[android-developers] Re: In-App purchasing

[android-developers] Uninstall not working
Hi, Since a few days, we get an increasing number of reports of users that are unable to uninstall multiple of our applications. Often people give a 1 star rating in the market then, is it possible to fix this? Our users comments are for instance: Uninstalled it yet still appears as installed with buttons greyed out This has been uninstalled from my phone for about a month and the icon won't go away. I'll click it and its like I have it installed. Its a fun app until you decide to uninstall it. It then shows as installed in the market and seemingly a fixture. Can't get rid of it. This is for 3 different apps, and none of these apps have been forward- locked. We have told some users that emailed us already that they should try rebooting their phone because the market sometimes gets stuck, but that didn't help.

[android-developers] Re: KSoap - How to pass a dataset to a dotNet webservice?
Thats actually the first thing I tried. I passed in the ms soap version of the dataset but still didnt work. I think I only have one option and that is to build up the soap request (xml) manually and post it myself, removing teh need for KSoap. 2009/10/19 gjs garyjamessi...@gmail.com Hi again, You could reverse engineer this to some extent by generating a proxy for a client of the webservice then use ,something like wire shark to monitor/capture what is passed between the client and the webservice. I guess it might be an xml representation of the Dataset that gets passed. You can facilitate this if you have an instance of a Dataset by outputing/saving itself in XML format. This would all be done in a .net environment. After this you could work out what an android implementation of a client would need to pass and whether ksoap can help. As you probably know a ms Dataset is a heavy weight representation of a database or partial database including a schema definition, an object that cannot be 'instantiated' in java, which is generally used in a homogeneous .net environment. Webservices like a lot of other things suffer a Microsoft implementation and other open source implementations which are by (ms) design deliberately incompatible...

[android-developers] Re: Memory leak or feature
So has anybody been able to test the sample app and found the leak. To me this seems a quite serious bug or I might have misunderstood some fundamental Android concept.

Do you have any ideas where the leak could be in the sample app that I posted?

If you have developed or if you are developing applications, and they are on the Android Market - Great! - But these apps are only available for devices that have contracts with Google. Archos, a major PMP manufacturer, launched its first device on 25th of September: the Archos 5 IT. Archos has a real community of fans who are waiting for applications for their devices. This device is the first of a long product line (the first Archos phone should be available soon too!). It's a new opportunity for your applications to find new fans! You can post your apps, for free, on the Archos Market called Appslib (http://www.appslib.com). Today, only free applications are available for distribution on AppsLib, but Archos promises the possibility to distribute your paid apps soon ! Don't wait : more applications, more users, more fans...and more revenue (soon)!

[android-developers] Memory usage of an activity / thread
Memory usage is a big isue when programming for android. When I created the base of the application I'm currently building, I just tested the part (activity) that I just worked on. Last week the base was done so I could focus on other things, including performance. My application crashed (OutOfMemory) pretty fast when I - for example - first opened a MapActivity followed by an activity that uses the Camera and some Bitmaps/BitmapFactory. Now a week later I optimized much code and it doesnt crash that fast, but it still does. I started with a max of 2 pictures until crash, now I can make up to 15 pictures until it crashes. One thing that caught my eye was the threading of the application. Each time when I create a picture and return to my main activity, it creates a new thread (at least thats what the DDMS is showing me). Isn't this bad for memory usage? The way I call the main activity (Profile) from the picture activity (PreviewPicture). Intent detailIntent = Profile.mActivity.getIntent(); PreviewPicture.mActivity.startActivity(detailIntent); PreviewPicture.mActivity.finish(); Note: I use mActivity in PreviewPicture because this code is called from a dialog. This is very weird, because when I (re)open another activity like PreviewPicture the same way, it doesnt add a thread in the DDMS. Since BitmapFactory leaks memory I assume it will be very hard to completely remove the posiblilty of crashing by a OutOfMemoryException, but I want it to be as stable as possible. I hope you guys can help me :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] TabWidget, TabSpec programmatically and refresh data within the tabs from onResume
hi there. I'm a newbie using android sdk. In my first application, I have a TabWidget which is defined into the xml. It can contains several tabs, created programmatically. The number of tabs depends of the data coming from a web service. I want to reload the data each time the application is displayed. To do that, I reimplemented the onResume on the activity. A background task is launched to preform the refresh of the data then, to recreate the tabs (into a runOnUiThread method). The problem here is I don't know if I have to recreate the tabs OR to refresh only the data of the views inside the tabs. For now, I recreate the tabs but I often got some exceptions and I'm pretty sure it is the wrong way to do that. For example, I leave the application with the second tab open, when I come back, the reload is perform and I got an exception. This exception is not there if I were on the first tab. I can try to clean the tabs or remove the views but I guess is weird to do that. So what is the best way to implement tabs and data refresh ? Thanks a lot!

