[android-developers] My Country Is Not Available
Dear Developers Please assist with my frustration and perhaps ignorance in this Google+ / Google Play et al. I live on Norfolk Island. We are in the South Pacific, and sit between New Zealand and Australia. We are in fact, an external territory of Australia. There are many apps that I would like to download and install on my Android, but get the message "The App is Not Available in Your Country". I have paid much $$$ in phone calls to Google in hope of finding someone who can actually help me, and resolve this problem. I have even contacted the Developers of such programs, and have been stunned at their ability to assist me. I am writing to ask you to please, include Norfolk Island in your database for ALL apps, games, books etc etc, whereby all of us here who use an Android can actually join the rest of the world, and be able to access and download. I hope you are able to assist me with this, I understand it may take some time, but if I continue sending messages and emails, maybe one day, someone might actually take the time to add my country. Thank you for your time in reading this, and hopefully resolving this major issue.

[android-developers] Adding a ViewGroup to RelativeLayout
I want a RelativeLayout that's composed of two parts: The bottom portion is
an xml TableLayout file, and the top portion, which i plan to do later,
will be a separate custom view.
So far i tried to add the TableLayout to the RelativeLayout and am already
getting an error.
public class mainActivity extends Activity{
RelativeLayout relativeLayout;
TableLayout tableLayoutl;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
relativeLayout=new RelativeLayout(this);
ViewGroup vg= (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.layout.myTableLayout);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
relativeLayout.addView(vg,relativeParams);
setContentView(relativeLayout);
}
}
I feel like there is a much easier way to do this, any help?

EDIT: there is nothing wrong with the imports and/or typing mistakes, etc.
I basically want to know if this is a good approach for dividing a
RelativeLayout, and if i making any general logical errors above when i am
adding views to RelativeLayout.

Okay, thanks. but by automatic, i meant that the view should scroll downward without user interaction; at a pace that i can set up.

There are a bunch of different ways to transcode, the path you choose

[android-developers] Re: How many projects are being canned because of Market TCs
The http://www.android.com/market/terms/developer-content-policy.html states: Developers should only charge for applications and downloads from Android Market through the Market's Payment Processor. Developers may offer free applications as access points to paid services for which customers have registered and provided payment information. This should not be used as an alternative means to the Android Market Payment Processor to collect payment for usage of applications. This is on my company's roadmap, so I'm curious how you came to the conclusion that this is not allowed. You'll just have to find a different payment processor to do your paid services, and it shouldn't be hard to find one that will do subscriptions. You just need to be careful about separating the payment between the services and the android application. Such that if you offer the android app for free - you can never charge for the android app, only the data services it consumes.

We considered the app-per-subscription period approach but that would mean that Google would have a claim to 30% of all subscription fees and because the subscription fees were planned to be less than $10 per billing period Google would also have the right to refund a users subscription fee at any time without consulting us.

[android-developers] Re: discover intents that an app supports
The swamp you are describing is very similar to what has happened with Microsoft's COM architecture. Once a COM interface is out there, other developers start using it, whether you want them to or not. In Android, to make it easier to let developers communicate how to use intents you could add a url to document how to use the Intent to the intent-filter. This could enhance the ad-hoc discoverability interface you are asking for. In time, you might have an apk you want to utilize, but not know where to locate the documentation, but if the developer embeded the link to the documentation in the apk things get much easier. Further, a discovery tool could give the link to the developer, and if the documentation used some well known grammar your development tools could generate a code snippet showing usage for each Intent. That could be pretty powerful and help to decrease development time. It could look something like usage-url below: ... intent-filter action android:name=... usage-url android:name=http://mydomain.com/android-api/appname/ intent-name You could then either add to the PackageManager the ability to list out the intent-filters and usage-urls that go along with it, or build a separate tool which would go through the apk's and examine the AndroidManifest.xml to list the intent-filters and their usage-urls. The tool and could then be included in the IDE of your choice to generate the snippet code. On Feb 2, 6:30 am, jarkman jark...@gmail.com wrote: I see where you are coming from, but I think what may really happen is that the usage of intents between apps will turn into a terrible swamp. You can see it happening already, with developers using logcat output and guessing and finding snippets in other deveelopers blogs and reading source (where they can) to work out how to make some other app do their bidding. The lack of documentation clearly doesn't stop that process, it just makes it more laborious and untidy. The effect is that there is is no good distinction between 'private' and 'public' interfaces, since all intents are equally visible to these informal development processes, and so apps will come to depend on each other in undocumented and undisciplined ways. After that process has gone on for a year or two, we get a world where changing anything breaks something else, and the net effect on the user is that their apps are unreliable and they don't know whose fault it is. I really do hope that is not what happens, and I hope the platform finds some way to make the world of intents more transparent to developers. Just being able to see the intent filters of other apps would be a huge help. R.

