[android-developers] NFC Concerns

[android-developers] TTS User controlled
So I would say I am pretty much the office guru when it comes to TTS in Android Applications, I can enable, install and make it say pretty much whatever I want at this point. Someone in my office had the gale to ask me if I could make it stop talking as a setting and I said sure. Well This is where I am stuck. I know there is stop feature but that would mean putting stops all over my source code. And then I thought well I could make a conditional variable in the settings to my application. But that to would require several checkpoints all through out the source code. So I was looking around in the API trying to find a quick fix and can't seem to find any indicator other than that I will need lots of check points in the code. Does anyone know of a Global way to enable or disable TTS based on a user input. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Dianne Thank you for your time in clearing up this matter. I now have clear understanding. Again thank you. On Jan 11, 1:11 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Your phrasing is confusing. The CDD *requires* that for a device to ship with Market it *must* have full ADB support. This is what you use to develop applications on a device: install them, debug them, and everything else involved with development. Being able to install non-Market apps as a *user* (not a *developer*) through the UI is a completely different issue, not covered by the CDD, and not impacting a developer who is developing apps on their device. You as a developer are perfectly capable of installing your own apps on any device that has Market. You will not be able to put those apps up on a web site for users to download outside of Market. Also developer phone != out of contract. In fact, developer phone is a bad term to use. Every Android phone with Market is a third party developer phone. There are a few phones that allow reflashing of their system images, which is intended for developers of the platform itself to be able to replace the entire firmware with their own build. Also these phones aren't only available out of contract; it is a decision that the manufacturer makes that is independent of how they sell it. (Google being the only one I believe doing this with the Nexus phones, and both models so far have been available with or without contract, because they are intended to be great for end users as much as being a tool for platform developers.)

[android-developers] Amazon to Policy Android Market Place
The almighty Amazon.com feels that is should police the Android Market for proper applications. On one hand I think this could be a good idea but on the other hand this feels took much like an Apple iOS development clone. With Amazon developing its own market place and limiting which apps can appear there you are guaranteed a visible market for your application. People who pursue amazon will know that your app may meet some sort of standard and may consider buying it. But just as good as that is, if Amazon is backed up with testing your application and like apple takes two weeks to reject your application based on some sort of merit what is to stop me from just uploading my application directly to the market place. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. As someone who develops on both sides of the spectrum I don't see the implement of this Amazon App Market place as a good idea. I am curious as to other developers take on this and how many plan to actually develop to meet the amazon market guidelines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Also note that connecting directly to the database means that the database is exposed on the net in general and will present security problems.

I am working on replacing JSON and direct connection to database. I know using direct connection to database is extremely costly in android since I need to call on much the java library to so. And the only replace for such costly processing would be to put the burden onto something else like a online website handling incoming data and sending outgoing results. I already have a though on how to implement this. But as for a replace of the JSON Objects I am not sure what options are available to me. Is there any thoughts on a substitution for JSON? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Android TTS for Chinese
David, You dont need to wait for Android to support it per say. Depending on the engine used, you can have it speak in chinese. I am not sure if there is a chinese engine out there already but you could make it a requirement for your app like how the android tts engine checks for itself before the app starts. Then send the user to the market place to download the engine thus enabling the speaking component of your application.

[android-developers] Proposal to Market Place
As a developer I find it difficult to understanding ratings sometime. 1 to 5 is a good scale. But here is the problem with scale you can have people give you a five for the sake of giving you a five or a person give you one just because they want to be jerks. I would like to propose a change to the market rating system where a rate of 1 or 5 must include comments. If I am receiving a one due to technical problems or display problems I would want to know and not search my code for hours trying to find what may be the reason for the one rate. Also with the 5 I would like to know what is working so very good on my app that I could continue to use it in future developments. This way as we develop more apps we can get a better sense as what the rating really mean and the ppl who are rating the apps really think about them. 1 and 5 the extremes should require feedback as the 2 to 4 are mostly middle ground and could be left alone for the average jerk to rate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Free version to Paid version
pretty much thats the general method being used. One thing to consider is unpublishing the app and releasing a paid version in its place. But users may find that kinda a slap in the face. I would say do as your doing, add features to the app and call it app Plus and charge money for it. Remember though those feature need to be worth the price you apply to the app though. What you can do is remove features in an update to your free app and keep them in your paid version.

