[android-developers] Recovering Account from 3rd Party Developer
My company has an app in the Google Play setup by a 3rd party developer. We have developed a new app and would like to replace the old app, but we do not have access to the account nor is the 3rd party developer responsive to requests. Is there a way to recover this account? Thanks, ml -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: in-app billing disconnects from activity on configuration change
It seems like the main problem is that you're initiating IAB from an activity, not a service. Activity lifetime is governed primarily by user actions, so an activity is rarely the right container for something that needs to respond to events that aren't initiated by the user. On Tuesday, September 24, 2013 7:35:26 PM UTC-7, Ted Hopp wrote: In testing an app with in-app billing, we found a nasty problem that occurs if there is a configuration change while a purchase flow is in progress. The initiating activity is destroyed and restarted, breaking the link from Google checkout process to the activity. To the user, it appears that the purchase flow is intact, but when the purchase is complete, the activity does not receive a result; hence the app is not informed of the purchase. This results in a very bad user experience--the user has spent money, but the app behaves as if it didn't happen! (If the user exits the app and restarts, it will re-query IAB and notice the change, but that's not a viable solution.) I suppose I could declare in the manifest that the activity that initiates the purchase will handle all configuration changes internally, but that seems rather extreme (not to mention difficult to implement, as we currently rely on the restart to recreate the activity with the correct resources). Are there any recommended best practices for how to deal with this? I should note that we also implemented in-app purchasing for the Amazon Appstore version of the app. Their library does not seem to have the same problem: the user can start a purchase, change device orientation, and complete the transaction, and the activity correctly receives the result. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Maps api key v1?
On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 4:01 PM, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.comwrote: There is a world of a difference, Ian, between updating our software and completely breaking an entire set of APIs. Google did the latter. Many other companies instead keep the old APIs working for years, encouraging developers to develop only for the new API set. But we *are* keeping the old APIs working for years. The deprecation is following the normal Google policy. Existing users will be supported for some time to come--something on the order of three years, if I recall correctly. What we're not doing is issuing new keys. I'm unable to think of a way of deprecating an API that's significantly more fair than that. Now Google may have had a good reason for completely scrapping v1 and forcing everyone to migrate to v2 with no backwards compatibility -- but did Google ever communicate this to developers? I never saw this. Evidently, neither did a number of contributors to this thread. We did communicate this via G+ and a fairly prominent paragraph on the Maps API page. We probably could have done more communicating directly from the Android team. As it was, we let the Maps team communicate the change, and perhaps missed many Android developers. Finally, why are you even asking if he got a v1 API key? Even his first post should have made it clear that he got further than that in the development process. For you to insinuate that he did not even get this far shows both laziness on your part and contempt for Google's customers and partners, developers. I think you're being overly harsh with me and overly kind to the OP. I'm not familiar with his development process, but I'm fairly certain that had he requested a key, it would still be operational (see my comments about the deprecation policy, above). If I understood the original post, the developer claimed that he fully developed an app, waited for a period of several months, and then requested a key just before he intended to go live. Perhaps he used someone else's key during development? In any case, you appear to be assuming that we shut down a service without informing its users. This is not the case. We stopped accepting new users into a service which we intend to keep online for a period of several years. No existing users were affected by this change. No users who obtained an API key before beginning development (as they were clearly instructed to do) should have been affected. Hence, my question. If the OP has a key that is not working, then I will do everything within my power to fix that for him. However, it appears that what he has is no key, and no plausible reason for why he didn't obtain a key when it was possible for him to do so. That's significantly more difficult for me to fix.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Eclipse or Intellij.. what's the verdict?
I don't care to argue about the superiority or inferiority of each product; I'll just say that after trying Xcode, Eclipse, and IntelliJ (and after having used Visual Studio since version 2.0), IntelliJ was the one product that made intuitive sense to me. I assume that this is because its paradigm is similar in many ways to Visual Studio, not because it's inherently better. I will, however, stand by my observation that NDK development in Eclipse is no fun at all. That isn't necessarily the fault of Eclipse.

