[android-developers] Re: Samsung Moment (SPH-M900) - Application crashing
My understanding is that almost all calls are made on the main dispatch thread, including the onCreate call. The only exceptions are calls from specialized threads like the OpenGL drawing thread. This means calls are always sequential, and in particular onCreate and onProgressChanged will be called sequentially from the dispatch thread. Is it possible that target gets reset to null at some other point in your code?

[android-developers] How to run the email app background
Hi all, I have some requirement as given below: I have to write an email app that should send a mail to the particular mail id. I have written a code like this: Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); i.putExtras(Intent.EXTRA_MAIL,abc.gmail.com); i.putExtras(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,subject); i.putExtras(Intent.EXTRA_MESSAGE,some message); i..setType(message/rfc822); startActivity(Intent.createChooser(i, Title:)); It is working fine, I mean sending the mail to the reciever. But it is launching another Email app (android default app I guess). But I dont want it to be launched, I want directly send the mail to reciepent. My mail goal is that, the user should not know that the mail is sending. The default Email app (android's) should not be visible to the user. The mail sent process should be done in background. Can any one please help me? Thanks, Manoj -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

But I dont want it to be launched, I want directly send the mail to reciepent. Then you will need to write ESMTP client code and include that in your app, I expect. Or find an available library and download it. (ESMTP = the actual behind-the-scenes mail sending protocol.) This will, admittedly, be a pain since you will need to figure out the appropriate server to send to, whether or not it needs authentication, etc. I don't think there's any way to make the system e-mail client send the mail silently/without user intervention. My mail goal is that, the user should not know that the mail is sending. The default Email app (android's) should not be visible to the user. The mail sent process should be done in background. Honestly, as a user, I prefer to know when my phone is sending e-mails on my behalf. Being able to review and send the e-mail myself in the mail client thus seems, to me, to be the 'correct' behavior. Especially since you, the developer, then get the benefit of not-needing-to-muck-about-with-ESMTP, as the e-mail client does all of the actual formatting/authentication/sending logic for you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Is there any way to display 8000 * 8000 jpeg file without OutOfMemoryException
Extracting just a single tile out of JPEG file is a really big PITA There are about 27 different variants of JPEG (though not all really matter and are widely used) Usually you've got 8x8 tiles in row-order, and because of entropy encoding you can not navigate just to random tile - you'll have to scan from the start ( maybe you can build index, where single block-rows start - this will make scanning easier ) In this case, there will be only 1000 rows, with 1000 block in them - performance may be adequate. On Nov 20, 11:32 pm, Robert Green rbgrn@gmail.com wrote: I'd solve this by writing a preprocessor that breaks that big file down into manageable chunks. Think of having 10x10 array of 800x800 images. I would also mipmap a 4000x4000, 2000x2000, 1000x1000 and 500x500 of the file. Then, start the user on the correct zoom level, using only the tiles you need of your arrays. OpenGL is actually really good for this sort of thing. You could feasibly use 1024x1024 pixel texture tiles with an orthographic projection and let it handle the scaling. In short, I don't believe there is any way to get 8000x8000x16bit = 128MB of bitmap data into 16MB of RAM all at once, but you can definitely break it apart and work with pieces. A 1000x1000 pixel piece consumes 2MB of RAM. You could have 4 of those loaded at once and be OK on memory. If you're viewing actual pixels, you only need a max of 4 loaded at a time to have seamless panning between them.

Also, since you expressed interest in Google's server-side solution for Google Maps, are you considering developing a server-side component to your app as well? If so, you could host this capability (convert 8000x8000 image to smaller image) on a server somewhere. If you try to do all processing on the device itself, it's probably going to be very slow.

[android-developers] Custom Dialog example may be incorrect
I spent quite a long time trying to get my first custom dialog box to work, following the example in the Android Dev Guide. Specifically: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog --- Context mContext = getApplicationContext(); Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext); dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog); dialog.setTitle(Custom Dialog); --- I kept getting a badtokenexception whenever I tried to show the dialog. Eventually I found a forum posting which suggested changing it to: new Dialog(this); Which made the problem go away. My question is if the example is incorrect, or was the code not intended to be used in an Activity method? -Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: 2.0 AccountManager - Implementing a new account type with Google, Facebook and Exchange
Sukumar,
I see the exact same behavior in my code. It's confusing. Everything
seems to be setup properly, but the system never invokes by
implementation of AbstractAccountAuthenticator.
My assumption was that by defining the proper service and intent in
the manifest, the account settings manager would pick this up and call
my service from the Accounts Sync menu when someone chooses to
manipulate an account of my type.
However, since my primary intention is to create an account for use
only by my application, if I can get addAccountExplicitly working,
I'll should be happy. Nevertheless, I want to understand this part of
the system.
So if your AbstractAccountAuthenticator isn't being invoked, how can
you be calling addAccountExplicitly from within that class?
Cheers,
Jerry

