[android-beginners] Re: execSQL SQLiteException near "?"

2010-02-23 Thread alandgri
In my experience on other SQL databases, you can't substitute a
parameter for a table name.  You can only substitute values for
parameters that don't change the execution path of the query.

I'm guessing you're launching the debug session by simply clicking the
"Debug" (green bug) icon in the toolbar, or Run >Debug from the menu?

What this does is make Eclipse try to create/find a launch
configuration that is valid for your project instead of launching a
specific configuration, which is what you should do after you've
created one or launched once (this creates one the first time)

here's what you could do:
- use the drop down menu next to the icon to see the list of existing
launch config (or open "Debug configurations" to create a new one).
- Go to the preferences and under Run/Debug > Launching, change the
"Launch Operation" preference to "Always launch the previously
launched application". That way you can just click the bug icon
directly (or use the Run > Debug which actually becomes Run > Debug
Last Launched)

It looks like your workspace isn't set for auto-refresh. Go to the
preferences and under General > Workspace check "refresh
automatically".
This will make Eclipse automatically detect files that are changed
outside of Eclipse and trigger a recompilation.

[android-beginners] How to save a WiFi connection?

2010-02-23 Thread Abhi
Hi,

I have written an app that programmatically scans for open WiFi
networks and connects to the one that has been hard-coded in the app
code. For e.g., I have a home network, SSID: Abhi and is secured as
WPA-Personal with a Passkey. The passkey for the above network has
been saved within the App, so when it looks for networks the first
time and comes across the SSID 'Abhi', it connects with the passkey.
However, the problem is, once I am done using the connection and
switch WiFi off and back on again, I don't get connected automatically
to 'Abhi' which would happen if I manually add the WiFi network going
into settings and so on.

Can someone help me figure this out?

Thanks,

Abhi

And to make it a little more robust so that people can't fake out the key
you can check to make sure the Key application and your main application
were digitally signed the same.  The link I gave you shows how to
incorporate that as well.

Yes there is... As with any solution there are different tradeoffs,
advantages, disadvantages etc.  I actually have a post where I explain in
detail what worked for me.  The gist of it to move the check from being just
a resource string check to actually creating a "Pro Key Application."

When the key is installed the pro version of the app runs.  When it is not,
the free version of the app runs.

You can find more info here:

The android.os.Debug method tracing shows all methods.  It doesn't

2 things.

NB: I have the latest JDK.

[android-beginners] Re: google gdata Calender api problems with android

2010-02-23 Thread ik
1. As written in 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener.html:
monthOfYear The month that was set (0-11) for compatibility with
Calendar.

2. Did you try to print startdate and enddate to be sure of their
values ? Your code is not complete, where did you declare mYear,
mMonth and mDay ?

3. I'm not sure but I suppose that getEntries gives the result from
the last application on top, like getExtras.

I have one question for you : what packages are you using ? I googled
for days looking how to get datas from gmail without success.

Thanks,

[android-beginners] Re: Why on Earth is it so hard to set up the development environment?

2010-02-23 Thread tony obrien
I think I understand your frustration  I came from VisStudio and
before that it was mostly embedded systems and UNIX.

The android "environment" (somewhat like Java itself) tries to be a
lot of things to a lot of people -- remember the "write once, run
many" pronouncement of years gone by? You can even (so I've been told)
can code in VS and then using the binary interface compile and build
your Android pkg. Not for the faint of heart though.

But let me make this suggestion. If you go to the Android SDK site,
read the basic material regarding android development, read the simple
HELLO world example(s) using Eclipse, then following that lead and
download Eclipse, "attaching to" the SDK itself, and creating at least
one target "DEVICE";  that is to say ---  doing exactly as the
docs suggest ... You Will Succeed.

The bad news is that the Eclipse and Android SDK do not spoon feed you
(as the VS comes close to doing) *but* it does make logical sense and
you can create an app and run (and DEBUG) it on the Eclipse/Android-
device-emulator.

Perhaps if you are still having trouble you can re-view each step, and
send in questions at each phase? It may seem quite a bit less
daunting. You should also apply some critical thinking to each step
your stuck at...   e.g. I found that I had to change the PORT number
from the DEFAULT when trying to DEBUG my first app. The Android Hello
World doc indicated that the debugger would try to attach via PORT #
x, but my Mac-version documentation for the (binary)debugger suggested
a different PORT # y --- and viola'  it finally connected!

we're here to help.