[android-developers] Layout with all cells the same size
I'm trying to do something incredibly simple: I want a layout which evenly divides the space up among its children, so each child is the same size. I cannot figure out how to do this. LinearLayout appears to assign space to all of its children and then allocate the *remaining* space --- so a TextView with a label of LONG gets more space than a TextView with a label of I, even if it's not necessary. TableLayout... well, I can't figure out what rules TableLayout uses to assign its space. But I still get much the same effect, regardless of how I fiddle with shrinkColumns and stretchColumns. Does anyone know how I can do this? -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ─ http://www.cowlark.com ─ │ │ ⍎'⎕',∊N⍴⊂S←'←⎕←(3=T)⋎M⋏2=T←⊃+/(V⌽⊂M),(V⊝M),(V,⌽V)⌽(V,V←1⎺1)⊝⊂M)' │ --- Conway's Game Of Life, in one line of APL --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Trouble with Ringtone.getTitle() in 1.6
We're seeing a problem with Ringtone.getTitle() in 1.6. Sporadically, getTitle() will return Unknown ringtone instead of the proper title. It seems to be timing-dependent, and is most likely to go wrong when we ask for the title of a tone twice in rapid succession. Here's a typical log, showing a success followed very rapidly by a failure: 10-20 10:50:41.799: INFO/Utils(902): titleForRingtone looking for uri content://media/external/audio/media/21 10-20 10:50:41.929: INFO/Utils(902): titleForRingtone got Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag 10-20 10:50:42.079: INFO/Utils(902): titleForRingtone looking for uri content://media/external/audio/media/21 10-20 10:50:42.149: ERROR/PlayerDriver(51): Command PLAYER_PREPARE completed with an error or info PVMFErrResource 10-20 10:50:42.149: ERROR/MediaPlayer(902): error (1, -17) 10-20 10:50:42.149: WARN/PlayerDriver(51): PVMFInfoErrorHandlingComplete 10-20 10:50:42.159: ERROR/RingtoneManager(902): Failed to open ringtone content://media/external/audio/media/21 10-20 10:50:42.219: INFO/Utils(902): titleForRingtone got Unknown ringtone My guess is that the second attempt fails because the first attempt has not yet finished some cleanup task, closing down a media player or some such. My question is, how can I reliably know when the Ringtone is in a state where I can safely ask it for its title ? At the moment there is no solid way for my code to know when it is unsafe to ask, or even to know when getTitle has definitely failed. Any hints about what is going on here would be very welcome.

Hi,
my TourList.java is very small:
//imports and package
public class TourList extends ListActivity
{
File dir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
String[] fileList = dir.list(new FilenameFilter() {
public boolean accept(File d, String name) {
return name.endsWith(.gpx);
}
});
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.tourlist);
if (fileList.length0)
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapterString
(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,fileList));
else
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
Keine Tour vorhanden!,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
public void onListItemClick (ListView lv, View v, int pos, long
id)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(TourList.this, NavTrack.class);
intent.putExtra(pos, pos);
intent.putExtra(fileList, fileList);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
Where can there be an error? Or is it a problem, that i work with sdk

on sdk 1.5 handy and 1.6 emulator??

