Re: [android-developers] Re: Shape having two sided border
I'm not sure there is any XML way of doing this. You can extend TextView (or whatever is the view that you are looking to have this border on) and implement this in the onDraw. There should also be a way to write a Drawable and do this which can then be extended to any View but I don't know enough to suggest.

Re: [android-developers] Re: When will android automatically launch a process when force closed?
Is this a Service as opposed to an activity? Or is there a BroadcastReceiver?

Re: [android-developers] How to get internal storage path for music
There are some phones, eg the first HTC phone at VZW, which have 3 mount points for music. Basically the internal memory is partitioned into the internal filesystem a modifiable partition that can be mounted as a USB drive. Users can move music there this is scanned by the media player but is not the external filesystem. So there is no Environment API to get to this path...

Re: [android-developers] Re: app causes reboot on DroidX after activity gets destroyed - anybody having similar issues?
Wow! I don't know if the following is helpful at all. I've seen my DroidX
reboot a bunch of times and in almost all cases the offending app is
probably Google Maps. I say probably because that's the forefront app.
Usually the whole screen freezes - nothing has an impact and then I see that
red circular image!! I wonder if there is a way to pin this down for that
app as well which might then make it a bigger priority for Moto to fix??

Possibly found the culprit. In several activities, I call this:

Settings.System.ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION)))

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
break;
case 2:
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

Basically this fixes the screen orientation to portrait or landscape,
or tells Android to use the rotation sensor again to determine the
screen orientation. This code works fine except on the DroidX. Even on
the DroidX fixed orientation works fine (protrait only, landscape
only) but if I set the orientation to be tied to the sensor, resuming
such an activity and then changing the sensor orientation causes the
reboot. My app works fine if I take this single line of code out.
Of course, this is completely unsatisfying. The line itself doesn't
cause an immediate blowup but it seems to be the cause for blowups
later. Maybe this is a firmware bug. Maybe it is something entirely
different and all this is just circumstantial. I don't have the
resources to spend more time on this issue now but if anybody has an
idea on how to make sense of this, I would love to learn.

That seems worthwhile even though my poor test user has already downloaded and run more than 20 versions in helping me isolating offending code. I hope one additional barebones test won't push him over the edge. Who knows when I need him again. @Prakash I spent some time on the DroidX forums and at there are many posts about random reboots even with the stock firmware. Small developers can't continue chasing issues that may come down to faulty firmware. My time is better spent getting ready for Android 3.0. But the Moto guys could do the same thing I did since it is all open source (google maps may not be open source, I forgot). But this debugging is a pain. Take 30,000 lines of code (in my case), make an educated guess as to which parts may be responsible, and strip them out (leaving 22,000 in my case). Then the app worked. Then I built 5 test versions, each of them putting an additional 2000 lines of code back in. My user reported at which point it crashed and the I built 5 new versions between the last non-crashing and the crashing version. However, we were fairly lucky in that it all seemed to work. Stuff like this rarely comes down to a null-pointer or something similar but are often due to some side-effects that only occur in certain conditions like low memory. So this type of debugging I just outlined is not necessarily consistent and the results may even be misleading. We got lucky. Of course, Moto has access to parts of the device I don't and I am sure they can make the device log survive the reboot, something that would have saved me a lot of time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Pop up Dialog Not Displaying
Look at the doc for Handler Looper. That's where you will handle the
message. Pass that instance to the place where you read the socket message
and use it to post. As you learn more you will want to take care of config
changes, not updating the ui when it isn't visible etc.

Re: [android-developers] Concern on AsyncTask in an Activity
All what Mark said + be very careful on how the UI gets updated. If you, like most others, are using an inner class for AsyncTask then the outer instance is no longer the visible instance when your app goes away or even an orientation changes. My 2c., AsyncTask has a noble intention but a very unforgiving implementation given the app lifecycle. The easiest place to use an AsyncTask is where you want something computed as long as the app is visible, i.e. you start it off in onResume and cancel it in onPause. Any thing else and you will be doing a lot of gymnastics and should be really looking at alternatives.