Kristopher is right that socket programming isn't really an Android-specific topic. We try to produce samples that won't duplicate information you could find elsewhere. Might be reasonable to have a sample on how to move your network code off of the UI thread, though. Android provides a rich set of classes that help with this, but it can be hard for a newcomer to figure out which APIs to use when.

Re: [android-developers] New In-app billing (v3)

If this is the case, I hesitate to put this burden on my users. IABv3 is built into Google Play services, so it requires an update to the Play Services apk. V2 was built into the Play store client itself. The cache/EULA issue isn't specifically related to IAB, it's related to setting up Play Services (and hopefully is unnecessary for most users, the cache part anyway). It's a bummer to be in this transition period where Play Services has to be updated before your app can take advantage of it, but I think most people would agree that it's better than waiting for an OS upgrade. Also, it would help if you list the ways 'in which to get AIBv2 wrong' as you put it? Every day, I am still seeing at least 3% of my users paying for purchases that never arrive. The most common issue was the one that Dan Galpin and I outlined in our I/O 2012 talk, 10 things all game developers should know. Under IABv2 it was unlikely but possible for the billing confirmation to arrive at a time when your app wasn't running. Many developers, especially game developers with substantial amounts of C++ code, had written their billing service in a way that assumed that it was always started by their app and that the app was always running when the billing service was alive. This isn't a valid assumption. The fix is usually to add some persistence code to the billing service, so that the app can check for new receipts when it starts running again. Ironically, the most common reason for your app to not be running when the confirmation arrives is that it was killed to make room for Google Play to run.

Re: [android-developers] New In-app billing (v3)
I think you may be confusing the client-side helpers for Google Play Services with the actual Google Play Services interface. GPS is a service and it is accessed like any service, via either intents or AIDL. Billing v3 is simple enough that it doesn't really need any further client-side help. But we made a sample anyway, mostly because we realize that things like service lifetimes and background threads are hard to get right. For those who are wondering if you should switch: the answer is probably yes. IABv2 turned out to be very, very easy to get wrong. V3 is pretty easy to get right. There are a couple things that v3 doesn't support yet (subscriptions, mostly) but if v3 covers your needs, you should use it.

Re: [android-developers] Webapp with in-app Billing
I guess it depends on what you mean by Web App. If you are talking about a purely Web-driven application that the user gets to by browsing to your website in Chrome or another browser, then you don't need to do anything special for Android. I suspect, however, that you are talking about an Android app where most of the logic is in Javascript running in a WebView. In this case, you must have an Activity that created the WebView. This Activity is the logical place to initiate in-app billing. You can't call the in-app billing API directly from Javascript, but you can write a Java method to do it and then inject that Java method into your Javascript using WebView.addJavascriptInterfacehttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html#addJavascriptInterface(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String).

[android-developers] Re: Difference between Android and Linux Kernel ?
MIPS rate isn't a particularly helpful measurement, especially if you're just looking at peak MIPS. This is particularly important when comparing two completely different instruction sets, but even on identical instruction sets this is a misleading measurement. The core architecture, cache sizes, and memory bus will have as much or more impact on real-world performance.

