I didn't need to click Manual Setup or change any server settings. My only suggestion is that you might have a firewall running on your PC that is blocking the emulator from accessing certain ports. Try turning any firewall software off on your machine as a test (and remember to check your router/switch settings too). If you are still having a problem then you might be looking at a bug, make sure you have the latest version of the emulator in case it has since been resolved. I think it could be a bug/issue that should be fixed... I don't know: should I give up or try to get it to work. But I think I've done my steps correct. I can't believe that this is my fault...

Re: [android-developers] How To Override the “Back ” button so it doesn’t Finish() my Activity?
When the user presses the back button, the activity in the foreground
is stopped (and destroyed). This is what always happens, for all apps.
What you really want is to restore the state of your activity when it
is re-launched. See:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/app/Activity.html#SavingPersistentState
- the section includes some sample code to get you started.
On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 4:42 PM, draf...@gmail.com draf...@gmail.com wrote:
I currently have an Activity that when it gets displayed a
Notification will also get displayed in the Notification bar.
This is so that when the User presses home and the Activity gets
pushed to the background they can get back to the Activity via the
Notification.
The problem arises when a User presses the back button, my Activity
gets destroyed but the Notification remains as I want the user to be
able to press back but still be able to get to the Activity via the
Notification. But when a USER tries this I get Null Pointers as its
trying to start a new activity rather than bringing back the old one.
So essentially I want the Back button to act the exact same as the
Home button and here is how I have tried so far:
---
�...@override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
if (Integer.parseInt(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK)
5
keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK
event.getRepeatCount() == 0) {
Log.d(CDA, onKeyDown Called);
onBackPressed();
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
public void onBackPressed() {
Log.d(CDA, onBackPressed Called);
Intent setIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
setIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
setIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(setIntent);
return;
}
---
However the above code still seems to allow my Activity to be
destroyed, How can I stop my Activity from being destroyed when the
back button is pressed?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Avoiding GPL
You really need to consult a specialist on this subject, developers (including me) have a tendency to give out I am not a lawyer type advice, which is inherently unreliable. In the strategy you describe, I believe putting A and B in the same APK means you are distributing both components as a single piece of software. A person cannot modify and distribute B without either bundling closed-source A, or modifying the build process (which also violates the GPL). You would be closer to a solution if you created 2 separate APK's, as long as A and B are completely independent of each other. The nature of the GPL is that the authors *do not want* their code distributed in a closed-source solution, and this is exactly why it is so difficult to find a legal way to do it. If you want to mix licences; seek legal advice, and/or contact the authors about the possibility of a dual-licence solution.

The LGPL is different, but conditions are very specific, and probably corresponds more to what you describe. However, this does not apply to the GPLv3. Please read the GPL Faq, it contains useful information. If you need to modify the source, then you need to be able to provide the modifications. If you need to integrate it with your app deeply so that you can't use the modified version without your app, then you need to open source the entire thing. IANAL but using a open source library in a closed source project without any modification should not provide any serious legal issues as long as everyone is properly credited and there is no stipulations in the license or on the creators website. I wouldn't recommend doing complex workarounds, because it just increases the amount of changes and dependencies between your app and the open source app, and shows that you were trying to circumvent things.

Re: [android-developers] Background apps (Instant Messaging) being killed without user notification
What Kostya said. When memory is critically low on the device, apps are killed outright to regain user control. Android was originally designed for mobile phones, and nobody wants to miss an incoming call because they have run out of memory. No notification is passed to the user, because well written apps should handle this themselves. Some will want to alert the user, others will want to carry on where they left off without bothering the user about the event. As a user, you can do the following: A) Contact the developers of Nimbuzz and explain the problem you are having. They have probably not benchmarked against such high load, and as a long-running service the app should really have a recovery process for when it is killed. An alarm manager could periodically check an is logged in flag, and automatically log the user back in if the background service was killed. B) Don't try to run so many tasks at once, or purchase a phone with more available memory (depending on your individual requirements).

Have a look around for other options, but you'll probably find scanning on the device very time consuming.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
Hello Mike, I somehow missed your last email.