Re: [android-developers] Re: onItemClick(AdapterView? parent, View view,

[android-developers] Receiving ACTION_MEDIA_* broadcast events
Hello, Wrote a simple activity that uses registerReceiver to register an internal subclass of BroadcastReceiver with an IntentFilter than has ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT as it's action. I have not set any thing else (data/category) or requested permissions in my manifest. I used the APIDemos from the sample code (External Storage) as my guide along with the documentation. Now when I install this app on a Droid or DroidX I do not get that event even though I can see other receivers, e.g. something called Vold on Droid or PhotoWidget on Droid X get those events. As a consolation, even the APIDemos when installed on the phone doesn't get those events:) What am I doing wrong?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Array Adapter
what do you mean by default view? that method is supposed to return a View which is used to render the list item. the default implementation, whose source i recommend you read, returns back a TextView the id (you can pass a more complex view which has a TextView element etc. all of which is documented) to which you pass in the constructor. the convertView is a recycled view which can be used if it meets all the requirements. you should override this method, as suggested by treking if you want to do anything more than what is done by default.

[android-developers] Question on Shelves example
The reference article on Painless Threading pointed me to the Shelves
example as a place to understand AsyncTask. So I was reading that example.
One question popped into my head while I was going thru ShelvesActivity. The
onPause code calls stopBooksUpdater. That code snippet is as follows,
private void stopBooksUpdater() {
final BooksUpdater booksUpdater = mBooksUpdater;
booksUpdater.clear();
booksUpdater.stop();
}
What's the reason for a local final variable which is manipulated as opposed
to the member variable? This happens in one more place but in others the
member variable is directly accessed, e.g. in onResume.
Thanks!

Re: [android-developers] Why am I getting NullPointerException although I catch it?
Your catching a NullPointerException in your
inputConnection.getTextBeforeCursor call is unnecessary. You are already
checking to see if inputConnection is null. It From the documentation of
InputConnection, and I quote
This method may fail either if the input connection has become invalid (such
as its process crashing) or the client is taking too long to respond with
the text (it is given a couple seconds to return). In either case, a null is
returned.
end quote. So I would guess your NullPointerException is possibly in the
fact that the cSeq is null and you are calling the method length() on a
possibly null object.
In the future you will be better off reading and sending logcat output which
would probably have told you the line no where the Exception was thrown and
hence made it simpler...

Re: [android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError
I don't think you need to recycle the image in onPause. May be in onStop? If
you want to do it onPause, then you might want to let the Canvas know that
it's underlying image is no longer available in some fashion.
You should call super.X() when you override X as a general rule, so I think
DanH is referring to what looks like you are calling super.onPause in your
override of onDestroy. So you should be calling super.onDestroy...

Re: [android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError
When are you calling the code to recycle? If I had to guess it looks like
you are doing it before the image is used by the canvas.
The onDestroy is called when the app is cleaned up, so that isn't very
useful in this case. From the snippet you have provided it isn't very
obvious why you would run into a problem. Are you during references to the
bitmap?

Re: [android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError
Lisa, Below is a complete guess, so it's worth what you paid for it:) I suspect the Canvas is referencing the bitmap while trying to save state in onPause.

