Re: [android-developers] 7-Day Notification of Google Play Developer Term Violation
Thanks Dallas for supporting me! The first link applies to apk you download install from internet that would be incorrectly detected as harmfull, so not my case The second link is much more interesting, but (hopefully) I am not yet in the case where my app is removed. So far I have just been warned. It is now more than 8 days since I got the warning and no new (good nor bad) notification received so far. I hope my changes to the app description in Google Play are considered as enough. Else I will have to use this form...

[android-developers] Advice for a strategic game map
Hi, I am starting the development of a strategy game. For that I would like to develop an interactive galaxy map with objects (basically planets, spaceships). Note this would NOT be a real time game, but a turn by turn game. What is the best way to start knowing I would like a typical mapview touch controls (scroll, zoom) but of course with my own map content :) - ViewGroup and I develop everything? - Custom MapView? - Some higher level android or google class - third party open source toolkit Any suggestion welcome Thierry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: android.text.format.DateFormat.format performance
Wow nice! I haven't tried JNI before as well and I could not imagine it
would be interesting for such small functions.
In my case though I will stick to Calendar use as the time spent for time
formating is now little enough compared to the remaining parts. Si I won't
gain significant in further optimization.
2011/10/18 Studio LFP studio@gmail.com
Thanks for the update!
I just sat down and put together a JNI routine that uses strftime in C and
I took my formatting from 50%+ of the routine that was populating my view
down to 0.2%. I would call that a significant improvement! Here is the code
I used:
Java Class
public class JNIUtils
{
private static native String dateFormatJNI( String sFormat, long millis
);
static
{
System.loadLibrary( jniutils );
}
public static String dateFormat( String sFormat, long lTime )
{
return dateFormatJNI( sFormat, lTime );
}
}
C File
#include jni.h
#include time.h
JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL
Java_com_company_project_jni_JNIUtils_dateFormatJNI( JNIEnv *env, jclass
cls, jstring format, jlong millis )
{
time_t javaTime = millis/1000;
struct tm * timeInfo;
char buffer[32];
const jbyte *str;
str = (*env)-GetStringUTFChars( env, format, NULL );
timeInfo = localtime( javaTime );
strftime( buffer, 32, str, timeInfo );
(*env)-ReleaseStringUTFChars( env, format, str );
return (*env)-NewStringUTF( env, buffer );
}
I am new to JNI, so I'm not sure how clean this code is. I know C/C++, but
I'm getting use to how you have to deal with the Java-to-C layers properly.
Regardless, this runs about 250x (or more) faster than the built-in Java
version.
You may want to check this out if you feel like getting the NDK installed
and configured to where you can build the libraries.

It is slow and so is String.format(). I've been messing around with it
a bit and here is a *rough *sample I tested:
private static final String DATE_AM_PM[] = { am, pm };
private static Date dFormat = new Date();
private static int iHour, iAMPM;
public static String formatDate( long lTimestamp )
{
dFormat.setTime( lTimestamp );
iHour = dFormat.getHours();
if( iHour == 0 ) { iHour = 12; iAMPM = 0; }
if( iHour == 12 ) { iAMPM = 1; }
else if( iHour 0 iHour 11 ) { iAMPM = 0; }
else if( iHour 12 iHour 24 ) { iHour -= 12; iAMPM = 1; }
return dFormat.getMonth() + / + dFormat.getDay() + / +
(dFormat.getYear() + 1900) + + iHour + : + dFormat.getMinutes() +
DATE_AM_PM[ iAMPM ];
}
As I said, it is rough and doesn't even format the output fully.
I tossed this in my application and used it a bit for a speed test and
this takes up half the time as the formatting routines do. Funny thing is,
it has nothing to do with the date part. It seems the formatters are using
a
StringBuffer and some replace functions in the StringBuffer and that is
what
is slowing it down. I may try to work up a JNI replacement and see if some
sprintf or fprintf action fix the issue but it may not because of the extra
layer.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Custom DialogPreference and PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues issue
Okay, I give up.
My preference default value will be copied in the preference access code as
well:
value = sharedPref.getInt(mykey,myDirtyHardcodedDefaultValue );
If ever someone has a better solution, it will be welcome :)

Hi Ibendlin,

I don't think the problem is in SeekBarPreference.onSetInitialValue()

There is certainly an issue somewhere in my implementation; when
setDefaultValues is called, only SeekBarPreference constructor is called.

