I see. Is there any way you can think of that will enable me to set
the orientation per displayed tab (without wrecking havoc)?
Thanks again for all the help!

Why not just put them in your app's data directory, which nobody else can

[android-developers] SimpleCursorAdapter and setListAdapter problems

2009-03-19 Thread sddandroid

I am trying to fill the data in two text views in a single row (see
xml) and am trying to use SimpleCursorAdapter to do it.  As I
understand the function, it is allowed to take an array of strings and
an array of ids which you see in the list below.  When I run the
application from the phone, it errors out at start (the client view is
the default view to show which is where this function is executed
from).  Can anyone fill me in on what I am missing?

XML
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
TextView
   xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
   android:layout_width=fill_parent
   android:layout_height=60px
   TextView
   android:id=@+id/client_row_title
   android:textSize=20px /
   TextView
   android:id=@+id/client_row_body
   android:textSize=10px /
/TextView


private void fillData(){
   Cursor c = mDbHelper.fetchAllClients();
   startManagingCursor(c);

   // Set Client Row Title
   String[] from = new String[]{ FinanceDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE,
FinanceDbAdapter.KEY_BODY };
   int[] to = new int[] { R.id.client_row_title,
R.id.client_row_body };

   // Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our
row
   SimpleCursorAdapter clients = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
R.layout.client_row, c, from, to);
   setListAdapter(clients);
   }

[android-developers] Re: how to implement scrolling text?

2009-03-19 Thread FBear

I implemented a scrollable TextView, named ScrollTextView before
Android 1.1R1 with the marquee feature for TextView. It used
android.widget.Scroller and attached TextPaint.
Here's the source code:
http://bear-polka.blogspot.com/2009/01/scrolltextview-scrolling-textview-for.html

It's glad to see that marquee is supported.

However you could not make the TextView scrolling if you only set
these 2 attributes, android:ellipsize and android:marqueeRepeatLimit.

According to my testing, at least the following 3 attributes shall be
set:
android:ellipsize=marquee
  android:focusable=true
  android:singleLine=true
And the TextView shall be focused while running.

Moreover, I found 2 limitations in current marquee implementation:

   1. Never scroll if the TextView does not get the focuse;
   2. The scrolling is odd because the round of scrolling begins from
the left side while end at the right side. It looks like the animation
is reset.

So far, I think my implementation of ScrollTextView is better for the
marquee feature. :)

HI,

What is the best way to implement scrolling text (with behavior
similar to that of HTML tag 'marquee')??

I've been trying to do this using TextViews + Animations but I'm
having troubles primarily because of sizing issues. If my text is long
enough that it exceeds the screen width, it won't be drawn completely
(it's size will be chopped at screen width). Thus,  when I animate it
from right to left, only a part of the text will be displayed. This
happens if I allow a maximum of 1 line in my TextView, because
otherwise it makes the TextView have multiple lines. If I make it
horizontally scrollable, the same 'chopped-off' behavior is seen.

I think this happens because the TextView's parent imposes some
restrictions on its size. Is there a way to bypass these restrictions
so that the TextView is 'drawn' even if parts of it will be off-
screen?

If that's not possible, what's an alternative way of implementing this
behavior?

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: Hidden Contacts

2009-03-19 Thread EboMike

To answer my own post... I looked at the Contacts source code, and
this is essentially what they do:

The main My contacts group is called
Contacts.Groups.GROUP_MY_CONTACTS.
To query all members in that group, simply use this URI:

Uri uri = Uri.parse(content://contacts/groups/system_id/ +
Contacts.Groups.GROUP_MY_CONTACTS + /members);

Works like a charm for me. I can imagine that at least part of this
URL is contained in the Contacts.Groups.CONTENT_* strings, so it would
be cleaner to use those.

[android-developers] Re: SimpleCursorAdapter and setListAdapter problems

2009-03-19 Thread Mike Garcia
Nevermind,  I found the solution...  The final fillData function does
exactly what I need.  Hope this helps someone...

private void fillData(){
Cursor c = mDbHelper.fetchAllClients();
startManagingCursor(c);

// Set Client Row Title
String[] from = new String[]{ FinanceDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE,
FinanceDbAdapter.KEY_BODY };
int[] to = new int[]{ android.R.id.text1, android.R.id.text2};

// Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our row
SimpleCursorAdapter clients = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.two_line_list_item, c, from, to);
setListAdapter(clients);
}

 I am trying to fill the data in two text views in a single row (see

 understand the function, it is allowed to take an array of strings and
 an array of ids which you see in the list below.  When I run the
 application from the phone, it errors out at start (the client view is
 the default view to show which is where this function is executed
 from).  Can anyone fill me in on what I am missing?

 when you want to use different APNs for both data and MMS, you need to set

 use apn type=default for the data APN.

