[android-developers] Re: LetterRecognizer API in the Gesture class
Hi Andy, It seems like the LetterRecognizer was never released. But in our app we've added gesture search that works similar and learns the user's handwriting so it gets better in time (it can also be taught new languages). It's not perfect, but you can check it out in Contacts+http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android from the market (you'll need to enable gesture search from settings). We haven't worked on this feature for a while, so I'm sure there's more stuff to improve on it. Mor.

How can I use the LetterRecognizer? There's no API for that in the docs, I've also searched android's code itself, and besides the same comment above in the code there's nothing. I've implemented a letter recognizer manually by drawing the ABC letters to a gesture raw file and using the regular mLibrary.recognize(gesture) API, but the success rate is not very high, not even close to Google's gesture search app. Does Google's gesture search uses LetterRecognizer?

But now, I am getting reports of another error. The error is: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment MyFragment is not currently in the FragmentManager. I did some searching on the Internet, but nothing solid came up. The problem seems to be happening when the activity is trying to pause and the onSaveInstanceState method is called.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to set theme using resources from another application?
Ok, if I forget about using different drawables, and keep my external theme to modifying current's theme existing attributes only, will that be possible? I've seen the method Resources.Theme.setTo(other) which has the following desc.: Set this theme to hold the same contents as the theme other. If both of these themes are from the same Resources object, they will be identical after this function returns. If they are from different Resources, only the resources they have in common will be set in this theme. So this method isn't very useful if the themes are from the same resource, so it's used when the themes are from different resources like I'm having, but it doesn't seem to do the trick and change a single color value (textColorPrimary) I'm setting in the external theme, and after calling the setTo method, i'm getting resourceId as 0. Any pointers on how to properly use Theme.setTo? Sorry for being annoying... :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: How to set theme using resources from another application?
Hi Richard, thanks for the reply. I have an app with light and dark themes defined in themes.xml. I have a setting to allow the user the select light/dark theme in the app. This works great. Now the themes are pretty heavy in graphics, since they define not only styling but different drawables as well, so I want to offer more themes like blue, green, red, etc. as external apks in Google play, like I've seen many other apps have done, so a user could install a MyApp blue theme apk, and then he'll be able to choose this theme from the main app settings. I've tried using: Resources res = pm.getResourcesForApplication(appInfo); Which gets the resources object of the external apk, but I can't seem to get and apply the theme from it using activity.setTheme(externalTheme). I've tried using: Context themedContext = activity.getApplicationContext().createPackageContext(com.myapp.blue, Context.CONTEXT_IGNORE_SECURITY); Which gets a themed context, but again, couldn't set this theme to my running activity. I've read a lot about this, but couldn't find any complete solution. Thanks, Mor.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to set theme using resources from another application?
Hi Dianne, thanks for the info. I've seen methods like Resources.Theme.applyStyle which capable of overriding existing attributes with a supplied style resource-id, which would have been useful if I could tell it from what resource to get the resource-id from. Isn't there a similar method that I can use to only override certain attributes in my existing applied theme? If not, could you maybe suggest a different way to approach this problem? There are lots of themed apps on Android, so I'm sure there's a way to do this. Thanks again, Mor.

[android-developers] times_contacted not being updated on some devices
Hi, I've noticed some strange behavior when using the times_contacted field in ContactsContract.Contacts (and also the last_time_contacted field). In some Samsung devices this counter counts emails only, in some HTC devices this is always zero, and in other HTC devices this counter is incremented for the wrong contacts (there's a confusion between RawContact ids and Contact ids). Has anyone else came across this issue? Does anyone have a suggested solution to overcome this? I've managed to create a BroadcastReceiver that updates times_contacted for incoming/outgoing calls, but this doesn't solve the wrong contacts issues, and isn't as complete as the counting in Nexus for example (on Nexus it counts calls,emails,smss), also, I don't want to count these calls twice on devices where this counter already works.

[android-developers] Multi stroke gestures not recognized when last stroke is vertical
Hi, I have a gesture overlay on top of a list, when I do a vertical stroke, onGesturePerformed isn't being called because android assumes this was a scrolling stroke, this is ok. However, when I do a multi stroke gesture, where prev. strokes already recognized as gestures (change color), and the last stroke is vertical, the whole gesture is cancelled and onGesturePerformed is not called. This event should be handled properly by looking at GestureOverlayView's code: final boolean cancelDispatch = (mIsGesturing || (mCurrentGesture != null mCurrentGesture.getStrokesCount() 0 mPreviousWasGesturing)) mInterceptEvents; ( http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uX1GffpyOZk/core/java/android/gesture/GestureOverlayView.javaq=android%20GestureOverlayView%20dispatchTouchEventsa=Ncd=1ct=rcl=493 ) but it is definitely not working for me. Also, mLib.setSequenceType(GestureStore.SEQUENCE_INVARIANT), is not working for me, stops recognizing gestures, like in: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/de26b59b55407ed3 Any help would be appreciated.
