[android-developers] Re: Which book to use.
I was in your position six months ago and purchased Mark's books as well as Unlocking Android. I found them quite useful. In addition, I suggest going over the samples included in the SDK, searching google.code for examples and also the hundreds of other useful sources around. Once you start something and run into a problem or question, post here on this forum and you'll get excellent help. -John Coryat Radar Now!

[android-developers] Re: Writing to file Assets folder
Hi , My application has a shared library developed in C.

Is there provision in ManifestFile or apk to bundle my configuration files and whenever apk is installed they will be kept in some writable directory ?

[android-developers] Remote display for demo
Is there an easy way to view/control an android device from the connected computer? I've searched a bit and see that some people have put a vnc server on the device, but it appears to require rooting the phone, which I'd rather not do. In the SDK, using DDMS, I see I can take a screen shot quite easily. If you want to show an app to someone running on a real device, and they're not standing right next to you, what do you do? The only 2 options I can think of are 1)a camera, or 2)use the emulator. Does anyone have a better solution?

Re: [android-developers] db insert auto increment
Hi, You don't need to pass anything. Try to use myDB.insert instead of myDB.execSQL, for instance: ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(field1, value_for_field1); values.put(field2, value_for_field2); myDB.insert(MY_TABLE, null, values); Realize that you do not need to inform what is the value for your PK field. After calling myDB.insert you will get, as return, the PK value used to create your record. You also can find more detailed information on http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteDatabase.html#insert(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, android.content.ContentValues) Éderson On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 12:11 PM, Jags jag...@gmail.com wrote: i am doing sqlite3 my tables's pk is auto-increment.

[android-developers] Re: Inconsistent results from date additions loop
You don't know how many milliseconds there are in a day, or even how many hours there are. Most days have 24 hours, one may have 23 and an other may have 25 hours ( DST ). And this depends whether your timezone has DST or not. The Calendar class should be able to figure all this out. However, if you're just interested in 'before' or 'after', then comparing the dates using the milliseconds is OK, since you don't need to know the exact amount.

I've managed to get stack traces (http://pastebin.ca/1705719), and it shows the crash happening because TextView is calling SpannableStringBuilder#subSequence with a bad range.

[android-developers] Re: Camera Preview Filter Choppiness
How fast is 'decodeYUV' method? You call this method while your canvas is locked. If 'decodeYUV' is slow, it not only makes your background thread sluggish, but your main GUI-thread as well, because the canvas is locked for too long. Also, you don't synchronize on '_data'... Your implementation of 'onPreviewFrame' is filling '_data' and your background thread is reading it. The filling(=arraycopy) of '_data' may not be finished before your it's being read by your background thread.

Re: [android-developers] [Android Manifest] How to set same XML attributes to all activities ?
Sorry, I don't believe there is a way to do this. (If there is, it would be this attribute on the application tag.) We strongly recommend that people stick with the standard behavior of allowing the system to restart an activity due to a configuration change, since: (1) This takes care of a lot of things for you and you real. (2) It is very unlikely you will be able to actually correctly handle all of them yourself (such as a locale change), so you are going to need to behave well anyway. (3) This is really the same mechanism that is used to restore an application when brought to the foreground after its process is killed, so if you aren't correctly dealing with an activity restart then you are broken in this case as well.

[android-developers] Re: Reproducable FC - bug in textview?
I think the problem is like this. In the portrait orientation, if there is a spannable object, it might be keeping indexes for displaying some styling. So, say, you have bold style for chars from 4 to 39. No when the orientation changes, this range now changes to 39 to 4. And now if you are doing a substring anywhere and other such operation, you will get this error. So, I guess, if you can check the start and the end values, and always make sure that the start is smaller than the end, by swapping the values, you can avoid this. I am not very sure about this issue. But you can try this.

[android-developers] Market Support Questions From Users/Buyers
I get a slow but steady stream of users who have purchased or tried to purchase my app but have trouble with the market. Typically it's because the app won't download, or didn't install properly. This is not the norm. The vast majority of downloads work properly, so it is not a broken .apk file or anything like that. They seem to be problems directly related to the market and/or the phone.

[android-developers] ActiveSync warnings on exchange server caused by Droid users only
We have users setup on our coprorate email server connecting using activesync. Most users are windows mobile and iPhones. We currently have 2 droids for testing (one is mine!). I get warnings in my exchange server application logs like this. It only began when we started testing the droids. Event Type: Warning Event Source: Server ActiveSync Event Category: None Event ID: 3033 Date:12/2/2009 Time:3:32:30 PM User:username Computer: EXCHANGE Description: The average of the most recent [200] heartbeat intervals used by clients is less than or equal to [540]. Make sure that your firewall configuration is set to work correctly with Exchange ActiveSync and direct push technology. Specifically, make sure that your firewall is configured so that requests to Exchange ActiveSync do not expire before they have the opportunity to be processed. For more information about how to configure firewall settings when using Exchange ActiveSync, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 905013, Enterprise Firewall Configuration for Exchange ActiveSync Direct Push Technology (Enterprise firewall configuration for Exchange ActiveSync Direct Push Technology). I have modified my firewall here to meet MS's recommendations for timeout values - mine are at 900 seconds. It seems that the droid's activesync is doing something a little different than the standard activesync session with the server. Does anyone else manage an exchange server and have access to these logs? Please look to see if you're getting the same warning. It's logged about 1 time per hour. The only thing that I haven't tried is restarting the server after the changes on our firewall. I don't expect this to be an issue. Thanks!