 Hope this helps

  Why not just put them in your app's data directory, which nobody else can

 I want to do this because I wanna run different things, those will

[android-developers] Re: Problem with setTheme() method

2009-03-19 Thread Marcus

I'm sorry. But even if I put the setTheme on the first line of
onCreate (even beforce super.onCreate), I get a dark black background
and not a transparent/blur background.
But if I set the theme in the manifest, it works.

It's not a great problem, because I can set it in the manifest. But
really strange.

Also if I create an own theme which inherits the Dialog-Theme with
parent=@android:style/Theme.Dialog and change nothing in the body, I
don't get the transparent background!

Is there a trick or something more to consider?

Just because you can browse through the source and find something doesn't
mean it is supported for application development.  You can use the APIs in
the SDK.  Things that are not in the SDK were deliberately removed because
they can change in arbitrary ways across versions of the platform.

[android-developers] Re: Understand Broadcast and Intent with Dalvik process

2009-03-19 Thread Kenny

As no one answers, I also see similar questions with other threads. I
want to rephrase the question.

Android defines Application as components Activity, Service,
Broadcast/Intent and Content provider;
Android designs the inter-process communication - BINDER;
Usually application components send intents (Broadcast or
PendingIntent::send(), others?) as application messages;

If we look into the Android emulator using shell command ps, dozen
of Linux processes are present. Each may have one or more Dalvik JAVA
program.

# ps
USER PID   PPID  VSIZE RSS   WCHANPC NAME
...
root 231 70740 18860 c008be9c afe0c464 S zygote
...
system   4823169084 22552  afe0c33c S system_server
app_10   8023112416 19496  afe0d434 S
android.process.acore
radio8323106508 16636  afe0d434 S
com.android.phone
...

If android.process.acore gets an intent broadcast or PendingInent::send
(), can com.android.phone get the intent? Note they are in two Linux
processes with PID 80 and 83.

Kenny
On Mar 17, 10:06 pm, Kenny Yu yxw...@gmail.com wrote:
 Does anyone know if sendBroadcast(intentA) will bring intents to all
 Dalvik processes?

 For example, process android.process.acore behaves sendBroadcast(new
 intentA). Will the intentA be received in com.android.camera? We think
 android.process.acore and com.android.camera are zygoted to two Dalvik
 VMs (Linux processes).

 Same question to sendIntent(intentB). In terms of docs, sendIntent( )
 can address certain class to receive the intent. Is this behavior
 across processes?

If anyone gets their phone set up with telenor, including MMS, please
let us know.  I have got my phone working too now, with these
settings...

name: Telenor
apn: telenor
username:
password:
mmsc: http://mmsc/
mms proxy: 10.10.10.11
mms port: 8080
mcc:242
mnc:01
apn type: default


The only thing that will not work is MMS.  Adding a second apn that
looks identical, with apn type of MMS does not help either.
I would love to get MMS working, so please let me know if you have
Telenor Norway subscription and have MMS working (and of course, how
you did it :))

 No, it still does not ship directly to Norway. I got it shipped here
 through our US office. I guess Jetpak will work as well.

 Now, I've been getting a few mails from people having the same
 activation problem as I had so I figured I should post an update here.
 After lots of trials and errors I finally managed to activate the
 phone, but I had to use WLAN.

 To get that going you first need to install the USB driver for the
 phone and connect it to your computer.
 Run adb devices to verify that the device is connected correctly
 (HTC-something should show up under List of devices attached). Then
 run adb shell and am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n
 com.android.settings/.Settings from the shell prompt to get the WiFI-
 configuration screen up. Now configure your WIFI and activate the
 phone. Once you get that done you can go to Settings, Wireless
 controls-Mobile networks and register your SIM card on the mobile
 network!

 The APN settings I mentioned are correct (the only thing you need is
 to set telenor as apn name for Telenor). MMS doesn't seem to work,
 but I don't care.

 Good luck!

 Best regards,
 Stian

   Why not just put them in your app's data directory, which nobody else can

  I want to do this because I wanna run different things, those will
be decided at runtime. I think this is same concept as that of .dll

   And dlls also have serious security issues if you put them in a place

   others can modify them.  It's not as much of a concern on Windows,

   because its security is much looser and all of the apps tend to run as

You cannot access the HTML source from a running Browser instance.

If you want to download HTML for your own use, use URLConnection or

 I managed to compile using the command-line tools but haven't tried
 running the app because in the end I've given up because of the big

 Bottom line is, I can't really help you, but try compiling on the

In Sun Java I can get System endianess using the System.getProperty
(sun.os.endian).
How to get endianess of the system in Android?

[android-developers] Re: Scheduling a repeating task and being notified

2009-03-19 Thread Streets Of Boston

I did something similar, however, i did not use a BroadcastReceiver to
get callbacks back from the service.
Instead i used the RemoteCallbackList class:

  http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/RemoteCallbackList.html

No fiddling with intents and such. Just define a callback interface
and bind to it in your client and call it in your service and you're
done.

