[android-developers] Re: Issue with Threads and onCreate()
Sure, but then what if right as the activity is starting, something
else happens that causes it to be destroyed? (incoming phone call,
camera app is started, it could be anything, really)
My point was: instead of putting in all these hacks to try and prevent
your activity from being stopped and restarted at an inconvenient
time, it's ultimately easier to do the right thing. Like cleaning up
the threads in onDestroy, using a service instead of a thread, or
keeping the threads across activities.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer sluggish to play sounds
I'm surprised that calling start() has no effect, and that it takes several
seconds for playback to work again.
Do you have the same issue when playing a file in the music player, for
example?
On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 5:35 PM, Eric M. Burke burke.e...@gmail.com wrote:
I have an Activity that plays a brief OGG pop sound effect when
bubbles pop. To keep it fast and to ensure I can play several pops, I
create four MediaPlayer instances. I synchronize access to a pool of
instances, so I can play up to four pops at once. Once a sound
completes, I call seekTo(0) and return the MediaPlayer instance to my
pool.
Here is a rough sketch of the code:
// when the activity resumes...
for (int i=0; i4; i++) {
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.pop);
mp.setOnCompletionListener(this);
mp.setVolume(1f, 1f);
players.add(mp); // put into a pool of available players
}
// when a bubble pops...
MediaPlayer mp = ...get player instance from the pool
if (mp != null) {
mp.start(); // works! plays the pop sound
}
// implement the OnCompletionListener interface
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
// seek to the start so I can play the sound fast the next time
mp.seekTo(0);
return the MediaPlayer to the pool
}
Here is the problem. The pops all work so long as my game is active.
But if I let it sit there for just a few seconds, I see this in the
LogCat console: (on my G1 phone)
AudioHardwareMSM72xx Going to standby
Once this happens, the next several calls to MediaPlayer's start()
method play nothing...but they do cause the audio hardware to wake up
again, so then my sounds eventually (after a few seconds) start
playing again.
My question is, how do I prevent the AudioHardwareMSM72xx from going
to standby mode while my Activity is active?
One hacky idea...I could loop a continuous sound at extremely low
volume level in another MediaPlayer instance to force it to stay
awake. That's not appealing to me.
Ideas?

While that works, it will create a Cursor with 'N' rows and then counts the number of rows. If you instead retrieved count(*) as a column, you'd have a Cursor with 1 row, with a field that contains the count. The latter is more efficient.

Be sure to return 'true' in that case, otherwise the system will catch the key event and turn it in to a broadcast. If you need to use it in a background service, then your only option is to use a broadcast receiver at a higher priority.

[android-developers] Re: ERROR/MediaPlayer(1066): setDataSource called in state 128
I am one, and the error you posted indicates you called setDataSource while the MediaPlayer was in the 'playback completed' state. It could be a race condition in the framework, but since I have never seen this problem occur with the Android music app, I'm inclined to think it's a problem with your code. As a workaround, you could create a new MediaPlayer when you want to play something new. On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 1:05 PM, ATrubka atru...@gmail.com wrote: Guys, please...

[android-developers] Re: finish() not killing Activity
Are you sure you don't have several instances of activity C, and each press of the back button exits one until you finally get back to activity B? Try printing this in C.onDestroy() to make sure. On Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 5:07 AM, Todd Sjolander guyfantas...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I've got an application that has (among other things) three Activities, let's call them A, B, and C. A is the main navigation point for the entire application, and launches B and C directly using startActivity(). They work fine that way. However, when I call C from inside B, I get a strange problem. The code for launching Activity C is exactly the same in both places. The problem is the hardware back button. In the emulator, it takes two presses of the back button in order to close Activity C and come back to B. On a G1, it takes 3 or 4 presses. Upon seeing this, I implemented the usual suspects in C - onPause(), onStop(), and onDestroy(), and onResume() in B. When I press the back button from C and it doesn't work, I get onPause(), onStop(), onDestroy () - in that order, but nothing happens. When it works (on press 3 or 4 on the G1), I get onPause(), then onResume() in B, then onStop() and onDestroy(). I've tried catching the key press of the back button and calling finish (), but that doesn't make a difference. Has anyone seen this? To pre-empt some questions: All C does is display some data. There are no threads or any other special resources that C might have an active handle to that's preventing it from closing. But out of curiosity, if it did, how would I detect that? Any ideas for further diagnostics here? I'm out of ideas. Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Hello all!
I am creating a game in which the user can control a ship by