You will need to create an AccountAuthenticator from the

To get anything meaningful to happen
[android-developers] getPressure and getSize in MotionEvent always return the same value?
This is for a touchscreen application. If I press a finger down and drag it around, I would expect that getPressure and getSize would give me a different value as I change how hard I press while dragging. However, both of these methods always return the initial value from the first MotionEvent that I get in my handler. In other words, whatever value is returned from getPressure on the first MotionEvent that has ACTION_DOWN, I get that same value for every subsequent ACTION_MOVE event all the way through to the final ACTION_UP event. The same is true for getSize. If I'm actually changing how hard I press on the screen as I drag my finger around, I want to get changing values from getPressure. Is this possible? Am I missing something? This is on a Motorola Droid. I tried using the Pointer Location application and it also shows the same behavior, the initial value from getPressure is the value I get for all subsequent values from getPressure while the finger remains down.

Dan,
Now I see what you are doing in your code and found the reference to
AddAccountExplicitly(). I want to skip returning an intent to fire
the an AccountAuthenticatorActivity and instead to return
KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME and KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE directly from my
AbstractAccountAuthenticator's addAccount method whereas your code
returns an intent that fires your authentication activity.
The main issue for me so far is that I don't see that my
AbstractAccountAuthenticator is ever being instantiated.

BTW, I think google map does the same thing on server side, not on mobile phone, does not it?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] My app runs fine on ADP1, but crashes the Motorola Droid?
Today I received user feedback from a Droid user that my app The vOICe for Android (one can find it on the Market by searching for seeingwithsound) causes the Motorola Droid to shut down (really?) within half a minute. I tested my app on ADP1 (Android 1.6), where I've just had it running for over 15 minutes without any issues, and I have also tested it to run OK on the emulator (set to Android 1.6 and 2.0), at various screen sizes from QVGA to WVGA. In other words, I cannot reproduce the problem. Buying all Android phones with all firmware versions and all Android OS versions (1.6 and 2.0 for now) is not practical. How does one deal with such situations? It looks like the Android OS is already starting to fragment across devices. Any help is appreciated, including crash data from Droid users.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Saving service killing without startForeground
2009/11/20 Cédric Berger cedric.berge...@gmail.com But if your service process is killed due to low memory, won't the system try to restart it later ? (though of course if there are still too many services running there is still a problem) Yes if the service was started with startService(), the system will continue trying to restart it (using a back-off timeout to avoid thrashing too much) until there is enough memory to run it again. If there are just too many services trying to run at the same time, you will end up cycling through the services running each of them some of the time. The only reason the service in this case would just be stopped and not started again is if it has crashed a couple times, or has ANRed in the background (in which case a dialog is not shown, but the system detects this and kills the process). Also note -- if you are using setForeground() it is EXTREMELY unlikely the system is killing your service due to low memory, since this API basically turns that off. (Though note in 2.0 this API no longer does anything, and you need to use the new APIs that tie this state to a notification; for older releases, you are supposed to do this so the user can know what is going on and stop the service, and this is now enforced in 2.0.) If you find your service going away while it is in the foreground, you should be looking for the service crashing or ANRing rather than thinking the system is killing it for memory. And I'll say again please please please avoid just running services continually in the background. We don't have enough memory in a lot of the devices for more than a few applications to do this. If you really need to, please make it clear in your app that this is happening, with a UI for the user to stop the service if they don't need it. And you will just have to deal with the fact that there will be situations where the system can't keep your service running -- for example, if the user goes to a fairly heavy-weight web site, this itself could consume enough memory that the system needs to kill most if not all of the background services for that time. Finally, you can find some information about what the system is doing in the log with adb logcat. There is often some more useful details in the low-level event log that you can see with adb logcat -b events. If you are going to ask for help with these kinds of questions, it would be extremely useful to post the log output that is seen when the service process goes away. Also you can use adb shell dumpsys activity.services to see the state of all services. If your service has been started, even if its process is killed and it is not running, you will see it in here, with a number of useful things about its current state. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.

This is different from the HVGA aspect ratio of 3/2, which is the traditional computer screen format. What this means is that when content is scaled up to full screen, the horizontal (X*1.5) and vertical (Y*1.77) scaling factors are different. As a result, when displaying the same bitmap as a full screen background, round circles can appear as ovals, and squares are elongated to rectangles. http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/Support_for_Multiple_Screen_Resolutions/ I have no reason to believe this is DROID-specific, but rather is how Android scales things in WVGA800/WVGA854, when you do not supply your own pre-scaled resources.