It works like a breeze :-)

 For the scheduling part I used AlarmManager and a Service as mentioned
 before.
 For the notification back part I ended up using sendBroadcast from
 the service and a BroadcastReceiver on my Activity (registering/
 unregistering it in onResume/onPause). It works fine.

  Hi!

  I'm trying to find the correct way to do the following:

  . I have an activity with a button that starts a repeating task in the
  background. That is, if the user goes away from my activity, I want my

  . I want a status TextView to be displayed on the activity, and if the
  task happens to start executing while my activity is showing, the
  TextView should be updated so the user can be aware of what's going
  on.

  So basically, is there a way to start a scheduled background repeating

  From what I saw in the sample applications, I understand I'm supposed
  to use AlarmManager and a Service but I'm not sure about the
  notification part.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

[android-developers] Stopping autoscroll on scrolling up

2009-03-19 Thread Al

Hi all, normally my scrollview scrolls down when text is added to the
textview it wraps around. When I scroll up, I want to stop it from
autoscrolling. I have boolean which says if it should scroll or not,
but the problem I'm having it to work out if the scrollbar is at the
bottom of the scrollview or not. If it is, then autoscroll should
happen. I have a touchlistener which called onScroll or onFling when I
scroll and I set the boolean there.

I'm sure the solution is really simple but for the life of me, I can't
work it out. How do I calculate if the scrollbar position is at the
bottom of the scrollview?

[android-developers] Problem launching my own (camera) application on press of Camera-button

2009-03-19 Thread Streets Of Boston

When i press the phone's camera button, both my application and the
system's camera application are launched:
- I press camera button
- After a few seconds, my camera app appears and all looks good.
- However, when i go back (back-button), i'm not brought back to where
i was before.
  Instead, i'm brought (back) to the system's camera application.

It looks like both camera apps are launched: The system's camera app
is launched and on top of that my camera app is launched.

I expected the activity-chooser to appear asking which camera app i'd
like to start (with an option of making one the default).

Here are some code snippets:
Manifest:
receiver android:name=.camera.CameraReceiver
intent-filter
action
android:name=android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON/
/intent-filter
/receiver
activity android:name=.camera.SmugCamera
android:label=@string/app_name
android:screenOrientation=landscape android:icon=@drawable/
camera
android:clearTaskOnLaunch=true
android:taskAffinity=smugdroid.task.camera
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.MAIN /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
category
android:name=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER /
/intent-filter
intent-filter
action android:name=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE /
category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT /
/intent-filter
/activity

CameraReceiver.java:
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
KeyEvent event = (KeyEvent) intent.getParcelableExtra
(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT);

if (event == null) {
return;
}

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
i.setClass(context, SmugCamera.class);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}

Do i have to change the onReceive method to use Intent.createChooser
(...) instead?
Or is there some other problem i'm not aware of?

Thank you.

[android-developers] Re: When the system launches a ResolverActivity or ChooserActivity it doesn't present...

2009-03-19 Thread Hans

On Mar 18, 11:16 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote:
 They use queryIntentActivities(), which only returns activities.  In the
 package manager, the four component types are completely disjoint, and there
 is simply no call you can make that will give you a mix of them.

Thanks for the info :).

  BTW, does this mean that services will tend to only get 'sticky'
  broadcast intents, intents intended explicitly for them from a given
  activity or service, and the occasional intent that isn't handle by
  any activity currently registered for it?

 Services are just completely different from receivers, which are different
 from activities.  They don't receive any broadcasts at all.

They certainly do when you register for them dynamically.

  Neither do activities.

Ibidem

 Only receivers do.  (One exception is that you can dynamically
 create a BroadcastReceiver and register it at runtime, but in that case it
 is not the component itself receiving the broadcast.)

Presumably this difference only matters when the code in question is
not yet running.

 In other words:

 - You launch activities with startActivity().
 - You send to receivers with sendBroadcast().
 - You bind to services with bindService() (and make them run with
 startService(), but semantically this is not the same at all as starting an
 activity; we probably should have found a different verb to use here).

So - If I have a service that I want to run when certain things
happen, just for an example I want it to run when someone clicks
'share' on the photo viewer menu.
Presuming that service is not running, putting the proper intent
filter in the service's manifest won't make a difference because
services are never evaluated for intents, but a running service with a
broadcast receiver inside of it would have its broadcast receiver
evaluated, correct?

I presume that if you want a service started up because of a standard
broadcast message your service's package would also contain a
broadcast receiver that would actually be what was triggered and it
would in turn start the service, yes/no?

So, to sum up, unless an intent is sent via broadcast, a running
service has no approach to receive intents other than from binds and
starts/stops, correct?

Thanks,

 Hans

[android-developers] Re: Accuracy of sensors such as electronic compass

2009-03-19 Thread David Turner
the compass measures the local magnetic field, and as such might be
influenced by various electronics devices around the phone.
For example, try using a compass application and move near/far a PC, and
you'll see the pin tilting towards it sensibly.