At least, with a discovery API, we could find out what the things were in some reliable way. We'd also have a better chance of understanding why our intents failed when they did. Right now, I sometimes feel like I'm on a random hunt for a magic string. It is the single most frustrating thing about developing for Android. Do you think there's any chance one will appear in a future version ? Or, can you think of any way to acheive the effect in the current version ?

And Amazon MP3 app is owned by amazon, who just happened to have it installed on the G1. It is not part of the platform, and so they would need to document and maintain whatever intent protocols they want to publish. Finally, yes, we need to do a better job at defining official protocols for the system applications. This is something that got dropped in the push to get the initial full product out.

[android-developers] Re: Does Ant Sign Apps?
The build.xml created by activitycreator.py did not include signing
targets when I ran it. The release target creates the ${out-unsigned-
package} apk which is named ${ant.project.name}-unsigned.apk when I
run it.
Be sure to read: http://code.google.com/android/devel/sign-publish.html
First create a key. One way is to do this: keytool -genkey -validity
1 -keystore mykeystore -alias mykeystorealias
I usually copy the unsigned release file to ${ant.project-name}.apk
jarsigner -keystore mykeystore -verbose bin/${ant.project.name}.apk
mykeystorealias
and then verify it to make sure it worked
jarsigner -verify -verbose bin/${ant.project.name}.apk
There are probably ant tasks out there to automate the signing, but I
haven't used them yet.

ant release creates an unsigned Android package that I will have to
sign. I ran ant release then tried to use jarsigner using my private
key but I kept getting an error
jarsigner: unable to sign jar: java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid
entry compressed size
The dug inside the Android package and found out it already had a
cert.rsa file in the META-INF directory. I installed and ran the app
without every having to manually sign it.
Does ant automatically sign my apps? If so, where does it get the
private key and how do change it?

[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences problem
Interesting, I noticed this line in the documentation just now, from http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html Note: currently this class does not support use across multiple processes. This will be added later. So to me, this means that even though my application's activities run in one process, somehow the users experiencing this data loss problem may be seeing it because they have a separate process accessing the SharedPreferences before the first process has committed them to storage? This does not seem like the intended functionality of SharedPreferences. I'll buy that any changes before you call SharedPreferences.Editor.commit() won't be seen by other processes, but if process A commits, then process B loads them, shouldn't B see A's commited information? Or is the functionality to be added is what will make this scenario work correctly? For me, A and B are instances of the same application. If this scenario doesn't work: A commits, and then B loads but doesn't see A's changes until some undetermined time later, then I can't use SharedPreferences either. Also, neither can anyone else for that matter, because you'll never know if your information is in a usable state.

I guess I'll have to switch to a database implementation then. SharedPreferences don't seem very robust, I'm not sure I can ever use them again, which is really sad since they are quite easy to use.

[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences problem
I assume this is all I have to do to make sure the preferences are saved: SharedPreferences settings = MyActivity.this.getSharedPreferences (MyAppName, 0); SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit(); editor.putString(prefname, namevalue); editor.commit(); Then to load them like this: SharedPreferences settings = MyActivity.this.getSharedPreferences (MyAppName, 0); String value = settings.getString(prefname, defaultvalue); On my device, I never have seen a preference that was saved disappear. But two users out in the field say that after saving the information, about an hour later (or longer) the information disappears. The only way I see this happening as they describe is if the preferences are somehow erased. They say they are not uninstalling the app when this happens. I'm at a loss as to how to reproduce it, until I can get more information from them. I wrote a test app which just sets and gets preferences a number of times, but it never fails to get a previously set value. I don't know how to force the app to terminate and relaunch many times to see if that is the issue. Perhaps by creating one which responds to Intents to get/set the prefs? Is that a way to simulate this? On Nov 19, 2:50 pm, Dianne Hackbod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are you sure you call commit() after done with your edits? If you don't, then the changes won't be written to disk, and at whatever point your process is killed while in the background they will be lost. That is the only way I can think of off-hand to explain what you describe.

[android-developers] SharedPreferences are getting erased
I'm on RC30, and I have not seen this issue first hand, but some of my users are reporting that my app is losing its SharedPreferences after about an hour, or some other unspecified time. They say they are not uninstalling the application. The only way I have seen the SharedPreferences be erased is if I unistall the application Is this a known bug? Has anyone else encountered this problem? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
