[android-developers] service stops when phone goes idle

[mnj]

Hi,

I need to run a service at periodic intervals even after phones goes
idle (i.e CPU turn off).
For this I'm scheduling an alarm using Alarm Manager using setRepeating
() API and RTC_WAKEUP flag

But its not working as expected. Only when phone screen is on the
alarm is getting scheduled and service is getting executed. But when
the screen goes off, the service is not getting executed.

code
==
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName( com.mydomain.AlarmSample,
com.mydomain.AlarmSample.myservice );
PendingIntent mAlarmSender = PendingIntent.getService(battMonitor.this,
0, i, 0);

AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
firstTime, delay*1000, mAlarmSender);
==

Do I need ot use PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK to keep the phone from getting
turned off.. If so where should I acquire the lock. Is there any
sample code for WAKE_LOCK.

Regards,
Manoj

[android-developers] Browsing G1 from Windows

[PorkChop]

I have installed the Windows USB drivers, and I was expecting to be
able to access the phone like a removable disk from windows. However,
when I click on the removable drive (E:) I am told 'Please insert a
disk into drive E:' Am I the only one with this problem? Seems it
should be a lot easier to upload music and stuff from my PC. Sorry if
this is the wrong group from this question.

[android-developers] WebView Behavior on Android

[Tez]

Hi,

I have a few questions about the behavior of a WebView

1. When an activity launches a web view, and when the webview displays
a page, is it all in the same thread?
2. When I click on the BACK button in the emulator when the web view
is running, is the process that runs it stopped and cleaned up?

Cheers,
Earlence

[android-developers] Re: Browsing G1 from Windows

[PorkChop]

OK..I just discovered the fix on my own, I will post it here in case
someone else is stuck.

When you plug in the cable, top left you will see a notification that
the USB is connected. Pull that down, select it and then choose
'Mount' from the list. The disk is then accessible from the desktop.

[android-developers] Re: Pass state from Activity to Service

[Brad Gies]

You haven't really given enough information for a definitive answer. Are you
calling the following somewhere?

public void startService(){
super.onStart();

But, I would also put an if (b != null) in as the third line to stop the
next exception. 

Can you post your Stack trace or logcat? It should have enough information
to figure out what the problem is.

Sincerely,
 
Brad Gies

[android-developers] Re: Any updates on paid apps timeline?

[NitroDesk]

@Dianne,
You are right, i think part of the reason why the demand for the
ability to release paid apps is high so early on is the fantastic job
that has been done on the SDK, the platform that was picked for the
programmability and in general the confidence developers (even at the
time of release) have on the platform that they will be able to stand
behind the apps they build. A lot of this is testament to the trust
that we as developers place on the platform.

  Comparing Android to iPhone in that way is also a questionable endeavor,
  since the way they were released was very different: iPhone shipped for
  almost a year with no support for third party apps and then released an
  update to add that feature, while Android shipped from the start with third
  party app support.  I can't comment on adoption of the G1 vs. the original
  iPhone, but clearly at this point there is a smaller number of Android
  users, simply because we started from 0 at the point where third party
  developers were supported.  This is something developers should keep in mind
  and certainly isn't being hidden.

  True, but the most distressing part is the inability to distribute
  paid apps on the market, even with the possibility of charging for
  them offsite.
  I bet this keeps lots of good apps from showing up on the market, and
  worse still, from being developed.

[android-developers] Re: Jumping to #link after using loadDataWithBaseURL()

[Jack C. Holt]

I have googled for strings like WebView internal link, read the
FAQs, and read the online docs for WebView, WebSettings,
WebViewClient, WebChromeClent and still I have not been able to
determine how to make the web pages I have generated (which contain
internal links [i.e., a name tags]) jump to an internal link once
loaded with WebView.loadDataWithBaseURL().

I have even tried turning on javascript in the WebView using the
following code:

WebSettings settings = webView.getSettings();
settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Then I added the following javascript to the end of my generated HTML
(but before the closing /body/html):

script language=javascriptlocation.href=#12;alert('running
javascript')/script

I then load the generated HTML into my WebView using code like the
following:

webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(
content://com.example.app/gen,
generatedHtml,
text/html,utf-8,);

The web page never jumps to the internal link and I never see any
indication that the alert box was sent.  In other words, the
javascript may not be running.

Anyway, I don't really want to use javascript to jump to the internal
link but it is one method I have tried.  I'd rather do it without
javascript anyway.

I noticed another application on the market (called Missed Call) has

There are no plans for exposing in-call audio to the apps processor.
In-call audio is controlled by the radio and typically not accessible
to the apps processor.

