[android-developers] resubmit app to Play Store
My app was on Play Store and everything was working OK. I have several users that we are in contact with to provide support. apps were removed from the Play Store due to failure to accept the new Developer Distribution Agreement prior to the deadline. I am trying to resubmit the app without success. I need to get a Content Rating.(it is an industry specific app with no sex, drugs or violence.) I filled out the Content Rating form, clicked calculate rating, and apply rating. It says app could not be saved. refer to form for errors. But I really was not trying to resubmit (save) just apply content rating so I could return to Store Listing fill it out and then resubmit (save). I cannot find a save command on the Store Listing tab and it dumps my input whenever I go to the content rating tab. It seems I can only get one form filled out and both forms must be correct. This is very frustrating. Anybody experience the same confusion? Are there any resources that help me know what to do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: adt-bundle-windows download from developer.android.com
Update: The next day, Nov 16, I gave up on that computer and decided to install eclipes and adt on another machine. On that day there was a selection for downloading either a 32 or a 64 bit version. I got the 32 bit and the name of the file was adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip. I checked the file I downloaded the day before and the name was adt-bundle-windows.zip with not indication of what version. The adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip version did install and run correctly. So the problem is solved. (Or else I made a mistake yesterday and there was versioning and I was just error prone and did not see it. There is evidence that I have made a mistake before) Thanks, John Brown On Thursday, November 15, 2012 4:34:52 PM UTC-6, john brown wrote: Hello, I downloaded the Android Developer Tools (adt-bundle-windows.zip) from developer.android.com today.

[android-developers] two icons for the same app
I have an application that I install via the Eclipse IDE toolbar icon run package.name.app. My phone shows two icons for this app. (only one icon until recently) The icons look identical but the name is long and I cannot see the end of either icon labels. Even if I uninstall the app via Settings Applications Manage Applications, the next time I run it from Eclipse, the two icons are both there again. The app is only listed one time under Manage Applications. The first time I noticed the second icon was after I included a second activity that displays a WebView. Everything seems to work OK. I can launch the second activity and close it just fine. Why do I have two icons? (I did not include code because I do not know which code might be relevant.)

[android-developers] ProgressDialog call from AsyncTask thread
I have a process, getNextBook, that takes maybe 5 or 20 seconds,
depending on the size of the next book. It works OK but I need to
inform the user that I'm working, just wait so they will not tell
the App to do something else before the getNextBook process finishes.
(the code for something else is not included for the sake of
simplicity). I have included the display of a ProgressDialog so the
user can see when it is working and when it finishes. I have
experimented until I got it to work but there is something I do not
understand. The code is abbreviated for the sake of simplicity and it
does work even if I have created some error when I abbreviated.)
I utilize AsyncTask to make another thread so I will not block the
main thread. I want to call the ProgressDialog directly from the
AsyncTask getNextBook_T, but I cannot get it to work. Is there a way
to implement the ProgressDialog directly from getNextBook_T? Or is it
OK (or necessary) to do it indirectly like the code shows?

[android-developers] Re: ProgressDialog call from AsyncTask thread
Kostya, Back to your error message. What it means (in translation from Androidese) is that your code tries to create a UI component (ProgressDialog) from the worker thread. This violates the rule that you can only touch the UI from the UI thread. Bingo! That is what I was guessing all this means. With that bit of information, maybe I will can learn a little more. Now I know why the first code works and the second one does not.

In this specific documentation I got lost when it said: publishProgress(... setProgressPercent( showDialog(. AsyncTask is pretty simple. It has two sides: the worker thread and the UI thread. Your code that performs a lengthy operation on the worker thread can call publishProgress(), which is automatically dispatched to the UI thread and turned into onProgressUpdate(). This is needed because Android UI components can only be used from the UI thread, and AsyncTask's doInBackground() runs on a worker thread (which is AsyncTask's reason for existence). UI thread is defined here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/processes-and-... which also gives some simple rules to follow when dealing with threads on Android.