[android-developers] Custom DialogPreference and PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues issue
Hi, I have integrated a custom DialogPreference (SeekBarPreference from http://android.hlidskialf.com/blog/code/android-seekbar-preference). But I can't make the call to PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues correctly initialize the preference to defaut value. After looking at android source, I would expect that onSetInitialValue(boolean restore, Object defaultValue) is called, which is not the case. Is there something missing so that PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues works as expected on this preference?

Hi,
I have a strange behavior in a very specific case and wonder if the issue
comes from my code or not.
I have a TabActivity A with 2 tabs:
- Tab 1 content is created as a view with a spinner in it
- Tab 2 content is an activity B.
I want at some point when Tab2 is selected to switch to Tab 1 and update
spinner selection in it.
Case 1)
Tab 2 is selected, from Activity B context:
activityA.updateSpinnerSelection(newposition);
activityA.getTabHost().setCurrentTabByTag(tab1tag);
later AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener.onItemSelected is called with my
newposition
= so this *usually *works fine:
Case 2)
Tab 2 is selected, from Activity B context, but before doing the same
things, if the users for some reason *first open a new acticity C on top
of B (like preference screen) and close this activity C*, (so A and B are
paused then resumed), then if I later try again the same things:
activityA.updateSpinnerSelection(newposition);
activityA.getTabHost().setCurrentTabByTag(tab1tag);
so far so goog, but later
AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener.onItemSelected is called not with
newposition as argument *but with the older position value*.
I hope the description is clear.
Did I missed something? or could this behavior dues to some bug in Android?

Re: [android-developers] Re: AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener.onItemSelected called with out of date position argument!
Hi Kostya,
Thanks to try to help to sort this out. unfortunatly I don't think this is
the cause in this case:
Activity A is a TabActivity that embeds activity B being in tab 2. Indeed
when I select tab 1 from activity B using setCurrentTabByTag , *Activity A
is already in running state* (I checked onResume was called earlier), so I
dont think onRestoreInstanceState will be called here.
Also I tried to place a breakpoint in onItemSelected, but this was no help,
it seems to be triggered using runOnUIThread() or similar.
But on the idea, you are probably close. It seems Android is trying to
restore an old state (spinner position). Either this is a bug, or I did not
correctly used setSelection. I am wondering if calling setPosition from
another activity is a safe pratice??
Thierry.
2011/3/2 Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com
Thierry,
I think you are seeing interaction between the activity's
onRestoreInstanceState and your setSelection.
Should be pretty easy to check by overriding onRestoreInstanceState in
ActivityA and/or the spinner and logging them - as well as your code that
calls setSelection. Then you can re-run both scenarios from your original
email and watch the exact sequence of events.

Re: [android-developers] Re: AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener.onItemSelected called with out of date position argument!
(putting again CC to android as your answer seems quite usefull to android
community!)
Wow, thanks Kostya, I am impressed by this so detailed answer :). Answers
inline.
2011/3/2 Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com
Yes, if the activity isn't getting recreated, there won't be
onRestoreInstanceState due to activity lifecycle. However it can still be
called on the spinner view under certain conditions.
For a cursor-based adapter, a managed cursor gets closed/reopened when the
activity is paused / resumed, which causes the data set to be invalidated.
AdapterView saves and restores selection state when that happens, by
calling onSaveInstanceState / onRestoreInstanceState on itself: see
AdapterDataSetObserver in AdapterView.java.
Selection state *can* be delivered asynchronously, when an adapter view is
undergoing a layout: see SelectionNotifier in the same source file. That's
another possibility, that the spinner is undergoing a layout, and actually,
AdapterView does request layout when the data set changes - so we're back to
the question of, what kind of adapter are you using for the spinner?
Indeed, my spinner use a SimpleCursorAdapter. It seems in my case, the view
is underoing a layout after selected tab has been changed and the new view
containing the spinner needs to be drawn.
A couple practical things to try that came to my mind are:
1 - Post selection change from Activity B to tab1 asynchronously, using a
Handler, after calling setCurrentTab;
If this works, this would be a neat solution as it will clearly keep
separated activites code.
I will definitively try that instead of my dirty flag trick, thanks :-)
2 - If tab activities have onResume called when switched (I haven't used
tabs, so don't know) ...
Not in my case as tab 1 content is not an activity but only a view. so when
I select tab 2, Activity A (which is the TabActivity) does not pause, but
stay actives.
... - you could set the new selection state as a member variable in tab1,
and set the new selection in its onResume (probably after calling the base
class).
Finally, as a side note, this falls into the 0,01% of bugs for which it's
very useful to have Android framework sources installed in the Eclipse
debugger. I have detailed instructions in my blog, under tools - it recently
really helped me resolve a similar bug caused by interference with that very
same code in AdapterView.
Thanks again for this tip!
BTW your blog looks like a goldmine to me, I think I will re-use your IP
address EditText :)
Thierry.

