[android-developers] Android Vitals and Stuck Wakelocks
We have an alert / warning about stuck wake locks in the new Vitals section of the Play Store Developer Console. The apps that have this alert are all audio apps and the offending WakeLock Tag appears to be the AudioMix lock. There is a note about apps that may need long-running locks, such as streaming music, which leads me to believe this warning can be ignored for these particular apps. I'd like to get some verification on these particular vitals. If these alerts for locks such as AudioMix are a normal thing, can they be safely ignored? Also how are these vital statistics effecting our Play Store rankings, especially if a stuck wake lock for an audio app is considered "normal"? Any information about this is appreciated.

Re: [android-developers] Application Recycling
Thank you all for your replies. I have tested each of my activities and their state saving using the rotate approach. But what I'm trying to test is the state of my entire application, not my activities. For example: If in activity 1 I initialize a static field to a value. Then lock the device on activity 5, I then return to my application 4 hours later, during which time the device reclaimed my application for memory. I then restore my app and am looking at activity 5, I then tap something and navigate to activity 6, once there the activity attempts to access the field initialized in activity 1, but since activity 1 hasn't ran since the application was restored I get a null reference exception. I realize this is a bad technique--and I want to be able to recreate application recycling in order to diagnose a similar issue, so that I may resolve it, but am unable to. Any ideas on how I can for application recycling, so that I can test this without having to wait 4 hours in between each test? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Application Recycling
I'm trying to test my application's ability to be restored after my phone reclaims it for memory. I'm unable to find a consistent way to reproduce this behavior. My first questions is: What is the official term for this? Application Recycling doesn't seem to help me find any information online. Once I know what it's called I should be able to find some info, and even search these forums accurately and find an answer; but if anyone is willing to point me in the right direction I would appreciate that as well!

[android-developers] Re: Intercept incoming call
I'd like to expand the logic of when to send a call directly to voicemail. I believe that there would need to be a hook somewhere to intercept the incoming call and determine whether or not to accept it. An example use case would be to prevent drunk dialing. There could be a setting in Android that would allow the user to set the device to send all calls to voicemail if the the caller is not in the family contact list and it is between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. We have a checkbox to allow users to send all calls to voicemail from a given contact, so I don't see why this should be a problem. Is this going to be possible? -- Trey On Sep 27, 4:27 pm, Eric B [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of the best apps I've every bought for my Treo 600/650 is an app that lets you assign specific ring tones (really mp3 files) to specific contacts or groups of contacts. I especially like the ability to turn off the ringer and vibrator for calls with no caller id. I don't think this kind of app would be possible without being able tointerceptacall.

[android-developers] Alternative for intent.getExtra()?
I'm using the LocationManager to receive location updates via an
IntentReceiver. The intent receiver looks something like this:
public class handleLocationUpdate extends IntentReceiver {
public void onReceiveIntent(Context context, Intent intent) {
Location loc = (Location) intent.getExtra(location);
Double lat = loc.getLatitude()*1E6;
Double lng = loc.getLongitude()*1E6;
Point point = new Point(lat.intValue(), lng.intValue());
mapController.centerMapTo(point, false);
setContentView(mapView);
}
}
I see that the getExtra() method is now deprecated. The docs state to
use the type safe methods now, but there isn't a type safe method for
receiving Location objects, so what is the preferred way to retrieve
the Location object from the intent now? I'm using sdk-m5-rc15.
Thanks

[android-developers] Prevent phone from ringing?
Let's say that I want to send a caller straight to voicemail if I'm watching my favorite movie. Is it possible to have a service that grabs that Intent and doesn't let any other application have it? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
