[android-beginners] Re: communication between android phone and pc using 3G network

2010-03-11 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)
IP connectivity from a cellular data network to for example your home
network is not straight forward

Be aware of the following:

+ your cellular 3G IP address might be NAT'd (important when you try
to reach the mobile device)
+ your home network IP address is not public reachable (if this is the
case try to place your home ip address in a DMZ zone ~possible
security risks!!!)

Q1: How does your phone know about your home ip address (manually
configured)?
Q2: Can you ping your home network from outside your LAN?

[android-beginners] Re: wifi configuration

2009-11-24 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)
Before calling the addNetwork you want to create a WifiConfiguration.
The configuration below is for an open Wifi.


WifiConfiguration wifiConfiguration = new
WifiConfiguration();
wifiConfiguration.SSID  = YOUR_SSID;
wifiConfiguration.BSSID = YOUR_BSSID;
wifiConfiguration.hiddenSSID= false; //if
it's not hidden
wifiConfiguration.priority  = 1;
wifiConfiguration.status=
WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED;
wifiConfiguration.allowedKeyManagement.set
(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.NONE);


After this adding the network configuration should be successful.

[android-beginners] Re: Network down issue

2009-11-24 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)
Hi Ali,

I assume that the getInputStream call is blocking after it is called
and you don't have an internet connection. You might end up in a
deadlock situation.

In case of losing internet connectivity I would have another thread
running which acts on connection state changes.

By the way Android is supporting the Selector class which is similar
to the Posix select.  Get some understanding of the Selector class at

When you write the file on the sdcard, you can always start a timer
and check for the current file size. Another possibility is to count
the number of bytes which you are writing in each write step.

[android-beginners] Re: File transfer over phones

2009-11-18 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)
Hi John,

Could you explain or rephrase your question

"How exactly do I tell another phone to do a specific task(IE access a
webpage)?"

Q: Also how do I send a file from one phone to another?
A:You can use an existing ftp implementation or write your own ftp
like protocol (read the ftp RFC to get an idea what is needed)

Q:  Once the clients connect to the server, I am stumped as to how I
will get the server to tell the clients what to do.
A: As I already mentioned, you should read the FTP rfc to get an idea
which commands you need. Also check out the FTP application
http://www.lysesoft.com/products/andftp/index.html which gives you an
good idea about possible functionality.

The output of the commands looks fine to me. Do you know whether you
need to access the internet over a proxy? If yes, then use also the
proxy settings for the emulator.

+ You could also try to connect to a server which is running locally
in your LAN. For example install Tomcat and try to access the server
using the emulator.

+ What happens if you run the emulator on 1.5 or 2.0?


Let me know if this works.

GPS is not dependent on a carrier network. You could get a prepaid sim

be still able to use the triangulation method in case you don't want

A very fast and easy way to store profile information is using

For more complex and also expandable scenarios (support multiple

[android-beginners] Re: Phone to phone communication

2009-11-09 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)
If you want to use Wifi as radio interface you have the option to

+ setup a client/server infrastructure
+ or use the IP broadcast address

In a client/server setup the server would be the central component
which keeps track of your clients within the wireless LAN. You would
have to implement registration/unregistration. Also a mechanism has to
be implemented whether clients are still alive.

In case of you are using a broadcast IP address, a device could
broadcast a "Hello I am alive" message in your wireless LAN. Each
device which is listening on the broadcast address would receive the
message and would know about the presence of the new device. You could
think of to add to this message the local IP address of the device.
Other devices could use the IP address for direct communication (of
course going over the AP).

2009-11-03 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)
Could you be more specific? Are you trying to connect programmatically
to the Wifi network or do you have this Wifi network configured in
your Wifi settings.

I noticed that after a reboot the phone automatically connects to a
cellular data connectivity. After some time it connects to an already
configured wifi network. If you want to force your phone to connect
much faster to the Wifi network, try to disable to configured APN in
your settings.

In general I am missing in the Android SDK an API which supports the
"preferred radio" interface.

When you add the configuration of your new Wifi network using the API
addNetwork, did you make sure that this API is executed successfully?

You also mentioned that you disable your previous connection. Make

On SDK level you won't find any API support to render your audio

[android-beginners] Re: How to connect through HttpConnection using WiFi for Android?