In other words, the accuracy of the compass is not very great and you should
expect some deviation. I can't comment the exact range but deviations of 10%
are not unheard of according to a few tests we made, when indoor an
engineering lab.

Of course, when outdoors, things should be a lot more accurate.

 Hi,

 In Frame Animation, in item tag, when i am putting

[android-developers] Re: File Upload Question

I'm currently not specifying a MIME type, do I need to do this?  Here
is the PHP code I'm using:

?php
$target_path = uploads/;

$target_path = $target_path.basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']
['name']);

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'],
$target_path))
{
echo The file .basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). has been
uploaded;
}
else
{
echo There was an error uploading the file, please try again!;
}

Hi, all.

I have documented cases of an activity's onResume method getting
called HOURS after the G1 is - well, not asleep, since a WakeLock is
in use, but idle with the screen off (indeed, it had been off in one
case for 6+ hours).

Can anyone here explain how that might have happened?

Thanks.

[android-developers] Polite discussion of lite/trial vs pro distribution

2009-03-19 Thread Keith Wiley

First I will explain my situation.  Then, I would greatly appreciate
constructive dialog on how other developers feel similar situations
should be managed.

I wrote a simple app in November.  I offered it for free on the Market
for two reasons.  One, Google hadn't implemented paid apps yet, so I
had no choice.  Two, by my own admission, v1.0 was too simple too
garner payment.

However, in the app's documentation, I requested donations toward
future development.  Out of thousands of installs, I received nothing.

This week I finished a considerably fancier version of the program.
Given hundreds of hours of unpaid development, I decided to charge a
few bucks for the new version.  I split the app into lite and pro
versions.  The lite version has all the new fancy features enabled but
is limited in how large a document can be created (spread sheet, I
limited the number of rows/cols, admittedly unlimited in the earlier
version).  The pro version went to Market as a new app, the lite
version on top of the old app to retain the long feedback history.

Since the Market provides no way to downgrade, I put the old unlimited
version on my website and put directions in the new lite version in
multiple places explaining how to revert to the old version.  Thus,
any user dissatisfied with the rol/col limit could restore the EXACT
functionality they had before upgrading to the lite version.

Incidentally, the 325 character blurb allotted on the Market was
insufficient to list the new features and the lite version's
limitation and the caveat that the lite version could be reverted
through my website.  I simply could not communicate these facts to
users to help them decide whether to upgrade or what to expect after
upgrading.

The complaints about the new lite version have been diverse.  Most
pertinent to this discussion are complaints that the lite version now
limits the rows/cols where the previous version didn't.  I find such
complaints unjustifiable since I explicitly permit reversion.  I
literally don't see what they have to complain about.  Another irksome
genre of complaints is that the program is still too simple to ask any
money for at all.  I am infuriated.  It costs less than an ice cream
cone.

So, as discussion, how would other developers handle this situation:
initial app is simple so offered for free, later version is complex so
split into lite/pro.  You don't want to limit the lite version by not
showing the new fancy features, so the limitation must be something
else, a time limit, a forced delay splash screen, something.  I chose
limited rows/cols on a spreadsheet app, but also permitted reversion
to the old unlimited version.

How would other developers implement an increase in complexity, charge
for it, yet provide a lite version that doesn't anger users of a
previously unlimited, but also much more simplistic app?

Instead of flaming me where you think I made mistakes, please just
open the floor for honest discussion.  I'm trying to figure out how to
do this properly.  A lot of us are probably trying to figure out the
same thing.

Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Polite discussion of lite/trial vs pro distribution

2009-03-19 Thread Stoyan Damov

I don't think anyone would flame you on this list.
You had a free app, you made some improvements which cost you this and
that hours of hard work, angry wife, etc :) and you want a reward
for that - how this can be wrong?

What I'd do is have the lite version display a dialog on 1st startup,
showing a 1-time notice explaining everything you've just said in a
way that users can understand, including instructions on how to
download and install the previous full-featured free version from your
web site (explaining to users that they have to enable apps from 2rd
party sites, menu paths to do that, etc.).

Don't forget to mention that it can't possibly be your fault that an
imbecile at Google decided that an app's description could fit in 325
chars, and express your confidence that the issue will be fixed by
Google in a timely manner, and asking users politely to file this is a
bug on the Market's forums :)

Cheers

[android-developers] Re: Polite discussion of lite/trial vs pro distribution

2009-03-19 Thread Al Sutton

My solution would be to leave the old version on the market, then, under 
a new name, have the lite and pro versions.

Put in the 325 char description that the old app is not supported and 
people may want to look at the new app name.

[android-developers] Re: How to config G1 to make both browser and MMS work?

2009-03-19 Thread Weizhong

If I leave apn type to blank, is that same to default? Actually I
have tested with cmnet apn type blank, and cmwap apn type mms, it's
not working either.

 when you want to use different APNs for both data and MMS, you need to set
 the apn type field for the system to make a difference between them and
 use them both.

 use apn type=default for the data APN.
 and apn type=mms for the MMS one.

