g. '', '=').
You'll get the most speed out of processing, especially I/O operations
if you first reduce each note to a binary form (e.g. array of
characters). If you need to store all the notes in a single file,
then I would suggest some format like this:
HEADER LENGTH STRING HEADER LENGTH STRING .etc .
Here's some code.
public static byte[] encode(String s){
byte[] header = CAFEBABE.getBytes(); // or some other
magic token
byte[] chars = s.getBytes();
byte[] sizeBytes = intToByteArray(chars.length); // convert
an int
to a byte array - defined elsewhere.
int totalLength = header.length + chars.length +
sizeBytes.length;
ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(totalLength);
buf.put(header);
buf.put(sizeBytes);
buf.put(chars);
buf.position(0);
return buf.array();
}
Pass each string in, and then pack the results from each call into
your file.

The code to decode a license is less than 15 lines long and uses

This means that each application would need to go through a full
track, crack, and re-compile cycle (which as others have said is non-
trivial and takes a fair amount of time), and developers are free to
move the decrypt/test code around between versions of their app which
would then require another full track, crack, and re-compile cycle
before the new version could be made available, which, for a 99c app,
is not going to be worth the effort for most crackers.
This part is security by obscurity but it's layered in with secure
cryptography in the license as an addition measure to make cracking
harder than if we distributed pre-build jars which a cracker could

The demo code is to cover all bases for all types of license where the
properties in the license are unknown. If you know that you'll be
using a specific license property your app should enter demo mode if
that property isn't present.

Sorry to say, but there's a huge flaw in your examples. The snippet
below is taken from your link:
X509EncodedKeySpec keySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec
(ANDAPPSTORE_APP_KEY);
KeyFactory factory = KeyFactory.getInstance(RSA);
PublicKey key = factory.generatePublic(keySpec);
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance(RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding);
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
byte[] original = cipher.doFinal(LICENSE);
Properties props = new Properties();
props.clear();
ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(original);
try {
props.load(bis);
} finally {
bis.close();
}
Very few classes are using using e.g X509EncodedKeySpec, so it's very
easy to find all classes that are using it, and it's thus very easy to
find that section of code. Now replace all operands in the class file
with no operation instead, except this part:
Properties props = new Properties();
I.e. we are creating an empty license.
Now read all your other code snippets with this in mind.
E.g.
4(c)(i). Testing the phone number
String licensePhoneNumber = license.getProperty(p);
if( licensePhoneNumber != null ) { //Uh, uh. An empty license
returns null, we won't do any checks.
TelephonyManager TelephonyMgr =
(TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String devicePhoneNumber = TelephonyMgr.getLine1Number();
if(licensePhoneNumber.equals(devicePhoneNumber) == false) {
throw new RuntimeException(** Phone Number Check Failed **);
}
}
Remember that license now is an empty instance of Properties. The code
above will say that it is a valid license, and so will all of your
other tests as well.
On 23 Juli, 12:11, Al Sutton a...@funkyandroid.com wrote:
We don't provice jars specifically for this reason.
The code to decode a license is less than 15 lines long and uses
standard java classes (i.e. nothing specific to the system or even to
Android). The code to test license properties is less than 10 lines
and again uses only java classes. You can see the code
athttp://andappstore.com/AndroidApplications/licensing_4.jsp
This means that each application would need to go through a full
track, crack, and re-compile cycle (which as others have said is non-
trivial and takes a fair amount of time), and developers are free to
move the decrypt/test code around between versions of their app which
would then require another full track, crack, and re-compile cycle
before the new version could be made available, which, for a 99c app,
is not going to be worth the effort for most crackers.
This part is security by obscurity but it's layered in with secure
cryptography in the license as an addition measure to make cracking
harder than if we distributed pre-build jars which a cracker could
swap out.

Case 2 doesn't hold. It's still a bit of security by obscurity.
There are several ways to remove what you describe. One way would be
to run the program in the emulator/debugger and see where it fails.
Then check what that method does and correct the logic. Run it again
in the emulator to see if it still fails, then patch the next place.
This is usually how programs written in other languages are cracked.
(E.g. written i C/C++). Cracking in those cases is usually done in a
debugger for assembler.
What I described in the scenario above is where they aren't using any
code from you.

It's a fact of life, alas. Every piece of software is pirated. I just hope that most people think that 99 cents or a couple of bucks is not worth getting a pirated version. Well said. Piracy will always exist. Our task, as a developer, is to create something that is so good so that people want to pay for it. Many developers think that people would pay for the application if they couldn't find a pirate version of it. That is probably not true. They are using it just because they found it for free.