2009-10-29 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Your HttpConnection code is independent from the type of data
connectivity (whether it's wifi or cellular).
There are no changes needed on your code.

Changes might be needed when the requirements for data connectivity on
Wifi are different than on cellular data. For example it might be that
you are on Wifi behind a firewall and that you have to talk to a proxy
to be able to connect to the internet. In this case you want to make
sure that you correctly  get data connectivity setup in the Wifi
environment you are working in. Your main application code does not
change.

Have you set your path and class path variable?

You can easily find out whether this is set when you try to run

[android-beginners] Re: Radio Transmitter

2009-10-22 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

I assume that you have your own HW which is equipped with a
transmitter/receiver for the range 380-450 Mhz, correct?
Transmitter/Receiver of this range have a reachability of maybe 500
meters max.

It would be helpful if you could give some more information about the
HW you are using and which software support comes with the HW.

Furthermore I suggest to ask your question in the android-porting
group because based on the information I got out of your posts is,
that you have to do some lower level development (accessing the radio
interface of your transmitter/receiver, driver interface,).

The Android platform right now only supports Wifi, cellular and
bluetooth radios. Support of radios in the 433Mhz range would have to
be added.

You cannot check the emptiness of a String using the "=" operator!

You would need to use the equals method which is a method in the
String class

String yourString = someEditText.getText().toString();

if (yourString.equals("") ){

}

[android-beginners] Re: Can a application developed using Android used on any mobile phone type?

2009-10-20 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

In general yes  BUT and the BUT is very very big .

Android is an OS which consists of different parts. Android is based
on Linux which can in general run on whatever platform you could think
of (with some more or less efforts). To be able to communicate with
the HW the Linux kernel uses drivers which are normally developed by
the HW vendor. On top of the Linux kernel you have the Android
framework which uses libraries. Libraries are a set of functionalities
bundled together.
Last but not least Android consists of an application layer. On this
layer you find applications written in Java ( there is something
called NDK, but this might be too confusing).

As you can see, the Android platform consists of different layers. To
be able to run an Android application on devices like iPhone,
Blackberry, ... you would have to port these Android layers or parts
of Android to another platform (which is not trivial).

If you want to do Android development on a mobile device try to get a
device which is Android compatible. If you don't want to spend money,
you can still use your PC and do testing using the emulator which
comes with the Android SDK. But the really first step is to get some
understanding in programming.

[android-beginners] Re: Radio Transmitter

2009-10-19 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

For a wireless paging system you need a transceiver and a receiver.
Both is available in multiple forms on wireless cell phones (Wifi,
cellular, bluetooth, ...)

In case of cellular the SMS has replaced the old paging system. In
general if you want to implement a paging system you would need only
to act on an incoming paging signal (which you can define). In case of
SMS you could act on an incoming SMS messages (define a text pattern
to identify a paging message) and implement your paging logic around
SMS. In case of Wifi a paging system is easy to setup within a LAN. It
will get complicated if you try to support paging outside your LAN
network (network components are required and also you have to deal
with NAT).


In general Android does not support paging with specific APIs but you
can implement a paging system using what Android provides on
functionality.

You can use the onCompletion to restart the Video also if you use a

video)

The method

public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer arg0) {
Log.d(TAG, "onCompletion called");

arg0.start();  // can be also executed in a loop till you are

[android-beginners] Re: difference between CharSequence and strings

CharSequence is an interface which gives you the freedom to implement
for example a String class.

[android-beginners] Re: Playing video in Android not showing the video, playing sound only with a still image

2009-10-13 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

You are using in your code

but you are trying to play a video from web address.

I assume that setVideoPath expects a local path on your file system
(Android documentation is very bad and does not say anything).

Use

Could you rephrase your question?

If you want to drop programmatically a call, you cannot do this
"officially" with the Android SDK.

If you try to get the duration of a call, try to capture Call state
changes.

[android-beginners] Re: How to use the Network Manager?

2009-10-08 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Based on your preferred interface list, I would first do a scan on
Wifi. Look for open Wifi networks to connect without security codes.
Otherwise open a dialog that the user can enter the security
information for the secured network.

