Re: [android-beginners] Lanunch an application at the time of Start up
Hi! You can launch a service at boot time. You need the permission RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED and a BroadcastReceiver that listens to ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED. In Your AndroidManifest you need the following: uses-permission android:name=android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED/ receiver android:name=.BatteryBroadcastReceiver intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED/ /intent-filter /receiver In your BroadcastReceiver you need to override: public void onReceive(Context c, Intent intent) Inside onReceive() you can start your service.

But that assumes that people tag them accurately, so that they CAN be found. That assumption is wildly optimistic: look at how many meaningless variations of the non-descript tag 'android' there are in Stack Overflow. I have yet to find a way to do a meaningful tag-based search in Stack Overflow for an android issue. I doubt there is one. That is why I am not impressed by Google's attempt to shuffle us off into Stack Overflow. Actually, that is only one reason. There are others, but this is the main one.

But just how thorough is this daily walk through? Today, there are 14645 questions tagged 'android'. How do you choose which ones you really look at? Worse yet, some idiot decided there should be ONE tag for 'android- sdk', but then three separate tags for 'android-sdk-2.1', 'android- sdk-2.2' and 'android-sdk-1.6'!

[android-beginners] Re: Database handling - when do you open and close
Ok I tried to find out at which point the service is started and when I can access its database variable.

final Intent databaseServiceIntent = new Intent(this,

this.bindService(databaseServiceIntent, mServiceConnection,

}
Did you mean that? Now it should wait until the mDatabaseBinder is set
which should be in the onServiceConnected() method but that code
results in an endless loop, mDatabaseBinder stays null. Maybe I got it
wrong how the components work together. As far as I understood it, you
have a service running in the background, which returns a binder in
onBind(). The service connection fills the binder
onServiceConnected() so it can be used in the activity to access the
services variables. Is that wrong?

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Database handling - when do you open and close
No, calling Thread.sleep() won't work.
Android framework is largely single-threaded, event-driven.
This means that your application and the framework run on the same
thread, passing control to each other, doing work in small pieces. This
thread is called the UI thread, and blocking it by calling sleep() can
do only one thing - cause the Application Not Responding dialog to appear.
The right thing to do is call bindService, and return from onResume.
You've done your piece of work (responded to onResume, and requested
that Android bind a service). Now you need to give Android a chance to
do its piece of work - by returning from onResume into Android framework
code, which will start the service (if necessary) and bind it, notifying
your callback.
Then it's your turn again - once in the ServiceConnection callback, you
know the service has been bound, and you can talk to the service and
ultimately populate the UI.
So that's basically the scheme with services.
You might also want to look at ContentProviders. They have a few
advantages over Services for this case - their lifecycle is managed by
Android, access is synchronous (using ContentResolver), and they handle
propagating data changes to existing queries / cursors (so if you have a
ListView, its data will be live).

Dear all,

But, the app does not always work as anticipated.
In my app, I need to get the timedifference from when he starts

This time is needed in order to calculate whether he will reach the

current speed is too high.
I will appreciate any help that can guide me in the right direction to
identify the problem: is it due to Java and that it cannot control the

Android 1.5; or is it something much more simple that causes my
problem. Please, send me your input.
I have inserted the most relevant parts of the code below which is
structurized as:
1) gpspos() is the function called when I want to start the routine
(the main app is launched before).
2) initial_time should contain the timesample from when I call the
routine. That is the reason why I set it to zero in the beginning and
then update it the first time the conditions distance_1 radius and
counter_L are fulfilled. These conditions are fulfilled when I call
gpspos().
3) time=location.getTime() is the GPS clock.
4) double spend_time_1_sec = (time - initial_time); determines the
time spend since I called gpspos().
Thank you for your time and helpCKLOCH

[android-beginners] Default values in SharedPreferences
My application is somewhat complex and has lots of settable preferences. Fortunately for the user, there are sensible defaults that I can pre-configure. The SharedPreferences infrastructure includes defaults in preferences.xml, which I have set accordingly. The trouble is that if the user has never changed a particular preference, then SharedPreferences.contains(key) returns false and SharedPreferences.getXXX(key,default) returns the default field. This creates a code management issue for defaults. The default values need to be stored in two different places and kept in sync. Ideally, the SharedPreferences infrastructure could be told to read in the entire preferences.xml file so the SharedPreferences database is loaded with all the initial values. But I haven't found any way to do that. A key-value pair doesn't come into existence in the database until the value is changed in the UI. Second best would be to use the XMLReader to grab the default values, something like this: foo = SharedPreferences.getXXX(key,myDefaultReader(key)); Third best would be to store the defaults in their own file and manage SharedPreferences files and defaults files as pairs. Then on application startup the defaults file would be read and the values propagated into the SharedPreferences database. This is such a generic problem that I'm hoping someone has already solved it and I can get something off the shelf.

