[android-beginners] screen orientatios
Hi all, Have a couple of questions. 1. How do you switch screen orientation, is it done promatically or layout/main.xml ? 2. And how do you create tabs. The examples of tabs that were found, doesn't seem to work. Are there any good examples of TABS out there that work? What I'm trying to do is create two tabs that share the same screen.

[android-beginners] Monkey
I've have one app that I would like to test out using Adb and MONKEY or zipalign. I use WIN7 and searched the entire HD for both MONKEY & zipalign...no such program(s) are found. I tried ADB (forget the exact syntax) with Monkey, thinking that Monkey is internal to adb, but couldn't get it to work. Does anyone know where either one of these programs might be found?

[android-beginners] Virus software``
Hi Everyone, Is there anyone who is using Win7 with a virus software package that is named CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010 who has problems with Eclipse when it starts and generates this error message: UNABLE TO PARSE ADB VERSION? I have had this problem before and I strongly think that CA is the problem, just haven't figured out IF IT IS THE PROBLEM, what the fix is. Tried to disable the firewall, turn CA completely OFF, but haven't found the answer. I would appreciate any help in solving the WIN7 and CA problem.

[android-beginners] UNABLE To PARSE ADB Version
Logging in as Administrator did not solve the ADB Error. Is there anyone(besides myself in this entire world) who is using WINDOWS 7, professional version, that develops Android apps within that enviorment?? Or, maybe the developers of Eclipse know of this error and don't know how to fix it?

[android-beginners] ADB Error
I am currently using WIN7 professional. I have installed and reinstalled Eclipse/Android multiple times. All of the paths are correctly set within Windows7 enviroment. However, whenever Eclipse starts, this error always comes up:"UNABLE TO PARSE ADB VERSION". I have tried using the cmd line to get it to work, but to no luck. Have also stopped & restarted adb, and then restart Eclipse..no luck going about it that way either. Have changed modes by setting the program properties of Eclipse/Android to run in either Windows XP mode(service pack 2 or service pack 3)...no luck there either. Tried all of this being connected/disconnected from the internet...no luck there either. Is there anyone else who has or had this kind of error, and what is solution was/is?? Others have said that Eclipse has to be in C:\users\owner\My Documents. Did that too..no luck. Have tried everything..no luck. Perhaps someone else using Windows7 professional holds the key. If so, please post the steps taken to resolve this error. Thanks to all that have replied thus far, and Thank You for time and efforts.Rc3375 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!

[android-beginners] WIN7 virtual mode
Here's what has been done: 1. Window's7 HOME EDITION came with this new laptop (TOSHIBA). 2. UPGRADED to WINDOWS XP virtual machine (and installed it). 3. Created a shortcut to Eclipse(which resides on C:\Eclipse) on the virtual machine(WINDOWS XP). 4. Fired up WINDOWS XP virtual machine. --- When the short cut to Eclipse is clicked (on the virtual machine) an error message comes back saying that JAVA cannot be found. So what we are looking for is there anyone who knows how to: A) Create a path that the VIRTUAL machine will be able to use, and points to the path(environment settings) that already resides on drive C: B) OR, create a new path that the virtual machine uses when in use. All of this is being TRIED, because there is still the problem that when ECLIPSE is tried on drive C:, the error message is "CANNOT PARSE ADB VERSION", comes up. Which we have tried all combinations trying to fix this problem. Not sure if it's a WIN7 issue, ECLIPSE problem, OR the computer is smarter than we are! Thanks to all for the help.

[android-beginners] ADB problem
Is there anyone who has had any problems using WIN7 and Eclipse? Everytime Eclipse starts this error always comes up: "UNABLE TO PARSE ADB VERSION". If you try and run/debug the app from within WIN7, The connection to adb is down, and a severe error has occured. [2010-01-29 19:00:17 - app name] You must restart adb and Eclipse. [2010-01-29 19:00:17 - app name] Please ensure that adb is correctly located at 'C:\Android\tools\adb.exe' and can be executed. Adb is in the directory:'C:\Android\tools\adb.exe', and can be executed from the cmd line. Tried quitting eclipse and WIN7 and restarted. Ran adb kill-server, adb start-server...(daemon not running...starting it now. daemon started successfully. start eclipse, and then that's when the error comes up. This is driving us crazy. So, IF by chance there is anyone else using WIN7 professional version to develop on and has encountered this problem with ADB, please post it and let me know.