 Hope this helps

[android-developers] openInputStream problem

2009-03-19 Thread Tejas

Hi,

I'm trying to read an image (taken on camera) that I need to POST to a
server.
I'm using the following code:

CODE
OutputStream os = urlConn.getOutputStream();

ContentResolver cR = this.getContentResolver();
InputStream is = cR.openInputStream(photoUri);
BufferedInputStream buf = new BufferedInputStream(is);
int readBytes = 0;

while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1){
os.write(readBytes);
}

/CODE

But when I debug, I find that readBytes never gets a -1 (i.e eof). Can
anyone tell what is wrong here?
Is there any other alternative to read photos taken by the phone
camera (get a stream or bytes) to be POSTed to services etc...


Cheers,
Tej

[android-developers] Long Click Event of Button

2009-03-19 Thread Omer Saatcioglu

Hello all,

I have a problem. I use Click and Long Click Event in a button.
Everything's seems fine. However; whenever a user long click the
button, the click event also triggers. I couldn't find what I am doing
wrong. On the other hand, I noticed something might highly relevant
showDialog function returns before the user selects in the popup menu.

this is the long click function:

@Override
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
if(SMBGuesstheNumber.bDisplayFlagList)
{
theActiveButton = (Button) view;
showDialog(R.id.display_flaglist);
}
return false;
}

and this is the dialog handler:

case R.id.display_flaglist:
AlertDialog listdialog = new AlertDialog.Builder
(GfxGuesstheNumber.this)
.setIcon(R.drawable.droid)
.setTitle(R.string.dialog_flaglist)
.setItems(R.array.entries_flaglist, new
DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int 
whichButton) {
switch(whichButton){
case 0:

theActiveButton.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
break;
case 1:

theActiveButton.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
break;
case 2:

theActiveButton.setTextColor(Color.YELLOW);
break;
case 3:
theActiveButton.setTextColor(Color.RED);
break;
}
}
})
.create();
return listdialog;

Any comment will be helpful.

Thank you,
Omer

  1.  Why is there a file size limit on resources in the raw or assets
  folders (such a small limit, that is)?

 Assets are normally stored compressed, so currently opening it requires
 uncompressing into an in-memory buffer.  From that perspective, 1MB is
 pretty big -- it's over 1% of the total memory available to the kernel and
 all apps on the G1!

 To get around this, you can store your file uncompressed -- the new aapt has
 an option to turn off compression for custom fie extensions -- so you can
 read it directly from the .apk as an AssetFileDescriptor.  It would also be
 nice to support streaming access that uncompresses while you read...
 patches welcome. :)

  2.  Does this limit apply to all raw and asset files, or only to files
  that you get an input stream for?

 It is compressed files.  PNGs, MP3s, etc are not compressed in the .apk
 since their data is already compressed.

  2.  Can I change the file size limit, or is it a fixed feature?

 Fixed.

  3.  Is it appropriate to split a raw file into two or three files and
  read them in as three consecutive separate streams, all output to one
  file?  Or is this a bad practice since they must have implemented a file
  size limit for storage conservation reasons?

 Sure, that is fine.

  4.  Can I delete the resources from raw or assets at runtime (or is this
  totally invalid since the compiler sets up R.raw to have methods
  representing the files) to save space?

 Not at all, sorry.  You .apk is completely read-only.

  5.  How big is too big an application? (mine is a large word dictionary
  and the whole app after first run takes 4 meg)

 Given the storage space on the G1, that is pretty big -- 5-10% of the space
 available to all applications, their private data (Gmail messages and such),
 and the browser cache.  That size of an .apk will probably reduce the number
 of users you have, depending on how valuable people find the app to be.

[android-developers] catching a trackball event

2009-03-19 Thread djr

I have tried all day to capture a trackball event in a View. Basically
I want to use the trackball to move a Sprite in a 2D game left and
right. The onTouchEvent works perfectly well in the View to move the
Sprite with my finger but it would be nicer and cleaner to use the
trackball.

The onTouchEvent looks like:

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent motionEvent)
{
int action = motionEvent.getAction ();
int currentX = (int) motionEvent.getX ();
int currentY = (int) motionEvent.getY ();
if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
do stuff here and it works great
}
return true;
}

The onTrackballEvent looks like:

@Override
public boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent motionEvent)
{
int action = motionEvent.getAction ();
int currentX = (int) motionEvent.getX ();
int currentY = (int) motionEvent.getY ();

if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
do stuff here and it never gets here
}

return true;
}

In the debugger I can never get a trackball event to enter the above
code. I also tried setting up an onKey listener in the View that looks
like:

this.setOnKeyListener (
  new OnKeyListener ()
  {
public boolean onKey (View view, int keyCode, KeyEvent 
keyEvent)
{
//int currentX = (int) motionEvent.getX ();
//int currentY = (int) motionEvent.getY ();

if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT)
{
do stuff
}
else if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT)
{
do stuff
}
return true;
}
  });

Can anyone provide me with a simple example that uses the trackball to
move something in a View in a 2D type game world (not a menu or UI
type of example)? Or can someone explain what I'm not doing. Thanks so
much for any help you can give me.