Hi Sean,
i hope you also has gone out of answers. any way kindly let me know
this.
A -- B -- C --
C -- where? C to A? C to finished? C to force close dialog?
What I'm looking for is a visual flow of the activities, what isn't
clear is what is supposed to happen once you start hitting the back
button.
if i'm going to start Activity C from Activity B like this
startActivity(Activity C);
and when i press back button from activity C
�...@override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
finish();
return true;
}
return false;
}
since i have call finish() method application will redirect back to
Activity B
so once i'm redirected to Activity B is there a way to capture that
i'v been back to Activity B
Yes, this is the purpose of startActivityForResult() and onActivityResult().
because onCreate method will not fire up like that how can i capture
it. then i'll be bale to finish() the activity
You are still trying to fudge your existing code to work. You need to
take this back to the design stage and work out exactly what it is you
want to do.
Saying things like:
i want Activity C to run on top of Activity B.
Indicates that you require both activities to be open and
communicating with each other simultaneously, this is not a sensible
approach as Activity B could disappear at any time for a variety of
reasons.
Re-think your approach in terms of a website. You don't have
index.html and basket.html open at the same time, you communicate
between them using a combination of the HTTP request-response pattern
(in Android terms: startActivityforResult-onActivityResult), and
storage solutions such as databases and user sessions (in Android
terms: content providers and extending android.app.Application).
Decouple your dependencies between activities, and this will become a
lot easier.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to send mms from my code
I'm not sure of the best way to do this; but my understanding of the
mechanism is that the image is pulled from any given content provider
URI, just so long as the data returned can be understood by
BitmapFactory.decodeStream().
So a simple solution would be to create a new ContentProvider and pass
a corresponding URI to the Intent (instead of
content://content/external/images/...). You could then send a
drawable from your app using this custom content provider in the form
of a ByteArrayOutputStream.
A second approach would be to copy the drawable image to the external
storage, and use the URI format I gave in the example.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to send mms from my code
This acutally works if I select gmail, although the image name gets
changed to the resource id. However if I choose 'Messaging' from the
intent chooser, it throws a null pointer.
That's very odd. Have you tried the package/type/name format instead
of package/id?
Uri uri =
Uri.parse(android.resource://com.package.android.test/drawable/icon);
Or, alternatively, there might be something fishy with drawables
specifically, copy the image into the raw/ assets and try:
Uri uri = Uri.parse(android.resource://com.package.android.test/raw/icon);
I'll give it a test tonight. As I said, the MMS (Messaging) app
requires the image to be read in by BitmapFactory. It might be having
trouble with the fact the location is read-only... My guess is that
the Email/GMail apps reference the image file directly, and don't try
to transform it before sending.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How global is the app market?
I agree, it's a little tricky to use a Chinese language-only site when, like me, you are not able to read Chinese. I admit, it's completely my fault that I'm not multilingual, but there are many like me and it is a barrier for both sides. Also, even if I could navigate my way around the site, would the users of these app markets want their results filled with non-translated English apps? I've had a number of people email me offering to translate my app and put it on their markets, but unfortunately they only point me to their non-English site and I can't make head nor tail of it. I usually just avoid replying because I can't tell if what they are offering is legitimate. My suggestion to anyone wanting to successfully offer international app markets, app translations, and improve the global market for Android in general: Build an multi-language site explaining what you do, and advertise it prominently in your email correspondence. I'd be happy to help out in some small way (proof reading the English translations, etc), but I think significant effort will be required to make this a success.

Re: [android-developers] automatically turn on application
You might be able to use a Service and SensorListener for this, you will need to work out how often you would want to run the Service to poll the accelerometer for movement, as frequent polling will drain the battery. I've also read that the sensors can stop returning results when the screen goes to sleep (as a battery saving action), you might be able to get around this by applying a PARTIAL_WAKELOCK for each poll. Once you've detected sensor movement, a simple startActivity(this, YourAppActivity.class); should kick start your application.

