[android-developers] Re: == How to Toast or Notify in response to ACTION_VIEW without showing my app ==

One idea:
Try using an intermediary Activity that is lightweight  completely
transparent, it handles the decision as to whether to show the Toast
message or instead of starting your App (seems your App is already
started, though, since you've created a QSB...).

On Mar 15, 11:32 am, ClarkBattle clarkbat...@gmail.com wrote:

 If I simply show a toast from my QuickSearchActivity.onCreate(), then
 finish() it shows the toast over my app.  I want it to show the toast
 over the QSB.  Even if I put the finish() in the onResume() or put it
 in a postDelayed() it still shows the app.  Strange.  If it is
 possible to show a toast over the QSB in response to an item being
 clicked then how do you do it?

 If you cant show a toast over the QSB then a notification is
 acceptable.  However, I still need to NOT show my app (and not change
 its activity stack if it is running in the background).

 Basically I need my Activity to just notify the user through a toast
 or notification and stay in the background, never showing itself.
 How?

When this problem manifests, are you able to turn Airplane mode on

I've often encountered a similar problem with 2.1 emulator, found that
by turning on Airplane mode and quickly closing emulator, sometimes
upon re-opening emulator it has not got Airplane mode selected (though
it should since I'd set it on), while other times it will be on...when
its on, I can then turn it off et voila GSM connectivity gets
established.

Interested to know if this dodgy workaround works in your cases!

For functional testing you can also use HP QTP (QuickTest

real mobile hardware*, such as M-eux. There's also integrations
between Device Anywhere and HP QTP as well as IBM Rational Quality

For application security testing, if you have the source code (or

[android-developers] Custom View question

2011-02-14 Thread Mikey

Here's my problem. I finally figured out how to get my custom view
working, but discovered that canvas.drawCircle(..) draws based on
the screens dimensions and not the underlying bitmap (I may be
misusing some terms/concepts here, still a little iffy on the whole
custom view).

Basically, I have a bitmap of a map image, and I want to be able to
draw based on the bitmap's pixel dimensions, and to the bitmap if
possible, so that when it's panned/zoomed, it stays in its respective
place. Here is the code for my custom view. I x'd out my latitude and

2011-02-14 Thread Mikey

I mean the bitmap that I'm drawing into the canvas I suppose. In the
code I get the bitmap from a decodeResource(..) call, and then in the
onDraw I draw that bitmap into the canvas with the current matrix
(which is manipulated when the screen is touched). Are you only able
to draw to the campus? I need the dot to stay where it should be on
the bitmap. i.e. if your current location translates to pixel
coordinates(220, 660), I need it to draw the dot on the bitmap's
coordinate (220, 660), not the phone's screen coordinate (my phone has
resolution 480 x 854). So if I'm able to draw that dot onto the
bitmap, then I can just draw it onto the canvas without worrying about
the scale or if the dot is off screen etc.

You'll get that Error Layout (the one that says 'Problem Loading
Widget') if there's a problem loading a layout for your AppWidget.

There's various ways for this to manifest. It may be that the
requested Layout simply does not exist, or that the AppWidget is no
longer installed but the Launcher still holds RemoteViews for it (i.e.
they are now orphaned RemoteViews), or some other reasons.

Look more carefully at LogCat, there should be an indication as to why
the Error Layout is being displayed.

My 2.1 emulator never starts up with 3g connectivity working. To get

Recently, though, while running soak tests (running an App in emulator
overnight or even for several days) I now see the emulator for 2.1 and
2.2 will lose connectivity after say 8-12hours. Only way to
reestablish connectivity is to kill the emulator and go through above
process again. Obviously that doesn't help with soak testing!

Can you connect to the emulator console with telnet localhost 5554 or even
adb shell when this happens?

Which exact platform are your running the emulator on?

Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Re: Android shopping cart API/SDKs out there?