[android-developers] Re: How can i bring an activity to foreground from background manually?
Reread RichardC's reply. There's good reason to believe that the platform doesn't allow - indeed shouldn't allow - arbitrary apps to bring their activities to the foreground without user action. Even if the platform does allow it, I have to agree with RichardC that it's not a good idea. If the user has moved on from your activity to another, why do you know better than they that yours is more important? I suggest you rethink your architecture to achieve your desired result without using this technique. For example: - update a database from a background service when the network action of interest occurs - update your activity's GUI from the database the next time the USER brings it to the foreground String On Oct 20, 12:17 pm, pink 444 pnk...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for your replay.

[android-developers] HTC Hero does not support colored LEDs (SDK way) - What can developers do in these cases? [Follow up from android-platform]
[This is the follow up of a thread I have started in the android- platform group] Hello. I am the developer of a heavily used application (over 110.000 active installs) and got one problem with the Android platform. One of the features in my application uses the normal way of the Android SDK to display a LED notification with a selectable color. The color can be set by ledARGB flag in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html. This had been working with the emulator, the HTC G1 and the HTC Magic (myTouch) but now users starting to report that the HTC Hero does not show up different colors. (although the charging LED for the HTC Hero is orange and the normal notification color is green) The same thing occurs for setting a vibrate pattern. (flag - vibrate in http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html) This does not work on the HTC Hero US. (it does work on the EU/GSM version of the Hero) Now I'm a bit worried that this list of basic SDK features not working on Android devices gets longer and longer. (I have heared from problems with alarms on the T-Mobile Pulse) How can we as developers handle such problems? How can we make sure that our applications do not net served to not supported devices by the Android market? Or how can we hide specific features from specific handsets? I am ware of the following manifest settings: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-eleme... http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-configuration... But they do not help me in these cases. I have tried to get some response by HTC but haven't gotten anything untill now. It would be great to hear some of your opinions. Regards --- JBQ answered: At this point in time this discussion is still somewhat off-topic in this group, since none of the compatibility stuff is exposed in the open. Android-developers might be a better place to discuss this. Those device-specific bugs are a definite concern, though, and we'll need to either tighten the compatibility requirements or document that those APIs aren't guaranteed to work on all devices. Thanks, JBQ My answer: You are right and I will start another topic in the Android-developers group. From my point of view it would be ok if there would be a possibility in the SDK (some methods) to get to know from code if the not guaranteed APIs are available on a specific device or not. So developers could hide features if the device does not allow them. But to be honest I'd like the first way more which means tightening the compatibility requirements. At the moment all developers can do is to exclude some devices from their support list because of being not 100% compatible with the Android SDK offered by the Android open source project.

[android-developers] Re: How can i bring an activity to foreground from background manually?
RichardC and String are correct. You can't and shouldn't do this. Re-design your app so that the user does not need to push a GUI to the front at any possible given time. Also, your background service that waits in the background may have been killed by the Android OS due to low memory or low resource; It may not even be running when your network-event happens If you did manage to have your activity pop to the foreground without any user interaction and then put your app on the market, expect quite a few bad comments. Why the phone-dialer can get to the foreground automatically: It's a phone! Even the SMS and voice-mail notifications don't automatically show a UI. They show notifications.

[android-developers] Re: Temp storage for bitmap
I had a similar issue with storing temporary images (saving color- corrected images). It turned out that storing a temp image (just plain binary data; a large array of int-s (ARGB)) on the SD-card was the fastest (still slow, though). Storing it on the phone, the cache (getCacheDir) or data (getFilesDir), was way slower (about 2 times for writing) than storing it on the SD-card. Note that i have a class-6 SD-card in my phone. Another reason to use the SD-card instead of the cache is the limited amount of phone-memory. Android will clear the cache when necessary, but stil I call Bitmap.getPixels a number of times on a *large* bitmap, using a temporary buffer, and write the contents of this buffer to a FileOutputStream that points to a temp file on the SD-card. If you have a *small* bitmap, just calling 'compres's using the PNG (no image- quality loss) is sufficient. Be sure to not assign an image extension (e.g .jpg or .png) to the name of this temporary file... it may show in the Gallery app :-) On Oct 20, 9:02 am, Vitaly Polonetsky topix...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for your reply, that's what I'm planing to do.My other question was where do I temporary store the image ?