Re: [android-developers] Can't grok Activity life cycle.
There are a lot of large successful games available on Android, and they all appear to be using the activity lifecycle without much problem. I would start by taking a look at how they work. My experience is that a game might pause when I leave to answer a phone call or run another app. When I return, the app offers to resume gameplay, and very occasionally an app will present a loading screen as the game is re-loading its state. The resume time never takes long (if it is needed at all), which suggests that most existing mobile games strive to ensure there is not a lot of game state to save. This is the common case, and the one mobile gamers are used to. The worst case for the end user is if the game developer has worked around the app lifecycle to keep their game in memory, and it causes incoming phone calls to become unresponsive or drop completely.

Re: [android-developers] Does specifying 2.2 exclude any devices?
An interesting question. Many of us outside the U.S. are still on 2.1, what's your app called? I'll check that I can see it on the market and run it without problems. Have you tested your app on older versions of Android? I have several emulator AVD's for testing against 1.5, 2.1, and 2.2. It would be useful to know how your app reacts on an older platform when the SD card installation option is turned on, is the setting just ignored?

For smaller scale games the time to load from scratch is so short you might not realize that the game is actually being restarted. Some examples of the games I was referring to are Armageddon Squadron and Raging Thunder 2, both produced by Polarbit: http://www.polarbit.com. I would consider them both large scale games, but I guess the meaning is relative. The framework is what it is and we can discuss this to the cows come home. The original point was knowing the order of all the calls and now it's clear enough that I can work with it. Apologies, I didn't mean to sound patronising. I'm merely interested in this kind of topic, particularly with extreme conditions such as the game state handling that you described. I also found the earlier discussion between you and Mark very informative. Oddly enough on BlackBerry I just have to pause my game when being put into the background and I resume when put back into focus. I don't loose my OpenGL context and I am not forced to do anything. The end user experience is better as there are no forced loads. I would have thought a newer API would be easier for the developer. I agree losing the OpenGL context can involve a bit of work, I'm not familiar with BlackBerry development so I can't make comparisons. The Rokon game engine tends to handle this by wrapping a SurfaceView and keeping track of the context during the lifecycle: http://code.google.com/p/rokon/source/browse/trunk/OpenGL/GLSurfaceView.java?spec=svn25r=25. This seems to be effective, but it does leave you wondering why the context lifetime isn't looked after for you by default.

I would start by taking a look at how they work. My experience is that a game might pause when I leave to answer a phone call or run another app. When I return, the app offers to resume gameplay, and very occasionally an app will present a loading screen as the game is re-loading its state. The resume time never takes long (if it is needed at all), which suggests that most existing mobile games strive to ensure there is not a lot of game state to save. This is the common case, and the one mobile gamers are used to. The worst case for the end user is if the game developer has worked around the app lifecycle to keep their game in memory, and it causes incoming phone calls to become unresponsive or drop completely.

Re: [android-developers] App disappears from the Market after upgrade
I can confirm the app is available on my Nexus One and the G1. It's also visible on the Android Market according to Cyrket: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/net.yuvalsharon.android.netsms/ If it has only disappeared on your phone, perhaps you need to turn the sync setting on so the Android Market data is updated?

Re: [android-developers] Passing Bitmap to Another Activity
Personally, I would avoid keeping that bitmap in memory, otherwise you
are consuming a lot of resources and run the risk of hitting
performance/heap space limitations.
You could use openFileOutput() and getCacheDir() to store the contents
of the Bitmap into a temporary file:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal
Then pass the path to the file via the Intent.putExtra() mechanism
that you are already using. This way you are only loading the bitmap
into memory when it is needed, solving your problem of transferring it
to the other activity, and ensuring the temporary file is cleaned up
if your app crashes before you have time to delete it.