Re: [android-developers] Re: LVL suddently stopped working - returns only timeouts
On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 1:09 PM, Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com wrote: 2012/8/16 Ian Ni-Lewis ile...@google.com Who did you contact at Google? I don't personally know anyone at Google, and not sure if Google employees with G+ accounts would appreciate a random person trying to contact them. I wasn't suggesting that. My question was how you had tried to contact Google. I assume that contacting android-developers@ wasn't your first attempt at raising the issue. If it was, I'd suggest a different strategy in the future. No one who frequents this list has access to the Google Play servers. Sending support requests via Market support links has been almost useless in my experience. The form at http://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/request.py?contact_type=publishing is monitored and they are currently turning all issues around within a couple of days. You should also keep an eye on the Known Issues page. You won't find any answers to Google Play account issues on the android-* forums. That's funny. Google employees including yourself keep saying that, but shouldn't someone monitor this list for Market issues, since they do come up regularly? I realize it's frustrating, but you have to keep in mind that this list isn't a support forum. And it's definitely not a support forum for Google Play issues, because most Play Store issues are specific to a single developer and resolving those issues often requires obtaining sensitive information. The right way to seek help from the Play Store team is to use the support form I linked earlier. You might also want to keep in mind that this is not a monitored list in the sense that it's someone's job to read and respond to posts. The engineers who read this list are doing so out of the goodness of their hearts, in their spare time. There are people whose job it is to answer Android engineering questions. They hang out on Stack Overflow, because they feel like they're able to be more effective and efficient using Stack Overflow. One such place used to be the Market help forums, however, last August developers were asked to stop posting there. I don't know all of the reasons for that policy change, but there are two good reasons I can think of: - Help forums don't offer a good way of tracking or enforcing turnaround times. The form I linked earlier feeds into a support queue tool that generates stats on how many tickets have been handled and what the response time is. - As I mentioned earlier, a large number of Google Play issues tend to be sensitive or private in nature, so a forum isn't necessarily the best way to answer them.

[android-developers] Raw Touchscreen Data
Hello all - I've been tasked with determining if the capacitance touchscreen on a android device is sensitive enough to provide even a partial fingerprint. During my research I'm coming to the conclusion that no, most devices does not have enough electrodes to determine the variation between the ridge/valleys of a print but I'm also suspecting the hardware doesn't do much more than provide X,Y coordinates to the software. My question is, when you develop for android is there a way to get access to the touchscreen raw data? An alternate, semi-related question, by chance does anyone here know how the hardware on a capacitance fingerprint scanner works differently than a capacitance touchscreen? It seems they utilize similar technology but perhaps the density of electrodes on a touchscreen is much less? I'm at a loss here. Thanks for your time.

I think you might be underestimating the sheer scale of Android Market these days. How many new apps and app updates get uploaded every day, do you think? Take a guess--I can almost guarantee you're low by an order of magnitude or 2. A literal what's new would refresh so often that any new app would be lucky to get even a couple of extra hits out of it. That's not to say that Android Market shouldn't have a better way of uncovering diamonds in the rough, just that it's a much harder problem than it used to be.

[android-developers] Re: Questions on Tab (TabWidget) Width
Mark, thanks for the idea. I also implemented a similar stuff like your ViewFlipper for other OS. A list view can be as simple as one column list but can be as complicate as a spreadsheet. I think a good widget should be easily extensible/expansible. For example, the options menu is well thought. You can limit the menu to six items. But when one needs more, it automatically gives you an expanded menu. This is a little bit off my original topic.

Use other activities to avoid the need for so many tabs. Or, as the previous poster suggested, roll your own tab-like system, perhaps using a ViewFlipper. Another issue is the ListView widget. It's not a list view at all. And your definition of list view is...what, exactly? It sure seems to fit the definition of a list view from every GUI toolkit I've ever used, and that stems back an awfully long time. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, $35/Year --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Questions on Tab (TabWidget) Width
Chris, thanks for the reply and idea. My tight schedule won't allow me to create a custom widget. I'll just use what are available in the SDK. It seems to me that the current implemetaion of TabWidget is only good for four tabs, which is too few for any complicated applications. Maybe the widget designer should take a look how WCE solves the problem. Another issue is the ListView widget. It's not a list view at all. Maybe it should be called as rail road widget.

[android-developers] Re: X and y coordinates for clicks and long clicks
This is how i found x and y coords of a click:
create an ontouchlistener, override 'onTouch' and use getRawX() to get
an x coord.
final OnTouchListener myListener = new OnTouchListener()
{
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
{
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
{
xInit = event.getRawX();
yInit= event.getRawY();
}
}
return false;
}
Hope this helps
Lewis

When you receive clicks and long clicks, how do you get the x and y