[android-developers] Question on using custom View for a ListAdapter...
Hello, I'd like to show my users a list of items and when any one is selected, sort of expand the view. Very similar to the the List example no 6 (List Adapter Collapsed) in the SDK where if you click on the person you see the speech. Now in my app, I allow only one expanded view, easy enough to do. Also, my elements are not static and for ease of use, I extend ArrayAdapter. My questions are as follows, 1. In the getView there is a convertView parameter. I didn't see much documentation around it but given it's name and the source, I assume this is where the View object gets reused. In other words, if I don't do a setText here if the incoming parameter is non-null, I should see names/labels (of list items) getting recycled? I assume the framework has atmost X views alive where X could be less than the total count of items and more than a screenful. Am I correct or reading too much into this? 2. Now, I have a TextView which I supply ArrayAdapter and then a TableLayout which is made visible on demand. The table can have upto N, say 50, rows. Each row has 2 columns, an immutable name column and then the variable value column. Not every item will have N rows, and which of the N rows are present will vary as well. So, is the most efficient means of doing this, 1. Have the view supplied to ArrayAdapter have the TableLayout with N rows, all with Visibility of Gone and then fill in the vaalues in getView and set Visibility appropriately 2. View given to ArrayAdapter has the TextView and nothing else. Create one TableLayout object, N TableRow objects. Add/remove TableRow objects to the TableLayout singleton and add/remove the TableLayout singleton from the appropriate View in getView 3. Something else altogether Thanks a ton! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] onPause not being followed by onStop and onDestroy...
It is not required that an onPause is always followed by onStop - in fact if you press the home key that's what I have seen as the default behavior. This way if the user goes back to your app, thru the home key press or from launchpad, the onResume will be called and it will all be much faster than doing an onCreate which would otherwise have been required.

Re: [android-developers] android design considerations: AsynchTask vs Service (IntentService?)
Dianne, With all due respect, HandlerThread or Thread do NOT convey the message that they can be used with the UI in the same way that an AsyncTask does. In fact even a small para saying something like AsyncTask runs as a separate thread and does interact with the Activity's lifecycle. It is associated with the instance that executed the AsyncTask, however the onProgress and onResult are called in the main UI thread that deals with the currently active instance which could be different than the one that executed the AsyncTask. Thus the developer must ensure that any reference to the Activity or UI components are not stale. would help, IMHO.

Can you make sure this works? Yes! Should this be documented? I would think it is absolutely essential. This has *nothing* to do with AsyncTask, this is all about the peculiarities of Activity. You will run into the same issue if you use HandlerThread, a raw Thread()... heck, you'd even have the issue if you didn't use another thread at all but just Handler.postDelayedMessage(). This behavior is documented in the material Activity; it doesn't make any sense to try to document this in every other generic facility for asynchronicity just because if you use that with an Activity you will need to understand how Activity instances can be fairly transient. And what you need to do with AsyncTask is *different* depending on where you are using it -- in an Activity, or a Service, or a View, or whatever.

Re: [android-developers] android design considerations: AsynchTask vs Service (IntentService?)
I'm not sure I agree with your comment that it is the wrong question. In fact your explanation of how a majority of the cases a Service runs in the same process is precisely why most people will consider these as alternatives. I was trying to point out to the OP that if the OP ever wanted to create something that lived independent of the UI and/or was planned to be used by more than one activity independently developed/distributed, a service would be a better choice... IMHO the AsyncTask is notoriously poorly documented. It has some really strange interactions with the Activity lifecycle... As some one pointed out the IntentService is probably a better choice in many cases. Which again brings to question the orthogonality of AsyncTask Service...

Problem is that for your Activity to display the results it must somehow interact with your service. Ideally you will want to spawn the service off in a separate process and use either Intents or AIDL to communicate back progress to the Activity. The vast majority of the time, there is no need to run the service in a separate process and thus deal with all of the additional complexity of AIDL and such. As another poster mentioned, IntentService is very useful. Also AsyncTask vs. Service is the wrong question. These are almost totally orthogonal to each other -- you very often may use an AsyncTask as part of implementing a service for example. And if your service is running in the same process as your activity, it is very easy to just bind to it from the activity, call on to it to get its current state, and supply a callback for when the state changes, just using normal Java coding. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