PS - I did try and study the LunarLander code and I don't see what I'm
doing differently.

[android-developers] content://sms/sent Read SMS

2009-03-19 Thread Martin

Hi, I'm having a problem reading the SMS messages from the device.
When acquiring a content provider for the URI content://sms/inbox -
everything is fine, I read the person column to find the foreign key
into the people table and I can ultimately reach the contact and their
name.

However, I also want to traverse the sent messages too. When reading
from content://sms/sent, the person field always appears to be 0. Is
this the correct field to be reading to locate the recipient data for
the sent message? If so - why is it always 0.

All my testing has been done in the emulator and I've created 3
contacts. I've sent messages to those contacts from the emulator in
the normal manner you'd send a message.

Just to reiterate, I can see the 4 sent messages and read the
associated body text. My problem is that I can't seem to read the
person ID and hence I can't work out who the recipient is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Martin.

 What I need now is how to replace numbers by email addresses. What I
 need to change is People.NUMBER at a couple of places but I'm not able
 to find any replacement. There is a field called
 People.PRIMARY_EMAIL_ID but that returns the ID of the email rather
 than the actuall email.

 Kindly guide me what am I missing.

 Big thanks in advance!!!

[android-developers] Extra Icons in Menu

Hi,



When I run my app, I see about 8 or 9 icons in the main phone menu. One
is to run the app, and the others actually run activities within the
app. 



I want there to only be one icon for users. Any ideas as to why this is 
happening?



My code is structured similar to examples from the book Android - A 
Programmers Guide by JF DiMarzio.





How do I hide the other icons so users have to start at the main menu screen?





Thanks,

[android-developers] Handling Sensor Events and optimal way of using SensorGestureDetector?

2009-03-19 Thread Learning_Android

Hi All

My dbt is that lets say I have the applications like Gallery and
Calendar which want to use Sensor input as another input apart from
touch i/p and key i/p and for this there is a utility say
SensorGestureDetector(Example SensorGestureDetector:
http://code.google.com/p/openintents/source/browse/trunk/ShoppingList/src/org/openintents/hardware/SensorGestureDetector.java?r=1106)
, then which of the 2 ways u suggest me to use:

1) we use it the way we use GestureDetector, extending
itsonSimpleGestureListener and implementig only the gestures specific
to the application. This is simple and straight
2) we have a service to which application can bind and the service
will call back when the getsure happens to the application which has
been binded. So this service will listen to the sensor events in 1st
place and implement the SensorGestureDetectors listeners which in turn
would call the applications method and then the application can decide
what to do on that specific gesture.

Thanks and Regards,
Learning_Android.

[android-developers] How does LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates interact with power management?

I'm looking at writing an application which includes functionality
similar to Google's My Tracks (with some additional data collection
support and a specialized user interface).

If periodic location updates are requested with a minimum update delay
provided but the phone goes to sleep either by timeout or explicit
user request, will the phone wake up every minTime ms to poll? If not,
do I need to grab PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK for my application to be able to
record the user's path, or will a more conservative approach (such as
setting an alarm to run every minTime ms, waking on the alarm, keeping
the CPU awake until a location update is received, and then going back
to sleep) work? Is there a better way to periodically poll position
without running more of the phone hardware than necessary which I
haven't thought of yet?

Do I need to be concerned about GPS reacquisition time if the CPU has
been off since the most recent query?

Thanks!

[android-developers] Re: detect screensize

You almost certainly don't want to do that.  It does not tell you the
actually available space (taking into account any screen decorations that
may or may not be showing), just the raw size.  You should always use the
view hierarchy layout system to place your UI.

[android-developers] Re: Handling Sensor Events and optimal way of using SensorGestureDetector?

2009-03-19 Thread Dianne Hackborn
Didn't we just have this discussion on another list?

1. This class is not part of the platform at this point, it is stuff people
are working on separate and you can just use if you want.
2. Statically link the class into your platform and use it, as has already
been suggested.

 Hi All

 My dbt is that lets say I have the applications like Gallery and

 touch i/p and key i/p and for this there is a utility say
 SensorGestureDetector(Example SensorGestureDetector:

 http://code.google.com/p/openintents/source/browse/trunk/ShoppingList/src/org/openintents/hardware/SensorGestureDetector.java?r=1106
 )
 , then which of the 2 ways u suggest me to use:

 1) we use it the way we use GestureDetector, extending
 itsonSimpleGestureListener and implementig only the gestures specific
 to the application. This is simple and straight
 2) we have a service to which application can bind and the service
 will call back when the getsure happens to the application which has
 been binded. So this service will listen to the sensor events in 1st
 place and implement the SensorGestureDetectors listeners which in turn
 would call the applications method and then the application can decide
 what to do on that specific gesture.