If no Wifi network is available turn off Wifi which automatically
triggers to connect to cellular data. Have a broadcast receiver
implemented to check for network changes. When you receive a network
change you can use the code below to find out what your actual network
is.

To find out about your current connection:

ConnectivityManager connection =  (ConnectivityManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connection.getActiveNetworkInfo();
Log.d(TAG,"type:"+networkInfo.getTypeName());

To connect to a wifi network you have to create a WifiConfiguration.
After adding your configuration to the WifiMgr with

   mWifiMgr.addNetwork(wifiConfiguration);

you can connect to the network with

boolean successConnected = mWifiMgr.enableNetwork(inetId, true);

In your broadcast receiver you should receive an intent about the
network status change.

When you are in a LAN you can use the IP broadcast address to send out

Other clients would receive the broadcast and respond back with their

[android-beginners] Re: Integrating G729 codec in mjsip

2009-10-05 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

SipDroid has right now implemented the G711 on Java level. You can use
the current implementation as a guideline for your G729 codec
implementation (how to pass the raw audio to the convert API).

First you should answer the question whether you want to implement
your codec on Java or on native level. Converting raw audio to G711 is
pretty straight forward and not as "expensive" as converting your raw
audio to G729 format (find a native implementation at
http://www.readytechnology.co.uk/open/ipp-codecs-g729-g723.1/).


Be aware of that you can use g729 only for trial purposes. If you try
to sell an app using g729 you need a license!

[android-beginners] Re: Android communication

2009-10-05 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

If you want to communicate within a wireless LAN  (using
infrastructure mode on Wifi) you can come up with your own discovery
protocol.

If you want to communicate outside your locale network, you might want
to use some cloud service which can help with client discovery.

Another option might be Wifi Adhoc. Current Android SDK has no support
for Wifi Adhoc, but you can get it running on platform level (or wait
till it's supported).

[android-beginners] Re: Chosse the connection interface before sending request?

2009-10-02 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

The current SDK does not support Wifi AdHoc. You can enable Wifi-AdHoc
on system level, but you would need to root the phone and write some
JNI wrapper or socket communication to access this functionality from
application level.

Regarding to the support of two interfaces at the same time you also
need to change the platform code. Android SDK right now does not
support multiple interfaces at the same time.

In general you are able to get the things done, but you need platform
changes.

[android-beginners] Re: real-time audio transfer over Wi-Fi

2009-09-29 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Based on your description there are no problems writing such an
application.

My understanding is that your connection is only half-duplex, means
you send the traffic only in one direction. When I mentioned that with
mixing Voip and data traffic in a Wifi network the quality of your
connection could decrease, I wanted to say that in your WLAN there
might be also other systems communicating over Wifi.

Android SDK does not support specifically audio streaming which is
recorded over the mic (there are no APIs for Voip :-( ). You have to
think about the following

+ signaling
+ RTP streaming

For the signaling you can use your own proprietary protocol or an
existing protocol like SIP or XMPP (have a look at SipDroid which uses
MjSIP)

Also SipDroid implements some RTP socket communication which you can
use in your application.

[android-beginners] Re: connect to wifi from Program

2009-09-28 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

When you get disconnected (use networkInfo.getDetailedState() to get
current network state), the API getDetailedState() should tell you
that you are disconnected. Try to scan for available networks
executing

   mWifiMgr = (WifiManager)mContext.getSystemService
(mWifiService);
   mWifiMgr.startScan();

Also implement a broadcast receiver which acts on scan results. For
example add to your onReceive method


 if(intent.getAction().equals
(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION)){

  //Loop through the scan result and get the capability (which
authentication,key management, ...)
  //select a result where the network is open (I assume you don't have
key management information)
  //create a WifiConfiguration
  //add the WifiConfiguration to your WifiMgr using addNetwork
  //enable your new WifiConfiguration using mWifiMgr.enableNetwork


 }

The last step should result in a network state change which you can
capture again in your context receiver.

[android-beginners] Re: How to launch android emulator

2009-09-24 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

You can run the emulator using the Eclipse IDE or via command line.

Follow the instructions on http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.6_r1/index.html
for the latest SDK version.

Make sure that you download the Android package for the correct
platform.