[android-developers] Market - download unsuccessful
Hello, I have published my app on Android Market. I have successfully downloaded and installed the app from Market on my Moto Droid 10 days ago. My beta tester #1 successfully downloaded and installed the app from Market on his Samsung Galaxy 8 days ago. My beta tester #2 gets download unsuccessful when she tries to dowload app from Market on her Motorola Droid X at 2010-10-28 4pm Central Std time USA (10pm GMT). She tried several times over a 30 minute period. When I uninstalled and tried to download my app during this same time period, it took longer than I expected, then finished and said Google Maps had successfully updated. No mention that my app did or did not install. My app is not installed on my phone now. Developer's Console shows no problem, 20 downloads, 4 active, no errors, no comments. (This app is industry specific and not workable without subscription to a website, etc.) Does Market work perfectly everytime? Does it have good times and bad times? If you think it may be my app that is the problem, what / where should I look for as the problem?

[android-developers] USB adb connection to Samsung Galaxy
Hello, This month, I am not able to get a ATT Samsung Galaxy Captivate to be recognized by my Win xp when I connect them with a USB cable. This is the same phone I had trouble connecting a few months back. With much help from this list, I was able to get them connected. (Win device mngr, red check mark, get ID, insert this ID in android_winusb.inf file and reinstall android sdk usb driver.) After the fix, communication was successfull for Aug and Sept (about 10 connections per monthduring a 5 day period). But this month the Win xp will not recognize the phone. The only thing that happens is that the device manager, usb, list is updated to include unknown device which has no ID's. I have talked to ATT and Samsung. One person said that there was an update Oct 5 and this bit of information got me introduced to Samsung tech suppor level 1 and then, after considerable talking, to level 2. Samsung level 2 said that I must have the specific USB cable that came in the box with the phone, I said that probably was not the problem because I have used this (motorola) cable successfully at least 20 times. Then all of a sudden I get a dial tone. So I drove the 20 miles, went into the owners home (while talking to him on his phone, he has mine to use beta testing) and got the cable. Results are the same with this Samsung cable. I am writting this long note becasue I have lots of time waiting for 50 minutes for level 2 support again. I am loosing hope that Samsung is going to be able to help me or possibly they recognize my phone # and know my problem is unresolovable. Does anybody have any light they can shed on this issue?

[android-developers] String.split(\t) results vary with source of string
Hello,
My understanding of String.split() and \t and \n seems to be
incomplete. (I come from a DOS, Win, and VB enviornment.) I am in the
habit of using Tab delimited 'records' in a text file where the
records are delimited by CRLF. VB uses constants like vbTab and vbCrLf
to refer to tabs and line feeds. And the Linux, Android enviornment
utilizes \t and \n for the same things.
The following code yields (I think) different responses depending on
the source of strResponse. If strResponse originates in my Android
Java code (as a paramater constructed in the code), the following code
works just fine. But if strResponse is parsed from html document
created by me using PHP on the server, then the two Log.d's produce
exactly the same thing, the record which contains several \t.
// Start Code *
String strRecords[] = strResponse.split(\n);
String strFields[];
Integer i;
for (i = 0; i strRecords.length; i++){
strFields = strRecords[i].split(\t);
Log.d(NQ109, TAG + in addTaps strRecords[i] = + strRecords[i]);
Log.d(NQ109, TAG + in addTaps strFields[0] = + strFields[0]);
}
// End Code *
I also tried to utilize |, the pipe symbol, chr(124), but that just
seems to split the record into an array of individual characters.
What is the error in my understanding of the split() method?
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
does not seem to go deep enough for me to figure it out.

[android-developers] Re: String.split(\t) results vary with source of string
Well, I thought I found the answer at a Java site. It said if you use
the | it must be \\'ed then it will work. It looked like a solution
but when I tried it I got the same results.
strFields = strRecords[i].split(\\|);
With the |'s, strRecords[i] looks like:
R|2251|1|15,008.05|250|Maple Street|Smith, John|1848|..
After
strFields = strRecords[i].split(\\|);
strFields[0] looks like:
R|2251|1|15,008.05|250|Maple Street|Smith, John|1848|..
and it should just be R.
I am confused.

I don't have an actual answer for you, but I ran into the same issue where I was trying to parse a server response string delimited by the pipe and it failed miserably, as you've seen. The asterisk * was also a problem if I recall correctly. I didn't investigate too thoroughly, but I think these (and probably others) might be special characters in the split logic for regex stuff, but that's just a guess. If you have control over the server, I'd say just use a different delimiter. If you don't, you can do what I did and first replace the offending character with something else you know will not exist in the string and split on that.