If the aspect ratio of HVGA is maintained I won't have this issue. How can I make sure the aspect ratio is maintained? You cannot control the aspect ratio, as that is dictated by the physical parameters of the screen. AFAIK, there is no Android equivalent of letterbox that would put black bars on either side of your app and give you a smaller virtual screen with 3/2 aspect ratio. Also in my layout I am positioning some items using pixel positions. Should I convert these to dpi? If you mean dip (density-independent pixels), perhaps. It depends on what the pixels represent. There is no hard-and-fast rule.

[android-developers] Using FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP, but don't restart target activity?
Hi, I'd like to use FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP to launch an activity in my app. It has one feature I don't want though - it restarts the target intent, instead of just resuming it. Example history stack, with activity D making the call to B with that flag: A B C D new stack A B but 'B' gets relaunched, its onCreate() method is called. Since B is already in the history stack, is there a way I can use this flag, but have it *not* recreate B, just onResume() it again? The reordering flags are kind of what I need too, but they won't pop C and D, just reshuffle the stack so B comes to the top, but I want C and D to go away, Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

You cannot control the aspect ratio, as that is dictated by the physical
parameters of the screen. AFAIK, there is no Android equivalent of
letterbox that would put black bars on either side of your app and
give you a smaller virtual screen with 3/2 aspect ratio.
Also in my layout I am positioning some items using pixel positions.
Should I convert these to dpi?
If you mean dip (density-independent pixels), perhaps. It depends on
what the pixels represent. There is no hard-and-fast rule.
How do I calculate what dpi they should be?
1px = 1dip at 160dpi (i.e., traditional normal screen density).

But I make the AddAccountExplicitly call in my Authenticator. You use the AccountManager to create accounts. If you call AddAccountExplicitly from a non-authenticator class, I guess it will work... But I think the security behind it will mean that only the class that created the account will be able to ever modify it or extract the password. This is why they have a framework for you to get an authtoken returned via the authenticator... the logic for authenticating should be buried within there, because it will be the only class allowed to peak at the password and send it wherever you are authenticating.

My addAccount() method doesn't return an intent, but rather KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME and KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE in it's bundle to let the account request succeed. My goal is to create an account that will only be used by my application and does not need to have any features to enable external authentication or account configuration. I've also tried AddAccountExplicitly() but I can't seem to get around its UID restrictions. The calling activity and the authenticator service all belong to the same application so I'm not sure why the system still throws an error about the UID not being correct.

[android-developers] Bitmap memory errorsn, static strings becoming null, MediaRecorder.release hangs
If my app runs for more then half an hour on the G1 it will fail on inflating views from xml, giving an error about insufficient memory creating a bitmap. Another issue, which may be a side effect is that global static strings that are assigned at startup become null. I have worked around that by throwing up setters around those statics that also store them as a private preference, and thrown up getters that read the preference in case of null. The root cause of all of my issues may be that when I call release on my MediaRecorder it sometimes hangs. No crash it just never returns, stalling the thread. I have worked around that by calling release in a thread that only does that. Is anyone else seeing and working around issues like these? I could use some advice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Bug in GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY (and work-around)
My OpenGL app animates only every now and then, so I decided to use
RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY to save some battery life. However, I found that
when I go to Home Screen and return to my app, I often get a black
screen, and I see this in logcat:
E/SurfaceComposerClient( 6055): using an invalid surface id=1,
identity=735 should be 738
This seems to be caused by this code in GLSurfaceView (1.6 here, but
2.0 has same problem):
synchronized (this) {
if (mPaused) {
mEglHelper.finish();
needStart = true;
}
while (needToWait()) {
wait();
}
...
}
if (needStart) {
mEglHelper.start();
..
If I use RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY, I will be stuck inside the wait()
call. When my app is paused/resumed, GLSurfaceView.{onPause,onResume}
will be called, by the change in mPaused will be lost. So when wait()
finally finishes, the mEglHelper.finish() and mEglHelper.start() lines
are not executed, and I end up drawing into the wrong surface.
The work around is simple but a bit ugly:
public MyView() {
super();
setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY);
}
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_WHEN_DIRTY);
requestRender();
}
public void onPause() {
setRenderMode(GLSurfaceView.RENDERMODE_CONTINUOUSLY);
android.os.SystemClock.sleep(60);
super.onPause();
}
The trick is to temporarily get the GLSurfaceView to run in
RENDERMODE_CONTINUOUSLY. I found the sleep(60) to be necessary to
avoid race conditions that somehow left me hanging inside the wait()
but I am not sure if this is 100% scientific.
Anyway, cheers, and save a few battery bars!
P.S., I found this to be somewhat disconcerting ... as the longevity
of this bug shows not too many people are trying to use OpenGL to make
their UI faster -- and battery efficient. This probably means that
iPhone apps will continue to look-and-feel better than Android for
quite some time :-(