[android-developers] Re: imeem and buffering audio with MediaPlayer

[Dave Sparks]

I haven't looked at imeem, but one way to get around the issue is
using an HTTP proxy on the device. The proxy server could be buffering
up the next stream while the current stream is playing.

On Dec 30 2008, 11:37 pm, Dan McGuirk mcgu...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi,

 I'm wondering if anyone knows how the imeem application is handling
 its streaming audio.  It seems to be able to buffer the entire track
 as quickly as possible, as well as buffering the upcoming track before
 it is played.

 As far as I can tell from reading several other threads here, that is
 only possible by writing the track to a file and then pointing the
 media player at the file.  But I'm watching df pretty closely and I
 don't see the space used on any of the partitions going up as it
 buffers.  Is the data hiding somewhere?

 Another possibility that was raised was that you could do this using a
 file descriptor associated with a socket, sort of like in this
 example:

 http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...

 But apparently this doesn't work--I'm guessing maybe because the
 MediaPlayer tries to seek on the fd to determine its length?
 (Guessing based on its behavior with normal files that are appended to
 after it starts playing.)

 Is there some other possibility?  Obviously the imeem folks have it
 working well somehow, but I don't quite get how.  Some of the other
 threads I've read seem to be telling me this isn't quite possible
 (links below).

 If I just pass URLs to MediaPlayer one after the other in the normal
 way, there's way too long of a delay (10+ seconds) between tracks.
 That's too long; long enough for the user to start thinking, Why
 isn't this working?, pick up the phone and double-check it, etc.  So
 I need some way to start buffering an upcoming track in advance (maybe
 create a second MediaPlayer and call prepareAsync() early...  although
 this seems messy, and it can't be what imeem is doing).

 Thanks for any help.

[android-developers] Re: Receive notification for onDestroy, onStop, and onPause etc in other applications?

[Alistair.]

Maybe your best best is to have a root around the Activity source code

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/app/Activity.java;h=eafb0488490fd144fa6fac15cbd303dfd93eb894;hb=HEAD

Having said that the base activity doesn't seem to be signalling these
methods in any way so I think your plain out of luck.

   I see there's a READ_LOGS permission and guess this might be achieved

[android-developers] Re: imeem and buffering audio with MediaPlayer

[Clay]

ooh thats an interesting idea.

On Jan 2, 9:32 am, Dave Sparks davidspa...@android.com wrote:
 I haven't looked at imeem, but one way to get around the issue is
 using an HTTP proxy on the device. The proxy server could be buffering
 up the next stream while the current stream is playing.

  Hi,

  I'm wondering if anyone knows how the imeem application is handling
  its streaming audio.  It seems to be able to buffer the entire track
  as quickly as possible, as well as buffering the upcoming track before
  it is played.

  As far as I can tell from reading several other threads here, that is
  only possible by writing the track to a file and then pointing the
  media player at the file.  But I'm watching df pretty closely and I
  don't see the space used on any of the partitions going up as it
  buffers.  Is the data hiding somewhere?

  Another possibility that was raised was that you could do this using a
  file descriptor associated with a socket, sort of like in this
  example:

 http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...

  But apparently this doesn't work--I'm guessing maybe because the
  MediaPlayer tries to seek on the fd to determine its length?
  (Guessing based on its behavior with normal files that are appended to
  after it starts playing.)

  Is there some other possibility?  Obviously the imeem folks have it
  working well somehow, but I don't quite get how.  Some of the other
  threads I've read seem to be telling me this isn't quite possible
  (links below).

  If I just pass URLs to MediaPlayer one after the other in the normal
  way, there's way too long of a delay (10+ seconds) between tracks.
  That's too long; long enough for the user to start thinking, Why
  isn't this working?, pick up the phone and double-check it, etc.  So
  I need some way to start buffering an upcoming track in advance (maybe
  create a second MediaPlayer and call prepareAsync() early...  although
  this seems messy, and it can't be what imeem is doing).

  Thanks for any help.

[android-developers] Re: Service will not stay running

[Dianne Hackborn]

Your saying the parent activity is killed and the service stops running
sounds like you are trying to keep the service running by binding to it from
an activity.  If so, that defeats the purpose of the service.  If you want a
service to remain running on its own, you need to use startService().

Otherwise, you can try using adb shell dumpsys activity.services to see
the state of your service.  As long as you have called startService() and
not stopService(), it should be listed there with information about its
current condition.

[android-developers] Re: How can i access System directory in an emulator ??