2011-01-17 Thread metal mikey

According to Google China's reps that featured at Google Australia's
Android Developer Lab a few months ago:

It is a breach of the Android Market's terms  conditions to procure
revenue outside of the Android Market.

I pointed out to them that people are already doing this, and so
saying its not to be done at the same time as doing nothing about it
puts obedient developers at a disadvantage.

I have a funny feeling that they may not be 100% correct, however,
since they also stated that (at the time) Australian developers could
now earn money via Android Market (however, at the time, a bug
remained whereby Google got the money but Australian developers could
not enter Australian bank account details into Marchant Checkout and
thus could not receive pay-outs...I also had to prove it to them for
them to believe)...so, would be great if someone from Google that is
more in-touch with what is really going on could verify the situation
regarding in-App payments!!!

2011-01-12 Thread metal mikey

@TreKing: I feel your paaain! As an early adopter/enthusiat residing
in Australia, I get the added pain of having had my NexusOne
personalised (so a replacement is not an option), HTC support based in
USA, taking calls only around USA business hours, and issuing FedEx
mailing instructions that are only valid for 7 days (hence I saw fit
to not even try to send it over before Christmas). Fun times :/

As for turning it on, there is the trick you can employ whereby you
hook USB power to your NexusOne and then trash the battery in and
out until the phone gets duped into powering on. Make sure to quickly
change your settings so the display doesn't sleep, because that power
button is also the only way to wake it up.

Given that the power button is a major failing point of the NexusOne,
I think it would be very, very nice of Google to provide an official
update for the NexusOne that allows an alternate means of waking the
phone up (i.e. via the trackball button), as then my phone could be
safely taken off life support (i.e. the usb power connection).

My solution was to take away the problem. Reworked things so I could

If you are getting these reports in Android Feedback, you will find the

It will only be killed if it has crashed (either in Java, where you will

has
extremely used a lot of memory to the point where nothing else can run,
or
has had an ANR.

If this is happening, you should be able to see it in LogCat, and you
might
try moving your code into a background thread, as with an AsyncTask.

I guess Zehon is failing for one of those reasons now under
Gingerbread. I still can't be 100% sure whether my AppWidget was
failing to download anything on GalaxyS for the same reason without
debugging on an actual device (consistent killing of the Service at
the point I see it killed in Gingerbread seems to be the best reason
for GalaxyS users seeing data being used but never getting the full
data update).
Unfortunately LogCat only says something along the lines of:

Stuff happening as expected.
More stuff happening as expected.
com.me.project.allmyhardwork has died.
Scheduling restart of service com.me.project.allmyhardwork in
5000ms.
Restarted AppWidget as expected, lalala.
More stuff happening as expected.

I.e. there is no ANR stacktrace nor any other stacktrace, the service
just dies (gets killed). That probably corroborates the idea of Zehon
failing silently and causing my Service to get killed too...

I'm now using URLConnection (which utilises FtpURLConnection) to pull
via FTP instead of Zehon for Java. Massive speed improvement, but
while Zehon was able to establish FTP connection and pull data under
emulator and most devices (at least the ones I can test on),
FtpURLConnection always fails to establish a connection under
emulator :( I guess that's to do with the proxy that emulator is setup
to use...?

So the new way using FtpURLConnection is working on real devices (the
ones I can test on at least), now ANRs have reared their ugly heads
and seem to be my next big problem. The data pull process is handled
within an AsyncTask spawned by the Service, when it finishes, though,
it quite often (especially on my NexusOne(2.2.1/FRG83D)) yeilds an
ANR...that has me scratching my head because I don't broadcast to the
Service at that stage, rather I have an Alarm that broadcasts to the
service every 2 minutes to either Churn the display or Update the data
(if update period has expired). Could it be that broadcasts to Churn
during the Update process are getting queued (they shouldn't, they
usually yield a Toast message indicating an update is underway) and
the ANR is only able to make itself known once the Update AsyncTask
has completed?

