[android-developers] Dictionary File
I'm looking for the dictionary file, or a way to access the dictionary of words (that I am assuming comes with the system). I looked in the standard place of /usr/share/dict but I didn't find it. I'm not looking for the user dictionary found on UserDictionary.Words. Does anyone know where I can find the dictionary?

[android-developers] App causing crash/reboot cycle
So I have 2 reports now of my app causing a crash/reboot cycle the user can't always break from. I cannot reproduce this on my phone, and I am wondering what might be causing something like this? Would running out of memory or something cause this? Because I can't reproduce it, I can't look at the logs or anything. Has anyone experiences anything similar? For reference, my app runs a foreground service which utilizes the AlarmManager. It starts automatically on boot_completed (which is probably why the cycle happens). One of the users who reported this, said it only happened when they plugged their phone into a PC. So, anyone have any ideas?

What happens if I enabled the pattern lock by updating the setting LOCK_PATTERN_ENABLED, but have never set a pattern?

[android-developers] Re: compatibility with nonexistant classes
Using? a wrapper class of sorts? If I initiate the WallpaperManager
anywhere in my code, it will throw a VerifyError on older platforms, I
tried something like this:
if(Integer.parseInt(Build.VERSION.SDK) >= 5){
WallpaperManager wallMan..
...blah blah
}
The only way it does not throw a verifyerror is when I don't use the
WallpaperManager anywhere.

[android-developers] compatibility with nonexistant classes
I have read the Backward Compatibility Article, and I don't full understand how (or if I can) make a program backwards compatible if I want to use a class introduced in later versions. For example, I want to use WallpaperManager for apis 5+, but make the app as a whole compatible with api 3+. Is this possible?

Thanks for the response. Is daisy chaining alarms actually better than adding all the alarms I want at once with different request codes? It seems that my app uses far less battery than before, because I switched to method 2 from above. I am not sure if there is actually less battery usage, or if it has just been moved out of my app. - Kenton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Design for Battery Life
I am trying to design something with battery life in mind. I need to trigger multiple tasks at multiple known times in the future. Handler.postAtTime can't be used because the phone could sleep between triggers, and the timing would then be inaccurate. I can't add all the tasks to an AlarmManager since the intent I am firing off is the same, they replace each other; I think I am down to two ways to design this. 1) I can use TIME_TICK (which is how I am doing it now) and check every minute to see if that is the time I want to perform my task, but this seems bad for battery life. However, in testing, after 10 hours of idle, it cost me about 10% of the used battery - I had 90% battery life left, so I would assume that Time_Tick costs me about 1% of total battery per 10 hours of idle, which doesn't seem too bad, but I have no other apps to really measure it against. 2) This thought just came to me is that maybe I can use an alarm manager to chain broadcasts; I could set an alarm for the first time I need, then when that fires, look at the next time I need, and set an alarm for that, and so on. My question is, what are the trade offs? How efficient is the Alarm Manager, and how does it work? As a general rule, are there any suggestions someone can give me for designing for battery life?

[android-developers] List View multiple choice slow to update
I am having trouble with a list aspect of my app. Essentially, it has
a multiple choice listview(simple_list_item_multiple_choice) on the
right and a text view on the left.
When an item of the list view is checked off, I want to add it to the
text view or remove it if it gets unchecked. This almost works except
that the updates on what is checked seems to be one click behind.
I.E. check something off the first time and nothing happens. Uncheck
it or check something else and the first thing appears. Check below
the list choices (but still in the list view) and it updates.
I was not able to get setOnItemSelectedListener to respond as all, so
I am using onTouchListener:
private void loadContacts(){
String[] contacts = new String[] {People.NAME};
final String[] cols = new String[] {
Contacts.People.NAME,
Contacts.People._ID,
Contacts.People.NUMBER
};
final Cursor C = getContentResolver().query
(People.CONTENT_URI, cols, null, null, null);
startManagingCursor(C);
lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.contact_list);
ListAdapter mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,
C,
cols,
new int[] {android.R.id.text1} );
lv.setAdapter(mAdapter);
tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.contact_text);
lv.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
chosen = lv.getCheckedItemPositions();
updateAttendance(chosen, C);
//C.moveToPosition(lv.getCheckedItemPosition());
//tv.append(C.getString(0));
tv.invalidate();
return false;
}
});
//lv.setItemsCanFocus(false);
lv.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
lv.invalidate();
}
private void updateAttendance(SparseBooleanArray array, Cursor c)
{
tv.setText("Chosen Ones:\n");
boolean inLoop = c.moveToFirst();
while(inLoop) {
if(array.get(c.getPosition() ) ) {
tv.append(c.getString(0) + "\n");
}
inLoop = c.moveToNext();
}
}

[android-developers] Choosing the Right Phone
Hello, First off, I am not entirely sure what was the right forum for this question, so I apologize if this is not the right one. I have been some apps and I have gotten to the point where I need to test them on a live phone. For developing purposes, would you suggest getting the Android Dev Phone and connecting it to a service provider or just getting the G1 phone since that would be the true environment that the app would be run on? Essentially my program will be sending POST requests online and then Dialing out to a phone number. This is the reason for needing full service.