Hi Miguel, Difficult to be 100% sure, but I don't think so, I have several asynctask which updates my sqlite DB, but I update the GUI (changing cursor, etc.) in onPostExecute. I will definitively do a code rereading anyway about that. What makes me ask question is the PopupWindow in the backtrace.

So it seems there is no universal video streaming solution over 3G network with VLC as server and Android device as client :( Summary: Flash Video/HTTP: compatible with VLC, compatible with 3G network, not compatible with all android device MP4/HTTP: not compatible with VLC, OK with 3G network, OK with all android device MP4/RTSP: OK with VLC, not compatible with all 3G network, OK with all android device Sound only/HTTP: compatible with VLC, compatible with 3G network, compatible with all android device Thierry. 2010/12/20 Thierry Legras tleg...@gmail.com Hi, I would like to stream video files to Android device, and intend to integrate playback in my application. I first tried to use flash video streaming, which works pretty nice on my HTC Hero which integrated flash player, but now on Floyo ROM it does not work any more. I guess HTC player is more complete than froyo 2.2 flash support. Then I tried to stream with VLC software using RTSP and it appears to work only with WiFi. On 3G, I see on the streaming PC that the stream is sent, but nothing is displayed on the Android device, whereas it works on WiFi. I found this very interesting page from VLC stream convert developper which seems to show that this method is hazardous.

I made it work (WiFi AND 3G) for audio stream only, but when I try to stream audio+video, it does not work at all (WiFi nor 3G). Of course I set the bitrate and screen size to low so it is supposed to work at least in WiFi. I tried several combination codec/muxer with no luck. So anyone knows if it is ever possible to stream video over HTTP? if yes, any idea which codec/muxer is supposed to work?

Re: [android-developers] How to stream video to android device over HTTP.
Hi, Thanks for your answer. Well I did not tried a VideoView but the MediaPlayer and a SurfaceView as given by ApiDemos. However I consider the code as good as it works for RTSP stream on WiFi. What kind of stream do you open from your VideoView? are you able to open RTSP stream through 3G networks? There must be a universal method that works on both WiFi and 3G; there are so many applications like those weather applications that propose forecast videos. Thierry. 2010/12/20 andy zhao zxganga...@gmail.com Hi, I don't know which method or class you use to play the audio or video stream.

[android-developers] Modularity: advises to develop an applicatin plugin that could access application Sqlite, preferences, ...
Hi, I want to add a big feature to an application i am developping, but as this feature interest few people and is quite independant from the main part, I would like to put that in a seperate plugin application. Does anyone knows any design patterns, snippets, reference examples about such design? In particular: - that separate plugin application should be able to access some tables in the main application DB. Is it possible to do that without broadcast receiver? - the main application uses a TabActivity: is it possible that a the tabactivity instanciates an Intent Activity that is part of the plugin? - does the plugin can access main application preferences (not sure this would be necessary, but better to anticipate the question!) - is it possible from the plugin to access main applications ressources? At least the 2 first points are mandatory for me. Thanks for any help, Thierry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Adding separators to a ListView
Hi, I found something that highlights Kostya solution including a trick to avoir header to appear selected: http://thebogles.com/blog/2010/02/section-headers-for-android-listviews/ This seems straightforward to follow ... except that i can't get previous record. Unfortunately the isHeaderVisible(Cursor) method is not given :( I tried to use Cursor.moveToPrevious(), but that crashes on subsequent setViewValue call. I guessed I should not modify cursor within setViewValue() and try to restore cursor position before leaving the method, but that still crashes. Any clue? Thierry. 2010/11/15 Neilz neilhorn...@gmail.com Hi Mark. I've taken a look at this, and put together a quick sample based on your demo. It seems to me that you must have your list content already separated before adding them to the ListView. So, you add one Array, then you add a different View, then you add another Array. I can probably find a way to sort my data in this way, although I was hoping to add the view on the fly. My data is currently returned as one long List, and I don't know in advance where these separator views are going to go. I need to study the contents of my data as it's added to the View, and say Ah, here's some condition, add a separator view here. Does that make sense, and can this be done? Thanks.