[Dianne Hackborn]

Why do you want to run your own instrumentation against apps in the system
directory?  Anyway, as you say, you need to be signed with the same
certificate as the app your are running your instrumentation against.  It's
not really a matter of being installed in the system dir.  If you don't own
the target app enough to be able to sign your instrumentation with the same
certificate, then you can't run instrumentation against it, and it is very
much designed to be that way.

 From what I can tell I believe your options are use a UK or US 
publishing company who in turn can list on Market, or try and build your 
own presence and use something like Mogees and distribute through the 
app directories which will allow you to (and hopefully help to make 
people aware of the alternative app directories :)).

[android-developers] Re: How To Start a RTSP connection

[Jason]

According to this thread: 
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/a68113ee42f62353
there are issues streaming with the emulator, so you may have to test
on a G1 device.

Also, I've been able to play back the video RTSP streams from
http://www.americafree.tv/

For example - this works on my G1:

private VideoView mVideoView;
...
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.MainVideoView);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(rtsp://video2.americafree.tv/
AFTVHorrorH26496.sdp));
mVideoView.start();

You could probably do the same thing with the MediaPlayer class, but
it was easier for me to use a VideoView since I was playing back
video.

[android-developers] How can we restart an Activity properly?

[Toothy Bunny]

Hi All,
I created a restart() method to restart an Activity, there are some
reasons for us to do this since there are some thing that we can not
do unless we make the Activity completely restarted, for example, if
the SurfaceView is created in GPU memory and we want to move it back
to normal memory, than we have to restart the Activity.
Anyway, the following cod is our implementation of restart():

public void restart(String commandLineArguments)
{
Intent intent = new android.content.Intent();
intent.setClass(this, this.getClass());  //We will start the
Activity itself, not any other
this.startActivity(intent);
//this.finish(); //I need to remove this
line, otherwise the new Activity will just live for a short moment.
}

The code is almost same as the SDK sample cod from Forwarding.java
except the last line this.finish(). If we have this line, then the
newly started Activity will be shut down too (why?). After I
eliminated this line, a new Activity is started successfully but the
old activity is still inside of the Activity Stack, as the result,
there going to be numbers of instance of same Activity in the Activity
stack.

So the question is: how to properly kill previous Activity in the
newly launched Activity? Or, in other words, how can a Activity knows
who launched me? and need to terminate it I tried to use Intent, but
could not find a suitable function.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

[android-developers] Re: suggestion. replace onActivityResult(), Request Code and Result Codes with flexible callbacks

 Something like Anil is suggesting is probably eventually going to be
 essential for the platform as without it re-using 3rd party activities
 is problematic.

 Imagine a case where from your activity you want to invoke two
 different 3rd party activities to do some particular tasks and give
 you back results.  It's possible both those activities might use the
 same requestCode and resultCode values, meaning that in your
 onActivityResult() method, you're going to have a hard time figuring
 out what actually happened.

 There's a post on the developerLife blog where the author basically
 implemented what Anil is suggesting in his own Activity 
 sub-class:http://developerlife.com/tutorials/?p=302

 While this works, it re-purposes the requestCode parameter which
 should represent the verb (Add, delete, whatever) to instead be a
 unique identifier for the request.  It would be better if the
 framework provided direct support for this.

There is currently no plan for doing this kind of thing, because it is
extremely problematic to deal with the case when the activity's process 
is
killed and restarted between startActivityForResult() and eventually
receiving the result.

If this is something you really want, you are welcome to work on a patch
you can contribute to add the feature.  On the priority list of the 
people
currently working on the platform, though, it is very low because:

(1) Given the processing killing issue, an API as simple as being 
described
is impossible to do, so it would need to be more complicated, making its
utility unclear.

(2) Whatever desired API there is can just as easily be implemented by
the application, it doesn't need to be done in the framework.  There is 
very
little additional capabilities the framework has to do this, except 
possibly
the chance to change the result from an int to a string (and so being 
able
to make it say a class name that it dynamically instantiates when 
delivering
the result).

Suggestion: modify API so that calling startActivityForResult() will

instead startActivityForResult(callbackMethodName).

where callbackMethodName is a method. We could simply use a String
rather
than Method, to keep things simple.

callbackMethodName(Bundle result) {
}

If an error happens in the sub activity, then the exception that is
thrown,
is delivered to callbackMethodName() which must contain an empty try
block
at the beginning.
try{
} catch(e1){
handle exception e1 thrown in the call to the sub activity
} catch(e2) {
handle exception e2 thrown in the call to the sub activity
}
now other normal code in callbackMethodName()

Any other result information is communicated by the Bundle result
parameter.

