[android-developers] Re: UI troubles with Android 2.2

[Thibaut]

Thank you for your answer,

I call setOnClickListener() in the Activity while I create the list of
views. Then i give this list to the adapter. The Adapter::getView()
method just returns the view _list.get(position). See below for code
sample.

But I would like to say that the onclick behavior is very very strange
on that list (although everything works with Android 2.1). The last
item reacts correctly, but the previous ones seem to stack the call
and execute the whole stack as a batch when any action finally
succeeds.

In the Activity:

_listView = new ListView(this);
[ ... ]
PeriodListAdapter adapter = new PeriodListAdapter();

OnClickListener openMenu = new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
PeriodActivity.this.openContextMenu(v);
}
};

PeriodDescription therapyP = new PeriodDescription(this);
therapyP.setPeriod(p);
therapyP.setOnClickMenu(openMenu);
adapter.addPeriodDescription(therapyP);

[ ... ]

_listView.setAdapter(adapter);


Thanks for your interest

Thibaut, a poor disappointed developer...

The second trouble is resolved thanks to another message in this
google group ( 
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4e8ad65d5cc7f103/c0986e9ad4e655e2
). Nested scrollviews don't work anymore.

Does anyone have an idea why several click attempts are necessary to
open the context menu by clicking on an ImageView (located inside a
ListView)?

[android-developers] UI troubles with Android 2.2

[Thibaut]

Hello,

I have some strange UI troubles with Android 2.2.

First, I set an OnClickListener on an ImageView that should open the
context menu. Nothing happens on the first click attempts, but the
next ones trigger several context menu openings (the menu opens itself
when a menu item is selected) ...

Second, if the screen is landscape-oriented, a HorizontalScrollViewer
doesn't scroll as expected. It breaks its self movements, giving the
feeling to scroll step by step. Its behavior is normal when the screen
is portrait-oriented.

And everything is normal with Android 2.1.

Thanks

Thibaut

[android-developers] Re: Piracy Breakdown by Country

[Nicolas Thibaut]

hi keylabs:

1 - did you have used a "unique users" feature for your stats ?
because while user is not registered, you AAL will push a flurry
event.
if the user never register it will send an event each time he use the
app, so the pirated app will grow indefinitely.

[android-developers] Subscription to HorizontalScrollView

[Thibaut]

Hello,

I'm trying to develop a scrollable dot chart to represent temporal
events.

There are 2 HorizontalScrollViews in my layout.
I want the one above updates his position if the user changes the
position of the one below.
Is there any listener or anything else that can help me? I didn't find
anything about that...

Thanks in advance,

Thibaut

[android-developers] Android 2.2 : Quick contact on home screen : missing anchor

[Nicolas Thibaut]

Hi,
on my own home screen (still in developement), I have a bug with the
new Froyo's quick contact feature.

When I click on a contact shortcut in 2.2 home I have this intent
throwed:

05-31 11:36:10.160: INFO/ActivityManager(85): Starting activity:
Intent { act=com.android.contacts.action.QUICK_CONTACT dat=content://
com.android.contacts/contacts/lookup/1776i7dc33f6409757c55/68
flg=0x1400 cmp=com.android.contacts/.ui.QuickContactActivity
bnds=[125,586][235,704] (has extras)

When I do the same on my home screen, I have the same Intent without
the last bnds params(bounds ??)
And I throw an Exception like "missing anchor rectangle".

I see the bnds param on the Intent but I dont known when and how to ad
this param to my pick activity called with:
ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY and ACTION_CREATE_SHORTCUT

or directly to the Intent associated to my icon on the screen ?

thanks.

hi ,

the signal strength is broadcasted to you app.
I am using it like this:

and you initialize the listener like this

[android-developers] [Android 2.2] IMPORTANCE_EMPTY on process never set ?

[Nicolas Thibaut]

Hello,

on froyo emulator (and a nexus one with big memory), the flag
importance on the RunningAppProcessInfo seems to be never set.

On android version < 2.2 when you run an activity and press return,
the glag is set to IMPORTANCE_EMPTY and the id in the associated
RunningTaskInfo is  zero.
App stay in memory but have no "UI" process associated with it.

On android 2.2 the flag is never set and id seems to be >0.

Have the application lifecycle and memory management seriously
changed ?

Hi, Taskiller use ActivityManager to "kill" process (there is no kill

If I kill taskiller itselfs, the log are:

[android-developers] Re: Alarm is canceled if app is stopped

[Nicolas Thibaut]

:)
I am the taskiller developper.

If an user choose to kill your app. Your app may not be restarted.

Users are using taskiller because too more apps have bad  implemention
of  broadcasters.
Too many apps are launching without user action, like uninstalled
widgets, because they receive
Broadcast and dont verify the effective use of the app.
Too many apps are implementing Start on boot when not needed.

With taskiller, users are checking that too many apps are loaded on
startup and 50% of these apps are not useful at startup(like
meeboo,facebook,.. )

Too many apps are not explaining what they do. If your apps are using
background service, inform the user that the app will stay
in background, and maybe the users will not kill "stupidly" your app.

And the bad news is that others task managers are implementing
autokill or Boot killwhich can made many apps crashing (if
your app use an intents to another app...if this app is autokilled
your app will never worl :( ...