Could you please share the way you grab the previous row from within setViewValue? :) 2010/11/15 Kostya Vasilyev kmans...@gmail.com Ok, so I had a cursor-based ListView laying around, and decided to try and practice what I preach :) Got it working in just a few minutes, actually. The second screenshot shows that there aren't any issues with trackpad based selection highlighting, at least on my Motorola Milestone. To prevent clickable headers, I set an empty click listener just on the view that shows group data (the blue one).

Hi Henridk, I have the same issue and I think that can not be solved with insert facility which is only for basic usage.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Change background after an Orientation change
I have the similar issue, the answer is interesting but i am wondering if i can avoid specifying an alternate landscape layout just for that in my case: indeed i don't want to have 2 different background pictures for horizontal/vertical layout but just to fit to screen with height/width ratio preserved and to crop what can not fit in the screen but default behaviour is to shrink without preserving aspect ratio.

Try searching for it in the docs and you will get an idea on what and how to do it. http://tech-droid.blogspot.com/2009/10/orientation-independent-applications.html Thanks and Regards, Kumar Bibek http://tech-droid.blogspot.com On Jun 9, 1:08 am, ChadS cspren...@osthoff.com wrote: I have an image set as my background and when it is vertical, the image looks fine.

[android-developers] Activity within TabActivity: onResume not always called when tab selected?
Hi, I have a TabActivity with 3 tabs: - tab A is created with a TabContentFactory, - tabs B C are created as Activity. When I switch from B to C, B activity is resumed (onResume called). But when i switch from A to B, onResume is NOT called. Unfortunately i need B to be aware that it has been selected. How can B activity knows that i has just been selected? Any clue?

[android-developers] Re: Activity within TabActivity: onResume not always called when tab selected?
Maybe I have found something:
From TabActivity, set a OnTabChangedListener,
then the listener is called:
String tabTag = getTabHost().getCurrentTabTag();
if tabTag.isEqual(TAB_B) {
MyBActivity bActivity = (MyBActivity
)getLocalActivityManager().getActivity(tabTag);
bActivity-refreshFromDB(); //
}
I will try that.

[android-developers] Re: Activity within TabActivity: onResume not always called when tab selected?
It works. The exact code is:
public void onTabChanged(String tabId) {
if(TAG_B.equals(tabId)) {
MyBActivity bActivity = (MyBActivity
)getLocalActivityManager().getActivity(tabId);
bActivity.refreshFromDB();
}
}
However it is a bit strange that onResume is not called. It would be a much
nicer solution.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How can i vertically align items in RelativeLayout?
Hi Kumar, Thanks for your help. Indeed no, they are not below one another but on an horizontal line like this: | ImaveView |[TextView][EditText] | ImaveView | | ImaveView | And basically i want to do this: | ImaveView | | ImaveView |[TextView][EditText] | ImaveView | (there is only one ImaveView!) Thierry. 2010/6/10 Kumar Bibek coomar@gmail.com If you want the views to be below one another, you should be using android:layout_below and not android:layout_toRightOf. To align them, use android:layout_alignLeft, or alignRight etc. Thanks and Regards, Kumar Bibek http://tech-droid.blogspot.com On Jun 10, 3:00 am, Thierry Legras tleg...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, As i am facing limitation of layout depth in my application, i am replacing some LinearLayout with RelativeLayout.