[android-beginners] Re: Default values in SharedPreferences
Yeah, that's messy, but it will probably work. One other consideration is what the next version of Android will do about this. It's pretty clear that this is an important missing feature. I expect they'll eventually make a version of getXXX that reads the default value from preferences.xml if there's no key-value pair in the database yet, and throws an exception if no default value is found. From that perspective, it makes more sense to put a wrapper around getXXX and do my own parsing of the default values from preferences.xml. This has the added advantage that addition and removal of new preference keys can happen in the same file where the defaults are defined.

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Default values in SharedPreferences
On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 5:38 PM, Bret Foreman bret.fore...@gmail.com wrote: One other consideration is what the next version of Android will do about this. It's pretty clear that this is an important missing feature. I expect they'll eventually make a version of getXXX that reads the default value from preferences.xml if there's no key-value pair in the database yet, and throws an exception if no default value is found. I can't imagine this would change anytime soon, if at all. I've never found this to be that big of a deal personally. Granted, it's annoying when you have to change the default value, but my suggestion for using resources should solve that. From that perspective, it makes more sense to put a wrapper around getXXX and do my own parsing of the default values from preferences.xml. This has the added advantage that addition and removal of new preference keys can happen in the same file where the defaults are defined. And then when the improved version of getXXX comes out, I can just remove the wrapper. Those are big assumptions about what will or will not happen. Does this code look right for getting at the raw xml data? Seems like overkill. Assuming you're in Activity: InputStream is = getResources().openRawResource(R.xml.preferences); That's it. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Database handling - when do you open and close
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for my late answer. :-)
I tried to get it running as a service but I don't really get how I
have to use services, binders and service connections. I'm reading a
book with an example for services but can't adopt it to my problem.
What I tried is the following:
I created one class for the service, which holds the variable for my
database:
__
public class DatabaseService extends Service {
public DbAdapter mDbAdapter;
private DatabaseBinder mDatabaseBinder = new DatabaseBinder();
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return mDatabaseBinder;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mDatabaseBinder.mDatabaseService = this;
mDbAdapter = new DbAdapter(getApplicationContext());
mDbAdapter.open();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mDatabaseBinder.mDatabaseService = null;
mDbAdapter.close();
}
}
This is my database binder:
__
public class DatabaseBinder extends Binder {
public DatabaseService mDatabaseService;
public DbAdapter getDbAdapter() {
return mDatabaseService.mDbAdapter;
}
}
And this my service connection:
__
public class DbServiceConnection implements ServiceConnection {
DatabaseBinder mBinder;
public DbServiceConnection(DatabaseBinder binder) {
mBinder = binder;
}
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder
binder) {
mBinder = (DatabaseBinder) binder;
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName arg0) {
}
}
If I want to use this in my activity with this:
private DatabaseBinder mDatabaseBinder;
private DbServiceConnection mServiceConnection = new
DbServiceConnection(mDatabaseBinder);
final Intent databaseServiceIntent = new Intent(this,
DatabaseService.class);
this.bindService(databaseServiceIntent, mServiceConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
mDb = mDatabaseBinder.getDbAdapter();
I'm getting a nullpointer exception at the last line. I don't know if
I'm using it right (I guess not :D ), I haven't used services before.
Do you know why it is throwing a Nullpointer exception? Is this the
right way to use a service and bind it in the activity or should I do
it somehow different?
On 19 Jul., 00:30, brucko geoff.bruck...@gmail.com wrote:
Bender,
put your db in a local Service. Open the db in onCreate() close it in
onDestroy(). Your Activities can bind and unbind to the Service as
many times as you like. The system will keep the service running as
long as you have an activity in the foreground process bound to it or
otherwise until it needs to reclaim the resources.
Take a look at :
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/examp...
but DONT have your binder as a non-static inner class as in the
example - or you will create a memory leak and leak your Service.
Instead, pass the binder a reference to your service in onCreate and
get the binder to null the reference out in onDestroy

Re: [android-beginners] Re: Database handling - when do you open and close
Starting / binding to a service is asynchronous. You can't call bindService
and expect it to be already started and bound by the next line.
Call bindService and return control to Android by returning from onCreate or
whatever. Your service connection callback will be invoked a little later,
once the service is started.