[android-developers] Re: Multiple Screen Support, 1.5 and 1.6
Thanks, Lance. That works well. So currently if I want to handle compatibility for normal size or larger I have to launch and test my app in the HVGA emulator skin, the WVGA800, the WVGA854, and then launch the 1.5 emulator skin by itself, manually install my app from the command line and test it as well. When I first started Android development, I was a bit worried about how things would progress as new hardware configurations came out. I hope it doesn't get any more complicated than this. My guess is that most indie developers just don't have the time/resources to make their apps compatible across a wide range of hardware configurations. I'd be curious to know how many devs on this list are tackling multiple screen support for their apps.

The post talks about upgrading your app using the 1.6 SDK, then says this: Note that not all devices will be upgraded to Android 1.6 at the same time. There will be significant number of users still with Android 1.5 devices. To use the same apk to target Android 1.5 devices and Android 1.6 devices, build your apps using Android 1.5 SDK and test your apps on both Android 1.5 and 1.6 system images to make sure they continue to work well on both types of devices. Now resource directory qualifiers (e.g. res/drawable-mdpi/ or res/ layout-large) don't work with the 1.5 SDK. So right now as a dev I have the choice to either: 1) Update my apps with the 1.6 SDK so that they are compatible with the various 1.6 emulator skins and the various hardware configurations coming out. If I do this, the updates will not be available to those users that still have 1.5, which is a significant number of users. 2) Continue using the 1.5 SDK, without the available tools in 1.6, but try to somehow get my app to render properly in the various 1.6 emulator skins.

(flag - vibrate inhttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html) This does not work on the HTC Hero US. (it does work on the EU/GSM version of the Hero) Now I'm a bit worried that this list of basic SDK features not working on Android devices gets longer and longer. (I have heared from problems with alarms on the T-Mobile Pulse) How can we as developers handle such problems? How can we make sure that our applications do not net served to not supported devices by the Android market? Or how can we hide specific features from specific handsets? I am ware of the following manifest settings:http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-eleme...http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-configuration... But they do not help me in these cases. I have tried to get some response by HTC but haven't gotten anything untill now. It would be great to hear some of your opinions. Regards --- JBQ answered: At this point in time this discussion is still somewhat off-topic in this group, since none of the compatibility stuff is exposed in the open. Android-developers might be a better place to discuss this. Those device-specific bugs are a definite concern, though, and we'll need to either tighten the compatibility requirements or document that those APIs aren't guaranteed to work on all devices. Thanks, JBQ My answer: You are right and I will start another topic in the Android-developers group. From my point of view it would be ok if there would be a possibility in the SDK (some methods) to get to know from code if the not guaranteed APIs are available on a specific device or not. So developers could hide features if the device does not allow them. But to be honest I'd like the first way more which means tightening the compatibility requirements. At the moment all developers can do is to exclude some devices from their support list because of being not 100% compatible with the Android SDK offered by the Android open source project.

[android-developers] Re: Multiple Screen Support, 1.5 and 1.6
I took a crack at writing up the issue in Eclipse here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4303 On Oct 19, 5:12 pm, polyclefsoftware dja...@gmail.com wrote: Here's the problem I'm running into: I'm using a resource directory qualifier (e.g. res/drawable-hdpi/).

