I don't think that would work. You'll need to manually serialize the items.

I've read that you can Override the onSaveInstanceState and store your

Am I on the right path or am I doing something wrong?

[android-developers] Re: Saved Instance State and ListViews
The list is pulled from a remote feed over the web, so I was trying to prevent having to reload the listview via another web pull. Basically I just want the application to save everything and then restore itself when the user changes orientation, instead of having to make another full call back data source.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemoryError when switching orientation
Then you should check carefully where exactly you pass your Activity (or Context) to other classes/APIs, etc. The Context is used by many different classes in the Android framework and if you somehow leak the Context, you leak all the views, images, etc. Your issue is very similar to several issues we fixed over the past few months: on each rotation the Context leaks and everything leaks with it. You can use DDMS to check how the heap is growing after each rotation, it should tell you whether this is the problem or not.

[android-developers] Re: getLatitudeSpan, getLongitudeSpan, getHeight, getWidth errors
Thank-you, this makes sense.
What is the best way to wait for an activity to be laid out? Should I
set a listener (if so which listener), use multi-threading, or another
alternative?
The multi-threading option seems redundant to me because the map
rendering is occurring in the UI thread and I just want to know when
its done rendering hence I just want to setup a listener.

[android-developers] HttpClient, URLConnection, settings, etc...
ensure that uses-permission is inside manifest, too, not inside application. i've had problems using URLConnection directly - with short transfers i could reproducibly get SOCKETLOG add_recv_stats 0 log error messages, accompanied by nothing being delivered to the Android app. i switched to using Socket or HttpClient, and everything worked fine. URLConnection should work though IMHO. Make sure you have the android.permission.INTERNET Uses Permission in your AndroidManifest.xml file to enable your app to access the internet. I don't know of any preference between HttpClient and URLConnection (I'd also be happy to know if one of them is preferred). There's an apps-for-android project which contains app samples created by Google's Android team. I haven't examined them in-depth, but I'm sure they have some pretty good usage examples. From just a quick browse, this class might be a useful reference for you: http://code.google.com/p/apps-for-android/source/browse/trunk/Translate/src/com/beust/android/translate/Translate.java Good Luck, Amos On Oct 9, 12:54 pm, Jasp182 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have tried to call out to the web using both HttpClient and URLConnection, and I get unknown error in both cases at the point the call is actually made (HttpClient.execute() or URLConnection.getContent() methods).

[android-developers] Re: Getting GPS Strength ?
seyeysyesyes Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 15:07:09 -0700 Subject: [android-developers] Re: Getting GPS Strength ? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: android-developers@googlegroups.com Great :) Thats what I've been searching for. So did you find a constant for 'satellites' ? On 2 Okt., 06:12, Ludwig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The onStatusChanged() method for the LocationListener interface has a Bundle as a third parameter. From the LocationManager documentation: The extras Bundle for the GPS location provider can contain the following key/value pairs: - satellites - the number of satellites used to derive the fix That is AFAIK the only hook into more details from the GPS receiver, which is not much and for any real purposes pretty useless. And it is optional, so you cannot rely on it. Furthermore, I have no idea on how to get the Emulator provide any information of this sort. Pushing in a GPX file with DDMS gives me two calls to onStatusChanged: one at the beginning when no GPS information is available (the flag tells me that the GPS is temporarily unavailable), then when I start playing the GPX file it tells me it is available. But there is nothing in the bundle. The GPX file does not contain such information so I am not surprised. Maybe Google can tell us if there is a way to get satellite information to show in the Emulator. I can only say that the nicest thing to have on a physical device will be some access to the NMEA messages as only information of that detail can give a real idea of accuracy. (Just in case some GPS manufacturers are listening: build an Android enabled device, make NMEA message available over some Listener interface and hundreds of Android programmers will write all the software for you.) Ludwig 2008/10/1 Nikkelitous [EMAIL PROTECTED] The best thing I can see is getAccuracy() in android.location.Location. It unfortunately doesn't return how many GPS satellites it's seeing but is a more abstract result gathered from all details of the connections. This, I assume would include the number of satellites their strength and other details. But unless theres a hidden API I don't think we can really get that data just yet. I'd say file it as a feature request but for most purposes getAccuracy() should be sufficient. If you're looking for specific number for something else, why don't you post it and we'll brainstorm and try to figure out a way to do what you want.On Sep 28, 10:56 pm, plusminus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hey guys, is there any possibility to get the Strength/Reliability/Quality ofthe current GPS-signal ?i.e. the number of satellites the gps-receiver is 'seeing' ?