2010-12-16 Thread metal mikey

You shouldn't manually call getChildView method. The
ExpandableListView will do that when it needs to. You should focus on
ensuring that your implementation of getChildView makes sense,
currently it calls itself ad-infinitum (which doesn't make sense).
Then you're just left to manipulate the view as you need before
returning it from getChildView. Just take care not to spend/waste too
much time within getChildView method as Android won't be happy (ANR
thrown, if I recall correctly).

[android-developers] Re: AppWidget's service killed under Gingerbread GalaxyS(2.1) but not killed under other phones/versions

2010-12-11 Thread metal mikey

 Also to the original poster -- Service.setForeground() will basically
 guarantee that your process doesn't get killed for normal memory management.
  It will only be killed if it has crashed (either in Java, where you will
 see the crash in the log, or in native code, which is harder to debug), has
 extremely used a lot of memory to the point where nothing else can run, or
 has had an ANR.

  If this is happening, you should be able to see it in LogCat, and you might
  try moving your code into a background thread, as with an AsyncTask.

I guess Zehon is failing for one of those reasons now under
Gingerbread. I still can't be 100% sure whether my AppWidget was
failing to download anything on GalaxyS for the same reason without
debugging on an actual device (consistent killing of the Service at
the point I see it killed in Gingerbread seems to be the best reason
for GalaxyS users seeing data being used but never getting the full
data update).
Unfortunately LogCat only says something along the lines of:

Stuff happening as expected.
More stuff happening as expected.
com.me.project.allmyhardwork has died.
Scheduling restart of service com.me.project.allmyhardwork in
5000ms.
Restarted AppWidget as expected, lalala.
More stuff happening as expected.

I.e. there is no ANR stacktrace nor any other stacktrace, the service
just dies (gets killed). That probably corroborates the idea of Zehon
failing silently and causing my Service to get killed too...

I'm now using URLConnection (which utilises FtpURLConnection) to pull
via FTP instead of Zehon for Java. Massive speed improvement, but
while Zehon was able to establish FTP connection and pull data under
emulator and most devices (at least the ones I can test on),
FtpURLConnection always fails to establish a connection under
emulator :( I guess that's to do with the proxy that emulator is setup
to use...?

So the new way using FtpURLConnection is working on real devices (the
ones I can test on at least), now ANRs have reared their ugly heads
and seem to be my next big problem. The data pull process is handled
within an AsyncTask spawned by the Service, when it finishes, though,
it quite often (especially on my NexusOne(2.2.1/FRG83D)) yeilds an
ANR...that has me scratching my head because I don't broadcast to the
Service at that stage, rather I have an Alarm that broadcasts to the
service every 2 minutes to either Churn the display or Update the data
(if update period has expired). Could it be that broadcasts to Churn
during the Update process are getting queued (they shouldn't, they
usually yield a Toast message indicating an update is underway) and
the ANR is only able to make itself known once the Update AsyncTask
has completed?

2010-12-10 Thread metal mikey

Yeah, I used Service.startForeground() just in case the service was
being killed because it was in the background (and since this is an
AppWidget I guess my App isn't in the foreground, rather the
Launcher's App is in the foreground).

Am trying out ditching Zehon FTP for Java and using the native
URLConnection. unfortunately Android's implementation of
FtpURLConnection is hard-coded to guessContentTypeFromName(url) so it
doesn't want to download a text file that has an extension of,
say, .wtf...one of the reasons I wasn't using native URLConnection in
the first place.

I'm still interested to know/solve why my service gets killed when
using Zehon FTP for Java, but in the interest of meeting overall goals
of the AppWidget I'm now rejigging regexes to handle the FTP download
of an html file.

[android-developers] Re: Custom Navigator app questions

2010-11-18 Thread Mikey

Sorry, I didn't mean to seem pushy or anything, I'm just under a lot
of pressure from my director to be making steady progress. I will look
into overlaying the google maps this weekend. Is this part of the
MapView structure?

