[android-developers] force start GestureOverlayView

2012-11-30 Thread John A
Activity A calls startActivity(intent4activityB); in its 
OnLongClickListener.

Activity B contains a GestureOverlayView.  I would like to be able to 
detect a gesture starting as soon as Activity B starts, but the 
GestureOverlayView does not begin tracking until the user lifts her finger 
and then touches the activity again.

Is there any way I can force the GestureOverlayView to start a new gesture 
immediately?

Yup, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I had hoped switching to google 
plus accounts would help, but they haven't done that. They just hid the 
names making it even harder to contact them (sometimes you'd get lucky and 
the name/date would coincide with someone in the purchase history) now they

Sometimes it is vital to answer at comments, because people will check the
reviews and might see the stupid comments mentioned above and decide not to
download it, which leads in less downloads and money lose in cases.

you could try (i know its an ugly solution) to simulate ACTION_DOWN

[android-developers] onutterancecompletedlistener UtteranceProgressListener not fired

2012-11-30 Thread brandall
This question is a long shot, as it's a peculiar problem

I have a foreground service which controls my application's text to speech 
and recognition functionality. My implementation works correctly for 
thousands of users, but a handful a Galaxy SIII users are reporting a 
problem whereby onutterancecompletedlistener or UtteranceProgressListener 
is not called, which is the trigger for the recognition to start, making 
the application useless.

The application works fine from a launcher shortcut/shake/widget, until the 
user opens another application!? As soon as they open another application 
and attempt to start my app again, the listener is not called. The service 
needs to be restarted in order for it to function again.

I have tried absolutely everything and read every post out there, with 
various suggestions of where to put the listener (onInit). I've tried 
static implementations, randomly generating the utteranceID, applying 
individual listeners to each possible call to the speech engine (checking 
all possibilities of null objects) but nothing fixes it - It speaks 
successfully and then nothing

So, without me posting my thousands of lines of code, could anyone suggest 
an Android fundamental reason why the listener would fail to be called 
after an application is opened!?! I'm totally baffled as to how this could 
even be a possibility or interfering with my app?

Suggestions welcome! Thank you.

[android-developers] Persistence 3 Tabs (TabNavigation) in action of ActionBar Sherlock.

2012-11-30 Thread Guilherme Bernardi
Hi

I'm using the lastest ActionBar Sherlock version and I'm developing an 
application with layout with ActionBar and 3 Tabs for the navigation.

These tabs will load two attribute classes:

*1st Tab - (Dados): Class Cliente.*
*2nd and 3rd Tabs - (Entrega, Cobrança): Class ClienteEndereco.*

Could I start the whole save of three tabs by the action of Save on the 
actionBar?
And Could I fill the 1st Tab for example and when I change to the 2nd Tab, 
the 1st doesn't lose the data?

More information about the structure:

I'd structured the tabs and activities this way:

I have a SherlockFragmentActivity (*CadastroCliente*) where I implemented 
the ActionBar and the Menu with Save, Cancel (You can see at the print 
below).

And I have three SherlockFragment for each Tab: 

*CadastroClienteDados*
*CadastroClienteEntrega*
*CadastroClienteCobranca*

I've made the layout with 4 xm layout:

One for the SherlockFragmentActivity with a FrameLayout inside that will be 
inflate.
One for each SherlockFragment with components(EditText, CheckBox...)

I'm working with a Persistence Class with a overridable method grava(), 
this method will be override on attribute classes to persist the objects in 
a SQLite databases.

Re: [android-developers] Persistence 3 Tabs (TabNavigation) in action of ActionBar Sherlock.

2012-11-30 Thread Παύλος-Πέτρος Τουρνάρης
As for the state of the tabs i think you should use the saveInstanceState
method or something like this. It will most likely retain the data on it
while you are on the TabActivity.

Also make your variables public so that when you click the save button you
can access them and save them on the way you would like to save them.

[android-developers] How to access linked files by using AssetManager ?

2012-11-30 Thread Makrand
I have some bunch of Android projects that contains some common resources 
in Assets folder, So I have created one folder called Android Resources 
in workspace and copied all common resources in that, and I have linked all 
resources to Assets folder like this.

http://www.badlogicgames.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/eclipse-link.png

Now I am facing problem with accessing that resources. 

1) Our normal way of getting files from Asset doesn't work. I understand 
this because its not physically present in folder

AssetManager aManager = context.getAssets(data/Myfile.txt);
InputStream is = aManager.open(path);

2) Then I have checked my project file I found some entries there. 

linkedResources
link
nameassets/data/Myfile.txt/name
type1/type
locationURIPARENT-4-PROJECT_LOC/workspace/Android 
Resources/data/Myfile.txt/locationURI
/link

Then I have tried to access file by using this path, but not successful.
 