[android-developers] Service, AsyncTask, or both?
My application collects information entered by the user and stores it in a sqlite database. The information is observed and entered every few minutes. Each observation, or entry, becomes a record in a database table. Each record needs to be transmitted via httpClient to a server as soon as possible. The user, phone, may have intermittent service. Each record is stored in the database immediately with a isSent flag set to false. Next, I use AsyncTask to start a thread separate from the UI thread, and attempt to transmit all the records, one at a time, where isSent is false. If a record is successfully transmitted, isSent is set to true. If httpClient gets a timeout or page not found, I interperet that as no service and break out of the process. I have all this written and successfully beta tested. (with much help from this group. THANK YOU Android Developers Group.) I used a Service in my first attempt at the routine to transmitt the records. The documentation of Service indicated something about long processes working w/o user input. But I found when there was no internet connection, the routine took too long and I got a application not responding error because the wait was in the UI thread. I reprogrammed it utilizing AsyncTask to start a seperate thread for the transmitt process and this seems to work w/o error. During my reprogramming, I was confused on how to utilize both a service and a AsyncTask, so I just did it without utilizing a Service. Was my decision to drop the Service a good choice? Or am I missing something useful offered by Service that would benifit this situation?

[android-developers] Re: How can i access the /data/data/my_project_name/files/my_file.txt on a real android device
Linda, I am new to Android. I had my app on a Microsoft phone and used .txt files for data storage. It seemed like a good idea on the Microsoft smartphone and it worked. I did the same with my app on the Android and found that unexpected things happen with text files on the Android. Things like the path to the sdcard changed with versions and also with different devices, i.e. ATT androids have two sdcards and there are little complications. I am not saying that Android cannot handle txt files. My thinking is that on Android data storage is designed to work with sqlite database. (I like the Android development environment much better than Microsoft!) I converted my data storage to utilize sqlite database. My impression is that everything works smoother (with my app) when I use sqlite database. I can make it work with .txt files but it seems like that is like paddling upstream. And paddling downstream is better.

My beta tester had trouble when he was out of service. His description
was it froze up.
When I test on the emulator, I unplug the network cable, and thus have
no connection. On the emulator, in the routine listed above, it seems
to work just fine although it takes a while before returning
UnknownHost. I say it works just fine because of what I can see in
the Log results.
It does however display the error Application MyApp (in process
mnt.android.myapp.MA103) is not responding. along with a Force Close
button and a Wait button. If I wait a moment and press the Wait
button, the app proceeds like it should.
What can I do to avoid the long wait (and error) when there is no
service?

[android-developers] Verizon Moto droid auto update to 2.2 yesterday
Hello, Yesterday my Verizon Motorola droid was automatically updated from Android 2.1 to 2.2. I was informed that it had been done via text message. I was not consulted or warned, only informed after the fact. It does not cause any problem in my app. I used the getSDcardPath (syntax approx) rather than hard-coding /sdcard/data. and I have not found any other conflicts. How are Android updates handled on devices? Always done automatically, this instance of auto update was unusual, or what? If it is always done automatically then we MUST incorporate all accommodations for future changes that are not backwards compatible just to keep our apps running on machines that they were designed to run on. (it is difficult to anticipate all future changes!) Previous to this automatic update, I was thinking that we should incorporate all accommodations for future changes that are not backwards compatible so the app would run on future Android versions. (this option does not require knowledge of the future.) Thanks, John Brown PS. I did opt to do the Adobe update yesterday. But that just seemed like a normal application update. No indication that it affected anything else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Verizon Moto droid auto update to 2.2 yesterday
Bret, Specific case: File myFile = android.os.Enviornment.getExternalStorageDirectory; String strPath = myFile.toString(); The code above is the work around for an expected update that changed the path to the external SDcard storage. This list and developer.android.com documentation gave warning that reference to the external storage should not be hard coded like /sdcard/Android/ data/... (2.2 path is something like /mtd/Android/data/...) and that the listed code should be used. I followed the advice and avoided any problems. I also am new to Android. The os, java, Eclipse, the toolkit, the documentation, and this list are all very good and have helped me a lot. But I was surprised that Verizon updated my os without warning or consent. They did notify me after the fact. I am just wondering if this is common or unusual. (Maybe I am just too cautious because of my previous experiences. I would consider it quite a calamity if Microsoft updated my XP's to Vistas.)