[android-beginners] abd error: cannot parse adb version
Recently purchased a WIN7 laptop. Came loaded with the home premium edition. I also have another laptop that has has WIN XP on it. ECLIPSE is installed on each one. The WIN XP works just fine with ECLIPSE. The WIN7 (upgraded to the PROFESSIONAL version) is the one that is giving me all the problems. Whenever ECLIPSE is started, the first message displayed is: "FAILED TO PARSE ADB VERSION", then says to start adb and restart eclipse. Done that, SAME ERROR. Tried to run the emulator from the command line, SAME ERROR. Tried to reinstall eclipse several times, SAME ERROR. I find it hard to believe that I would be the only one who develops in WIN7. Would there happen to be anyone who is developing in WIN7 and have come across this error, and how it was resolved?? All the directories and PATHS are correct, ECLIPSE and ANDROID has also been installed multiple times. Can't find the problem. Since there are no problems with the XP laptop, I copied adb.exe from the XP to the WIN7, thinking adb on the WIN7 is corrupt. Needless to say, that didn't work. Which is saying, "HEY...you are overlooking something." No clues to what is being overlooked. Againis there ANYONE WHO IS DEVELOPING WITH WIN7 and who has encountered this error??? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS, ANY CLUES, ANY FIXES, ANYTHING. I don't mind if you email me directly with the solution, the sooner the better.

[android-beginners] ADB ERROR
Does ANYONE(besides myself) had any problems installing WIN7, AND getting this error msg WHEN eclipse fires up: "UNABLE TO PARSE ADB VERSION". I have download a fresh copy of eclipse thinking that the first copy might of been corrupt. NOT the problem. Checked AND rechecked the paths, SAME ERROR. I have done EVERYTHING that I can think of. I have even tried changing the properties on the ECLIPSE short cut, for ECLIPSE to run under WIN XP mode(service pack 2/3), that doesn't work either. Is anyone using WIN7 and developing with ECLIPSE 3.4.X?? Perhaps you would be kind enough to explain what you did to get Eclipse to work (with out this error). I'm starting to think that ECLIPSE has problems that the software engineers have either over-looked, or ignoring.

[android-beginners] Cannot parse adb version
Is there anyone willing to help me beat up ADB? I recently did a reinstall of:ECLIPSE/ANDROID & ANT on a windows7 laptop. Some say that windows7 isn't compatible. Which leads me to this questionIF is ISN'T, then how are others developing IN WINDOWS7 Anyway, all of the files are in their proper locations (Eclipse/Android and Ant). ALL of the PATHS are setup correctly within window7 enviornment settings. With that being said, WHEN ECLIPSE is STARTED from WITHIN WINDOWS7, this ERROR comes up that says "UNABLE TO PARSE ADB VERSION". I have tried running ADB KILL-SERVER / ADB START-SERVER from the command prompt. The emulator starts fine, but the app in question NEVER STARTS. Same result if the app is run from within ECLIPSE. All of the most recent AVD's are present and installed. Tried ALL the AVD's...but the app will not appear and run the way it should. Even checked the ADT version, that too is correct. SO, if windows7 is not compatible AND other are developing on windows7, then it comes down to OVER-LOOKING SOMETHING. Does ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF WHAT THAT COULD BE? I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT IF ANYONE HAS HAD this issue, let me know what the problem was, and how you found/solved it. Thanks to everyone for the help and assistance.

[android-beginners] adb prob
Put eclipse/android and ant on a windows7 laptop. When eclipse fires up, ERROR: UNABLE TO PARSE ADB VERSION. TRY AND RESTART ECLIPSE/ADB. Done that. Will not get rid of error. Tried running app from within eclipse. All works fine EXCEPT for the app in question NEVER shows up on the EMULATOR. Have another laptop with windowsXP, works just fine. All file are present and in correct directories and the enviorment is also setup correctly(PATH). Tried killing and restarting adbno success. Each time that is done, same error when eclipse restarts. Even tried wiping everything out and starting overNO SUCCESS. This is driving me nuts...does any one have and fixes for the problem with the adb??? Also, all the avd's are present within ECLIPSE. No matter what version is tried, the app NEVER shows up on the emulator. Perhaps I'm missing something, and clues would be more than appreciatedthanks to everyone for your time...

[android-beginners] abd error
Just did a new install on another laptop. Running abd from eclipse (not the command prompt). Android sdks are all installed correctly, 1.5,2.0.etc. whenever eclipse first fires up, the error message is:"unable to parse adb version." BUT if you try and run the app(with one I called (nomaps) and look to see if the app is included in that particular build, it actually is. The emulator fires up and about an hour laterNOTHING shows up on the emulator(anywhere). All the tools are availabe and are all the proper directories. The path in windows7 is also been checked, and is correct. The appname.APK is being built in the correct directory as well, with the new time and date. Don't know who might of answered earlier for this post, but I had accidently deleted any responses.