If you add more information what exactly you are doing, this would be
helpful!

[android-beginners] Re: How to connect to the internet behind proxy ?

2009-09-22 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Can you connect with a normal browser to the internet or do you need
already a proxy in your desktop browser?

If you have no proxy configured in your normal browser on your
desktop, there is no need to add any proxy stuff on the Android
emulator.

[android-beginners] Re: Active and deactivate the Wifi Radio

2009-09-21 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Using the WifiLock only makes sure that you keep the Wifi on for your
data connectivity.

If you use WifiManager.setWifiEnabled(boolean ) you are still able to
enable/disable the Wifi transport independently whether you have a
Lock acquired or not.

[android-beginners] Re: real-time audio transfer over Wi-Fi

2009-09-21 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Android gives you the support to do real time audio (Voip) on SDK
level.

As a good example check out the app SipDroid. If you mix Voip traffic
with data traffic,
you might get a different audio quality over Wifi. The reason is that
normal data traffic has different traffic characteristics then Voip
over Wifi.

You will find research papers on this topic which talk about mixing
different traffic types on a Wifi network.

Nope, this is currently not supported in the Android SDK.

You can change the platform code and write your own JNI API to use

What do you mean with "setting up network"?

Right now you can do data connectivity having Wifi disabled. The
emulator is able to simulate 3G data connectivity.

If you try to communicate with a server located on the desktop you
might have to setup port forwarding (look for android port
forwarding).

I assume that the web page is not updated with newer information.

Changes on myTouch

- improved battery life
- system RAM from 192MB to 288MB
- ROM storage from 256MB to 512MB
- Cupcake Android 1.5 firmware
...

and of course the look changed ...

Nope, there is nothing available on Java level. You could try to write
some JNI wrapper to access the interfaces on native level (look in
extern/bluez folder).

[android-beginners] Re: how to import packages in android?

2009-09-11 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

If you have a jar package or  the source code you can always add a
dependency to the project settings.

When you open the properties of your project and check  the Java build
path you can add libraries or Java Projects as additional
dependency.

There are several similar threads about this on the forum. It seems
like you can block incoming calls using what is available on SDK/NDK
level. For example the application Panda firewall gives you the
functionality to block an incoming call. I have not had time yet to
find out how they are doing this. No idea whether they are using the

[android-beginners] Re: Know when Outgoing Call has been answered or whatever state

2009-09-09 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

The current call states which you get on SDK level are


public static final int CALL_STATE_IDLE

Device call state: No activity.
Constant Value: 0 (0x)
public static final int CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK

Device call state: Off-hook. At least one call exists that is dialing,
active, or on hold, and no calls are ringing or waiting.
Constant Value: 2 (0x0002)
public static final int CALL_STATE_RINGING

Device call state: Ringing. A new call arrived and is ringing or
waiting. In the latter case, another call is already active.
Constant Value: 1 (0x0001)
( 
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/telephony/TelephonyManager.html)

It would be nice if the Android SDK could offer a better telephony
support.

[android-beginners] Re: Call to activity problem

2009-09-09 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

For being able to start an activity you need a context.

One possibility is to pass a reference of your application context to
your class from which you want to call startActivity. Something like

class A extends Activity {

  void yourMethodA(){

 ...
 B b = new B(getBaseContext() );
 ...
  }

}

class B{

  Context mContext=null;

  public B(Context context){
mContext = context;
  }

  void yourMethod(){
  .
  i = new Intent(mContext, YourActivity.class);
  i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
  
  startActivity(i);
  }

}

Also check out the API getApplicationContext()

[android-beginners] Re: How to detect the availability of networks programatically in andriod emulator?

2009-09-08 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

I would recommend to play around with the service which Android
currently supports for data connectivity.


private String mWifiService= Context.WIFI_SERVICE;
private String mTelephonyService   = Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE;
private String mConnectionService  = Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE;


Try to write an application which implements a broadcast receiver to
get familiar with the events for the different radios. You find many
blogs and tutorials about how to write a broadcast receiver.

Make sure that you update your manifest file with the permissions and
the broadcast receiver.

Permissions:

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

Dependent on the functionality you want to support you might have to
add some more permissions.

