[android-developers] Re: Anyone noticing more uninstalls of their app than usual over last weekend/today?

2009-12-21 Thread wusch 
I am seeing it too.

Did you use the Max SDK setting on the AndroidManifest.xml?  I
noticed a blog posting that said the default behavior is when a Over
the Air update was pushed for 2.0.1 and you had a max sdk setting of
5, it would Uninstall the purchased application automatically!!

Supposedly they are fixing this going forward...

[android-developers] Re: Undocumented Permission changes in 2.0.1 on MovieView?

2009-12-07 Thread wusch 
Thanks Dianne for the heads up.  Do you know if there are plans to
expose an intent to play a video directly instead of having to
redirect through the browser?  Having the browser intercept my VIEW
intent on a video/mp4 MIME type, just to turn around and launch the
video player seems kind of silly.

If I use a RTSP:// protocol in my URL it will launch the player
directly, but alas the MovieView class chokes on the MP4 video type,
obviously because I am hosting the file off a standard HTTP server and
not a streaming media server.

Your insights are greatly appreciated,
Jeff

[android-developers] Undocumented Permission changes in 2.0.1 on MovieView?

2009-12-06 Thread wusch 
Hi, I have been using the intent android.intent.action.VIEW on the
com.android.camera/.MovieView class to initiate playing of MP4 movies
from within my application.

It was working like a charm in 2.0, but I am now getting Permission
Denied exceptions.

12-06 11:12:24.869: WARN/ActivityManager(52): Permission Denial:
starting Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=http://
videos.captureacard.com/video/CaptureACardTraining-Intro.mp4
cmp=com.android.camera/.MovieView } from ProcessRecord{44de1bb0
227:com.jww.sos.CaCActivity/10026} (pid=227, uid=10026) requires null

I am all about adding in security to the application so the user knows
what they are getting themselves into when they install my app, but I
can't seem to find the new UsesPermission entry.

Anyone have any idea?

Jeff

2009-12-06 Thread wusch 
Yeah, I used that mechanism at first, but what ends up happening is
the Intent gets processed by the web browser which then opens the
movie.  When the video is done playing, an empty browser window is
left open that the user has to back button through.  It is a crappy
user experience.

I guess I have to write my own movie viewer.
Thanks for your help

 You do realize that com.android.camera.MovieView is not in the SDK and
 should not be directly invoked by Android SDK applications, right?

 Dump the component name, add the appropriate MIME type to your Intent
 (e.g., video/mp4), and try that.

                 category android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE /
                 data android:scheme=rtsp /
              /intent-filter
              intent-filter
                 action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
                 category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
                 data android:mimeType=video/* /
              /intent-filter
              intent-filter
                 action android:name=android.intent.action.VIEW /
                 category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
                 category android:name=android.intent.category.BROWSABLE /
                 data android:scheme=http /
                 data android:mimeType=video/mp4 /
                 data android:mimeType=video/3gp /
                 data android:mimeType=video/3gpp /
                 data android:mimeType=video/3gpp2 /
              /intent-filter
         /activity

 Note that I misspoke a bit in my previous reply. This activity element
 shows a general video/* and specific http video/mp4 filters.

  I just starting doing video with this intent in SDK 5.
  I just tried it again, and it opens the browser first:
                     Uri uri=Uri.parse(getString
  (R.string.mainHelpVid_captureCard_URL));
                     Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
                     i.setType(video/mp4);
                     i.setData(uri);
                     startActivity(i);

  Does the above code look right to you?  I am parsing a http URL from
  my strings.xml file.

 Yeah, that should be OK. I guess either:

 -- Google Code Search has the wrong stuff, or
 -- The Browser intent filter is taking precedence

 Phooey.

[android-developers] Android 2.0 Bugs in ContactsContract.Intents.Insert

2009-11-25 Thread wusch 
Hi all, so I am using the Android 2.0 intents to create contacts.

Looks like several of the Constants when past as Extra's in the Intent
objects do not properly map to the fields in the Add UI in the
contacts app.

Specifically the ones I am having issues with are:

COMPANY
JOB_TITLE

do not seem to map to the Organization fields on the Add UI,

and
NAME

seems to put the data into First Name field and leaves Family Name
blank on the Add UI.

I tried searching for a bug reporting mechanism for Android O/S, but
didn't have much luck.Can someone point me at the bug repository?
I can provide sample code that demonstrates the bug.

Thanks,
Jeff
