[android-beginners] Re: HELP: A Verizon Droid puzzle.
Hi Chris Was that a Motorola Droid running on Verizon in the US? ...and did the UI say something like 1 minute ago a minute after making a call (zero second call will do) without you clicking on the Widget? If so, it looks like I have a smaller cluster than I thought. Thanks for the test.

Hi, You can subclass View or Button and implement onDraw. There you will have a Canvas, that you can use for your painting. You can use the onTouchEvent or the onTouch-listener to take care of the touches. Good luck!

[android-beginners] Re: Help with sound aplication
So your app is going to be a simple waveform synthesizer. BUT... without a velocity sensing keyboard, you cant get a piano sound... you will get an organ sound... the tone starts when you press the key, and stops when you get a key up. You can impose an Attack Sustain Decay Release envelope on each note, but every note will sound the same whether you hit the touch screen real hard, or real soft. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Help with sound aplication
You have to look into the media player API in Android i.e.android.media.MediaPlayer; android.media.MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener . Here it is: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/package-summary.html And that is how you play a sound on firing a click listener: private OnClickListener btnDontBeStupidListener = new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { //Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), Don't Be Stupid audio file is being played, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(iMEvil.this, R.raw.stupid); //mp.start(); try { mp.start(); //mp.release(); }catch(NullPointerException e){ Log.v(MP error, e.toString()); } mp.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener(){ // @Override public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer arg0) { mp.release(); } }); } }; Hope this helps.

After signing in, an icon displaying a 3G and up/ down arrows displays besides the signal strength icon, and the up arrow blinks a few times (never the down arrow) and then an error is shown. Is there anything else I need to do? Regards --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Help! I get this error message concerning the AVD
Hello all, yes it looks like there's a bug in the emulator where it can't deal with those characters in the path. To fix this you can override the location where all the android tools look for those files. create a system wide environment variable called ANDROID_SDK_HOME and containing a path that doesn't include those non ascci char. The android tools will create a .android folder in it, and the emulator will access it too. We'll see about fixing the emulator too.

Thanks for the replies. Two more questions... 1) When the activity is started from the main activity, I would want the user to click a button to indicate they have finished, and to return to the initial activity again. What's the best way to ensure that the original one is displayed as before? 2) My original question was actually more directed towards the device, rather than from a programming point of view. I was wondering how, on the device, you can see what is running - like for example in Windows where you can see all the applications in the taskbar, or even the list of apps in the task manager.

[android-beginners] Re: Help with Activites
1) When an activity is started from another, to the best of my knowledge, the only way to get back to the original activity is to use the back button on the device (assuming the activity is not one you created). If the second activity is one you created, then you could probably place a button on it that simulates the behavior of the back button. 2) Android does not have anything built into the OS that allows you to see what is running. The only built-in way to switch between running applications is to launch it again they way it was initially launched. However, there are several apps that you can download that provide this functionality, and I am working on one myself. Thanks, Justin -- There are only 10 types of people in the world...

[android-beginners] Re: Help with Activites
You can use the ActivityManager class to get a list of activities that are considered to be running by Android. In actuality they are paused, since you can only have one running activity at a time. You can also get a list of running processes via the ActivityManager class. Unlike activities, processes actively run in the background.

Are you sure you added android SDK path do you PATH environment variable? Optionally, you may want to add the location of the SDK's primary toolsdirectory to your system PATH. The primary tools/ directory is located at the root of the SDK folder. Adding tools to your path lets you run Android Debug Bridge (adb) and the other command line tools http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/index.htmlwithout needing to supply the full path to the tools directory.

[android-beginners] Re: Help with threading and UI changes
Ah, I can't believe I did that. Sorry about that and thanks for your advice. The error was that eclipse kept telling me I was providing the wrong context. And, that the method with such a signature didn't exist. It wouldn't let me even compile the code (let alone run it). Somehow the same code works now without any changes. Although, I added the other activity to my manifest file so maybe that was the issue. I will take a look at the other methods you suggested. - Moazzam On Jul 24, 6:42 am, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.com wrote: moazzamk wrote: I have a function in my activity that starts a new thread and that threads send a message back to an event handler.

