[android-developers] How to inflate a MapView inside a ViewFlipper??
Hi, I'm stuck in this issue for a while now.. went around forums, books (M.Murphy, R.Meier) and I did not find any real helpful threads.. My main activity is a ListActivity, where the view(main.xml) contains a ListView and a ViewFlipper just below. For each selected line in my ListView i want to update the content of the ViewFlipper. Based on two buttons, my ViewFlipper would switch between the MapView and a basic LinearLayout. As far as i understand i should inflate my MapView but I did not find any informatio about how to do that.. Of course I'm aware that a MapActivity should appear somewhere.. If someone could provide me a link to a snippet code or answer me with a sample code it would be great!! (the other option is to start a new activity based on a MapActivity where i would not need to inflate anthing, but it would not be so nice) Thanks, Pedro Here below my main.xml: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

Have you ever tried this? Not sure it works, since i will likely face another issue in managing the ListView without the ListActivity... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] MapOverlay and displaying location as an address
For the Geocoder, here's a bunch of code you can use..
LocationManager locMgr =
(LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Location lastLoc = locMgr
.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
ListAddress addressList;
Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
try {
addressList= geo.getFromLocation(lastLoc.getLatitude(),
lastLoc.getLongitude(),

if (null!=addressList) {
Address MyAddress = addressList.get(0);
// do something with MyAddress
}
}
catch (IOException e) {

Thanks guys, just tried it out and it works... But the inflating manner is still confused for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: how to place a button inside the map view
Hi Siva, I would like to know how you have managed your ViewFlipper from an Activity point of view?? What is your main Activity type that performs your setContentView()? I would like to do the same thing, putting different Views (MapView, ListView,..) inside a ViewFlipper, but i can not find the way.. Do you associate a MapActivity?

[android-developers] Re: Long server process...solution
on the client side, is there a solution that'll keep a connection open and poll every few seconds to find out how far along the process is. Since you perform an HTTP POST, your client just waits for the server response, in meantime from your java code point of view you can no do nothing (blocking function), it will only wake up when the full bunch of data will be available from TCP to your java applicative layer.. or if the TCP connection is reseted from one side of the connection or if it's time out'ed. May be intermediate HTTP responses with a 100 (continue) status could suit your issue, i'm thinking of that because your could had some specific HTTP headers containing the information you want .. Another solution would be to work at socket java level, if you want a more accurate view on what's going on in your request, but i do not even know if it could solve your issue.. Anyway, Polling a server to find out how much time a request would take, seems to me quite strange.. are you really sure you have the good approach?

[android-developers] Re: service process priority: startService() vs bindService()
Thanks Dianne for your answer.. I just compared the basic thread and a thread launched in a service process upon an AIDL request in the sense that if the client actvity was destroyed, then in both cases, the basic long time running thread and the service thread would also be destroyed... With your responses it's now more clear for me.. and by the way I realized it's make no sense in launching a thread upon an AIDL request from a component and expecting this thread keeps on running, after the component be destroyed. (Dianne, your Multitasking the Android Way paper is very very helpfull, keep on doing things in this way..) On Mar 5, 7:04 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: The service will be at the level of the most important thing it is doing. If it has a service that is started, and an application that is in the foreground bound to it, then it will be in the foreground as long as any such bound application is foreground. When the application goes to the background, it will be lowered to the service level (unless there is some other component or something else going on more important than the service). This is very different than just making a long running thread in the processes, which the system then doesn't know about and never prioritizes the process based on the thread being there. (And anyway you can't bind to a thread from another processes, so functionally you just can't do the same things.) Also please realize that just having a service started doesn't mean your process won't get killed except under unusual situations. In fact the current implementation ensures that, for a service that remains started a long time, its process will eventually get killed (and the service then restarted).