In general Android can only be connected with one network at the same
time, which makes your application pretty easy. If you want to display
the available networks, this is a different story.

The security requirements on your banking application are independent

Based on your requirements you would have to investigate what Android

You can get the APN settings displayed using the activity string

but I did not find out how you can retrieve the APN name via a get

When you uninstall don't use the name of your apk file. You have to
specify the package name of your application.

For example if you have an application called test.apk the package
name of the app might be ownpackage.test.com then uninstall the app
with

adb uninstall ownpackage.test.com

When you create your first Android application you normally have not
to do anything besides creating an Android project. The Eclipse ADT is
going to create all the needed resources for you.

Check the following


 - Your Eclipse:
for example
Version: 3.4.1
Build id: M20080911-1700

 - the Problems-tab in Eclipse editor
 - make sure that ADT is correctly installed

When you select the target for the AVD in the emulator, which one are
you selecting?

Based on the name of your application (mapact) you are using Google
APIs for the map support, correct? Try to use target 3. Also make sure
that in your Manifest you have "uses-library" to include the map
library.

[android-beginners] Re: rssi of multiple wifi networks

2009-09-02 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

I am only aware of getting the signal level after a successful scan
with class ScanResult. You could convert the signal level back to a
RSSI value.

Based on the documentation the class WifiInfo can be used for
connections which are already setup or in the progress of being setup.
You might be able to initiate a connection  and try to get the RSSI
with getRSSI also if you are not able to get connected. I did not try
this yet and for sure it would not be the fastest way.

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity() crash...

2009-09-01 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Justin,

In case of the calendar application the activities







have no action assigned. When you try to start this activities from
SDK level you get the permission error because you don't have the
correct permissions.

When you start the calendar application with

calendarIntent.setClassName
("com.android.calendar","com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity");

the calendar app is brought to the foreground at the last activity it
was. If you left the calendar app in the MonthActivty, it will be in
the monthActivity after executing the command above.

I assumed that you can use the PackageManager to find out about
activities but


  PackageInfo packageInfo = pm.getPackageInfo
(taskInfo.topActivity.getPackageName(), GET_ACTIVITIES);


in case of the calendar application returns NULL.


I noticed that the approach you took works fine for 3rd party apps and
some of the system apps but not all system apps ...

The voice stream for cellular communication is not exposed to the SDK
level. If you try to do some Voip it is possible. But keep in mind
that the SW envryption/decryption is very slow especially using Java.

[android-beginners] Re: Change system time

2009-08-29 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Normally your phone gets the time information from your telephony
layer using NITZ. The Ril layer passes the time information up to the
higher level.

I am assuming that you cannot change the time settings as a normal
user.  You might be able to change the time using the date command as
root, but then you want to make sure that you block that the ril layer
passing up the time information received over the network.

I am not sure whether this is what you want to do

For sure you already found the following page

http://developer.android.com/index.html?utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-bk&utm_medium=ha

Download the Android SDK for your system (Windowsm, Linux or Mac)

I recommend to start playing around with the SDK. You find on the
Android SDK page information how to install and start developing a
HelloWord application which you can test on the emulator.

Of course if you are serious about Android programming get an Android
beginner book.

Most of your up coming beginner questions are answered somewhere on
this forum. But don't hesitate to reach out for help

You should be able to connect to 2G or 3G. If this does not work at

If you are living in an area with bad T-Mobile 3G coverage, also let T-

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity() crash...

2009-08-27 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Justin,

For being able to start up a system application you need to find out
the package name and the activity name.

In case of Calendar app it is

package="com.android.calendar"
activity android:name="LaunchActivity"

which results in the intent

 calendarIntent.setClassName
("com.android.calendar","com.android.calendar.LaunchActivity");


In case of the Calculator

package="com.android.calculator2"
activity android:name="Calculator"

calculatorIntent.setClassName
("com.android.calculator2","com.android.calculator2.Calculator");


You are able to get the activity name with

taskInfo.topActivity  (of course q taskInfo instance is required).

Instead of using Strings, try to use StringBuffer. Normally the usage

By the way for analyzing your code to find out where you spend most of

[android-beginners] Re: Get arguments from another activity

2009-08-25 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

The usage of intents is a little bit more complex and there are
different options available how to communicate between your two
activities.

