[android-developers] Re: which is a true Android phone?
The G1s, as far as I know, got an Over-The-Air upgrade to v1.5 when it came out. The only thing that the older hardware precludes you from is testing your app on the newer hardware. The SDK is the same (unless somebody simply did not update their Android version on the phone).

[android-developers] Re: Animation Problem
I'm not sure about the coordinates thing, but if you are trying to use rotateAnimation to rotate something such that it looks like it is spinning in-place, then 0,0 are not the coordinates you want. The coordinates are a 'pivot point'; you could think of them as the 'middle' of the rotation. If you want an object to rotate or spin without moving up/down/left/ right, then what you actually want is: RotateAnimation spin = new RotateAnimation(0.0f, 360.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f); This gives the middle of the image as the 'pivot' so it doesn't move in an arc. Hope this helps! On Aug 11, 1:59 am, HVT vikramhiman...@gmail.com wrote: Hello All, I'm new to Android and trying to develop an app that has loads of animation. Its a small game.

[android-developers] Re: Can I use the picture of Dev Phone 1 in my app? (copyright question)
I was pointed to http://www.android.com/branding.html when I had questions about some different legal issues. I checked and there isn't anything there regarding the G1 hardware... I guess because T-Mobile or somebody else probably owns the hardware licensing? I doubt anybody is really going to get after you about using a 3D model skinned like a G1, but if you're really worried about it, maybe one of the T-mobile guys who read Android Developers will get back to you on it :) On Aug 11, 3:09 am, hzakimoto hzakim...@gmail.com wrote: Say, if I want the G1 (3D OpenGL model skinned like G1) to be the main character in my game.

[android-developers] Re: AirplaneMode notifications
Hi Mark, I'm pretty unfamiliar with detecting actual Airplane mode
settings, but I do have a potential work-around for you in case you
can't get it working the way you're trying to (which, by the way,
definitely seems like the -right- way to do it). I've been checking
for network connections using code like:
ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService
(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
if (cm.getNetworkInfo(cm.TYPE_MOBILE).isConnected()){
//stuff
}
else if(cm.getNetworkInfo(cm.TYPE_WIFI).isConnected()){
//different stuff
}
This seems to work fine in my case, but with the application I am
working on I actually care whether the user is connected over 3G/2G
or Wifi. In your case, you probably just want to get the airplane mode
detection working, but I thought I'd mention this in case you end up
stuck. Hope it helps!

[android-developers] Re: Changing background
I would recommend looking into using AsyncTask to do this (http://
developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html).
You can check against your mp.isPlaying() in the doInBackground
portion, use a sleep for some appropriate amount of time if it is
still playing (else finish the task), and in onProgressUpdate you can
change your color. You can use publishProgress(i); from your
doInBackground to pass the iterated color value to your
onProgressUpdate to achieve to same color switch functionality you
originally wanted.
AsyncTask takes a bit to learn, but you'll be glad to have it later!

It changes only at the end of the sound file. Can someone help me find

[android-developers] Re: Close Application
It really depends on the structure of your app, but one trick you might employ is to launch your various activities with startActivityForResult(intent, ID); and then override onActivityResult to watch for a return value from the activity you launched. You can then make decisions about whether you should call finish() in the original activity, or whether the user just wanted to go back to that original activity without closing the entire app. Again, without knowing the structure of your app or more details, I can't be sure that this is actually going to be helpful to you. If it isn't though, feel free to post some specifics! :) On Aug 10, 2:36 am, Blackmarket pascal.se...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, i want to add an exit button to the menu, but didn't see an easy way to close an application or acces all activities of an application and finish them.

After all was said and done, that last issue appeared to be a matter of RelativeLayout and RotateAnimation not playing as nicely together as I thought.

[android-developers] Re: Flipping / Rotating TextView (or layout) upside-down
Romain, the solution you gave me works perfectly for rotating the layout upside-down. Unfortunately, I now have another problem! After the layout has been rotated, the Views no longer respond to clicks and long clicks. Inside of the RelativeLayout I am rotating, I have a textView that I allow the user to edit when they perform a long press. Is there any way for me to still allow for this functionality, while presenting the textView upside-down? If not, I guess I can just add an additional right-side-up button to replace the onLongClickListener when in the upside-down view mode, but this strikes me as something that probably should work. I feel like I may be missing something simple again. Thanks in advance for any tips!