String path=PARENT-4-PROJECT_LOC/workspace/Android 
Resources/data/Myfile.txt 
AssetManager aManager = context.getAssets(path);
InputStream is = aManager.open(path);
 
every-time I am getting null pointer exception, I feel that I am missing 
something but not getting what?

[android-developers] Re: herbew text

2012-11-30 Thread Piren
Android 2.0/2.1 do not include a Hebrew font by default (except for 
localized roms in Israel of course), as far as i remember they only added 
the fonts on 2.2.
so if you wish to support the earlier versions, you'd have to supply your 
own font with the app and set each and every Textview to use it; my guess 
it will be easier to extend TextView to have that code, then replace all 
textviews in the app to use your custom view instead.

P.S - RTL support in Andriod 2.x is horrible, so you better get someone 
that can also read Hebrew to make sure the text is shown correctly (i.e the 
letters might show up, but in an incorrect order)

[android-developers] Re: thread wait in android

2012-11-30 Thread Piren
whaaa... thats really going against all the basic android fundamentals. ..

first, you never ever stop/hault/wait/busy-wait/do long processes on the UI 
(what you called Main) thread. You do that, the app is stuck and eventually 
errors out to the user (an ANR).
Second, you shouldn't be creating UI on a background thread (can be done 
under certain strict conditions, but not recommended). Any code that 
'touches' the UI, needs to run on the UI thread.

Look up for tutorials regarding using ASyncTasks... also, i think you 
skipped on reading the Android Fundamentals articles... you should read 
those :)

2012-11-30 Thread Piren
just noticed that you mentioned AsyncTask and that you wont use it - Well, 
you should. what you're doing is WRONG.
If you're that inclined on doing things the wrong way, at least remove your 
wait() (there's no need for that) and just post to the UI thread once the 
thread is done.

[android-developers] Re: official backup/restore docs test example doesn't work?

2012-11-30 Thread Chris Grebeldinger
To follow up in case it's useful to someone else:

I ended up doing my testing with two devices using the same google account. 
 IE force a backup from one device, then do a factory reset on a second 
device and see if the the data gets restored with the app is first 
installed on the second device.


On Thursday, October 11, 2012 9:04:52 PM UTC-4, Chris Grebeldinger wrote:

 In the documentation:
 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html#Testing

 It recommends testing backup/restore of your application by:
 1. installing your app
 2. make sure backup/restore is enabled
 3. changing some data and calling dataChanged()
 4. forcing bmgr to run a backup pass
 5. uninstall the app
 6. re-install the app and check if your data was restored

 All seems well until step 4, when I see this in the log:

 V/BackupManagerService(  306): removePackageParticipantsLocked: uid=10078 
 #1
 V/BackupManagerService(  306): Removing backed-up knowledge of 
 com.example.app

 And then for step 5:

 V/BackupManagerService(  306): restoreAtInstall 
 pkg=com.example.app token=21
 V/BackupManagerService(  306): No restore set -- skipping restore

 So apparently backed up data is destroyed when an app is uninstalled, 
 which means the official testing workflow can't possibly work right? 
  What's the best way to test this?

 Thank in advance

 Not. Since you aren't entering that line anywhere, it has zero effect on

 The claim was for docs that are wrong. Mere superficial typos don't count

[android-developers] Re: External data storage - Best practise

2012-11-30 Thread Nobu Games
On Friday, November 23, 2012 8:47:38 AM UTC-6, Alexander Hoffmann wrote

 The second question is: Should I connect directly to the database with the 
 android application or should a create webservices on the server which save 
 the data in the database and which I call from the Android application.


My database lecturer at university would have said: never ever expose the 
raw database, not even to the server application. He was a firm believer in 
using only stored procedures for any database interaction in order to:

   - Separate concerns (separate data layer from business logic)
   - Preserve data consistency (data layer itself makes sure that the data 
   and any changes to it make sense. The business logic is not allowed to 
   mess around with it)
   - Only allow as much data access / manipulation as necessary
  - Basically set up a database role with read-only rights for the 
  business logic. That role is also allowed to call these stored procedures
   
If you allow your Android clients direct access to your database you must 
do a hell of a good job of making sure that no misuse is possible:

   - SQL injection attacks (could even execute arbitrary code on your 
   server and hijack it)
   - Access to private server-data
   - Access to other users' private data
   - Vandalism, data corruption

That's really a tough one to cope with properly so do not go for that 
option.

To keep things secure and reasonable create a web service that offers a 
clean, authenticated, session based interface to your Android client app. 
Do not allow direct database access at all.

You do not really need to implement stored procedures even though they can 
be really elegant. But make sure for the very least that you use prepared 
statements in your SQL queries in order to invoid injection attacks.

If you need password based user authentication then please do not store 
plain text passwords. Store hashed and salted versions of the passwords 
using individual random salts per password. In case there is a data breach 
you increase the chances of making the stolen password list useless for an 
attacker.