[android-beginners] problem with adb
I am developing on windows7. I am using eclipse(not from the command prompt). All android packages are one the system. The problem is whenever eclipse starts up, it come up and and says "cannot parse adb version". Abd IS installed as are all deveoper tools in their default directories. All path are set correctly from the windows7 enviorment. IF you look at a avd (that I called noMaps15, or of any of the others) all have INCLUDED the program that I need to look at. But again, it seems that the ERROR is with the ADB portion. Once again, when ECLIPSE starts up, this error comes up "unable to parse adb version". Even if adb is started from the command prompt, the program in question does not show up and runs, even after an hour. I have another laptop that has eclipse on it, and that one is sorta slow...but it works fine. I do not have access to it, because I drive truck.

Recently got new windows7 laptop, and did a new install of eclipse/ant and android. When eclipse fires up...unable to parse adb version.

The emulator won't fire up IF you just try and RUN the app, it will not start (error:restart adb and eclipse). Done that too a million times, same error. BUT when you use one of the packages(ie : Android1.5 ) from the preferences menuandroid will indeed fire up.

[android-beginners] Re: problem with adb
1. Windows7 2. Eclipse & android were installed in C;\dirname of software pkg. 3. Got it to fire up, but the emulator does not pick up the pkg I'm trying to debug. And if you just right click on that pkg and say run/debug, that's when that error comes up. But if you go 2 preferences and click on the android portion. That's where u see android versions then u can select one/or create a new one(those do work, but the pkg fails to show up on the emulator). This is a copy of my other laptop, and all works fine on that one. Plus, it isn't finding some of the software that is on the system that is in the path.

[android-beginners] HELP
this is the problem: there are 5 EDITTEXT "boxes". the value that the user enters into FIELD1 needs to be retrieved in to a variable called FIELD1_RETRIEVED. if the user enters 135.98, that number is used in the calculation process. once FIELD1 is entered, the CALCULATE button is pressed. WHATEVER those value might be the remaining fields(FIELD2, FIELD3, FIELD4 AND FIELD5) need to take on those values. all the "R.id.FIELDX" are an INTEGER. so how to do this is getting abit overwhelming, i realize that it isn't all that hard to do, but at this time, very frustrating. anyone who could lend so code samples of how to read what a value is, and put a result into a EDITTEXT field would be appreciated. thanks to all, rc3375 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] TOTALLY LOST AND CONFUSED
hi everyone-- got questions about android. the MAIN.XML screen has the following items in this order: 1. TextView01 2. EditText (called gF) 3. EditText (called fF) 4. EditText (called sF) 5. EditText (called ttlF) 6. EditText (called nF) and at the bottom of the screen, a botton called cB(that performs the calculations). i need to be able to READ and check if the user has entered a valid input into the first field(gF). such as a double value/float value within a given range( greater than 1.01 and less than 99.98). this should not be an integer. if that number is not within that range, change the TextView01(string) informing the user what that range should be(i.e "Please enter a value between 1.00 and 99.99"). pause xx seconds, and restore the original text to TextView01. if gF is within the allowed range, button cB would/should be ENABLED, the user presses it, the fields(EditText(3 thru 6) would be calculated and filled in with whatever those values come out to be. i have not been able to figure out how to READ what the user entered into field(gF), how to PLACE/ASSIGN those values to fields 3-6(once the calculations are done), how to get the calculation portion to fire up, validate a range, OR change a TextView01(string). i am at a COMPLETE loss. can/would anyone be able to help me? thank all of you for your kind attention. rc3375. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

i have a file that was created in eclipse. the screen has been designed with one field that the user would enter a value such as 123.45, and the rest of the fields are calculated from the 123.45. all the EDITTEXT fields have their default values(public static final int calculate_id=0x7f050006).(from the R.java file. they are assigned a value from the calculation(R.id.calculate_id = xx;). all the values in the R.java file seem the default to public static final int calculate_id=xx. the R.id.calculate_id = XX fails. it does not matter if XX is an integer,double or float. is there a way to convert the R.id.calculate_id(EditText) field to either float or double? i have tried to parse it and cast it. but everytime that is done and you recompile the file, the R.java file will revert to the orginal settings. literally driving me nuts...help --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