[android-developers] Re: catching a trackball event

Make sure your view has input focus.

 I have tried all day to capture a trackball event in a View. Basically
 I want to use the trackball to move a Sprite in a 2D game left and
 right. The onTouchEvent works perfectly well in the View to move the
 Sprite with my finger but it would be nicer and cleaner to use the
 trackball.

 The onTouchEvent looks like:

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent motionEvent)
{
int action = motionEvent.getAction ();
int currentX = (int) motionEvent.getX ();
int currentY = (int) motionEvent.getY ();
if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
do stuff here and it works great
}
return true;
}

 The onTrackballEvent looks like:

@Override
public boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent motionEvent)
{
int action = motionEvent.getAction ();
int currentX = (int) motionEvent.getX ();
int currentY = (int) motionEvent.getY ();

if (action == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE)
{
do stuff here and it never gets here
}

return true;
}

 In the debugger I can never get a trackball event to enter the above
 code. I also tried setting up an onKey listener in the View that looks
 like:

this.setOnKeyListener (
  new OnKeyListener ()
  {
public boolean onKey (View view, int keyCode,
 KeyEvent keyEvent)
{
//int currentX = (int) motionEvent.getX ();
//int currentY = (int) motionEvent.getY ();

if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT)
{
do stuff
}
else if (keyCode ==
 KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT)
{
do stuff
}
return true;
}
  });

 Can anyone provide me with a simple example that uses the trackball to
 move something in a View in a 2D type game world (not a menu or UI
 type of example)? Or can someone explain what I'm not doing. Thanks so
 much for any help you can give me.

 PS - I did try and study the LunarLander code and I don't see what I'm
 doing differently.

[android-developers] Signal strength seen by the G1 phone

2009-03-19 Thread Matthew

Hello,

This is my first post here.

Please let me know if I should be posting this question elsewhere or
if I should be asking the question in a different manner.

I am trying to obtain the signal strength seen by the G1 phone.

I have implemented a PhoneStateListener and onSignalStrengthChanged
(int asu).

It looks like I am seeing four returned asu values (2, 6, 12 and 25).

I believe that the mapping of asu to dBm is as follows: -113dBm +
2*asu. Therefore, it looks like the G1 phone is reporting dBm values
of -109, -101, -89 and -63.

Also, I see that the signal strength icon used by the G1 has four bars
(I am assuming that each bar corresponds to one of the 2, 6, 12 and 25
asu values).

Question: does anyone know if it is possible to obtain signal strength
(either as an asu measure or a direct dBm measure) with a higher level
of granularity (that is, for example, in single asu steps or single
dBm steps).

Thank you in advance for any help or comments.

[android-developers] how to color key 2d sprite backgound?

Hi,

I am working on a 2d library for creating  a game including sprite

At first I used png's with the background color being transparant (24

background color being transparant.

Is this possible to do color keying in android? I looked at several
other threads about this topic but the all ended without a solution.

Also I am now using the canvas.drawBitmap to render my sprites, but
will using opengl be faster?

[android-developers] Re: When the system launches a ResolverActivity or ChooserActivity it doesn't present...

On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 7:33 AM, Hans hkess...@gmail.com wrote:

  Services are just completely different from receivers, which are
 different
  from activities.  They don't receive any broadcasts at all.
 They certainly do when you register for them dynamically.


Seriously, they don't.  sendBroadcast() will never ever reach a Service.
When you use registerReciever(), you are creating a dynamic
BroadcastReceiver and delivery is going there; the Service component is not
involved at all.


 So - If I have a service that I want to run when certain things
 happen, just for an example I want it to run when someone clicks
 'share' on the photo viewer menu.
 Presuming that service is not running, putting the proper intent
 filter in the service's manifest won't make a difference because
 services are never evaluated for intents, but a running service with a
 broadcast receiver inside of it would have its broadcast receiver
 evaluated, correct?


Again, these are three completely different things.  When share is clicked,
startActivity() is called.  The ONLY thing that will happen as a result of
this is an activity being started, so you simply must have an activity
component that will handle the share intent.

Once you are in your activity, you can start your service or so whatever
else you want.


 I presume that if you want a service started up because of a standard
 broadcast message your service's package would also contain a
 broadcast receiver that would actually be what was triggered and it
 would in turn start the service, yes/no?


Correct.


 So, to sum up, unless an intent is sent via broadcast, a running
 service has no approach to receive intents other than from binds and
 starts/stops, correct?


That makes it sound complicated. :)  startActivity - Activity, startService
- Service, sendBroadcast - BroadcastReceiver.  Just don't think of Intent
as a generic message system where all of them are routed through one common
channel.  Intent is a primitive data structure with standard semantics for
declaring and matching a simple language, which is used in various places to
build specific routing facilities.