Dear Self, I found the problem. I had unintentionally and unknowingly changed the Manifest. Something was wrong with the: uses-permission android:name=android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE/ uses-permission line.

[android-developers] Re: ATT Samsung Captivate mExternalStorageAvailable == false;
Kostya,
What state does the code return? Perhaps logging the actual value would
be a good place to start.
Good idea. Unfortunately, I have limited access (time) to that phone
since it is in use as a in case of emergency call 123-4567 type
situation and that phone's owner must keep it with him at all times.
Also we are beta testing the app in actual usage and so he is having
to use my phone for that. So he has both phones and I have, for the
next few days, the emulator.
But that gives me time to step back and look at what I have done so
far. I am new to android. I need to figure out which if I am using any
processes that can be classified as fighting the system. I have had
problems with using flat text data files on the sdcard to store,
receive, delete, etc information. This information could be kept in a
database. The database seems like overkill to me but it might be that
data files on the sdcard are going to be headaches if I want to use
several different devices. Maybe the database would work smoothly from
device to device.
I think I will write a general description of my app, post it on this
helpful list, and ask for advice as to which architectures to use and
which to avoid.
Thank you Kostya. John Brown

[android-developers] Re: ATT Samsung Captivate mExternalStorageAvailable == false;
Stephen,
For theSamsungGalaxy phones, the internal flash memory is mounted at
/sdcard, and the external SD card is mounted at /sdcard/sd
Your comment explains why /sdcard/Android/data/lms/mp would fail
if I had indeed copied the files to /sdcard/sd/Android/data/lms/mp
But my memory is that
android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() returns /
sdcard
on BOTH the Moto droid and the Samsung Captivate.
Unfortunately, I have limited access (time) to that phone since it is
in use as a in case of emergency call 123-4567 type
situation. So I will have to wait to test this possible solution.

[android-developers] Re: ATT Samsung Captivate mExternalStorageAvailable == false;
I do appreciate the comments and suggestions. They give me new things
to try.
The good news it the app is working on the Samsung SGH-i897 now. The
bad news is I do not know why. Here is what happened:
1) I hard coded /sdcard/sd rather than getting the path
programatically. (I did not have much time.)
2) I got the same error, something like path not found
3) I went back into the code and removed the hard coded path.
4) I added a System.out.println(ext storage is + myPathVariable)
5) I ran it one more time just to check what the output path was
again.
6) It ran, no errors.
7) The output was ext storage is /sdcard/Android/data/lms/mp
That is the same path it printed when it got the error. A satisfactory
explanation would be that my memory is wrong or I did not type what I
thought I typed, but I cannot find the error.
I do not know why. But it is working. :)
I will test some more tomorrow.
I will stop using - Environment.getExternalStorageState()
I will try - Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory()
Right now I am thinking it has more to do with the phase of the moon
than with concrete facts. Like it does not work Friday through
Wednesday. But it does work on Thursday!
Again thanks for all the help. John Brown

The problem you are having is a good example of why this API,
Environment.getExternalStorageState(), is deprecated. As the online
reference says, This call should be deprecated as it doesn't support
multiple volumes.
But this is exactly the problem you encountered: the Galaxy S has TWO
volumes, which they happen to call '/sdcard' and /sdcard/sd' -- a
regrettable choice.
Even more regrettable is that the same reference that says should be
deprecated, still shows sample code that matches yours very closely.
Nor does it say what to use in place of the should be deprecated
API, though it seems to suggest using
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() might help.

[android-developers] Connecting to ATT Samsung Captivate Galaxy
Hello, Does anyone have experience connecting to a ATT Samsung Captivate Galaxy (Samsung SGH 1897). It runs Android 2.1. I have USB debugging connected and USB connected on the phone but I cannot get the desktop computer to recognize the sdcard via Windows Explorer or get the devices recognized with adb devices. I have successfully connected to my Motorola Droid. I was in the same situation with it yesterday but, thanks to this very helpful list, I am now in control of that device. (and my app runs on it!) Many thanks, John Brown (P.S. My beta tester insisted on the ATT phone because he already has his family plan working with ATT.