Re: [android-developers] Re: MediaController in MediaPlayer
Abhi,
I'm not to sure about video playback outside of the VideoView, I
expect you have some substitute view to replace VideoView, as
MediaPlayer is just an interface to the back-end A/V component and
does no UI handling.
Looking at the MediaController, it accepts any view that implements
MediaPlayerControl:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/widget/MediaController.MediaPlayerControl.html
The only build-in view that does this in the Android SDK is the
VideoView - but you should be able to make your substitute view
implement MediaPlayerControl and use it in exactly the same way. You
will just need to handle the callback methods that are defined in
MediaPlayerControl.
e.g.
public class MyVideoCanvas
extends SurfaceView
implements MediaPlayerControl {
private MediaController ctlr;
private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
public void onCreate() {
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
ctlr = new MediaController(this);
ctlr.setMediaPlayer(this);
ctlr.setAnchorView(this);
ctlr.setEnabled(true);
ctlr.show();
}
public void pause() {
// This is an example of a callback method from MediaPlayerControl...
mediaPlayer.pause();
}
// ...
}
I haven't tested this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Re: [android-developers] How to send mms from my code
There is currently no public API available for sending MMS messages (that is, SMS messages with embedded multimedia content). You can launch the built-in MMS app along with your content using an Intent, as described here: http://jtribe.blogspot.com/2008/12/sending-mms-with-android.html. Alternatively, you could attempt to use the internal API to send your message, which is not obviously recommended but depending on your purposes it might be your preferred solution. For this, you'll need to investigate the inner workings of the MMS app in the Androidn source code: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Mms.git. 2010/6/7 Геннадий Дубина hamster...@gmail.com: Hi, I need to send mms from my code?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
Mike,
You need to think of activities like a stack of cards. If you open
one, it will be placed on top of the pack. So if you want to open a
new activity from Activity B, just do use startActivity() as normal.
Activity A --- Activity B -- Activity C
When you close Activity C, do a setResult(RESULT_CANCELLED) followed
by finish() just like I described for Activity B. Activity B will
handle the onActivityResult(), where you tell it to do the same thing
again. This way you are popping the activities off the stack
one-by-one, when there are no more activities left, the app will
close. To the user, this will appear as though Activity A and Activity
B had been closed when Activity C opened.
Your second option, which I did not think of before, is to add the
android:noHistory=true attribute to Activity A and Activity B in
your AndroidManifest.xml. I don't have much experience with this flag,
but my understanding is that it will close the current activity when
another one is opened. The first approach will give you more control,
but this attribute might be simpler:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#nohist
If I'm on the wrong track here, perhaps you could describe what you
want step-by-step. At the moment, it sounds like you want the stack to
have just one activity at all times.
Cheers,
Sean

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
OK Mike, so reading carefully through your explanation, it looks to me
that the process you want is this:
A - B - C - A - (app close)
Whilst what you are actually getting, with your current code, is this:
A - B - C - A - A - B - (unknown)
The complex nature of your activity jumping suggests that the code is
simply too complex. I suggest you replace all the onKeyDown() and
startActivityForResult() handling for something like this:
Activity A
// This code goes in the correct method of Activity A to start Activity B
startActivity(new Intent(ActivityA, ActivityB));
Activity B
// This code goes in the correct method of Activity B to start Activity C
startActivity(new Intent(ActivityB, ActivityC));
// Set the noHistory attribute for Activity B in your AndroidManifest.xml
activity android:name=ActivityB android:noHistory=true.../activity
Activity C
// This code goes in the correct method of Activity C to jump back to Activity A
finish();
The outcome should be the navigation you are looking for. Activity B
is skipped when you press the back button from Activity C. Pressing
the back button again will close the application.

Sean

startActivityForResult(Activity B, 102);
Activity A -- Activity B
after 5 seconds Activity B will starts Activity C
StartActivity(Activity C)

on top of Activity B, Activity C will be run.
this is Activity C onCreate method

this is manifest.xml

so Activity C will run on top of Activity B.
so when i pressed back button from activity C
application should redirects to Activity A.

startActivity(new Intent(Acitivyt C, Activity

return true;
}
return false;
}
Application redirects to Activity A and when i pressed back from
Activity A
again it redirects to Activity B and will not close the application.
this is what i'm doing in Activity A
�...@override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

Re: [android-developers] How does a held wakelock impact if the service dies with out releasing it?
Wake locks should be released when the object is garbage collected. See the finalize() method in the WakeLock subclass here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/os/PowerManager.java You will get a thrown exception in your logs if this occurs. So, as long as your Service is no longer referenced in memory (e.g. it has been destroyed), the wakelock should be released.

I'm not aware of a system-wide key press listener, but check out the org.openintents.audio.action_volume_update bradcast intent: http://www.openintents.org/en/node/380 That should allow you to detect changes in the volume setting (including the button presses).