[android-beginners] ListViews, Tabs & Back buttons!!

2010-02-23 Thread davidk
Hi all.

I don't think I'll show code as I'd like to understand the correct
method rather than get bogged down in syntax.

I have three tabs which are going to hold three different RSS feeds.
Focusing purely on the Tab 1, I'm loading a ListView of the required
feed into that, this list has an onClickListener on it. I can
successfully select a row and pass the required data to a ScrollView
holding the specific feed item content if I set up the second tab to
hold that ScrollView, but ideally I'd like the ScrollView to be loaded
into Tab 1 in place of the ListView its coming from. Eveything I've
tried results in an Emulator load error. I get the feeling its because
I've declared the listview in main.xml and I'm then trying to load a
ScrollView into it which isn't of the same type. So what do I do?
Convert the xml node in main.xml somehow? This feels like it should be
a bread and butter type operation but I can't work it out.

One way that almost works is to club the ListView and ScrollView
together in a ViewFlipper. I can then toggle between them but this
feels incorrect and I can't see any way of controlling a flipper view
sufficiently, especially how do I then implement a keydown listener to
control the back button back to the listview.

Any insight as to the correct approach much appreciated.

Many thanks.
Davdi

[android-beginners] How to get more than one result from Voice Recognition?

2010-02-23 Thread Roger
I see there is a parameter called EXTRA_MAX_RESULTS to limit the
number of results you get back from the Recognizer, but I never get
more than one anyway.  Is there some way to get multiple closest
matches back?

[android-beginners] Error in Activity Lifecycle diagram? When to open/close SQLite db?

2010-02-23 Thread Bjoern
Hi,

Looking at the activity lifecycle diagram here
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#actlife

I wonder, shouldn't onDestroy also be called if the process is killed
(the path on the left braching off from onPause - "Other Application
needs memory")?

Specifically I wonder when to open and close a SQLite database? Would
onCreate and onDestroy be the right place, or should it rather be
onResume and onPause?

Thanks!

[android-beginners] Creating DEMO and FULL versions

2010-02-23 Thread Roger
I have a couple of apps for which I have 2 different versions.  Code
executes conditionally based on R.string.isDemo.  Everything works
great until it's time to publish to the Market.  The Market
(understandably) requires different package names.

So, here's what I started doing - I develop the FULL version in
Eclipse and test it.  When I'm done, I make a copy, import that into
Eclipse and refactor it to change the package name.  When I try to
install to my dev phone, I get the following error:

"Re-installation failed due to different application signatures."

OK, so I understand what's going on here, but my question is this- if
I publish this version to the Market, will it require users to
uninstall and reinstall their copies?  That's not exactly a seamless
process and I don't want the users' databases to be deleted, either.

I really don't want to maintain two versions by adding/testing the
same code in two different projects.  That is a formula for mistakes
and oversights.  Is there some other way?

Maybe when I export the Signed App Package, everything will be fine?

Thank you!  I was able to deploy to my Droid phone using this method.

One question though.  I have a few apps that I deploy my Droid through

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Deactivate any calls to Log methods before publishing app

2010-02-23 Thread Justin Anderson
However, it would be a good programming practice to only leave logging on if
you provide a way for users to get that information back to you if they have
a problem... Otherwise it is just wasting cycles and battery and slows your
app down a bit.

Again though, the key word is SHOULD.

[android-beginners] How to trace the functions called ? [by the app]

2010-02-23 Thread Naveen DS
Hi,
  I am using an application for android and having source code also. I
am trying to extend that app and I am unable to understand how the app
is running inside android. Is there any way to know which "method" or
"function" is called and in what sequence(when the application is
running..).?? ie.. for eg, if app has some 2 classes and each has 5
methods each , I want to kno which method is called, (I need to know
the sequence)
  I tried trace view and dmtracedump, but these show info about the
System functions rather than the user defined ones in app..
  Kindly help me out with this ..
 Thanks ..