[android-developers] connected Motorola Droid not recognized by adb
Hello, I am trying to connect a Verizon Motorola Droid (Android 2.1) to my computer and Run my application on the device. I have followed the instructions on developer.android.com about how to install the USB driver and set up the device for development. Specifically, I installed the Usb driver from whithin Eclipse (galileo) using the Adnroid SDK and AVD Manager. (I checked adb at this time and no recognition.) Then I installed the driver in windows (XP) via Start Control Panel Add Hardware. The windows installation seemed to work because during or after the installation of the C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver some window came up and announced that the adb bla.. bla. was installed successfully. On the device I have enabled debugging via Settings Applications Development USB debugging is checked. I also bring down the tri fork thing and mount the sdcard. I can successfully copy files to and from the device sdcard. My application successfully runs on the ADV and I can access the ADV sdcard using adb push and adb shell. With the moto droid connected, mounted, etc, if I run the command prompt adb command adb devices the resulting list is empty. No devices recognized. With the ADV running and the moto droid connected, mounted, etc, if I run the command prompt adb command adb devices the resulting list shows only the emulator-5554 device. (this is the same thing it shows if the moto droid is not connected and only the ADV is running). If I Run from Ecipse with the device connected, debugging, and mounted, an instance of the ADV is launched and the program runs on the ADV, not the device. I cannot get anything to recognize that the device is connected. My conclusion is that the android debug bridge, adb, is not recognizing the device. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get adb to recognize and work with my device. Thanks to all persons for previous favors and advice. John Brown P.S. Verizion website has a fix for device not recognized that is called DriverBoost and will update all your USB driver to the official version. I did not like the sound of Verizon fixing all my drivers when I am only having trouble with Verizon's Moto droid but I downloaded it anyway. this is the actual quote: DriverBoost scans your PC and uniquely identifies each and every device driver. Then using a sophisticated matching algorithm every device driver on your PC is matched with the latest version of that driver on our proprietary database. New drivers are then quickly downloaded onto your computer. I went to install DriverBoost and it quickly informs me that the first thing it will do is install the latest version of Microsoft.net. I DROPPED IT LIKE A HOT POTATO. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: connected Motorola Droid not recognized by adb
Frank, Yes. (I cannot check right now. That computer is at the office.) But that sounds exactly like what I see on the droid. The debugging connected notification requires no action. The other one, USB connected, requires that I click it and then press button to mount it on my computer. Things seem to be working on the droid but the desktop computer, and adb in particular, does not know that the droid is attached.

[android-developers] on sdcard, File.canRead() = true, File.canWrite() = false
Hello,
Documentation source
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html
Every Android-compatible device supports a shared external storage
that you can use to save files. This can be a removable storage media
(such as an SD card) or an internal (non-removable) storage. Files
saved to the external storage are world-readable and can be modified
by the user when they enable USB mass storage to transfer files on a
computer.
PROBLEM: I cannot write to a file on the sdcard.
QUESTION: Is it possible to write to a file on the sdcard?
If YES, what do I need to do to make File.canWrite = true?
I am using Android 2.1 update 1, API level 7, Eclipse, and HVGA skin.
I am running my app / troubleshooting on the Android SDK ADV.
When the AVD is running, I check settings sdcard total 49.21MB,
available 49.07MB.
Environment.getExternalStorageState() yields MEDIA_MOUNTED
getExternalStorageDirectory() to establish the sdcard root directory.
I copied the files to the sdcard with adb push source destination
I am able to successfully read other files in that directory.
psudo code:
// __
File fFile = new File(pathFile);
if (fFile.exists()){ ... // returns true
if (fFile.canRead()){ ... // returns true
if (fFile.canWrite()){ ... // returns false
try{
FileWriter Fw = new FileWriter(fFile, true);
BufferedWriter Bw = new BufferedWriter(Fw);
PrintWriter outPw = new PrintWriter(Bw, true);
outPw.println(strRec);
outPw.close();
}
catch(IOException ex){
System.out.println(IO Error - + ex.toString());
System.exit(0);
}
//
System.out shows:
IO Error - java.io.FileNotFoundException
but we know the file is there from the preceding checks:
if (fFile.exists()){ ... // returns true
if (fFile.canRead()){ ... // returns true
What do I need to do to make the file writable?
Or
I want to write to the file. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, John Brown

