[android-developers] Re: Looking for Accelerometer Example
Hi Kwilliaa, I've started an open source project that uses the accelerometer to dispay a three axis artificial horizon here: http://code.google.com/p/androidcompass/ You can download the finished product from the Market. It's called 'New Horizons'. It's based on some detailed worked examples in my book, Professional Android Application Development. Hope it helps!

[android-developers] New Android Book: Professional Android Application Development
Aplogies for this blatant self-promotion, but after many months of at times frustrating work, I'm extremely proud to announce the release of Professional Android Application Development through Wrox Press. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470344717?tag=interventione-20 I believe it's the first fully 1.0 complient book available in dead- tree format. Happily, I've been able to make some free resources available as part of the release, including two free chapters as PDFs! Chapter 1 introduces Android and points out some of its features and advantages. http://android.radioactiveyak.com/book-resources/downloads/Pro_Android_Dev_CH01.pdf Chapter 7 Details how to use maps, location-based services, and the geocoder http://android.radioactiveyak.com/book-resources/downloads/Pro_Android_Dev_CH07.pdf You can find links to these and other resources, including code downloads for all the tutorials and examples used in the book, from the book's Android Resource Portal: http://android.radioactiveyak.com Thanks to all the Android developers on these forums -- both offical Googlers and other, like myself, learning it from the outside -- who helped make this possible. Hopefully some of you will find the book helpful for your own Android development experience.

[android-developers] Re: Receiving SMS Messages in 1.0?
There's a bit of confusion upthread, so I'm just confirming that
Cristina's code sample works perfectly.
Using it you can listen for incoming SMS messages and extract each
message from the Intent. Thanks Christina!

Maybe you can use the debugger in order to see if you are receiving
the intent bundle with the extra pdus...
Using the debugger I discovered that the intent bundle has this pdus
extra, which is an Object[].
Each Object[] element is a pdu (byte[])
Can you see this using the debugger? Where is your application
failing?

Hi,
I do not know if it is the right way, but I have found a way to get
the message.
Here I include my code to get the SmsMessages. I hope it helps you
public class ServerMessagesReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static final String ACTION =
android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED;
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION)) {
StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
Object[] pdusObj = (Object[]) bundle.get(pdus);
SmsMessage[] messages = new
SmsMessage[pdusObj.length];
for (int i = 0; ipdusObj.length; i++) {
messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu
((byte[]) pdusObj[i]);
}
...
By the way, Does somebody know how to receive an SMS that has been
sent using
an application port using the methos.sendDataMessage?

[android-developers] Re: Replacing Dialer, IM, and SMS Apps
I've found the answer to some of these questions independantly, so I'll answer myself here for the reference of others: 1) Intercepting SMS Messages. The helper strings and methods to simplify intercepting incoming SMS messages have been removed, but you can still listen for (and read) incoming messages manually: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/android-developers/msg/f7808980db6fc5cf 2) Hidden Content Providers. The open access guarantees don't necessarily grant access to the underlying content providers that power the native applications. At the moment (this might change) access to the native mail, SMS, and IM Content Providers is not available. 3) Telephony APIs. You can listen for incoming / outgoing calls but you can't interact with them. That means you can replace the dialer (fire the DIAL action to initiate the call), but you can't (yet) replace the 'in-call' screen that lets users answer and end calls. 4) Instant Messaging. There's not API to support any sort of instant messaging in the 1.0 r1 release.

Hi Dave, Seems like a good a time as any to plug my own book :) Professional Android Application Development will by out November 17 and it's fully up-to-date with SDK 1.0.

[android-developers] Re: Test Location Providers in 1.0
That might force the emulator to turn on the GPS (this was insufficient for me in 0.9, I still needed to enable and activate the GPS provider in code first). I haven't had a chance to test in 1.0 yet. Either way, it still only covers part of the problem. The test-location-provider-thing also lets you emulate the GPS being turned on / off, mock it's availability, and programatically modify the current location. It also lets you experiment with alternative location services that have different capabilities than the built-in GPS and Network providers. All that stuff was useful, it would be a shame if it's gone now.
