[android-developers] Re: Add Media Files to Library in Froyo
It turns out when I added a file on /sdcard, they were not added. When I add using the /mnt/sdcard path it worked fine. Both paths seem valid (I guess one is a symlink) but only the /mnt/sdcard adds the file to my library right away. It appears you can get the right pathname using: Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

So, the amazonmp3 app does manage to get its downloads added to the

[android-developers] timeout on wakelock causes WakeLock under-locked error
Hi, I have a service that acts a download manager, downloading files in the background. I have aquired a partial wake lock while the downloads are going. When the downloads finish, I manually release the wakelock. Because I am paranoid, I acquired the wakelock also with a timeout. The problem I am seeing is that if I have already manually released my wakelock, when the timeout period expires an error is presented to the user (and adb logcat shows an under-locked wakelock exception). Is there any way to use a timeout (as backup wakelock release in case the app force closes for some reason) without getting this error?

[android-developers] Re: timeout on wakelock causes WakeLock under-locked error
Ya, I am checking isHeld() before I release it when I do it manually... But, apparently when you set a timeout, whatever part of android releases the wakelock does not check if it is held. That is my problem. If I manually release it before the timeout, when the timeout comes, I get an under-locked exception.

[android-developers] share images with twitter app and buzz app
So, I added the following intent to my app to share images captured. Intent i=new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND); i.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(sharedfilename),image/jpeg); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, Check out this picture from SquirrelCam); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,Taken with SquirrelCam for Android); i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(sharedfilename)); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, Share Image)); It works as expected when using the intent to launch gmail/picassa/ picsay/messenger but the image does not seem to attach it self when I choose the Buzz of Twitter app from the share menu that pops up. I.e. those two apps launch just with the text and not the image attached. Any idea what I am missing to have this intent launch buzz/twitter with the image attached? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Associate my app with file format
Thanks, Ya, I figured application/emx* would not match anything; but I was grasping at straws. The server side of things is not in my control. I have to deal with the .emx files being downloaded with empty mimetype - or give up the enterprise entirely. :/ Usining mimetype=applcation/* is the only thing so far that allows me to download these .emx files in the browser and then open them from the downloads screen. Why does the browsers' download screen not recognize the path based associations like the various file managers do? Is there a scheme I am missing for the browser? -Jack On Jun 5, 11:02 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: We generally don't do matching based on extension, but on MIME type. Ideally you want your server to reporting a proper MIME type for your file. Also, the MIME type matches only handles '*' for type and subtype -- that is, application/* or */*. Your 'application/emx*' will not match anything.

[android-developers] ACTION_VIEW sefaults is no application installed for mimetype
Hi All,
I have an app that downloads a pdf from a server and tries to open it
with an itent:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
File file = new File(filepath+filename);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), application/pdf);
try {
startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
final Exception ef = e;
txt2.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
txt2.setText( +ef);
}
});
}
Everything works great if any applications are installed on the device
that will open a pdf. But, if no apps are installed, this part of the
code just segfaults (my catching of the exception apparently does not
work).
Here is the logcat output
I/ActivityManager( 61): Starting activity: Intent
{ act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=file:///sdcard/arXiv/tmp.pdf
typ=application/pdf }
W/dalvikvm( 322): threadid=7: thread exiting with uncaught exception
(group=0x4001d800)
E/AndroidRuntime( 322): FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-9
E/AndroidRuntime( 322): java.lang.NullPointerException
E/AndroidRuntime( 322):at
com.commonsware.android.arXiv.singleitemwindow
$1.run(singleitemwindow.java:243)
W/ActivityManager( 61): Force finishing activity
com.commonsware.android.arXiv/.singleitemwindow
So, my question is can I somehow determine if any app is available for
application/pdf mimetype ahead of time. Or, can I prevent the code
from dying here and tell the user to install a pdf reader app?

Ooops. I figured this out. It was actually catching the problem fine
but crashing during my txt2 writing.

[android-developers] Re: WiFi data transfer stalls as soon as screen becomes blank
Hi, I have the exact same problem on a download manager app I am trying to write. My service aquires PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, but when the screen is blank wifi downloads still seem to come to a stand-still (on Nexus One). If I instead acquire a FULL_WAKE_LOCK (or SCREEN_DIM) all is fine. Obviously, these don't make any sense for a download- manager... Also, everything is fine with 3G downloads (they keep going in the background whether I have any wakelock or not). Did you ever figure this problem out? -Jack On Apr 15, 10:49 am, Thilo-Alexander Ginkel th...@ginkel.com wrote: Hello again, On Apr 11, 3:12 pm, Thilo-Alexander Ginkel th...@ginkel.com wrote: I am currently trying to figure out how to fix an annoying bug in Sipdroid [1], which seems to be triggered by a power management optimization in Android 2.1: While a SIP (VoIP) call is in progress via WiFi, the data transfer becomes unreliable (and basically stalls) as soon as the display goes blank after the display timeout or proximity sensor has been triggered. As soon as the display comes back (by hitting the power button or releasing the proximity sensor) the data transfer reverts back to normal. Currently, the only possible workaround seems to be to acquire a PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK for the duration of the call, which reliably prevents the issue from surfacing. Still, I think it would be beneficial to come up with a solution that allows the screen to become blank (if only for reducing battery consumption). In the meantime I thought about this issue and came to the conclusion that it may not be WiFi throttling, which is causing the trouble, but rather CPU scaling. In that case, my question would be what other apps, such as media players are doing to avoid being throttled by CPU scaling while the screen is turned off?

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer skips even though PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK is set
@Thilo-Alexander, I am having the exact same problem as you! I am developing a download manager for a particular site and have a service that aquired PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, but when the screen blanks (I press power) the download pauses. Downloads make no progress at all when the screen is off. If I do a FULL_WAKE_LOCK, I get the expected behavior (screen/ CPU are on full blast). Did you ever find a solution? -Jack On Apr 25, 1:23 pm, Thilo-Alexander Ginkel th...@ginkel.com wrote: On Apr 25, 9:59 pm, Thilo-Alexander Ginkel th...@ginkel.com wrote: The weird thing is, the problem goes away if I use SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK instead.

Seems as if HTC are applying some very aggressive power saving when the screen is turned off. Unfortunately, I do not yet have a solution (there must be one [most likely undocumented] as the native phone application is not affected).