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android finishActivity()
Mike,
You've done half the work already, except there is a little confusion
on the purpose of the finishActivity() method. That method only works
the other way around (closing Activity B from Activity A).
What you need to do now is send a result back to Activity A telling
it to call finish(). See the Returning a Result from a Screen
section here:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html#opennewscreen
In Activity B, you simple want to do:
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);
finish();
}
and in Activity A, you want to handle the result callback:
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
finish();
}
}

Re: [android-developers] Market
If you don't mind a potential delay after publishing the other app, then you could query Cyrket for its package name. For instance: http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.blau.android.richer/; You will get a 200 (success) response if the app is available on the market, or a 404 (page not found) if not. Careful not to pound the Cyket server with requests though, or you're likely to get blocked. I think a more sensible solution would be to handle this yourself, publish the app with the event triggering a simple Coming soon dialog, then publish another version with the Intent added as soon as the other app is on the market.

Maybe you can decrypt the m3u file yourself to get the mpeg itself.

Re: [android-developers] decoder-decode returned false
I assume you are trying to The image decoder library (called Skia) is failing to parse the image data for those images. There are a number of things that can cause this problem: 1) The input file is not actually an image (e.g. if it is accessed from the Web, it might actually be a 404 error page) 2) The image has corrupted during the download. It could be that the image was always corrupted, or that it did not download properly. See this link for some hints: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1630258/android-problem-bug-with-threadsafeclientconnmanager-downloading-images 3) You are not completely downloading the image - this often happens if you use an InputStream and don't call close() to flush the remaining data out of the stream. 4) A bug in Skia, which is not uncommon (though the above 3 are more likely). Try copying the images that you download to the SD card and opening them on your development machine. If they aren't corrupted, then check your source code for unclosed streams or lack of data buffering. If you still have the problem, post up your source code so we can see what it is you're actually trying to do.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How get SIM number
The getLine1Number() method in TelephonyManager retrieves the data in the phone number stored on the SIM card (NOT the phone number bound to the user's account) - this is often either wrong or non-existent, depending on the network provider it was shipped from. For example, UK Vodafone appear to never populate this field on their SIM cards (someone might prove me wrong here, but I've had a lot of user feedback from my What's My Number? app confirming this). Also, people who transfer their numbers will still have the old number that was originally shipped with their SIM card stored in that field, it is never updated. The only solution I can offer you is to ask the user for their phone number, and provide the number in the SIM card as a default value if it is available. Never expect the number to be present or correct though. If you find a better solution I would be very interested to hear it, but I don't think that solution will come from the SIM card.

Re: [android-developers] Big difficult to develop in Android :( (I'm italian)
I agree with Fred, explain what problems you are having. Don't just say something vague like I'm finding it difficult, we need to know exactly what things you are finding difficult to help you. The SDK docs are actually very comprehensive, but you need to use the tutorials to learn Android. Check out the on-line tutorials: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html. Or alternatively buy a book on Android development, there are a lot of good ones available these days. On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 7:23 PM, massimo maxloveg...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm italian boy.

Re: [android-developers] Ant vs Eclipse build difference
Your team member was using the Java 6 JDK. The @XmlSeeAlso annotation is not available in the Java 5 SDK: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSeeAlso.html I've seen this happen a lot. You need to either switch to JDK6 to build your app, or find an JDK5 compatible alternative for the jar that requires XmlSeeAlso (at a wild guess, I presume it's a web services client library?).

There are no setting changes in Eclipse, either at workspace or project level. Similarly, our ant is also a vanilla- flavored unmodified installation of 1.7.1. JDK is 1.5.0_22.

