[android-beginners] The notepad tutorial

[NeeravA]

In the notepad tutorial part3, in step 1 it is mentioned
"The current application has some problems — hitting the back button
when editing causes a crash, and anything else that happens during
editing will cause the edits to be lost."



Can someone explain why does it crash on hitting the back button. I
mean in terms of the lifecycle of the activity.


Thank you.

[android-beginners] Re: what happens exactly when android goes to sleep?

[Indicator Veritatis]

All this document says is that when Android goes to sleep, it calls
onPause(). But that does not tell what ELSE Android does when it "goes
to sleep".

For that matter, the same doc says that onPause() is also called when
another app takes the foreground, so the application developer cannot
even rely on a call to onPause() as a sure indicator that Android is
going to sleep.

Now I realize that the details of what it does when it goes to sleep
and wakes up might be subject to change w/o notice, but even so, it is
easy to see that the developer often needs to know more than just what
that one doc says about sleep and onPause(). A developer also needs to
know, for example, that Alarms are still checked while the phone is
asleep, and can wake up the phone.

Re: [android-beginners] ADB is not killed

[Xavier Ducrohet]

This is normal. Eclipse does start the adb daemon on start but never
kills it (unless it is to restart it right after).

The reason is that we cannot be sure that quitting Eclipse means you
don't have a shell/command prompt that is currently running some adb
commands (such as a shell on the device). You wouldn't like it if
those commands were interrupted because we killed the adb daemon.

Did you even TRY to read through the docs for these classes?  I run into
situations like this all the time when using a class I'm not that familiar
with... The very first thing I do is look at the list of methods available
on the classes that I am currently working with.

In particular, I had this exact same problem last week...  I looked at the
documentation for the class and found the getExpandableListView() method.

I'm fairly certain that TreKing did the exact same thing as well...

Well, I found the answer, prior to reading your reply.  So thanks
anyway.

And no, I had not tried it because I didnt know it existed, ergo the
post, I was trying to find this method.

The Answer is
registerForContextMenu(getExpandableListView());

[android-beginners] onTouchEvent, how often is the MotionEvent updated?

[Jeremiah Sellars]

Hello everyone!

I'd like to use some motion events in my GLSurfaceView. I've already
created some basic functionality with simple ACTION_UP and ACTION_DOWN
events, but I'm a bit confused at how often ACTION_MOVE is triggered
and how to gain access to the points that are recorded.

Any nudge in the right direction is appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time,
Jeremiah

[android-beginners] Hello all

[Ybot]

long time listener, first time caller:) I'm trying to perform have my
app perform a google search for specific values, programmatically.
What api or class is best to use for this purpose.  Just to give a
little more information, I want to be able to have the application
kick off a search like:

cheesecake ingredients

parse the resulting search and infer that ingredients are stuff like
milk, cheese, sugar, etc I know I could use httpunit java class
and parse the resulting web page, but was wondering if there was a
more elegant solution?  Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

[android-beginners] Screen lock customization for android

[DeAviator]

Hi frens
I'm planning to explore the possibilities on how to make a screen lock
better (like pattern based). It will be great help if someone points
out the difficulty level or where to actually start digging. This is
going to be my project idea for minor research paper. What do u guys
think or if anyone has more ideas worth exploring, I would like to
consider it. Or can I make necessary changes in original source code
of android and compile+build..
Regards

Deaviator

Nothing - at least not directly. The expandable list activity already

Did you even try getExpandableListView()?

Also make sure you read this thoroughly before continuing:

[android-beginners] Re: Whats the current View?

[ScCrow]

My code follows the exmple at the android site,
 
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/ExpandableList3.html.

The only change to the sample is code to retrieve data from a db
instead of hardcoding it.  So, assuming that you are correct, what in
this code defines the view.  Or rather, what can I use so I can
register my list for a context menu, which has a parm of type View?

[android-beginners] monitoring the http traffic

[prajakta choudhari]

Hello All:

I need to monitor all the http traffic on my android. Since my android is
non-rooted, I could not get access to the Downloads content provider. Is
there any other way to monitor all the http traffic without rooting the
android phone at the application level.


Thank you.

Prajakta

[android-beginners] How can I access the images of a specific directory from sdcard

[Yousuf Faheem]

Hi All,

I am creating an application that access the sdcard and retrieves all the
image files presents in all the directories. Now I want the user to select
the directory from which he wants to view the pictures and display the
images of that folder.

I am using

cursor =
managedQuery(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);




Any idea how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Yousuf.

[android-beginners] what happens exactly when android goes to sleep?

[Michael Dorin]

Exactly what happens to your activity when android goes to sleep?
Either via the power button or letting it sit idle?

Sometimes my app does not wake up nicely...It even crashes giving
a register dump...other times it seems to be 'half awake'.

What methods are invoked?  I don't seem to see onCreate or onResume
being called as I log those..unless I am missing something

Thanks,

-Mike

[android-beginners] Creating Calendar events - not appearing on calender widget

[Vikram Bhuskute]

 Hi,
  I am writing an app to create and read Calender Event, I am using
Calendar content provider.
I could successfully read calender events. I also seems to be able to write
calendar events. However the added event
is not visible from the default calendar widget , i.e. it should be seen
w.r.t. to particular date , which is not getting seen on
the UI.

Version : Android 1.6
Phone   : HTC Magic

 Please let me know how to add this calendar event so that it is visible
through default application.

 Regards

Vikram

Re: [android-beginners] Titkle bar display

Yes. Try this:

I believe that refers to the theme only being able to be set before
setContetView(). You can show / hide the title bar at any time.

Then you must be creating the view programmatically, so you'll have it
SOMEWHERE.

Also, this:

Re: [android-beginners] Re: [android-developers] ubuntu 10.04 emulator not launching

[Riaz Ur Rahaman]

I am using ubuntu 64bit version and have nvidia graphics card. I 
switched between different nvidia drivers but that didn't help.


Using eclipse 64bit version.

After some googling I found that this error is an ok thing. Since when I 
run glxgears and close the window I see the same error on 9.04 as well.


"XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server 
":0.0" "


After the XIO: fatal IO error I am getting a segmentation fault. This 
should be the main problem. Don't know why I am getting the segmentation 
fault.

[android-beginners] Retrieving a Layout/View programmatically problem

[MobDev]

Hi there,
I am retrieving several layout's programmatically an trying to add
them one to the other...
I noticed I was always getting a null as a response so I actually
simplified it to just retrieving one single layout, or actually it's
containing View, but still to no avail :(

This is my xml layout :

http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  android:id="@+id/layout_main"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/mygradient">


and this is my code within the app :
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();

LinearLayout main = (LinearLayout)
testGenresView.this.findViewById(R.id.layout_main);

//LinearLayout titleLayout =
(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.layout.genre_title);
//ScrollView bodyScrollView =
(ScrollView)findViewById(R.layout.genre_scrollview);
//genresLayout.addView(titleLayout);

setContentView(main);

}


This line :
 LinearLayout main = (LinearLayout)
testGenresView.this.findViewById(R.id.layout_main);

will consistently return null, any idea why ???