[android-beginners] Android alarm manager

2010-02-23 Thread Sam B
Hi, i have a class which sets an alarm but i need to set a more of
these alarms .. instead of duplicating classes is there a way i can
just make a new instance of the class and set the alarm time? Each
alarm class will be triggered from a button in another class. Im
trying to avoid having alot of duplicate classes with different times
set for the alarms.

Heres my code.


public class Alarm extends Activity {
/* for logging - see my tutorial on debuggin Android apps for more
detail */
private static final String TAG = "SomeApp ";
protected Toast mToast;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);


setAlarm();
}





   public void setAlarm() {


try {

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 01);
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);


Intent intent= new Intent(Alarm.this, Alarm1.class);
PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,
1234567, intent, 0);
PendingIntent sende2 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,
123123, intent, 0);

AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)
getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(),
sender); // to be alerted 30 seconds from now
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, cal.getTimeInMillis(),
sende2); // to be alerted 15 seconds from now

/* To show how alarms are cancelled we will create a
newIntent and a new PendingIntent with the
* same requestCode as the PendingIntent alarm we want to
cancel. In this case, it is 1234567.
* Note: The intent and PendingIntent have to be the same
as the ones used to create the alarms.
*/
Intent intent1= new Intent(Alarm.this, Alarm1.class);
PendingIntent sender1 = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this,
1234567, intent1, 0);
AlarmManager am1 = (AlarmManager)
getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am1.cancel(sender1);


} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "ERROR IN CODE:"+e.toString());
}
}

};





b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {


//  Intent i = new
Intent(getContext(),Alarm.class);



//Code below is from another class which is where im calling the alarm
application



   // ctx.startActivity (i);// start the Alarm
class activity (class)public void onClick(View v) {

Alarm a = new Alarm ();

a.setAlarm();

There are lots of alternative tutorials. But they tend to be even more
out of date than Google's. So the best course of action is to be
persistent, live with the bugs you find in the online tutorials,
finding workarounds by searching this group, Stack Overflow, and the
open internet.

There you will find corrections for at least many of the bugs in the
tutorials.

That said, I have found the following alternative online tutorials
also useful: http://android.cyrilmottier.com/?p=85

hello, you are kind of committing suicide if you do
super.onDestroy() :)

[android-beginners] Re: Webview

2010-02-23 Thread Ken H
You need to capture the Back keyevent...

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
if((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)){
 // put your code to recall page here
}

return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

But you have to be careful because "Back" is also how the user expects
to leave the app (which is why your app is closing...you're at the
main activity it sounds like when the user hits back).

[android-beginners] Re: Default Map Not Showing Up During Tutorial

2010-02-23 Thread Mike
So I went and attempted to write the same program on a different
computer. It worked fine. I suspect that this is not an issue with the
apikey, but rather some setting in my original computer that limits
access to the internet (possibly higher security settings or some
firewall). Anyways, thanks for the help and hopefully this helps
others as well.

No, it's just recommended that you do.

Where does it say you're forbidden? All I saw was "you should make sure that
debug facilities are turned off...". Keyword: SHOULD.

Many many apps leave logging on for release. You can see for yourself by
just running a few on your device while connected to the debugger or DDMS.

What do you mean it doesn't work anyway? What happens when you use the
activity (what you should be doing)?

Re: [android-beginners] help installing ADT eclipse Plugin

Hi,

do you is using what kind of operational system? You can try to add
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo to the update list and do an
update. This may install the pluggins that are missing.

[android-beginners] Re: Deactivate any calls to Log methods before publishing app

2010-02-23 Thread Indicator Veritatis
Hi, Justin-

True to from, the official Android documentation on this property on
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html is not all
that clear, but it seems to say just as you do: that it concerns using
the debugger, NOT logging.

But the OP had another closely related question still unanswered: is
is really true that all logging using 'Log' must be turned off to put
the application on the market? I can think of lots of uses for logging
that even the user can turn on/off, yet the guidelines at
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/preparing.html really do
seem to forbid using 'Log'.

[android-beginners] Re: Scrollbars Problem

2010-02-23 Thread Indicator Veritatis
He explicitly said he wanted horizontal scroll bars. Those are for
horizontal scrolling; ScrollView supports only vertical.

If the OP wants to scroll a TextView, he should look at
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.styleable.html#TextView_scrollHorizontally.