The Android Developers Blog post regarding this seems strange to me. The post talks about upgrading your app using the 1.6 SDK, then says this: Note that not all devices will be upgraded to Android 1.6 at the same time. There will be significant number of users still with Android 1.5 devices. To use the same apk to target Android 1.5 devices and Android 1.6 devices, build your apps using Android 1.5 SDK and test your apps on both Android 1.5 and 1.6 system images to make sure they continue to work well on both types of devices. Now resource directory qualifiers (e.g. res/drawable-mdpi/ or res/ layout-large) don't work with the 1.5 SDK. So right now as a dev I have the choice to either: 1) Update my apps with the 1.6 SDK so that they are compatible with the various 1.6 emulator skins and the various hardware configurations coming out. If I do this, the updates will not be available to those users that still have 1.5, which is a significant number of users. 2) Continue using the 1.5 SDK, without the available tools in 1.6, but try to somehow get my app to render properly in the various 1.6 emulator skins. Is this about right? Is anyone else dealing with this right now? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Problem to show unicode strings in TextView
My server side is using Struts (2.1.7). Strangely, the jsp, using struts tags, usually outputs ideally encoded message which can be displayed by Android’s TextView. Only when it comes to using struts’ “iterator” tag, then decimal unicode are sent to the client, which is fine for browser, but causing problem for Android’s TextView. To transfer the decimal Unicode into hexadecimal one is rather straight forward on the phone side, but this incurs the performance drop. A painful decision to take may be to change the server technology from Struts to Spring, hoping Spring is better than Struts, while Spring may bring other benefit. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Help! Trying to get Basic Auth working with WebView. setHttpAuthUsernamePassword?
Hi!
Just one more discovery that in my opinion is probably a bug in the
framework.
When you call setHttpAuthUsernamePassword only the first call is
stored.
If you try override values for the same host and realm it will only
return the first entered user.
Even after restarts of the client.
I even had clearCache(true) and that did not help.
So if you need to update a value you must first call.
WebViewDatabase.getInstance(this).clearHttpAuthUsernamePassword();
In my example you could as well skip the entire setHttpAuth/
getHttpAuth and pass the correct value but if you split the logic then
it matters.

I guess the prompting for Authentication is written in code in the

I have done a search arond and found the setHttpAuthUsernamePassword

I assumed that if the site was myhost.dyndns.org then the hostname
would be myhost and the realm would be dyndns.org? This didn't seem to
work. I also tried connecting by IP Address but that makes the Realm

Any ideas on how I can get this working?

[android-developers] How to make LinearLayout smooth scroll ing？
hi, i am a new android developer, and recently I was doing a
horizontal scrolling menu. the follow is xml doc:
com.kingkong.gallery.GalleryHorizontalView
android:id=@+id/HorizontalScrollView01
android:layout_width=fill_parent android:scrollbars=none
android:layout_height=wrap_content
LinearLayout android:id=@+id/ourlayout
android:orientation=horizontal
android:layout_width=fill_parent
android:layout_height=fill_parent
android:background=#ff
/LinearLayout
/com.kingkong.gallery.GalleryHorizontalView
class GalleryHorizontalView is defined by myself, it is extends from
HorizontalScrollView.
in GalleryHorizontalView, I made the following changes ( changes in
method onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) ):
case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
// x == ev.getX();
final int deltaX = (int) (mLastMotionX - x);
mLastMotionX = x;
// i want to let the child
view's ( LinearLayout ) horizontal padding change,so change
//the child view's x
coordinate, x coordinate is change by deltaX;
if (deltaX 0) {
if (getScrollX() = 0) {
getChildAt(0).scrollBy(deltaX, 0);
}
} else if (deltaX 0) {
final int rightEdge = getWidth() -
getPaddingRight();
final int availableToScroll =
getChildAt(0).getRight()
- getScrollX() - rightEdge;
if (availableToScroll 0) {
getChildAt(0).scrollBy(Math.min(availableToScroll, deltaX),
0);
}
}
break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
int menuItemWidth =
80;
int temp = getChildAt(0).getScrollX();
int remainder = temp %menuItemWidth;
int scrollToCoords = 0;
// if temp 0 or temp == the child view's left
coordinate, scrollToCoords =0;
//scrollToCoords's value is x coordinate when the child
view end its scrolling.
//the follow calculation is to ensure that each option can
be displayed properly
if (temp 0 || temp == getChildAt(0).getLeft()) {
scrollToCoords = 0;
} else if (temp = getChildAt(0).getRight() / 2) {
scrollToCoords = getChildAt(0).getWidth() / 2;
} else if (temp getChildAt(0).getRight()
temp getChildAt(0).getLeft()) {
if (remainder == 0) {
scrollToCoords = temp;
} else {
if (remainder menuItemWidth/2) {
scrollToCoords =
temp - remainder + menuItemWidth;
}
if (remainder = menuItemWidth/2) {
scrollToCoords = temp -
remainder;
}
}
}
float mDeltaX = mLastMotionX - x;
mScroller.startScroll((int)mLastMotionX, 0, (int)x, 0,
1000);
this.invalidate();
getChildAt(0).scrollBy((int) mDeltaX, 0);
getChildAt(0).scrollTo(scrollToCoords, 0);
i run my app after made this change,the child view LinearLayout can
scroll with the order, but it looks like jump,
not smooth scrolling, how can make the scroll smooth.
thanks very much.