Re: [android-developers] OutOfMemory exception in OnCreate
On Sat, Oct 2, 2010 at 6:14 PM, Yahel kaye...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I'm having a hard time resolving a crash report. It's an OutOfMemory exception that occurs during the setContentView in the onCreate of my main activity. I just want to be sure I understood Android LifeCycle well : 1) The onCreate of my main activity is called once and only once during the life time of my application ? Is that correct ? If what you mean is the process, then your answer is a no. Assuming this is an Activity that can be launched from the launcher, i.e. no other Intent, a process will be spawned the first time the user decides to start your Activity. Then it goes through the lifecycle as described quite well in the Activity documentation. Thus it is quite likely that onCreate gets called multiple times, e.g. if you have not over-ridden the orientation change, it will get called whenever the phone moves from landscape to portrait or vice versa. You can test this out quite easily on the emulator. Thus, if you have static variables etc. they will live thru all of this. Your view will be cleaned up and redone in the onCreate. 2) Just like for the big bang, before the oncreate of my activity, nothing exists for that activity, so memory consumption is zero, no objects exists right ? Not correct. onCreate is called on an instance, so all the static variables and any thing else required by your instance, e.g. a String that you may have defined as a member variable etc is already loaded. Maybe you knew that and are asking something else?? So what can cause that sometimes, with random framework and devices, I get an OOM exception ? I mean if say my background image is causing this, it should blow up everytime, on every device, shouldn't it ? I mean the result should be reliable. The background image is a standard jpg : 360*480 weighing 37kb, nothing fancy really :s I think more detail here will help, Is this a bitmap loaded into a variable? If yes and you hold a reference to your Activity object elsewhere, you might leak for every orientation change. ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] android design considerations: AsynchTask vs Service (IntentService?)
Each his own. Try writing a AsyncTask that say lives for more than 10s and in the final result say updates a text field. Now before the AsyncTask completes, just change the orientation. I'd bet most developers would assume the text field will get updated. Most developers would be wrong as the AsyncTask's onResult will be calling the original object's (the one that did the execute) text field and not the one that is currently displayed. Can you make sure this works? Yes! Should this be documented? I would think it is absolutely essential.

It's for precisely this reason that AsyncTask and Service are mostly orthogonal: An AsyncTask is helpful way of delegating work onto a thread other than the main thread; a Service exposes a component lifecycle so that a UI-free operation can be managed by the system.

As another poster mentioned, IntentService is very useful. Also AsyncTask vs. Service is the wrong question. These are almost totally orthogonal to each other -- you very often may use an AsyncTask as part of implementing a service for example. And if your service is running in the same process as your activity, it is very easy to just bind to it from the activity, call on to it to get its current state, and supply a callback for when the state changes, just using normal Java coding. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

Re: [android-developers] android design considerations: AsynchTask vs Service (IntentService?)
Not sure I am experienced but I did use both AsncTask and Service, so here is my opinion. AyncTask works great - until the user does something to visually alter your app, e.g. changes orientation or goes to the home screen. Reason is that the AsyncTask will most likely be referring to UI elements in the original Activity instance and you will suddenly not see anything happening. Google on the forum and you will see a discussion on a persistent dialog that tells you the problem and one solution. Also, once the Activity is out of view, I am guessing the OS can destroy it and there isn't much control given to AsyncTask. Service, OTOH, is designed to work in the background without requiring user interaction. Problem is that for your Activity to display the results it must somehow interact with your service. Ideally you will want to spawn the service off in a separate process and use either Intents or AIDL to communicate back progress to the Activity. So, if your task can be paused and restarted along with the main Activity, AsyncTask might work quite well. If not, Service might be the way to go. You said the initial sync can take 15-20 min, so be sure you understand how an AsyncTask interacts with Activity if it moved away from the foreground coz' unless these are your real friends or you are showing something really compelling, people will move on...

Re: [android-developers] Marketplace updates - notified if apk not installed through marketplace?
I have definitely seen the first issue, at least on 2.1. Seems like the notification pops up only when I run the Market - don't have to check for anything but the very act of running the Market seems to trigger a check on the number of updates available. This seems to be the case on 2.2 as well at least the first time I am checking this - right now I had to go to Downloads within Market to see that there is an update though I must caveat this is for a component used by an app (EStrongs File Explorer's Task Manager) as opposed to an app itself.