Thanks anderson for responding. Apologies for posting a vague question. My issue is like a very common one .. There is no option to set up proxy settings on droid. I have searched and there a like hundreds of post with the same issue. I wanted to know if there has been a kind of hack available by which i can use wifi internet in my university behind a proxy. Not just on browser but also with applications.

Re: [android-beginners] SecurityException in AccountManager.get(mContext).getPassword(account);
Looks like Google has a special process that deals with account
management. Only this process is allowed to get / set account passwords.
It's probably also signed with a special key, which is checked by the
kernel when it's started (guessing here).
If any application was allowed this, think how many web sites would be
offering Google account passwords - 1,000 for $10.-, and 10,000 for
$75.- (a 25% discount! only this month!)

[android-beginners] Re: Google map tiles missing with adb install
Except I don't have a production/release signing key yet. I've only ever generated the debug key, which I also used to generate the maps API key. I'm using the Export wizard in Eclipse with the sign the package box checked and my debug key chosen. I shouldn't be able to even install an unsigned package, right? So the package _is_ signed. And the only app key I have is the debug key. And the only API key I have was generated with that app key and works when the app is loaded on the phone from within Eclipse. It may be a key mismatch, but if it is I can't imagine how to fix it. As far as I can tell, I'm going strictly by the book.

[android-beginners] Re: Google map tiles missing with adb install
That's a fair point. I wasn't planning to generate a production key until I was ready to publish but there's no harm in doing it now. On careful reading of this: http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html#cert there is a sentence that goes You can not publish an application that is signed with the debug key generated by the SDK tools. I suspect export and publish are interchangeable in this case. I was thinking that publish meant placing in the Marketplace.

[android-beginners] Re: Importing a keystore into Eclipse
The keystore is in the .android folder but it does not show in the Export Wizard. I can see keystores that were created by the wizard but can't see any that are built with the keytool. There must be some import step to tell Eclipse about a new key. Something beyond just dropping the keystore into the .android folder. The debug/production key paradigm breaks down as soon as you need the API key for google maps, which must be generated from the application key. I don't notice any automated tool to swap the API keys when you switch application keys. It's all manual - error prone and time consuming, in other words. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Trying to delete google account programmatically from my app.
now i've changed implementation as i came to know that we can access
accounts using AccountManager
Therefore i'm using this code: but this is also not giving any output
not even exception.
AccountManager accountManager =
(AccountManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.ACCOUNT_SERVICE);
android.accounts.Account[] accounts =
AccountManager.get(mContext).getAccounts();
for (android.accounts.Account account: accounts) {
AccountManager.get(mContext).removeAccount(account, null,

Re: [android-beginners] Re: ATTENTION: Android-Beginners will be permanently disabled on August 9 2010
I have to agree with the others. This is a great group, because of the content as well as the fact that it's a mailing list and therefore can be easily monitored. I have received quite a bit of help from this list, as well as learned a LOT by reading everyone else's questions and answers. I also actively read and post to StackOverflow. I feel disabling this list would be more detrimental then beneficial because the ease of getting questions distributed would likely be diminished by the removal of the group. Plus, the android-developers list, which seems to be more suited for seasoned developers will likely begin to be flooded by low level and beginner questions, which may end up being detrimental to that list as well. Please consider leaving this list in operation. If the reasons for disabling the list are related to overhead in administering it, i would gladly offer my services in taking over such tasks in order to keep this group up and running.

I agree with everyone else that has commented on this thread. I have personally receive a fare amount of help from this group. I also have attempted to answer a couple questions.

[android-beginners] Changing WiFi network login
It is my understanding that the WiFi connection is based on only one user for the device. Here is my situation. We have an Android device that can be used by different users.

It is not out of the question you can use this for your aims. I do not know what permissions you need, if any, and I do not know if the API is rich enough for your needs. However, I don't see where any of that will do you any good. Most WiFi access points do not support multiple configurations, one per user, regardless of what your device expects.