[android-developers] Re: Android onClick seems to be blocking onFling
I think that onClick() is an Override event. I am not to familiar with
your onFling but if its a user created class it will most likely
remain dormant due to the the digitizer recognizing the onClick and
not registering your onFling.

I have an Activity that implements a Gesture Detector to catch the

area (in a LinearLayout) I have on my screen. The resultsClick method
is wired to the TextView using its onClick property in the XML layout.

[android-developers] Background error reporting on HttpPost
I am running a background service were data is posted to an online site that process the information to post to online database. The problem i am encountering is that with the data being posted if there is an error there is not immediate way for me to know. i am considering several options. First is having a handler on the website to send me and email that there was error parsing the data. But the problem here is that this has its own restriction with getting and receiving data. Also if the site is down there would be no immediate verifier for me. The idea would be that there is an critical fail post to the phone. I execute the connection and there is no problem and the data is passed to my parameter holder it then send the data to site. Data is processed and even though there is an error on the side of the side there is nothing to tell me so on the phone. I necessarily dont need the user to know that it failed but I need something phone side to tell me there is a problem.

[android-developers] Re: Android Market, specify products in Dollars instead of euros.
So here is my question to this. I have two places I can develop out of. I can develop out of Latvia and out of the USA. So if I was posting a new app in Latvia the currency would be LAT? And if I posted the app here in the USA the currency would be USD? On Nov 19, 11:28 am, sblantipodi perini.dav...@dpsoftware.org wrote: good suggestions, I have never thought about that. Thanks!

But, depending on how much you sell (in terms of money totals) you may want to consider forming LLC in US and then selling thru it. You would need to check couple of things with your local financial/fiscal advisor (i.e. to see if your law does not forbid anything like that or how taxes would look) but if you form it right and it right state, then it should pretty much work fine. But I'd just leave that idea if the only reason is currency - too much hassle and not much real benefits if you ask me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: make JPEG image has map
Im not sure of sample code for this, but here is how I would implement this. You dont necessarily need a map. An image view with a moving curses could be possible. You would set the location on the cursor in the image by using GPS location. You can receive lat and lon to your device. You would then convert those positions to X and Y respectively on your display. Then every time the location updates the cursor would move on your map.

[android-developers] Re: streaming mp4 from Internet
If this video is your video is stored locally on your computer. If its not video, ie you are trying to steam from Youtube or something like that that is streaming this video on the web then you will not be able to do so. You must have admin access to the video for it to be your video. MP4Box is tool to repair the video file before it reaches your device. You do not run the repair on the device because while Android are robust the battery need to repair small video will consume too large a portion of battery.

You do not run MP4Box on the device. Either this is your video, or it is not. If it is your video, on your PC, run MP4Box on the video file, and arrange it so your device can download the repaired file. If this is not your video, you simply cannot play it streaming. You are welcome to download the video and play it locally. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books:http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Anyone seeing mysterious application crashes lately?
I believe there was a recent sweep of the market. And i think there was also a market update. So this maybe some of the reasoning for this.

[...] I am wondering if anyone else is seeing strange errors like these, and whether they can be caused by devices that have really low-quality firmware, either custom, or on devices that were not verified by Google. I've not seen your particular ones, but I certainly see odd stuff - like 6 months old versions of my free apps crashing on 1.0 firmware (seemingly G1) as well as on seemingly lab boards. Some of these apps are very much tailored for use ONLY in Sweden, but they still seem to originate from Spain, Russia, China and the like... My best guess is that there is a fair amount of people who just randomly rip apps from the Market and use them to monkey test their hardware/firmware with. Initially I was curious, I've given up to try to make sense of it. Sometimes their extreme test cases are actually somewhat useful - I've caught a few odd states (the last one was the system be unable to select an image - seems unlikely, but...)

[android-developers] TTS not inheritable?
i have setup a basic TTS class to run for all files in a my app. When I pass items to synthesis speak the app crashes. I have tried many different ways of passing the variable changing returns and what not. I compiles every time but the app still crashes when the synthesis is suppose to occur. The only working solution I have found was to but the TTS engine and synthesis in each class of my application as needed. Is there a work around for this because otherwise I have lots of bulky useless code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