So when A is installed the content provider is not. Of course the user can go and just install the content provider but that's no different than if the user deleted the file I guess.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How much money do you make?
Just my 2c - the freemium model when executed well could be one answer. Basically the free app version should do enough to not invite removal due to either not compelling or too irritating. But it should also entice enough so that the user just bites - again patience is key as not every one will bite the very first time. One app that does this well is Tapatalk (I am not associated with them in any way other than being a happy, paying consumer). Their free version allows me to read from forums, supply login, read private messages etc. but then if I want to post/reply/click thru to bigger images etc I must upgrade. They didn't keep telling me I was a cheapskate just when I tried a premium feature. Loved it enough to pay up. More than the platform it is the individual app I think. As an example, the free virus scan software that Google Pack installs on the desktop is irritating me to the point I am going to replace it - asks me to upgrade whenever it can as opposed to when it makes sense.

I've not installed many phone apps, but in terms of desktop apps I find that quality/fit is so variable that I'm reluctant to pay up front for an app (have only done it on a couple of occasions), and I would imagine the same is true for phone apps. I have on a handful of occasions (maybe 25% of those that give the option) upgraded a free desktop app to paid to gain more features (and a little bit out of guilt, I suppose). I don't ever recall upgrading a trial period app -- for some reason they never seem that valuable to me when the trial period expires. One problem that phone apps have, I suspect, is that it's difficult/ impossible (depending on the market) to directly provide interfaces to upgrade to a new version, whether free or paid, while desktop apps can do it seamlessly.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to rotate screen by program code but not accelerometer sensor?
Not sure what you want to do here. Without the accelerometer the system wouldn't recognize that the screen has rotated. You (the user) can disable orientation change in the settings but then no app would ever know the orientation has changed. Now, the app can trap the orientation change and decide to do nothing about, or set a timer and ignore successive notifications to overcome sensitivity etc. On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 8:17 PM, San Zhang dahua007...@gmail.com wrote: Hi every one, There are some shortcoming for system's rotate screen function: 1.

Re: [android-developers] Exception Logging
I have thought along similar lines. I think it should just be option a. Don't confuse the user with options. In fact don't even allow user to reply back directly. On Sep 18, 2010 1:19 PM, Brad Gies rbg...@gmail.com wrote: This is a bit long winded (sorry, but I need to explain what I'm doing before I can ask the question). Just wondering if I could get a few (hopefully few hundred) opinions on this : I developed an Exception Handler for my first Android app (released the first month the market opened), which logs all uncaught exceptions to my server, and since then I have gradually refined it and improved. I'm now using it in my 4th public Android app and a few private apps, and I find it extremely helpful to find bugs that don't happen to me when I'm testing. One thing I added that is proving to be extremely useful is an AlertDialog when the exception occurs asking the user if it is OK to contact him/her if I need more information to be able to fix the problem, and a box for them to enter their email address if they agree. I don't have good numbers for you on the acceptance rate because most of my public apps already have the users email address and for the private apps the company enforces their compliance (or supplies the emails for me to use). BUT... it looks like about 20% of users do enter their email address if asked, and that is more than enough to be very useful. I think I can increase the percentage of users that do supply their emails addresses, and that is what my question is about :). (I will ask it soon) First, It has occurred to me that my Exception Logger might be even more successful for me if other developers were also using it because users might have seen it before and trust it when they first see it in my apps. That obviously would only happen if quite a few developers were using it. Anyway... sorry it's already getting long, and I AM trying to keep it from becoming a book. I have repackaged my Exception Logger and will release it in the next couple of days for other developers to use (the price is the good one - FREE). I will host the thing on my server (FYI it's a Cloud based server so we can increase capacity if needed) and any developers using it will be able to log in and view the exceptions their app has generated, and sort by time/date, user, and other fields. NOW.. the question: I think the Exception Logger would be more successful getting the users to agree to be contacted IF their email addresses were kept confidential. Actually, I don't think there is much doubt that would be the case. BUT, there is a tradeoff. Obviously, most developers would prefer to see the email addresses so they can manage the contacts a bit more effectively without using my website to do it, BUT if the email addresses are not confidential, fewer users will give them. So here are what I think are the options: a)keep the email addresses confidential, but developers can send the user an email using my website, include both a reply address which goes to my website and then forwards the email to the developer, and also the developers email address so the user could respond directly to the developer if they choose. I'm sure this would have by far the highest success rate for getting contact info but means devs have to use my website to send the first email at least. b)give the user a choice of keeping the email address confidential or just giving it to the developer. This should also have a fairly high acceptance rate by the user, but complicates the process for them because they would actually have to read the instructions to figure out how it works, and quite possibly a few users would think they asked for their email addresses to be confidential, when they actually checked the other option, and would be upset if they found out later. It's also a bit more work for me, for maybe very little benefit. c)Don't bother keeping the email addresses confidential. All my own apps work this way, and it is useful, but I'm sure either of the other two options would have a better success rate of obtaining the email addresses, and therefore would be better for most devs to get information about problems in their apps. I don't try the a) or b) options for myself because obviously I could see the email addresses in my log files if I wanted to look, and it would be a little deceitful to tell the user their email would be confidential in that case, even if I did use them properly ... BUT, I can do that for other developers without stretching the truth at all, so I think it's worth the effort if other devs want to use it. So, please let me know what your opinions are. I'm also hoping to get some idea of how many developers might want to use this. I've already done almost all the work, so it will be released even if nobody wants to use it. It freaks me out a little to open up my server to an unknown amount of use, but I am well setup to increase server capacity quickly if needed, and I