Just want to add one more thing:
I printed out the instance count by this.getInstanceCount(), the
result is that the instance count is increased once the restart() is
called, like 1, 2, 3, ..., which means the old instance is not killed.
We need to kill the old instance in the newly restarted Activity.

 certificate as the app your are running your instrumentation against.  It's
 not really a matter of being installed in the system dir.  If you don't own
 the target app enough to be able to sign your instrumentation with the same
 certificate, then you can't run instrumentation against it, and it is very
 much designed to be that way.

   Perhaps if you can better describe what you are trying to do and which

   you.

[android-developers] Re: Could Chinese developper register Android market?

[Shane Isbell]

You guys should really take a look at SlideME: http://slideme.org. We are
rolling out paid app support next week and SlideME is much more favorable to
the developer than the Android Market. For example, excluding taxes, a $2
app sold from the Android Market, after carrier cut and the Google Checkout
transaction, you would retain only 58% of the sale price. With SlideME, you
will retain 92.5% of the sale.

 So lets get back to the original question. How are developers in
 countries like Norway expected to get paid for their application
 through the Google Marketplace with Google's solution? Are we just
 going to sit and wait and hope Google will think about us? Or do we
 have to establish a UK company?

Sounds like a personal choice to me. Either you choose to wait for Google or
you don't.

This is false. As we've said, developers will receive 70% of the Android
Market revenue for their apps, when billing is available.

[android-developers] Re: Could Chinese developper register Android market?

[Shane Isbell]

I'm just cranking the basic math, but if you guys at Google imply you aren't
charging anything for Google checkout, then great!

The conclusion being the same, numbers different: 70% vs 92.5% for a $2 app,
and we can sell apps to Chinese customers and remit funds to Chinese
developers. Same for Israel. No $25 signup fee. This means that SlideME's
Marketplace puts more money in the developer's pocket (In the case of
Margaret and EvgenyV  it would be 0% under the Android Market).

[android-developers] Tutorial on searching in MapView

[BarbieDahl]

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know of a tutorial or code example that shows how to use
the search functionality that works so well on the google maps but I
want to do something similar in my android app.  I saw a new cool app
called dinefinder where the app launches with a mapview that has the
pins laid out pointing to different restaurants that the user can
click and get additional information.  I wonder if anyone has code
samples on how to get the restaurant data from the map search?? Also,
I see that the Maps on the G1 has a Search and Directions menu options
and I wanted to see how to add something like that in my google app.
Does anyone know or any code samples for this??

Thanks,
BarbieDahl

[android-developers] http proxy

[kpowerinfinity]

Hi,

Is there a way to set the http proxy behind a wifi network? I looked
around but couldn't find any option. Even a non-authenticated proxy
setting will do. There's no way to do this in the settings page, and I
could neither find any app that let's me do this.

Thanks, Krishna.

[android-developers] Re: Customizing ListAdapter

[Sarath Kamisetty]

Hi,

The examples in the blog are using ViewInflate class, however I can't
find this class in the SDK API reference.

http://code.google.com/android/reference/classes.html#letter_V

Is this deprecated ? Eclipse is also complaining about this.

Thanks,
Sarath

 Hi,

 I have a ListActivity for which I am setting up ListAdapter like below:

 phoneListAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
 R.layout.contacts_list_row,
   managedCursor, new String[] { PhonesColumns.NUMBER,
 PhonesColumns.TYPE},
   new int[] { R.id.text1, R.id.text2 });
 setListAdapter(phoneListAdapter);

 However, the output here is not readable as PhonesColumns.TYPE is
 displaying number strings like 2, 1 etc. A sample output that I get is
 like below:

 111-222- 2
 222-333- 1

 I want to make it more readable by converting them to Mobile,
 Home, Work etc. A sample desired output list is like below:

 111-222- MOBILE
 222-333- WORK

 Essentially, I don't want the columns to be displayed as is. How do I
 achieve this ?

 There are two ways to approach this: as a data problem, or as a view
 problem.

 As a data problem, you could create your own CursorWrapper class that
 wraps your managedCursor and converts PhonesColumns.TYPE into something
 more user-friendly.

 I tend to look at this as a view problem, so I create a custom adapter
 that creates my own views, where I can make 2, 1 be MOBILE, WORK or
 different icons or whatever I feel like. I have a whole series of blog
 posts up on this topic:

 http://androidguys.com/?s=fancy+listviews

 Forgive the formatting, and be aware that the older posts are for the M5
 SDK and so need some tweaking to work on the current SDK.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I mean how to write code to uninstall apk from 
device/emulator, not in an interactive commander line or shell. With SDK0.9, 
there's a method, packagemanager.deletePackage(), but with SDK1, that method is 
removed. I wonder how to uninstall apk with SDK1.
