[android-developers] Authorization Idea
Hello all, I would like to apply authorization on my Android application. Once the user logs in I would like to be able to hide or display the actions/activities according to user's role. For instance; If the user in standard role I do not want to let her to start some activities(also hide the activities). Whereas, if the user is in admin role I do want to let her to start some activities that she is authorized to. In addition to separate activity based authorization, I would like to apply UI changes on the same activity according to the user's role. For example; if the user in standard role, she cannot see Reports button on the activity, but if the user in admin role, she can see the Reports button. I can do this via attaching code inside the real code but I want to separate the concept of authorization from the real code. Is there any attribute for methods or activities in Android that let me define authorization on method and activity level. Any help/example would be appreciated, Regards, jojo --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Dear all, I installed the brand new Windows 7 RC Ultimate and tried to run Android tools on it. Unfortunately, tools(aapt, emulator ...) do not work on the new OS. aapt.exe give Error; Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: aapt.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp:49ee9d70 Fault Module Name:ntdll.dll Fault Module Version: 6.1.7100.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 49eeb132 Exception Code: c008 Exception Offset: 00039fef OS Version: 6.1.7100.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID:1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 emulator.exe gives Error; Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: emulator.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp:49ee9cd3 Fault Module Name:msvcrt.dll Fault Module Version: 7.0.7100.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 49eeb128 Exception Code: 8003 Exception Offset: 0006d73c OS Version: 6.1.7100.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID:1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 I just sent this post to inform users that Android tools are not working on Windows 7 RC right now.

[android-developers] Netbook with Android
Hello all, I am an Android developer and I am going to buy a new netbook for seamless portability. Once I read it is possible to install Android on netbooks as an OS, my eyes started to shine. Therefore, I would like to be able to test my or third party applications on this netbook in the future. Which netbook brand/model will be the best suited(no driver headaches- sdcard, camera...) for upcoming Android OS for netbooks? I am reading a lot of rumors on the net, but I cannot find a baseline. Any idea will be appreciated... Regards, info+farm --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: PendingIntent problem
Thank you for your detailed answer Blake B.,
First of all I understood that different Extras are not act as a
difference on PendingIntent comparison.
In the first option assigning a stub data element seems reasonable but
I did not like the approach to put not only irrelevant but also not
necessary data on each intent call to distinguish them.
With the second approach, assigning FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT flag to the
PendingIntent worked well on button calls but did not work on
notification calls. I received Sending contentIntent failed:
android.app.PendingIntent$CanceledException error in logcat on each
different PendingIntent start. I have seen a bug report is made about
this issue(#13) on android-astrid.
In the issue, it is said that although the javadoc says requestCode is
not used, the real OS code consider the value specified there. Then, I
used the requestCodes to distinguish the PendingIntent starts.
Is it possible to get information from the API builders, what will be
the purpose of the requestCode parameter on PendingIntent creation in
the future? The reason is I want to be able to sure that my code won't
stuck at that time of API change.

To correct my previous statement, PendingIntents are cached by the
system, not Intents. The note about how to differentiate Intents
still holds though, so if you need to replace a current PendingIntent
with a new PI that has a new Intent that only differs by its Extras,
be sure to use the flag FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT so that the cached PI is
not used.
From Intent.filterEquals(o):
Returns true if action, data, type, class, and categories are the
same. == note does not include Extras
From PendingIntents javadoc:
* pA PendingIntent itself is simply a reference to a token
maintained by
* the system describing the original data used to retrieve it. This
means
* that, even if its owning application's process is killed, the
* PendingIntent itself will remain usable from other processes that
* have been given it. If the creating application later re-retrieves
the
* same kind of PendingIntent (same operation, same Intent action,
data,
* categories, and components, and same flags), it will receive a
PendingIntent
* representing the same token if that is still valid, and can thus
call
* {...@link #cancel} to remove it.

Intents are cached by the system, and two Intents are not
differentiated by their Extras. So your two intents look like the
same Intent and the second one is being tossed out. You must differ
Intents by their Action/Data/Category. I will sometimes use the Data
field to hold a simple ID that is not really a URI to make two intents
appear different. Look at the code for Intent.equals() I believe, and
you will see that Extras are not considered.

Hello all,
I have more than one notification in notifications area and each of
them has the same intent with different extras in it. Once I start() a
pending intent from the notifications, first intent is handled
correctly and the extras received successfully on the next(called)
activity. Nonetheless, if I go with the other notifications with
different extras, activity is resuming but rather than containing my
new extras it still has the first(old) values.
I played with the flags on intent but as far as I see notification is
always calling the intent with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag set. If I
do the same coding with Intent(rather than PendingIntent) everything
goes well.
Here is the code that I tried;
PendingIntent contentIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
new
Intent(Weather.GET_WEATHER_ACTION).
putExtra(package.prefix.tmp,
1).setFlags
(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK), 0);
try {
contentIntent.send();
} catch (CanceledException e) {

try {

1 is received in first call but in the second call 1 is received again
rather than 2.
I think I am missing something on the life cycle of the PendingIntent,