From the emulator keyboard command docs: Switch to previous layout orientation (for example, portrait, landscape) KEYPAD_7, F11 Switch to next layout orientation (for example, portrait, landscape) KEYPAD_9, F12 These don't seem to work on a Mac. Normally the F11 and F12 keys are already mapped to expose and dashboard, but even if you turn those off, it just beeps at you. While I can test the resulting orientations from the command line arguments, it's looking like I have no way to test change of orientation via the emulator.

[android-developers] Android FreeTTS server interfacing, a speech solution for your projects
Hi, Due to many question about a interfacing with FreeTTS or speech generation, I decided to open source a part of my ADC I project. It is intended to be used for all of you who wants to get a text to speech system in yours developments. Android-freeTTS reads from a Free TTS server a file that can be executed in the android application in order to get speech. Code has been ported to 1.0 Android SDK. I put a sample hello word in order to see the results of a speech generation. Many bugs can be found, but the idea is to give you a basic speech generation in order to be included in your developments in others ADC's Projects are Eclipse projects, maybe you must add JDK System library in your projects. A documentation file is supplied. Please read the howto section. (IP address and other things must be configured before you use this). Hope it helps you, if not, sorry!.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/freettsandroidi/ Thanks --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Using getDrawingCache() with MapView
getDrawingCache() will work only if you either enable the drawing cache on the View or call buildDrawingCache() first. If you do this manually make sure to disable/destroy the drawing cache when you are done. Otherwise, every time the view is invalidated, it will have to update the drawing cache. This is bad for Views that invalidate often, like MapView. Because the drawing cache API is a bit difficult to use properly, I recommend you instead simply create your own Bitmap, create a Canvas for that Bitmap and then call view.draw(canvas).

In my ViewGroup there is a dispatchDraw(Canvas) routine, but it seems to me like I want to call getDrawingCache() after or during the MapView draw() routine. Does anybody know much about getDrawingCache()? I cannot find a good example online or in the ApiDemos. Ideally I would like to be able to do this for any View. -Marc -- Romain Guy www.curious-creature.org --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Emulator Orientation Change on Mac
First, boilerplate answer, you can use $ emulator -help-keys to get an up-to-date list of hotkeys in the emulator. You didn't mention if you're on a laptop or mac desktop. I know that the keyboards are somewhat different. I can only answer for laptops because I'm using my laptop right now to test this. One solution is to press fn and type 7. This works because on a macbook, there is a virtual numeric keypad (you can see a small set of numbers, 0..9, on the keys). The other solution is to type ctrl-F11. This was put in to provide an option for mac laptop users. Hope these help. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Dynamic Overlay
How do I update a map dynamically either as the user moves the map.
I tried to use the below code but the map does not display the data
from server
protected class SitesOverlay extends ItemizedOverlayOverlayItem {
private ListOverlayItem items = new ArrayListOverlayItem();
private Drawable marker = null;
public SitesOverlay(Drawable marker) {
super(marker);
this.marker = marker;
populateFriends();
}
@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
return (items.get(i));
}
public synchronized void populateFriends() {
// get it from server
items = //Getting data from server here
super.populate();
}
@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean
shadow) {
super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);
boundCenterBottom(marker);
}
@Override
protected boolean onTap(int i) {
showDialog(i);
return (true);
}
@Override
public int size() {
return (items.size());
}
}

[android-developers] Re: REQUEST: Android Eclipse plugin option to define compiling and packaging arguments
Sure, only this option should work for me...but I might be required to set another special argument, we never know :) Adriano Crestani On Oct 10, 1:06 am, Stoyan Damov [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 9:46 AM, Adriano Crestani [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Google Android Developers, I'd like to request a new version of Android Eclipse plugin which contains an option to define the compiling and packaging arguments.

In my case I need to define the --core-library argument. et tu? :) I'll be fine if there's just that option, I can live w/o the ability to pass params to dex.