As for the touch events on buildings, the whole point of this app is
that incoming students don't know where the buildings are. Schedules
are given that show the name and room number of the building. Thus, I
had created a ListView with all the names of all the buildings, and
was planning to have it route you to whatever building you chose. My
idea for routing was to create a location node for each building, each
crosswalk, everywhere the sidewalk splits or turns, etc. Then, when
you hit navigate, it would center you to your nearest node, and it
would know your goal node, and then it would be a find the shortest
path between nodes. The reason I was going to do it this way was so
that it would follow campus's sidewalks and walkways, which (correct
me if I'm wrong) Google Navigator doesn't see. Doesn't the walking
navigator only walk you along street sides?

I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks for the ideas, I'll certainly
mull them over when I hunker down with my laptop and droid this
weekend.

[android-developers] Custom Navigator app questions

2010-11-17 Thread Mikey

Here's a quick background on my situation. I'm a college student and
for my thesis project I've decided to develop a campus navigator app
to assist incoming students in getting acquainted with the campus.
This is a year long project so at this point I'm partially
troubleshooting and partially trying to find out if my ideas are going
to run me into walls later down the road.

So as not to have an overwhelmingly long post, I'll just ask about my
current issues for now. The app opens up and allows the user to select
Map or Navigate. I started working with map first because it
should be significantly simpler.

Current State:
The following currently works: hitting the map button displays a .png
of my campus's map (located at http://www.brockport.edu/about/maps/suny.html).
I've cropped the picture to only show the numbered buildings (i.e. the
oval track at the bottom, erie canal along the top, and blank spaces
on left/right near streets are all removed). The resulting image is
923x630.

Using the multi-touch pan/zoom code from Hello, Android! (3rd Edition)
(source code folder Touchv2 available at book's website), the map
display page allows the user to pinch zoom and pan the image. Here's
my first issue. With this implementation, the user is able to pan the
picture out of the screen or zoom out until it only takes up a pixel
or two. Is there any better implementation that will not allow the
user to pan beyond the borders of the image or zoom out past the image
size?

This feeds into my next issue, the Where I want to be part. Ideally,
I'd like the map display to use a location manager, and upon location
change, draw a circle where the user is standing. As far as projecting
latitude/longitude to pixel coordinates on the campus.png, that's just
math and I can figure that part out. My question is, since I'm using
an ImageView to put the png in, how can I draw on this? I've been
searching around all day and it appears that Canvas would be the ideal
way, since you can call drawCircle(x, y, radius, paint). However, I
was unable to find a way to correlate an ImageView to a Canvas and
back. On top of this, I need it to base these draws solely on
the .png's pixel coordinates, not the current display (since the image
may be panned or zoomed somewhere that would affect this).

I know it would be simple to just use Google Maps to implement this,
but if possible I'd strongly prefer to use the campus map, as it
clearly depicts all the walkways and buildings on the campus.

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. I just wanted to
ask early on so I don't make a fatal mistake and have to redesign it a
month before it's due. If you want to see any of my code, just let me
know.

-Mikey

[android-developers] Re: Run instructions at the end of six animations played together

2010-11-14 Thread metal mikey

Nothing much is impossible.

You seem to be overcomplicating your problems:

Problem 1: Calculating the result at the right time.
Solution 1: Define the random numbers for each state of each TextView
BEFORE you even start animating...benefit of that is you can calculate
the result BEFORE you even start animating. In doing so you have
affectively put Problem 1 out of existence. This is what Mark
suggested.

Problem 2: Knowing when the dies have finished animating.
Solution 2: If you're having trouble using an AnimationListener, why
not try a simpler approach whereby you use a state pattern for each
die and manually control the visual state of each die? Then you not
only know when the animation has finished, you also know when the
animation is at step 1, step 2, step 3, etc.