If google thinks that making an XNA like framework could enhance Android's adoption and device sales enough to bring more ad-revenues/ SaaS-revenues (because more phones would be around if such a framework existed), then google could be interested in creating such framework. However, if the potiential return on such a framework is not large enough, then they won't do it. You are of course correct, though I firmly believe spending lots of time speculating on such things will 100% fail to actually get the work done. There is also the question of whether Google are the ideal company to produce such a framework. Microsoft have invested a lot in DirectX and their XBox projects, they have the experience and the partners to make it work. What experience do Google have in the games industry? Personally I think they are stretching themselves enough with their shoulder barging into the mobile market, without trying to dive into the centre of the extremely competitive games market. Having said that, the Android platform does need to compete in this field. This seems like the perfect opportunity for a start-up, or an established games development company, to build a native framework and contribute it upstream. Mario's library might be a good starting point for this - as well as a technical evaluation of the other libraries/engines out there (such as Rokon by StickyCoding). The way to move forward would be to actively pursue a solution though, rather than mull around the topic passing notes to Google like we were in the Peoples' Front of Judea. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Making sure activity is alive to receive Intent?
There are better ways of handling this. The purpose of an Intent is to atomically request that an action is performed (and optionally retrieve the result of that action), not to continue a discussion with the activity throughout it's continued lifetime. There are a number of ways to do what you want, if both the calling and callee activities are in the same app (just a startActivity() type call), you could use shared preferences: http://www.androidcompetencycenter.com/2009/01/android-basics-managing-activity-states-part-ii/ If the activities are in different apps, you should use a content provider to handle the IPC: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html Either approach will allow you to share the state data between your activities.

String href = linkElement.getAttributeValue(href);

Personally, I've found example use cases very useful when determining where a technology might be of use to me. Just an idea anyway. With regard to the intents survey: I always prefer if intents are provided, if for no other reason than they help make the intent framework more powerful. At present I personally have no immediate requirement for an intent API though.

Re: [android-developers] How to disable the Android device (android.permission.BRICK?)
I dont think I fully understand your question... Are you looking for something in the public API that will render a user's Android device useless for a period of time? Just how far do you expect this bricking to go? Will they still be able to use their phone for other purposes, e.g. making emergency calls? If you're looking for your app to be invasive to the user, you're unlikely to find it in the public API. Perhaps take a look at how the various lock screen apps work.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Multitouch seems badly broken on Nexus One 2.1-update1
It doesn't seem as good because it isn't as good. Have you looked at the supported gestures page I linked you to? http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/gestures/touchpad All of the gestures that the screen used by the Nexus One claims to support would not be affected by the issues you describe. You can pinch, press (1 or 2 fingers), tap, flick and pivot rotate (this is a 90 degree rotation gesture, see the link for more info). I can't speak for the Droid, because there doesn't seem to be any information about its hardware components, but they may have re-used the Synaptics touch interface driver to maintain a consistent feel with existing phones on the market (http://www.synaptics.com/about/press/press-releases/synaptics-provides-touch-interface-driver-android-software-development-ki). Ultimately, you need to remember that you are developing for a device agnostic platform, unlike the iPhone. There are budget touch screens in the wild as well as expensive ones. Don't consider just the Droid and Nexus One, consider the Dream and Tattoo as well. These sensitive gestures that you're striving for will simply not work on these devices.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Multitouch seems badly broken on Nexus One 2.1-update1
So Sean, your answer to that is simply : Don't use multitouch at all !! No. My point was that you shouldn't rely on the touch screen for complex gestures (particularly multi-touch). Otherwise your game will be useless to anyone with a handset that doesn't support dual/multi touch, or has characteristics that make the gestures less precise (like having a smaller screen). By all means use multi-touch gestures, but ensure that the gestures are simple and provide alternative methods of user input where necessary. Perhaps I was making some assumptions, there may be games developers out there who only want to support a handful of devices - particularly the high-end spec ones, and have no interest in the mid/low budget ones aimed for the mass market. Come on Google, give us a way to compete against the iphone as a gaming platform :s Google?! Don't you mean Motorola / HTC / Samsung / Sony / etc? I have a wide range of rich highly immersive games on my Android device now, compared to the limited number there were last year. Just because certain multi-touch gestures are not possible on many of the handsets does not mean it is not providing a competitive gaming platform to the iPhone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Multitouchdefinitely works better on the Droid than on the HTC screens but I saw many similar issues involving interactions between the two touched spots. It doesn't seem to flip axis as much as the HTC screens, though. This really is unfortunate for the platform as a whole that the screens are so weak with this feature.