[android-developers] Re: Polite discussion of lite/trial vs pro distribution

2009-03-19 Thread Mattaku Betsujin
I think you can make the situation a lot better for yourself by 
accepting that people generally suck.

There are lots of free loaders who don't want to pay for anything. And there
are lots of people with lots of free time creating free apps, thus
reinforcing the mentality of the free loaders.

I think the people who complain about your paid app are a minority, albeit a
loud one. So just ignore them and life goes on. Also, most paid apps on
Android market are harnessed equally by the free loaders, so you're not the
only one.

If their comments on the market really bother you, then just get 3 G1
accounts, and you can make sure that you always have 3 five-star comments on
the first page :-)


On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 9:28 AM, Al Sutton a...@funkyandroid.com wrote:


 My solution would be to leave the old version on the market, then, under

 Put in the 325 char description that the old app is not supported and

 Keith Wiley wrote:
  First I will explain my situation.  Then, I would greatly appreciate
  constructive dialog on how other developers feel similar situations
  should be managed.
 
  I wrote a simple app in November.  I offered it for free on the Market
  for two reasons.  One, Google hadn't implemented paid apps yet, so I
  had no choice.  Two, by my own admission, v1.0 was too simple too
  garner payment.
 
  However, in the app's documentation, I requested donations toward
  future development.  Out of thousands of installs, I received nothing.
 
  This week I finished a considerably fancier version of the program.
  Given hundreds of hours of unpaid development, I decided to charge a
  few bucks for the new version.  I split the app into lite and pro
  versions.  The lite version has all the new fancy features enabled but
  is limited in how large a document can be created (spread sheet, I
  limited the number of rows/cols, admittedly unlimited in the earlier
  version).  The pro version went to Market as a new app, the lite
  version on top of the old app to retain the long feedback history.
 
  Since the Market provides no way to downgrade, I put the old unlimited
  version on my website and put directions in the new lite version in
  multiple places explaining how to revert to the old version.  Thus,
  any user dissatisfied with the rol/col limit could restore the EXACT
  functionality they had before upgrading to the lite version.
 
  Incidentally, the 325 character blurb allotted on the Market was
  insufficient to list the new features and the lite version's
  limitation and the caveat that the lite version could be reverted
  through my website.  I simply could not communicate these facts to
  users to help them decide whether to upgrade or what to expect after
  upgrading.
 
  The complaints about the new lite version have been diverse.  Most
  pertinent to this discussion are complaints that the lite version now
  limits the rows/cols where the previous version didn't.  I find such
  complaints unjustifiable since I explicitly permit reversion.  I
  literally don't see what they have to complain about.  Another irksome
  genre of complaints is that the program is still too simple to ask any
  money for at all.  I am infuriated.  It costs less than an ice cream
  cone.
 
  So, as discussion, how would other developers handle this situation:
  initial app is simple so offered for free, later version is complex so
  split into lite/pro.  You don't want to limit the lite version by not
  showing the new fancy features, so the limitation must be something
  else, a time limit, a forced delay splash screen, something.  I chose
  limited rows/cols on a spreadsheet app, but also permitted reversion
  to the old unlimited version.
 
  How would other developers implement an increase in complexity, charge
  for it, yet provide a lite version that doesn't anger users of a
  previously unlimited, but also much more simplistic app?
 
  Instead of flaming me where you think I made mistakes, please just
  open the floor for honest discussion.  I'm trying to figure out how to
  do this properly.  A lot of us are probably trying to figure out the
  same thing.
 
  Thanks.

[android-developers] Re: Getting current on-screen GUI objects?

2009-03-19 Thread Romain Guy

If you want to do it from another tool, it's pretty easy. Run the
following commands from a shell:

Make sure you have a dev device/emulator (if you see 1, you're out of luck):
$ adb shell getprop ro.secure
0

Start the server:
$ adb shell service call window 1 i32 4939

You should see the following result (the 1 means the server is running):
Result: Parcel( 0001   '')

Install the port forwarding:
$ adb forward tcp:4939 tcp:4939

Connect to the server:
$ telnet localhost 4939

Now, you can use one of two commands (type enter after each command):

- LIST will show the list of windows:
LIST
43514758 com.android.launcher/com.android.launcher.Launcher
4359e4d0 TrackingView
435b00a0 StatusBarExpanded
43463710 StatusBar
43484c58 Keyguard
DONE.

- DUMP will show the views and their properties for a given window.
For instance, DUMP 43514758 will show the views contained in the
window com.android.launcher/com.android.launcher.Launcher. You can
also use DUMP -1 or DUMP  to dump the foreground window. I
recommend that version. The dump may take a while go be generated and
it looks like this:

 Hello all,
    Is there any way for an Android application to retrieve some sort
 of Collection object that contains references to all of the GUI
 elements which are currently on the phone's screen? This could be very
 useful for testing purposes and so on.

  If I have overlooked a well-known class or library, please let me
 know.

 Thanks.