Why not just use theAlertDialogthe way it is meant to be used? Even

What do you need to do that you think you can't accomplish using it

[android-developers] AlertDialog changes sequence of events
Hello,
The following code runs as I expect it to.: (cntr is an int with the
whole class as it's scope)
System.out.println(before saveReading, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
saveReading(Integer.parseInt(etRead.getText().toString()));
System.out.println(after saveReading, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
public void saveReading(int reading){
System.out.println(In saveReading before ++, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
++cntr;
System.out.println(In saveReading, after ++, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
}
after the code runs, LogCat shows the following System.out:
System.out before saveReading, cntr = 0
System.out In saveReading before ++, cntr = 0
System.out In saveReading, after ++, cntr = 1
System.out after saveReading, cntr = 1
This (above) is the sequence of System.out events that I am expecting.
//
If I change the code to include a AlertDialog Yes/No for confirmation
of the ++cntr, the code looks like this:
System.out.println(before saveReading, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
saveReading(Integer.parseInt(etRead.getText().toString()));
System.out.println(after saveReading, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
public void saveReading(int reading){
System.out.println(In saveReading before ++, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
AlertDialog.Builder bldr = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
bldr.setTitle(Confirmation Required) ;
bldr.setMessage(Save this reading?);
bldr.setPositiveButton(R.string.YesButton, new
DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
//@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
///code for YES (increment cntr)
++cntr;
}
});
bldr.setNegativeButton(R.string.NoButton , new
DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
//@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// code for NO (do nothing, cntr remains the same)
System.out.println(no!!!);
}
});
bldr.show();
System.out.println(In saveReading, after ++, cntr = +
Integer.toString(cntr));
}
When I run the code, the AlertDialog Yes/No routine looks like I want
it to look but the following LogCat output shows that the sequence of
events is not what I was expecting. It looks like all the code in the
code block containing the call for saveReading, including saveReading,
runs and then the code in saveReading runs.
after the code runs, LogCat shows the following System.out:
System.out before saveReading, cntr = 0
System.out after saveReading, cntr = 0
System.out In saveReading before ++, cntr = 0
System.out In saveReading, after ++, cntr = 1
What can I do to make the code with the yes/no confirmation run in the
sequence I am expecting, i.e. like the first LogCat output?
Thank you very much for your help. John Brown

AlertDialog is not modal - the call to show() returns immediately, leaving
the dialog on the screen and button callbacks active.
This is the reason for the sequence change you're seeing.

[android-developers] Confirmation routine
Hello, What is the recommended best practice for a confirm routine? A toast object is something like a visual basic MsgBox() routine but I have not found any variations for a toast that returns a yes or no. An example might be: * you have entered a bid amount of $0.01. Select YES to permanently place the bid or NO to discard this entry YES NO ** I searched for confirm and found that the notepad example does have a confirm button. I did the exercise and found that this particular confirm button does not exactly match what I am wanting. I did learn a way of using an intent to create a confirm routine but I thought there might be another (shorter) method that I have missed. Thanks for your help.

[android-developers] Re: AIDL, Binder, ResultReceiver, and Performance
While reading this thread, I mistakenly clicked report as spam. I immediately hoped for a confirmation dialog but none appeared. I only got the notice that it had indeed been reported as spam. It was done in error. I apologize for my error.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm using it for. I'm kicking off a heavy background sync, and use an optional ResultReceiver to pass back success/failure along with any Exception text for Toast'ing to the user. Not my team's app... I've not looked at the code, either. :} The app was written by two engineers on the Android team, but not anyone specifically working on the framework. -- Jeff Sharkey jshar...@android.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] how to specify which soft keyboard appears
if application has EditText widget and user clicks on it, a qwertysoft keyboard appears. how do you get a numeric, 12key, or phone soft keyboard to appear instead.

[android-developers] how to control which soft keyboard appears
Using this EditText definition in res/main.xml: EditText android:text= android:id=@+id/EditTextReading android:layout_width=10mm android:layout_height=wrap_content android:inputType=numberSigned /EditText When user clicks on EditText widget, a numeric version of the qwerty soft keyboard appears onscreen to allow input. In the enviornment this application will run in, a 12key number keypad or even a phone keypad with the larger keys would be better. Is there a way to cause a 12 key number keypad or the phone keypad to appear? Thanks, John Brown -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