Maybe I read incorrectly, but from what you and Dianne are saying, the issues the rest of the guys talk about.. where by touching one place, then a 2nd.. then lifting one finger, then touch again and the wrong data being sent.. this has to do with the massive events being sent and the confusion lies in that the MotionEvent is reporting incorrect data..but somewhere in there is the correct data.. and from what it looks like, Lukehutch's code resolves that issue? If that is correct, great.. maybe Robert Green and others can take that class of his and retrofit it and report back on this thread if it works. But if so, why not put that into the core of the framework for all to benefit? Clearly this has been a problem for the likes of Robert and others who have done great work with game development and are complaining that it's ruining the ability to develop comparable (at least in multi-touch) games as iPhone.. so why not provide the corrected data within Android itself?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Appwidget with fast updating needed ...
I was puzzling over this one, but I agree that a new home screen is a good idea. It will give you the flexibility you need to display custom views, at a suitable refresh rate. You will, however, have to deal with all the resource consumption issues that go with it. A 5fps update on the home screen is likely to drain the battery pretty badly when the phone is idle.

If you want something updating on the home screen every second, write your own home screen, so it can all stay within a single process. I could tweak the 30 minute update time but it doesn't helps too much - the appwidget framework is simply too slow with all that serialization and would eat too much CPU. Correct. That's because Android is trying to blend both features (app widgets) and security. What other solutions can be used? You could write your own home screen. I've seen that a system service (LoadAverageService for example) would do the job but that one is not really configurable, has to be compiled into Android so I kinda don't like it.

Good point Mark. It would take a little forward thinking, but then again so would an app widget, if it were possible. Another option might be to implement a live wallpaper with the measurement gauges you want to display. The advantages would be that you wouldn't need to replace the whole home screen to draw, and I think it would also lend well to the resource consumption problem (live wallpapers stop all activity when the home screen is no longer in focus). But there are a number of drawbacks I can think for too: 1) The gauges would be drawn behind the other home screen furniture, and might be obscured by icons etc. 2) I don't think you can use native controls, you would have to draw the display on a canvas. 3) There is less support for live wallpapers on existing Android handsets, compared to support for app widgets and custom home screens.

Is this an Android platform issue with how it handles sensor data.. or are you saying that the G1, myTouch, Nexus One and Moto Droid (not sure about others) ALL have built their touch sensors to purposely report this sort of behavior when you touch, then release, then touch again as Robert and several other posters have state is happening?

Re: [android-developers] Standard Android Music Player
Accroding to a comment in the OpenIntents site (http://www.openintents.org/en/node/112), this should work: Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW); Uri data = Uri.parse(file:///sdcard/song.mp3); String type = audio/mp3; intent.setDataAndType(data, type); startActivity(intent); Haven't tested it though.

Re: [android-developers] Re: problems using SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK
You need this permission: uses-permission android:name=android.permission.WAKE_LOCK / Be sure to have a read up on the permissions framework, it's pretty fundamental to Android development. http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/security/security.html#permissions SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK does not dim the screen. It prevents the screen from automatically turning off (hence the wake lock bit), whilst still allowing the backlight to turn off. The developer docs describe the command as a Wake lock that ensures that the screen is on (but may be dimmed); the keyboard backlight will be allowed to go off. It sounds like what you really want is to manipulate the screen brightness in the system settings. I haven't done this before, but you could try something like: Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS, 10); Take a look at the manual for more info... http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 3:35 PM, guich guiha...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks! Not so obvious to me. :-) Where can i see the permissions that have to be set in order to get access to a feature? I couldn't find anything in the documentation. Well, now the lock works, but the screen is still BRIGHT! I'm using a G2. Maybe this doesn't work in a G2? greetings, guich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to run android application from super user(administrator) mode
Are you using a rooted phone?
Elevated privileges will be refused on a stock build. I'm not sure
what the actual effect will be. I would expect a SecurityException,
but it's possible that the su program is simply not visible to
user-space processes.
Also, you are not specifying the full path to the su program, I doubt
it will be included in your PATH.
What is it you're trying to achieve? That code looks very vulnerable
to attacks...
