 Hello.

 I had a question.

 As the android OS will be available on a variety of devices with
 different screen resolutions, widths and properties, will there be any
 porting issues/ specific points that will need to be taken care of by
 the application developer to ensure that his UI renders equally well
 on all devices ?

 Or will the framework take care of it itself and the developer will be
 insulated from such issues ?

 Thanks in advance

[android-developers] Html.fromHtml in 1.5 strips out line Separator's

2009-06-02 Thread mathiastck

This looks like a bug to me.  Under SDK 1.5 this code:

String lineSeparator = System.getProperty
( line.separator );
String testString = first line+lineSeparator+second line;
Log.i(helloworld15,testString.indexOf(lineSeparator))
+testString.indexOf(lineSeparator));
Spanned spanned = Html.fromHtml(testString);
Log.i(helloworld15,spanned.toString().indexOf
(lineSeparator)) +spanned.toString().indexOf(lineSeparator));

ouputs:

06-02 21:57:46.255: INFO/helloworld15(1210): testString.indexOf
(lineSeparator)) 10
06-02 21:57:46.284: INFO/helloworld15(1210): spanned.toString().indexOf
(lineSeparator)) -1


Under SDK 1.1 it output:

06-02 21:58:38.176: INFO/helloworld15(471): testString.indexOf
(lineSeparator)) 10
06-02 21:58:38.715: INFO/helloworld15(471): spanned.toString().indexOf
(lineSeparator)) 10

So it appears that as of SDK 1.5 Html.fromHtml is stripping out
lineSeparators.

This is also true for the method:

fromHtml(String source, Html.ImageGetter imageGetter, Html.TagHandler
tagHandler)

for reference here is the Android Html class:

 Use your layouts to display TextViews and ImageViews at the same time.

[android-developers] Re: Wrap Text around ImageView

2008-12-15 Thread mathiastck

I think you can achieve this efect using a Spanned, which you pass to
a TextView:

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/text/Spanned.html

I was able to display html with image tags, by using

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/text/Html.html

and implementing

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/text/Html.ImageGetter.html

I'm not sure the easiest way to create the Spanned from scratch, since
the Html class was handling that for me.

Best of luck

[android-developers] Data Roaming and 3rd party apps

2008-12-11 Thread mathiastck

Referencing this article:

T-Mobile produces official statement regarding international G1 data
roaming
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/12/10/t-mobile-produces-official-statement-regarding-international-g1/

the statement being:

Official T-Mobile statement:

T-Mobile is committed to delivering the best experience in wireless to
our customers. If a T-Mobile customer would like to use their T-Mobile
G1 while outside the country, they should contact Customer Care before
they leave to ask that the WorldClass feature be added to their
service at no additional charge. If they choose, customers can also
disable data roaming on the G1. This can be done by going through the
following steps: Home Screen  Menu  Settings  Wireless Controls 
Mobile Networks  Data Roaming.

Some third party applications available for download on Android Market
require access to the internet and have the ability to turn on data
roaming when in use. Customers are informed whether an application
will use this feature prior to downloading, but should also be aware
when traveling outside the country.


Does this mean all 3rd party internet apps, (ie those that have
requested android.permission.INTERNET), will turn on data roaming, or
does this refer to apps that have requested some extra permission.
Perhaps android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE?

Thanks

Yes you can:

The Using Intents to Launch the Market Application on a Device
section describes the url pattern.  It also works if these urls are
used on links on pages viewed from and Android phone.  They don't work
if you just type them directly into the browser, they have to be
links, to generate the right intent.

[android-developers] Re: Manipulate Drawable Resource

2008-12-05 Thread mathiastck

Also not sure what you are talking about, but generically, from code,
if you want a Drawable object that can be modified, I had that
problem.  I used a StateListDrawable.

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/graphics/drawable/StateListDrawable.html

It was for Drawables in an ImageSpan.  They started out as default
placeholder drawables while the Bitmap was loading from the network.
After the image came back from the network the handler called addState
on the StateListDrawable with the new BitmapDrawable to be displayed,
and called setState on it.  The problem was it didn't measure right
afterwards so I had to re call setText on the TextView passing it the
Spanned holding the Drawable that had been updated.  Then it worked
great.

 From what I recall, the way notifications work is that you can refresh
 them in place by sending out a new notification with the same id.
 Ofcourse this would give you a chance to update the icon too. Can't
 remember how this is done exactly, but look at any basic notification
 examples or my Android's Fortune app's source code (which refreshes
 the fortune cookie that is offered as a notification).

 Is this simply what you wanted or am I not understanding you?

[android-developers] Re: Custom ImageButton Shape

2008-11-20 Thread mathiastck

You can create a drawable using whatever image you want, for each of
the states of the button.  Try creating an xml file like so, and
putting it in res/drawable:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
selector xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
item android:state_focused=true android:state_pressed=false
android:drawable=@drawable/glassbutton_focusedblue_up /
item android:state_focused=true android:state_pressed=true
android:drawable=@drawable/glassbutton_focusedblue_down /
item android:state_focused=false android:state_pressed=true
android:drawable=@drawable/glassbutton_defaultblue_down /
item android:drawable=@drawable/glassbutton_defaultblue_up /
/selector

and then in your button set

android:background=@drawable/mybutton_background

however I'm betting this still results in a square clickable area.
I'm not sure if you can do a circular clickable area, but you're not
likely to need one.

[android-developers] Re: Android and Web Services

2008-04-30 Thread mathiastck

I'm using the same methodology.  I've pieced it together from advice
here.  I took a look at KSOAP but found it easier to build up the
request manual from streams and bytes.

To build the request I used these snippets

InputStream requestISStart = activity.getAssets().open(start of your
soap stuff...

requestDataStart = new byte[size];
requestISStart.read(requestDataStart)
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream bufferStream = new
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();

os.write(requestDataStart
os.write(arguments1.toString().getBytes());


RequestEntity requestEntity = new
ByteArrayRequestEntity(bufferStream.toByteArray());
postMethod.setRequestEntity(requestEntity);

etc.


The part that is taking most of my time is parsing complicated
requests, using:

XmlPullParserFactory factory;
try {
factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance(

System.getProperty(XmlPullParserFactory.PROPERTY_NAME),
null);

XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();

which instantiates this:

  The bad news is: Apache Axis is not in Android BUT the good news is,
  you can do this with a simple HTTP POST. Get theSOAPenvelope that
  Axis generates for you and POST it yourself with something like this:

  import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
  import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;

  HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

  PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod(  YOUR_ENDPOINT  );
  postMethod.setRequestHeader( Content-Type, text/xml;

  postMethod.setRequestHeader( SOAPAction, YOUR_OPERATION  );
  postMethod.setRequestBody( YOUR_SOAP_ENVELOPE  );

  int statusCode = client.executeMethod( postMethod );
  if ( statusCode == 200 ) {  // good response
  return( postMethod.getStatusLine().toString()  );
  }

  To get theSOAPenvelope, start tcpmon or SOAPMonitor and run your
  axis code below. Then copy theSOAPfrom the monitor window and paste
  it into your Android code.

  If you'd like to expand on that approach, I'd recommend putting theSOAPin a 
  resource file and merging in arguments such as Mike.

  enjoy!