On Nov 15, 4:00 am, gontran geoffroydecorb...@gmail.com wrote:
Ok, I get your point, but my problem is both displaying and
calculating the result at the right time because in my game, you roll
dices to get an asset of points, to attack another player... So
depending on the state of the game, the instructions run after each
rolls are not always the same. so after each roll, I have to display
the sum and other informations depending on the state of the game and
maybe changing the state (I use the state design pattern).

For me, the best solution would be to make a single animation to
animate the six dices, but correct me if I'm wrong, it's impossible to
make each dice rotate on itself with a single animation.

Anyway, thank you for your time.

What do you mean by pre-compute?

Pre-compute = compute in advance.

If I understand correctly, you have 30 random numbers (six dice, five
state changes). You want the sum of the last six random numbers.

Right now, you appear to be generating those random numbers on the
fly. Rather than do that, compute them in advance. Then, you do not
have to worry about wait that each animation has ended to calculate
the sum of each roll, because you already know the values.

Or, just pre-compute the last six random numbers (the ones you need to
sum), so on your last state change, you go to the pre-computed value
rather than generating another random number on the fly.

If your problem is more about displaying the sum at the right time,
more so than calculating it, just use a single AnimationListener on
one of your dice. If they are all animating simultaneously, they will
all end simultaneously, so just pick one and use that to time the
display of your sum.

[android-developers] Re: Saving Simplistic Android Widget Across Restarts

2010-10-28 Thread metal mikey

Yes we can see your thread!

FYI: when discussing AppWidgets, better to refer to them as AppWidgets
rather than widgets to avoid confusion ;) A widget is any UI element,
whether it is in an AppWidget or an App.

Concerning your problem: can you not simply apply the User-defined
background image ID to all instances of your AppWidget? If not, then
you need to put in place some means to link an AppWidget instance
(i.e. its ID) to its corresponding User-defined background. E.g. you
could also store the AppWidget ID in SharedPreferences. Also, from
what I've seen when you add a new AppWidget, its ID is the last one in
the array of AppWidget IDs - so you could get away with just applying
the User-defined background to the last AppWidget ID from the array.

If you need to catch the ACTION_UP event, using a Button view is not
the best approach. Use an ImageView with a state-based drawable as the

 Is there a better choice for creating a button that controls the full

 My application expects a screen touch on the button and not a

[android-developers] Re: Setting Widget Icon Image on Widget Load

A Button is not an ImageView.

Try using an ImageView instead of a Button.

 I'm not sure what's wrong with your code and I'm kind of guessing
 here...but:

 - onEnabled() is only called when the FIRST widget is created. So, if you
 try to add a second widget to the homescreen this method will not be called.
 Also, maybe, when onEnabled() is called the widget actually does not exist
 yet? So your updateAppWidget() is probably doing nothing.

 - try moving this piece of code to the onUpdate() method of your widget
 provider (which is called whenever the widget requires an update).

 - are you setting other RemoteViews objects in your onReceive() method?

[android-developers] Re: Listview not supporting if list extends screen size

So read the ADB logs and work out why its crashing...post that
information here if its not entirely obvious why your App is crashing.

 Hi,
 I created a list view in an activity and the list shows some fields.
 When we click a list item a custom dialog should pop up and the user can
 enter some new value to this field.
 The custom dialog contains one edit text and two buttons ok and cancel.
 It is working fine. But when my list is more that means if it exceeds screen
 size it is showing scroll.
 But when we select bottom items which we can select using scroll the dialog
 is appearing in normal fashion. But after entering new value if i am trying
 to save the application is getting crashed.