It all works on the emulator but when i open the game on a real device
then
the events (touch, trackball) do not work anymore.
I am catching evetns by overriding the dispatchEventType() methods.
This is the code in my Activity class that catches the events:
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) {
super.dispatchKeyEvent(e);
return controller.onKeyEvent(e.getKeyCode(), e);
}
public boolean dispatchTrackballEvent(MotionEvent e) {
if(settings[2] || settings[3]) {
return controller.onTrackballEvent(e);
} else {
return super.dispatchTrackballEvent(e);
}
}
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
if(settings[1]) {
return controller.onTouchEvent(e);
} else {
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(e);
}
}
I think the dispatchKeyEvent(..) method works fine, but the other ones
do not work on a real device.
They work without problems on the emulator.
What am i doing wrong?
I really do not understand it.

For some reason, onTouch() would get called multiple times with each touch, launching a new Activity C each time. Yes, the onTouchEvent() method will usually be called multiple times on an actual device, since you can't hold your finger completely still, and so you will get a continuous stream of 'move' events following the 'down' event. You should only get one 'down' event though, so you could always check whether the event was a down event, and only start activity C when it is. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

My application was removed from the android market together with Blocks, Cubik, Net Tetris, Netblocks and Tetroid (6 apps in total) under claim that it violates the DMCA and more specifically trademarks and copyrighted material owned by the Tetris Company. However, none of the trademarks or copyrighted material (music, graphics and sound effects) are present in my game. Sound effects and music were created by me specifically for the game. There is no reference to the word tetris in the game. Additionally, all the game code, graphics and sound effects were created by me and published on the code sitehttp://code.google.com/p/monolithandroid Additionally, I am not aware of a software patent covering the game mechanics of Tetris, so I cannot see how I could violate something that is not protected by a software patent. Also, even if the game was protected by a patent, the patent would have expired, since the original game, Tetris, was created 23 years ago. However game mechanics cannot be covered by patents. I would also like to point out that my game is available completely free of charge to every user of the android market. I wrote those concerns to Google and I sent an email to the EFF. The bottom line is that for my application to be restored on the android market, I have to send a DMCA counter-notification. And then the Tetris Company can sue and take the case to Court. When games were pulled from the iPhone App store, they blamed apple, but it is not hard to see that behind application removals we can find companies like the Tetris Company, that demand application removals claiming copyright infringement and trademarks. However, it is not easy to battle these companies as individual developers. I, for example, am a Greek citizen living in Greece, so it is difficult for me to file a counter-notification, because then the Tetris company will probably sue me and I will have to defend my case in court. Why should I bother? Am I making money out of the game? No! But even if I did you can see how easy it is for corporations to neutralize developers like that. I think that something should be done. Independent developers should get together to battle against such misuse of the law by corporations.

As for your example of a swing, my comment was directed towards video- games, and not physical apparatuses, which are clearly patentable. I know what is accepted as patentable or not by the USPTO, as I submit these patents on a regular basis. If you file patents on a regular basis, then surely you must have heard of the 'swing' patent before, which isn't actually a patent for the apparatus itself, but for a method for swinging sideways on a standard swing. Anyone who was ever a child should be aware of the prior art for that, yet it still got issued.

I don't know then. I don't think that Formatter.format() should create
that many temporary objects. Have you tried formatting the number
differently, like as an integer? (note also that if this is a sqlite
based cursor, I think you can just getFloat() the column, so you don't
have to parse a string in to a float)

Having a UI element for the user to select that then causes Activity.finish() to be called is no different from the user pressing the back button. In fact, this is what Activity.onKeyDown() does when you let the back key fall through.

[android-developers] Re: Android 1.5 Cupcake
Did you try asking whoever it was that created the image that is not working?

Can anyone direct me as to why the emulator does not work with 1.5 anymore what might be the cause and a solution if there is one. I removed the SDK and emulator completely even eclipse I re downloaded and reinstalled eclipse, the ADT plugin, SDK and emulator. Emulator works well with 1.0 but still does not work when 1.5 img files are loaded. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Audio chat
You can't do that using the SDK at the moment. You might be able to hack something together using native code, but you'd either have to use AMR or provide your own encoder, and you'd also have to write your own rtsp or http server or other communications protocol. That's probably beyond the scope of this discussion group though. On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 12:57 AM, gunar adrian.proco...@gmail.com wrote: Hi! I have a question? Can someone give me a direction where to look to make an audio chat application? I saw some threads related to audio streaming, also other related to audio recording/playing. How to setup a RTP/RTCP/RTSP session between two Android clients? Best regards!