You can find lots of material online for all these buzz words I mentioned.

Re: [android-developers] Problem loading some web pages on some devices

2012-11-30 Thread darrinps
Hmmm...another piece to the puzzle.

I intercept the HTML to see what it looks like and although the page stops 
loading, when I inspect it, all I see is an empty HTML page!  So for 
whatever reason, the problem devices aren't getting the data loaded when I 
retrieve it over the Internet.

For those who want to know how to intercept the HTML, here is what you do 
just BEFORE your call to WebView.loadUrl()

   // intercept calls to console.log
webview.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()
{
public boolean onConsoleMessage(ConsoleMessage cmsg)
{
// check secret prefix
if (cmsg.message().startsWith(MAGIC))
{
String msg = cmsg.message().substring(5); // strip off 
prefix

// process HTML

DebugLog.d(TAG,  msg);
return true;
}

return false;
}
});

// inject the JavaScript on page load
webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String address)
{
// have the page spill its guts, with a secret prefix

view.loadUrl(javascript:console.log('MAGIC'+document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML););


 //Stop the spinner
activityIndicator.setVisibility(View.GONE);

}
});

[android-developers] Re: Fragments slow to load when coming back

2012-11-30 Thread Nobu Games
Did you check for the typical bottlenecks? It sounds like you're performing 
intensive tasks on the UI thread, which might explain the lag of 2 seconds 
until the UI is visible. I guess that your web service requests runs on the 
UI thread. And maybe your code accidentally starts that request again when 
coming back from the other activity.

In general you need to avoid the following on the UI thread: any kind of 
I/O like reading/writing files, database access, loading bitmaps, Internet 
requests should be done in a background thread. You can use AsyncTask for 
doing that.

 Hello! 

 Here's the situation :

 I have a parent activity that have 3 fragments associated with it. 
 Basically, there is the actionBar and three tabs. Each tab holds a fragment 
 in which there is a listview.

 The data are the same for all the 3 listviews, just filtered in different 
 way so, in the parent activity, I call a webservice to fetch the data and 
 then I push the data to all three fragments and populate their listviews.

 When I select an item from one of the listviews, I land on another 
 activity. The PROBLEM is, when I come back (to the activity with 3 
 fragments), there seems to be a lag from the moment I push the actionbar up 
 button and the activity loads. Tough to explain, but when I hit the up 
 button, it stays selected for about 2 seconds and then switch to the 
 activity.

 I'm using setRetainInstance on fragments...other than that, I don't know 
 what could be the cause.

 Do you have any idea? Anything common about using fragments and coming 
 back to this activity after leaving it.

 Thank you!

Re: [android-developers] Problem loading some web pages on some devices

2012-11-30 Thread Nobu Games
Here rings a bell... I had to work on a WebView based app about two years 
ago and I also noticed the blank-page problem on some devices whereas it 
worked just fine on others. It turned out that WebView rejected the SSL 
certificate of the loaded webpage. So if you're loading an HTTPS page this 
could be an explanation for that problem.

If the server provider / owner of the web page to load does have a valid 
certificate you need to verify that the certificate information is also 
consistent and correct (must match the specific domain / subdomain). 
Android can be very specific about that.

There are plenty of *Battery Saver* apps that do roughly this already.  
There may be some that even do exactly that.

 I've never created an android app, however I am a computer science major 
 (sophomore), so I am relatively familiar with some java code. However, I'm

 I have noticed that the less service I have, the more battery power that 
 is used to search for service.
 My ultimate goal is to create an app that will put my phone on Airplane 
 mode when it is locked and periodically turn off Airplane mode every X 
 minutes.
 The purpose of putting the phone on Airplane Mode when it is locked is to 
 prevent the phone from using battery searching for service when I am not 
 using it.
 The purpose of turning off Airplane Mode every X minutes is to allow my 
 phone to update, by searching and hopefully connecting to a network so 
 that I can be alerted of any missed text messages and/or calls that I have 
 received since being on airplane mode.
 If the phone is unlocked, I would like Airplane mode to be turned off.

 Ideally, I would rather not have to write this code at all. I would really 
 appreciate it if someone else could write it for me, not because I am lazy, 
 but because this is an app that my phone desperately needs because I spend 
 a lot of time in areas where I have too little service for the phone to 
 effectively use the networks to send information, but just enough service 
 that my phone can still receive information from senders (texts/emails).
 -Thank you to whomever may be able to help me.

[android-developers] Best approach for incorporating in-app purchase demo code into real project.