[android-beginners] Re: Help with Services
Sujay, It sounds like you have your own activity starting the UploadActivity? If so, and if startActivityForResult() always returns the same value, regardless of whether the upload was successful or not, then I think you will have to do the upload on your own. AFAIK, you cannot make a service that you do not own talk to an activity that you do own. IPC is (again, only as far as I know) a two way street, both parties have to be interested in setting up the binding or it does not occur. However, that being said - how about you link us to where you found this UploadActivity? The docs on it might have some insight. Also, have you been testing what it returns when you do not successfully upload? It may just be returning the same value because it always succeeds, so be sure to make it fail and see what happens - perhaps kill the internet connection midway?

[android-beginners] Re: Help with layout views and Canvas'
If you want a linear set of buttons use a LinearLayout. If you want a grid, simply put a TableLayout in your XML with several TableRow inside. You can use ImageButton to have a button with an image in the middle (use the src attribute). All the widgets derive from View, which has a background attribute so you can change the background to an image or a gradient on any of your widgets.

I want to create an area seperate of this imageview that will also display a background image, and then, multiple images atop that background image at specific locations. I will eventually want these images to be clickable. From reading many an article it seems that the way to display an image at a specific location and do all sorts of fancy stuff with it is by using a canvas. but this doesnt appear to be a valid viewtype in the layout xml. I found a basic tutorial that created a drawview class, which I managed to work in, but it only allows me to have either that layout, or the one in my xml file. I've tried inserting this class into my main.xml by following this tut http://www.anddev.org/creating_custom_views_-_the_togglebutton-t310.html but it doesnt seem to work.

I have a working setup going, using 1.5 SDK. Next, I've checked out the MMS app from the Android sourcecode repository git. Loading the MMS source code base into eclipse as an Android project results in many compilation errors and I'm having trouble moving on from here. It appears that a lot of the import statements in the MMS Classes are referencing files that don't exist. for example there is no android.provider.Calendar class in the SDK, but the MMS sourcecode seems to think there is. I was under the impression that Android native apps were no different than any other developer apps, so shouldn't their sourcecode compile like any other? I thought it may also be an SDK version thing, but it doesn't seem to compile under v1.1 or 1.5 of the SDK. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

[android-beginners] Re: Help! Android Prob.
I've faced the same thing: emulator starts to load, but gets stuck on the android logo screen. The simplest way to make it work - just close the emulator and run a sample that should 100% work. Hello world sample generated by eclipse's add-on will definitely work. Right after you got your emulator loaded - try running your applications.

Just to be sure, use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() instead of referring directly to the the sdcard file directory. - Juan T.

Hi, It is not easy to 'damage' R.java file. Do you see error (exc. mark) on your png file in res folder? Did you make sure that your filename is correct?

Turns out the automatically R did not have the right package attached. I needed my package.blah blah.R but the one that was automagically added was an R but not of my package.

[android-beginners] Re: help getting started
Unfortunately, the getting started docs don't help you trouble shoot installing JDK 5 or 6, or Eclipse. My issue involves the installation of these two apps on Vista, which is probably my problem. My first issue was with eclipse, when I ran the app (from my desktop) it failed to find ../eclipse/jre/bin/javjw.exe file, so I simply copied the jre directory from my java install into the eclipse folder. When I ran eclipse again, I got an app exit code of -1 (whatever that means) and some more jargon about needing java version 1.5 (i had 1.6), so I downloaded 1.5 but I don't think it's compatible with Vista because it wouldn't install. I found some answers on the internet about adding the java bin directory path to the classpath variable under the environment variables, but no luck. Is there a way to get the vista compatible versions of jdk and eclipse and is there a certain order to installing them and android? Thanks.