Re: [android-developers] StackOverflowError in UI redraw
Ok, i give up, I tried everything i could to reduce layers, but i am only as few as 5 so far :(( Seems to me impossible to do less, see screenshot showing my current layout herehttp://7121106850168047486-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/freeboxrecorder/project-updates/version160/fbr-1.6.0-programmer.png?attachauth=ANoY7cp6uSqcBGdi7yv_N_LjNb8PoaAwQRo2RcTVa1t0fYhweE6OgZ4so6QJobafkJTg44PSz_en4RyW8vmvQ9rQF9e-yDEk5rTm4l1TfJ8FHZRna3u3Ar3A4BGXrzkn1afW0fol1xHV4gLyjZNAS4znA3zzTq6ewGYdQ0e5ul1BwYoZzMPFwtLi0rzF5h36gOnu8wXR9tnREkqvb9MowwxuCNU3qiY3t-6vpDHVky5WzfKgLk2VahKacMqe8OSW00NEz-Q9o-Bsattredirects=0 With 5 layers, my application crashes randomly apparently when i try to add a background on top level layout. Even if i remove this background, i am not sure it will not crash because of something else. I saw for instance that getTabHost().setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK) that i just tried in TabActivity also engenders crashes. My conclusion is that TabHost with activities-in-tabs is just too limited and seeing this unpredictable behaviour i think we can consider this as a bug. The only valid long term solution for me is to change all my application to views-in-tabs approach thought i will require me a lot of rework. This huge limitation should be clearly stated in the documentation and ApiDemos sample because it is something that really should be taken into account before developping an application. Thanks everybody who tried to help me on this subject.

It means that stack space is exhausted. How can i fix this? Your UI probably has too many layers in its hierarchy. Run the hierarchyviewer program and examine the chart showing your ViewGroups and what they all contain. Try to eliminate some layers (e.g., replace nested LinearLayouts with a single RelativeLayout, get rid of activities-in-tabs and switch to views-in-tabs). And finally how can i be sure the issue will be definitevly fixed??

Re: RE : Re: [android-developers] starting an application with Android 1.5
I see now, the method i would like to use in 1.5 is setPackage not
setComponent; sorry for the misunderstanding.
I don't want to use setComponent because i don't know the classname to use
(and i don't want to hardcode it as i guess it might change as it is an
external application). And setPackage is only available since API level 4 :(
I have used your Launchalot exemples to dynamically retrieve the classname.
Here is what i did that seems to work:
String packageName = com.foo.blabla;
Intent mainApps = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
mainApps.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
ListResolveInfo activities =
act.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(mainApps, 0);
IteratorResolveInfo it = activities.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
ResolveInfo info = it.next();
ActivityInfo activity=info.activityInfo;
if (activity.packageName.equalsIgnoreCase(packageName )) {
Intent intent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED);
ComponentName name = new
ComponentName(activity.packageName, activity.name);
intent.setComponent(name);
act.startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
}
// handle not found case
Any shorter and faster way (and compatible with 1.5) to do it is welcome :)

There is no concept in Android of start an application. There is

Ok, there is Intent.setComponent solution would be what i need ... if it
was compatible with 1
Not to mention the fact that this will not work by itself.
BTW, setComponent() most certainly works with Android 1.5, since that
method existed since API Level 1 (a.k.a., Android 1.0).
I guess i have to play with getPackageManager() but how can i use it?

i.setComponent(name);

Re: [android-developers] Re: SQLite concurrent access best practices
Thank you both for your answers.
Are you sure using synchronized is enough inside the insert or update? I
also got exceptions in call to getReadableDatabase while another thread was
being writing so i don't think it would work. I am already using transaction
for DB write but it did not seem to make any changes.
The way i do each time i need to read/write/update DB is something like
that:
OnRead() {
db = new myDBHelperClass();
db.getReadableDatabase
db.query(...)
db.close()
}
OnWrite() {
db = new myDBHelperClass();
db.getWriteableDatabase
db.beginTransaction
db.insert(...)
db.endTransaction
}
I was rather thinking of using a synchronized in OnRead and OnWrite, but has
such methods exists in differents Activities and Task, i am pretty reluctant
to do that.
I also so design were DB is open in Activity onCreate and closed in
onDestroy, but i guess i will not work when a task also needs write in the
DB while the DB is open by the activity.
2010/5/9 Evgeny V evgen...@gmail.com
I believe you can provide the safe concurrency managment by using DB
transactions. Since you don't care about sequence between separate
activities you can run following snippet:
try
db.BeginTransaction
db.RunCommand(insert or update etc.)
db.CommitTransaction
catch
db.RollbackTransaction

Re: [android-developers] is charset decoding terminal dependant?? (UTF8/iso-8859-1 question)
Hi, After having banged my heads for weeks, i found the problems: The issue was not device dependant, but network access dependant. For some reason the pages encoding when accessed using my mobile operator access are changed to UTF-8, as showed in the ContentType HTTP header (ContentType: text/html; Charset=UTF-8) whereas the HTTP content still specifies ISO-8859-1 in meta tag. So the final solution is to : 1) grab encoding in the HTTP ContentType header if any 2) if so set the feature http://cyberneko.org/html/features/scanner/ignore-specified-charset to false 3) in the XMLInputSource constructor, pass ISO-8859-1 by default or the charset found in ContentType header if any 4) in the filter characters function, no decoding/encoding/getByte or whatsoever charset change is further required; XMLString.toString() will directly gives correct :) Hope this will oneday help another charset-newbie ;) Thierry. 2010/2/13 Thierry Legras tleg...@gmail.com Thanks for your reply. yes this is a java.lang.String. Indeed all i want to do is to correctly display the string in some View. Ok i got the point about java String being 16 bits. If so, and as it is not well displayed, i guess this means it was not properly created at first. Maybe this issue is more related to my (bad) use of xerces when i initialize the xerces XMLDocumentFilter object. XMLParserConfiguration parser = new HTMLConfiguration(); parser.setDocumentHandler(filter); // filter is a XMLDocumentFilter XMLInputSource source = new XMLInputSource(null, null, null,myHttpResponse.getEntity().getContent(), iso-8859-1); parser.parse(source); I will check more in detail in xerces ressources, this probably is not an Android related topic after all. Thierry. 2010/2/13 Frank Weiss fewe...@gmail.com First, some clarifications. Locale has nothing to do with character encoding. Java stores all character data internally as 16-bit Unicode, regardless of locale. I suspect that myString.getBytes(iso-8859-1) is erroneous. I'm assuming that myString is of type java.lang.String. What are you doing with the result and why do you want to encode a sequence of Unicode characters back to ISO-8859-1 (Latin1)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] How to prevent animation when starting new task?
Hi, I have the same issue as you but did not find any solution either :( . In my case i use a TabHost where each tab has its own activity and at some point i need to switch to another tab from one tab activity. As it is not possible to do that from a tab activity, the best way i found is to restart a new instance of the tabactivity and to finish the current one (ugly i know...). I specified the NO_ANIMATION flag as well with no success, i still have a animation. Thierry. 2010/3/5 greenrobot kont...@greenrobot.de We are currently looking into methods how to implement tabs. TabHost has serious limitations and is no option. Instead, we are experimenting with our own tab solution, which has its own task (activity stack) for each tab. It's working well except that there's transition animation performed by the system when launching a new task the first time. The NO_ANIMATION parameter passed to startActivity has no effect in this case. The animation breaks the app visually - is there a way to prevent it?

[android-developers] is charset decoding terminal dependant?? (UTF8/iso-8859-1 question)
Hello, I'm having troubles to correctly display strings with é è ... characters extracted from an html page (iso-8859-1). I am reading the html page as iso-8859-1 (using xerces XMLInputSource(null, null, null, myHTTPRequestContent, iso-8859-1), searching and extracting some specific strings with a nekohtml sax filter, then display the result in some view with something like: myString.getBytes(iso-8859-1) This is working pretty good on some devices, but in some other, like all my AVD, the french é è etc. characters are incorrectly displayed. More strangely, it is working on my HTC Hero, but not on my wife's own HTC Hero (not bought at same place). I tried to change the locale to french on the AVD but it did not changed anything. On these devices, it seems that using directly myString ( or myString.getBytes(UTF8) ) is correct. I see other applications that seems to handle this issue by providing an option force UTF8, but i would prefer definitly a generic one! Any clue? -- Thierry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Help needed with parsing some XML data !
Hi, I have a similar problem. I am parsing iso-8859-1 html page with a sax parser but having trouble to display it on _some_ devices (characters é è ... are replaced by random symbols). On some devide i have to use myString.getBytes(iso-8859-1) to display it correctly, and on some other devices, myString will be displayed correctly. The best solution i cold ifnd so far is to provide a user option like force utf8 or force iso-8859-1 that the user can check if having problem. Thierry. 2010/2/4 MobDev developm...@mobilaria.com Well, to be honest your first idea was also mine :P So I already looked via Google but to be honest I haven't found that many clear discussions/ explanations... I also tried idea 2 and this is what I got : Congratulations The document located at http://x was successfully checked as well-formed XML. This means that we were not able to determine the exact document type, but that the document passed the XML well- formedness syntax check. If you wish to wish to perform formal validation of the document, you can use the Document Type: option of the validator. But also this has been found, even though I do not know how important this is : The DOCTYPE Declaration was not recognized or is missing. This probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax, or that your XML document is not using a DOCTYPE Declaration. Validation of the document has been skipped, and a simple check of the well-formedness of the XML syntax has been performed instead. Als, just to point out, at this point i CAN read out the XML stream by using the Xml.parse(is, Xml.Encoding.ISO_8859_1, new ExampleHandler(myAdapter)); method... The only problem that remains is when I try to write on-screen the values... Btw, is there a way to trasform such a String (for example from a Country ID=2 CName=Åland eilanden/ tag) to utf-8 ?

Spinner on a layout from which another Activity can be launched?

Hi all,
I have a spinner in a dialog. Calling spinner.setSelection(int)
correctly sets the spinner just after opening the app. If I reopen
the
dialog after making another spinner.setSelection(int) call, the
spinner shows the first item regardless of the selection being set,
BUT...
clicking on the spinner shows that the correct value is selected in
the list of options (green dot next to the item). Weird huh?
Sometimes
when this happens, the spinner is cutting off parts of the text. Has
anyone else seen this happen?
Since the last guy got no response, I'll give as much detail as I
can... this is driving me nuts.
I built a class to help me build a Spinner in a consistent manner to
display a list of categories. After the objects are initialized, my
Activity calls a method initCatSpinner which builds the ArrayAdapter
and finishes initializing my Spinner.
Called from onCreate and onActivityResult:
mCategorySpinner = mCatSpinHelper.initCatSpinner(mCategoryId,
catcursor);
public Spinner initCatSpinner(long initial_category, Cursor
all_categories) {
LinkedListCategorySpinnerItem categories = new
LinkedListCategorySpinnerItem();
// Code to build this linked list from all_Categories is here,
removed for brevity
// Code adds an All item to the top, builds a list of
categories
using catcursor, then adds a Edit Categories option to the end of
the list
if(initial_category == ID_ALL) {
mLastCategoryPosition=0;
}
// Build the spinner adapter and set up the Spinner
ArrayAdapterCategorySpinnerItem spinadapter = new
ArrayAdapterCategorySpinnerItem(mCtx,
android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
android.R.id.text1,
categories);
spinadapter.setDropDownViewResource
(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
mCatSpinner.setAdapter(spinadapter);
mCatSpinner.setSelection(mLastCategoryPosition);
mCatSpinner.setPrompt(mCtx.getResources().getString
(R.string.choose_category));
return mCatSpinner;
}
This works fine on two different activities when they are launched.
One activity launches to show a list of all items in the category
chosen by this spinner. From there I can launch another activity in a
dialog to change the category of a selected item, and when I do this
and return to the original activity I get the above symptoms. I still
see a list of the items in the proper category, if I open the spinner
the category that was originally selected is still selected, but the
spinner item that's displayed on the widget itself is always the first
one in the list! It also happens if I switch to another Activity then
come back to this one.
I've checked with Log output and mLastCategoryPosition IS being set
correctly, so the setSelection call is passing the right data. I even
tried calling SystemClock.sleep for a few hundred milliseconds
thinking it might be a race condition, with no change. What's going on
here? I'm using the 1.5r2 SDK.

correctly updated in the list subframe, but not in the text displayed when
the spinner is closed
Anbody knows a workarround?

[android-developers] ContextMenu on TableLayout: how to get selected item position?
Hi, ContextMenu seems quite handy as long as we are using an AdapterView as we can easily get selected item position in onContextItemSelected from AdapterContextMenuInfo.position Any idea how we can achieve something similar in a TableLayout? In my TableLayout, i have some TableRow and i would like to get the row index in the onContextItemSelected callback like i would do with a simple ListView. I guess i will have to register the contextmenu for each row? but how can tie the row index with the menu? i see no way to do it with registerForContextMenu.

Re: [android-developers] Re: applying style to textview
Thanks for your answer indeed i was a bit imprecise; in the xml way only setting the background color does not work. i tried also to use this way item name=android:colorBackground@color/myblue/item item name=android:windowBackground@color/myblue/item like mentionned in your link with no luck. whereas in the java code this works fine: mytextview.setBackgroundColor(myBackgroundColor); For the programmatical way to apply style to view, indeed i realized my style is completly ignored. it seems that line is not right: TextView nametv = new TextView(this,null,R.style.ListName); the 3rd parameter is ignored. So, so far i am stick both to use default background color (or to change everything from code), and to set my text settings programmatically whereever i have to create new textview in the code :( Thierry.
