Man... I am stumped here.  I have no idea what the problem could be.  Just
out of curiosity (I can't imagine this would be the cause of the problem),
is there a reason that your image is 8 pixels larger than the size of your
button?

[android-beginners] Database version is zero on initial install

2010-06-05 Thread Mahesh Dixit
I have released an app (World Time) with initial database. Now i want to
update the app with a database upgrade.

I have put in the upgrade code in OnUpgrade() and checking for the
newVersion. But it was not being called in my local testing...

So i put in the debug statement to get the database version and it is zero .


Any idea why it is not being versioned ?

Following is the code to copy the database from my Assets folder ...
*
InputStream myInput = myContext.getAssets().open(DB_NAME);

// Path to the just created empty db
String outFileName = DB_PATH + DB_NAME;

//Open the empty db as the output stream
OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);

//transfer bytes from the inputfile to the outputfile
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = myInput.read(buffer))0){
myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
}

//Close the streams
myOutput.flush();
myOutput.close();
myInput.close();**
*

Thanks for that. Perhaps not the best way, but I am still trying to get the
Intent-Method to work.

Aside: In experimenting, I can receive   android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE
(but not my broadcast).

The app sends the Intent, but the widget never shows Log.d() in

Q: Do I need the meta tag?