Try to understand the basics of intents (action, data, ...)

Basics:
 - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html

When you start another Activity you have to decide how you want to
communicate back to the calling activity. Please, get familiar with


Start other activities:startActivity(Intent)  and
startActivityForResult
- http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html)

Also get some understanding how to write your Manifest to use intents
correctly. Check out the following link:

- http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/intent-filter-element.html

It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you want to
implement a simple application using sockets you can try
so setup a server on your desktop and execute the following commands
from the Android device

Socket s = new Socket(");
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream(),
true);
out.println("Hello World");

The server should listen on the port you have specified in your
Android app. If you don't want to implement any server you also can
download netcat. It is a very powerful TCP/IP testing tool.

[android-beginners] Re: startActivity() crash...

2009-08-19 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Justin,

The framework does a check on the permissions of the applications you
are trying to start. In the case of how you are trying to start the
activities the framework does not grant the permission. In general if
you would be root or the owner of the calendar application (in this
case its the system ) you get the permission granted right away to
start the activity.

In your case the check for the permission is not successful because of
the wrong permission is passed down to the framework.

I did not find out what permission you need in your case. But if you
want to spend time investigating the framework code look at
checkComponentPermission()  in frameworks/base/services/java/com/
android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.java


final int perm = checkComponentPermission(aInfo.permission,
callingPid,
callingUid, aInfo.exported ? -1 :
aInfo.applicationInfo.uid);
if (perm != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
if (resultRecord != null) {
sendActivityResultLocked(-1,
resultRecord, resultWho, requestCode,
Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, null);
}
String msg = "Permission Denial: starting " +
intent.toString()
+ " from " + callerApp + " (pid=" + callingPid
+ ", uid=" + callingUid + ")"
+ " requires " + aInfo.permission;
Log.w(TAG, msg);
throw new SecurityException(msg);
}



By the way starting the calendar app in this way does not cause any
exception

Intent calendarIntent = new Intent() ;
calendarIntent.setFlags
(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT );
calendarIntent.setClassName
("com.android.calendar","com.android.calendar.MonthActivity");

2009-08-14 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

In general if you understand one OO programming language then it
should be not a big deal to pick up Java. But it is not a bad idea to
go through some Java tutorials. Sometimes you will be shocked what the
language has to offer which you are not aware of. Another thing what I
recommend to study is to read something about effective Java
programming. When you work on the Android platform the code should
still run on an embedded device. It is important to understand how to
do this with Java

Can you see whether your application is uploaded to the emulator? You

If not let me know what you can see in your console window.

If you are able to successfully start the emulator you could try to
use adb install to install your application manually. Any luck with
this?

[android-beginners] Re: Android UI related:

2009-08-12 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Please, find below a possible way how you could implement the logic.
If you have problems with filling out the missing code, feel free to
contact me.

 - use  button.setText to change the text on a button
 - use  findViewById( ) to change the resource id

public class ButtonSwap extends Activity implements OnClickListener


protected Button button1, button2;
protected boolean mSwitch = true;

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

//button
button1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button01);
button2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button02);
button1.setOnClickListener(this);
button2.setOnClickListener(this);
 ...
}

public void onClick(View v) {
if (v.getId() == button1.getId()) {
Log.d(TAG,"you pressed button 1");

}
else if (v.getId() == button2.getId()) {
Log.d(TAG,"you pressed button 2");
}

mainLogic();
}

void mainLogic(){

Log.d(TAG,"switch:"+mSwitch);

//we swap the text on the buttons

if(mSwitch){
Log.d(TAG,"TRUE");

//change the resource Id for the buttons

}
else{
Log.d(TAG,"FALSE");

//change the resource Id for the buttons

}
mSwitch = !mSwitch;
}

[android-beginners] Re: AVD extremely slow...

2009-08-11 Thread Roman ( T-Mobile USA)

Make sure that you have not too much running on your system. It is not
necessarily the speed of your processor but the memory of your
system.

-- don't use firefox
-- Eclipse might slow down y system (close it ... may be it helps)
-- run emulator via command line
-- if you run on Windows use the task manager to find out what else is
using a lot of memory