Re: [android-developers] Re: Browser: Keyboard disappears.
Hmm, may be the OutOfResources exception has something to do with it? Just
sayin'...

Hi Androidians,
This is a magic happening with browser. When i touch the URL
field in the browser, a fake tittle bar comes up and it is a so
called search dialog, and start typing some letters fast, the keyboard
disappears. And the Log events* say the following. Once it is
happened, especially in land scape, the edit text field (Integrated
with keyboard itself), does not reflects the letters typed afterwards,
but gets reflected in the fake tittle bar behind it. I am not able
categorize where and how its happening. Could anybody help me.
Thank you,

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to reverse ListView scrolling behavior?
Hmm... if I have turned the phone upside down. Or maybe a language that goes from down to top;-) Seriously though I don't see what the high horses here are. People have pointed out, rather patiently, that the normal behavior is what is implemented. Anything that goes against that can still be done but with some work on part of the OP. One can argue forever on who defines normal of course...

Here is what I'm trying to test, and I like to actually test not just jump into a conclusion, ohh no this is not UI friendly... ;) *On a ListView usually more content is located below so you need to scroll down which means you must move your finger up. Making this motion of moving the finger up can be very difficult when you are extending your arm. Also, if the air is a bit humid. By inverting the list it might be better to scroll the content by moving your finger down than up! ***REMEMBER THIS IS A CASE STUDY*** @TreKing Thanks for at least hinting on a path.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Child activity lifetime in background
very good thought but isn't this why you should be saving your state and starting off as if you were resuming? from a user's perspective it is the right expectation and from the os perspective this is the right implementation.

Re: [android-developers] Re: GOOGLE, WHAT IS GOING ON with the Active Install %? Bug in install to SDCARD is my guess!
2.2 makes it easier to update all. otherwise if you have a lot of apps and many have regular updates, it is actually quite tedious. personally every update, pre 2.2. was a time for introspection. do i love/use this app enough to spend the minute or two it will take of my effort to click thru the update process. with, 2.2, at least for the apps that don't change their permissions, it is an easier decision.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Verizon Moto droid auto update to 2.2 yesterday
I have been with the Droid and Droid X on Verizon and never seen this behavior. They send you a notification that an upgrade is ready or if you are anxious (like me), you can go check for upgrades. Looks very unusual - I have seen them sneakily update BlackBerry so I suddenly have newer icons like VCast XYZ and such. But that's not an OS upgrade...

They did notify me after the fact. I am just wondering if this is common or unusual. (Maybe I am just too cautious because of my previous experiences. I would consider it quite a calamity if Microsoft updated my XP's to Vistas.) FWIW, back when HTC was updating Hero from 1.5 to 2.1, the phone first displayed a notification. It was even possible to specify that the update be downloaded only over WiFi. So I guess that it's vendor / carrier dependent.