 Thanks,
 saikiran

[android-developers] Re: performance woes

Guys, I think this is simply a symptom of Samsung's total stuff-up of
the Galaxy S...haven't you heard about and used at least one of the
many fixes for the stalling/lagging issue???
http://techie-buzz.com/featured/fix-samsung-galaxy-s-stalling-issue.html

A terribly big, bad, and dark storm cloud of shame hangs over Samsung
for that issue + the GPS issue. They've left fixing the stalling/
lagging issue to (what one can only assume to be more capable)
developers in the community rather than addressing it themselves golf
claps

While for the GPS issue, it looks like they're addressing it
themselves (fix your own mistakes FTW!):
http://ausdroid.net/2010/08/14/samsung-preparing-a-gps-fix-for-galaxy-s/
Mind you, I don't think the GPS fix has been released, lol.

So, lessons here are: don't confuse a manufacturer's stuff-up for a
problem with Android itself ;) In fact, don't make conclusions about
Android based on a single phone from a single manufacturer! And don't
buy Samsung products in future until its well and truely proven that
they didn't stuff-up the software royally.

It's theoretically possible that the phone is using your CPU to

signal gets weaker and weaker this would increase the load on the CPU,
and the phone is obviously going to give priority to signal processing
over UI stuff.

I don't know how modern phones are partitioned -- I assume that most
of the radio work is handed over to a dedicated signal processor, but
I can see that, to cost reduce the unit and cut it's size/weight/
power, mfgrs would tend to use the UI CPU for some signal processor
management functions.

My Samsung Galaxy S also exhibits stuttering issues, launching applications
often takes a few seconds. This happens with core phone apps, too, so
reading an sms or making a phone call can sometimes be quite painful.

On the other hand, my Motorola Milestone is always really snappy and is a
joy to use.

I think the difference has to do with Samsung's UI customizations, like the
pageable application list, etc.

The Milestone doesn't have those, running Android without enhancements of
this kind.

So my conclusion is - Android is pretty good, but phone makers can, and
sometimes do, make it worse (or better, if you look at HTC, although not
everyone likes their custom Sense UI either).

Samsung is about to release an update to 2.2 for the Galaxy S, perhaps this
will fix the stuttering issue. I'd advise you to wait for this update before
making a final decision, and keep in mind that Android is not equally good
(or bad) on every phone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S. I'm a happy android developer, with a few
marketplace apps. Hence, my frustration that overall, my experience
with Getting the Galaxy S (after my G1) has been pretty fraught with
performance sluggishness of the phone/overall OS.

I find when the cel phone signal strength is anything less than 3
bars, the phone is basically unusable. Want to look up a contact,
press, and wait 10 seconds for anything. Open and App? Go grab a
coffee.

I thought it was something that would get better, but it has gotten
worse.

Overall, are people generally impressed with Android performance?
After a year as an Android user, I'm thinknig of going back to the
iPhone world. I never waited as long for apps to start/respond as I am
now and wonder, if this something Froyo would fix?

Are there settings to help?

[android-developers] Re: Interface Design Question

Your interface requirements are quite specific, and thus likely to be
unique, so expecting people to have already implemented the interface
and simply pass you their solution is probably expecting too much.

For lack of being told exactly what to do...If you have ideas, try
them! Whether they work or fail, you'll learn something...

To help you along, though, I suggest a solution involving layout
animation on ImageViews...layout animations that get triggered by
interaction with a single ScrollView.

 Give me your suggestion  based on your experience to design this type of
 interface.

 Looking forward for your suggestion,

  Hello,

  I'd like to get your suggestion for best option to implement the following
  interface on android 2.2.

  1. Folders (or folder windows displayed as pictures) are assembled or
  places as a deck of cards on screen.
  2. when using a touch (scroll up motion) each folder windows move up
  (scroll up) at a tilted angle and gradually it gets straighten in vertical
  direction when reaches at the center . The other folder windows are linked
  as a chain so if you scroll up again the next folder window will take the
  center position and so on until the last one. This can be scroll up or 
  down.

  Apparently, it seem it can be done with GridView or Gallery Widget to
  start  instead working for new widget. if you have experience doing such
  interface , suggest me for better option?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions
