[android-developers] Android soundpool stop sequence of sounds

2011-02-24 Thread Traveler
I have developed an application that plays a sequence of 20 sounds
using soundpool. If I try to use a button or touch the screen during
the playback, I get a dialog "Sorry! Application is not responding." I
also get a Force close button and a wait button. Is there a way to use
the user interface to stop soundpool from playing? Any advice is
appreciated.

[android-developers] Re: Downloading an .apk update

2011-02-11 Thread Traveler
The following url explains how to install an .apk file from your SD
card. My daughter helps me test my projects, so she installs the .apk
to her Droid after I send it to her as an e-mail attachment.

[android-developers] Android activity forces close.

2011-02-03 Thread Traveler
I am working on a game app for my granddaughter. It has several
activities. I was working on the hangman game activity and decided to
add some animation. Afterward, I find the activity forces closed. I
have it defined in the androidmanifest.xml file. I even reverted to a
prior version of the activity that was working fine, but it still
forces close. Note the line that has the comment  "// Crashes here." I
have a breakpoint set at that line, but execution stops at this point.

Any advice is appreciated. Source code for game menu activity shown
below.

package com.AE.HollySpelling;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

public class GameMenu extends ListActivity  {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
String[] items={"Spelling test",
"Scramble",
"Hangman",
"Exit"};
Intent intent = getIntent();

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.games);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,
R.layout.listrow, R.id.label,
items));
Intent intent = getIntent();
}
@Override
public void onListItemClick(ListView parent, View v,
int position, long id) {

switch(position)
{
case 0:
intent = new Intent(v.getContext(),
VoiceManager.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
break;
case 2:
intent = new Intent(v.getContext(),
Hangman.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0); // Crashes 
here.
break;
case 3:
finish();
break;
}
}
}

This might be a start in the XML layout for EditText:

android:inputType="numberDecimal"

[android-developers] Re: Ho to take a screenshot of the current activity and email it to a specific email id

2010-09-11 Thread Traveler
If you are using Windows, this should work: The Print Screen key will
copy the screen image to the windows clipboard. Alt Print Screen will
copy the active window to the clipboard. You should be able to past
into an e-mail, or at least paste into an editor like Paint and save
it to a file for insertion into an e-mail.

[android-developers] Re: Why Android cannot play .avi but can play youtube (avi?) and flash?

2010-09-08 Thread Traveler
I'm not certain, but I think YouTube converts uploaded AVI files to
Flash, or some other format before putting them online.