You cannot just bring your app into foreground. Its against android rules. You have to use notification mechanism to inform user about an event.

[android-developers] Re: MyLocationOverlay causing crash in 1.6 (Donut)
I have seen exactly the same problem, but only reproducible in some
phones with non standar builds. Anyway, they are 1.5 flavour.
The same piece of code works perfectly in a 1.6 G1 Dev Phone.
If you extend MyLocationOverview and overwrite the draw method it does
not crash... anyway this is not a solution since my location is not
displayed, but proves that this is the prblem.
What I am very curious about is that Google Maps works fine in that
phone.

Recently, two independent users with 1.6 (Donut) on their phones have
informed me that my app crashes after it enters a MapView, just as
soon as MyLocationOverlay obtains its first location fix. I have seen
it do so with one of them, in fact. However, when I asked for a
logcat, what they sent me seems to indicate the crash originated from
an uncaught ClassCastException thrown from within MyLocationOverlay
itself, not from my code. Worse, I tried running this on the 1.6
emulator and couldn't make it crash (I don't have 1.6 on my actual
phone yet), so I am completely lost with this and unsure if it's
something odd they were doing on their phones or something I will have
to worry about when 1.6 gets rolled out to more people.
One user has tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app numerous times,
as well as disabling Dalvik-Cache, all to no avail. This app works
perfectly on both 1.1 and 1.5 phones. I also tried recompiling the
app explicitly using the 1.6 SDK, and it still crashed (as per the
user I talked to). Is there anything I would need to consider with
regards to MyLocationOverlay when upgrading to 1.6?
Thanks in advance!

[android-developers] How can I detect when outgoing call has been accepted
Hello everyone, I have seen, using search, that this question has been asked already in this forum, without answer. To ask again: How can I detect when outgoing call has been accepted ? I can detect when outgoing call has been started using BroadcastReceiver. I can detect when call has ended using PhoneStatusListener. But there is nothing more except this two notifications. Internal phone application detects this event, my HTC magic (running standard cupcake) vibrates shortly when other party accepts call. So is it possible to detect this event in 'cupcake' or 'donut'. If not where can I post feature request to android OS developers to include this notification in next API revision. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] How to draw 3D objects on a MapView
Hi, I have been able to draw a map using 'MapActivity' class. Am unable to render 3D graphics on the Map. Is there any way to draw something on the foreground with the Map as the background?

[android-developers] Activity launch timeout even with wakelock
Hi,
I have the following code in Oncreate of my activity:
static String linkUrl = http://www.google.com/;;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService
(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
PowerManager.WakeLock wl = pm.newWakeLock
(PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK, My Tag);
wl.acquire();
try {
URL connectURL = new URL(linkUrl);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)
connectURL.openConnection();
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream
(conn.getInputStream
());
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
int len = dis.read(data, 0, 1024);
dataText = new String(data, 0, len);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e(TAG, Exception);
return;
}
TextView bodyText = (EditText) findViewById
(R.id.android_fetchtext);
bodyText.setText(dataText);
setContentView(R.layout.notes_fetch);
wl.release();
}
I declared the following permissions in manifest:
uses-permission android:name=android.permission.INTERNET /
uses-permission android:name=android.permission.WAKE_LOCK/
Here is my xml layout file:

In this situation no one wins and the end-user typically uninstalls both apps. Another way to think about this is - should the end-user be interrupted right now?