2012-11-30 Thread Keith Wiley
The 'Dungeons' demo code goes to some length to emphasize the security 
issues involved in implementing in-app purchases.  One thing it makes some 
issue of is being careful about dropping the demo code into an existing 
project as opposed to reimplementing it from scratch (ugh).  I'm using 
CodeDefender (or whatever it's called, I don't have it in front of me right 
now) for basic obfuscation, and I certainly intend to mix up the demo 
code some...but I'm curious if there is a more explicit prescription for 
how to fold in-app purchases into a project.  Would others strongly advise 
against literally duplicating the Dungeons code into a subpackage of my 
actual project and then proceeding to make various cosmetic, yet 
functionally null, changes to the code?  Is there a better way to 
accomplish this overall task?

Thanks.

Re: [android-developers] how to play a video on an OpenGL texture

2012-11-30 Thread bob
I've been baffling my brain with this some more.

I suspect the solution to the problem lies in this text.

/**
 * Update the texture image to the most recent frame from the image 
stream.  This may only be
 * called while the OpenGL ES context that owns the texture is current 
on the calling thread.
 * It will implicitly bind its texture to the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES 
texture target.
 */
public void updateTexImage() {
nativeUpdateTexImage();
}


I suspect the key is figuring out what while the OpenGL ES context that 
owns the texture is current on the calling thread means.

Anyone have some Advil and a Babel fish?

[android-developers] Re: thread life

2012-11-30 Thread Streets Of Boston
Yes.

Threads are alive as long as they run and are not at all associated with an 
Activity's (or any other object's) life-cycle.

This is also one of the main reason why it is dangerous to create 
sub-classes of Thread that are (anonymous) non-static inner classes, where 
the outer class is an Activity (or any other object whose life-cycle is 
externally maintained), since instances of these Threads hold implicit 
references to the outer Activity instance -- Activity leak.

Re: [android-developers] Problem loading some web pages on some devices

2012-11-30 Thread darrinps
Well I first tried adding in the onReceivedSslEror into the WebViewClient:

@Override
public void onReceivedSslError(WebView view, SslErrorHandler 
handler, SslError error)
{
DebugLog.d(TAG,  SSL Error received);
handler.proceed();
}

When I ran it though, it never got hit, so I thought it must not be an SSL 
issue.

BUT, then I tried using a browser on the device instead:

  Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
Uri.parse(uriString));
  startActivity(myIntent);

When the browser came up it showed, you guessed it, a security warning 
about the certificate! When I pressed Continue to add the exception the 
page loaded just fine!

So, it's either forgo the WebView or get the site to update their 
certificate.

THANKS!

 By golly it is a secured site. Hmmm...that could just be it. Odd that some 
 versions of Android would care more than others but, hey, if it's the way 
 it is then that's just the way it is.

 I would think that onReceiveError would get called though and it isn't. 
 Just an over site by 2.3 possibly though.

 Thanks. I'll dig into this!

 Here rings a bell... I had to work on a WebView based app about two years 
 ago and I also noticed the blank-page problem on some devices whereas it 
 worked just fine on others. It turned out that WebView rejected the SSL 
 certificate of the loaded webpage. So if you're loading an HTTPS page this 
 could be an explanation for that problem.

 If the server provider / owner of the web page to load does have a valid 
 certificate you need to verify that the certificate information is also 
 consistent and correct (must match the specific domain / subdomain). 
 Android can be very specific about that.

[android-developers] Google Maps Api Sign Up

2012-11-30 Thread J Handal
Sign Up for the Google Maps API

The API keys generated by this page are no longer available

I am using this tool to create my own map

http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/spreadsheetsmapwizard/makecustommap.htm

I need to access this map from my Android App

The Maps API requires a free API key that's associated with your Google
Account http://www.google.com/accounts/ and the URL of your web site. You
can sign up for one here http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html,
and substitute it as the value of the key= parameter in the script tag
below.

String MyOwnMap = 
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214217748623619348483.0004c4c2e5e1da43c0f90msa=0
;

intent.setComponent(ComponentName.unflattenFromString(com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity));

Maybe some PREMIUM App from GOOGLE  ?

[android-developers] Re: Getting the height of soft keyboard.

2012-11-30 Thread Rudy
Well i'm using cocos2d-x and when the keyboard appears, it does not 
reallocate the controls, and if there are controls behind the keyboard they 
keep behind and i can't see what i am writing, so i want to know the 
keyboard size to move my view, I tested changing the manifest to do it 
automatically, but it did not work, so I am trying programatically via 
Cocos2d-x or via android and jni.

Actualy you can make a whole new UI for the phpBB, if you were able to
access the forum database. It's not dificult, you just have to search for a
good documentation about the phpBB.

Re: [android-developers] thread life

2012-11-30 Thread Kristopher Micinski
Yes, with the caveat that if you're doing this it might not be such a good
idea.

In Android, you might be better fit with creating a Service that mediates
interaction between the Activity and the background thread, that or using
an asynctask.