Can ANYONE help me with the BUILD.xml file?? After starting a new project in ECLIPSE, no BUILD.xml is generated. I have looked around in ECLIPSE and have not found any setting that willI build the ANT BUILD.xml file. Some sample apps that I found on the web included the build.xml file and everything worked fine. Are you suppose to create a "template"(build.xml file) and then copy it to the directory in which you intend to create your project and ANT sees it and makes the necessary modifications in order for it to function properly??? Haven't been able to find any documentation on how to create the BUILD.xml, not on ECLIPSE WEB SITE or ANT WEB SITE.Can anyone please assist Thank You All, (can email, it would greatly speed up the process) rc3...@gmail.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Reference Guide
Does anyone know of a good REFERENCE BOOK that includes and has examples and explanations of the ANDROID LANGUAGE(functions) such as the following: * android * android.app * android.appwidget * android.content * android.content.pm * android.content.res * android.database * android.database.sqlite Even though these are the web, is it time consuming to go to each category and print it out. A REFERENCE MANUAL would be great. Thank you, rc3...@gmail.com (if anyone knows of one, you could email me the title,author and publisherthanks again) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] How 2 install app on MY phone
Does anyone know how to install an app on your personal phone? I saw a post that i thought would do it, but that did'nt work. I have a app that I would like to install on MY phone, to use it, test it and debug it, prior to public offering(ANDROID MARKET). Can be just a java program, or does it have to be an android app? Is there any documentation available on how to achieve this? My job does not allow me alot of time to develop apps, so if there is anyone who could help, please email me, rcobb3...@gmail.com. Additionally, is there any documentation on ECLIPSE. Tried following install instructions, but having problems, as well as ANT. thank you very much for all your help, rcobb3...@gmail.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Android apps
I have been trying to get Eclipse to work, but it always comes back and says that ANT cannot be found. Apache Ant is in the path: C: \Documents and Settings\TheMan\Desktop\apache-ant-1.7.1-bin\apache- ant-1.7.1\bin. I was looking around the internet and found a program that is called DrJava. Know very little about what I'm doing and trying to figure out how android works(and works with Eclipse), it seems that DrJava is a better solution. A few questions though: 1. Can apps for the G1 be done in the Java language ONLY. And if that is TRUE, does that mean that you would loose some functionally by not using some of the features included in android? 2. And once the app works in DrJava, would you still have to run it through Eclipse in order to submit it to the market?? And another completely un-related question: Is android similar to say C++, whereas in the start of the file you INCLUDE libraries that are referenced during the executation of the app? If true, then is there some type of standard header info that can be copied and pasted into the android app? And last one: I tend to think of classes as having a particular name. i.e FAMILY, where you could have a mother,father,sons,daughters,animals, etc. And each one would have a name associated with it (mother = "Jane", father = "Bill", son = "Little Billy" etc. Is this a way to think of what a class is? What is the purpose of VOID? Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it very much.Rc3375 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.

[android-beginners] Re: TOOLS.JAR
To be honest, I'm not quite sure. I'm VERY new with this. I don't have access to my computer at this time, I'm in the transportation business. Whenever there is time, I usually use VisualBasic. I'm starting to figure out that using android can be complex. Trying the example from the ANDROID BEGINNERS BOOK(NOT SURE OF THE TITLE), running from the command prompt is when these errors occurred. So, I'm not sure if I should completely uninstall and remove everything, the directories,files and folders, leaving no trace of android/eclipse ever being there, and starting over. I'm sure that I followed steps correctly, i.e. got the latest ver of android, installed it, got the java info,installed that and rebooted, and got eclipse and rebooted, and tried "hello world". From this, is there anything done wrong, or in the wrong order? And, using android, are these mostly functions? I really appreciate the time and effort for all help, Best Wishes and Regards, RCobb3375 On Jun 18, 10:53 pm, Raphael wrote: > Please explain in more details what you're doing just before you get this > error. > R/ > > > > On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 9:37 PM, Rc3375 wrote: > > > I installed android and eclipse and did the > > "Hello World" deal.

[android-beginners] Re: Problem with Hello World
I just tried the same application.When I first started it, didn't know what to expect..saw a blank window, then a pict of the G1, I thought I needed to turn on the phone, but nothing happened. I too saw the message about the clock, hit STOP,ABORT, or smoething like that, then ANDROID came on my COMPUTER SCREEN, and then about 10 minutes later, I saw "HELLO ANDROID", then after that I changed the string to "HELLO RICHARD", it took about the same amount of time, but it too finally appeared.it just take some time for this to work. Just wish it was faster to respond.
