[android-developers] Re: Hidden Contacts
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.

I have the same problem, but I need a better solution. I'm doing a managed query on the contacts and am already filtering out entries that do not have a DISPLAY_NAME, but I still get all the suggested contacts. I need to deal with contacts that have a name but no phone number or email address. I guess the proper way would be to check in which group a contact is, but what's the quickest way to do that in a simple managed query? And what group is the official "Contacts" group?

[android-developers] Re: how to implement scrolling text?
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. :) On 3月10日, 下午1时55分, soniya wrote: > I am talking about this API Demo: API Demos -> Text -> Marquee > > I tried selecting the textbut it does not move...not even a > millimeter :( > > Am I missing something?? > > On Mar 4, 9:28 pm, Romain Guy wrote: > > > The marquee starts when a TextView gets focused/selected.

[android-developers] SimpleCursorAdapter and setListAdapter problems
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
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="60px">
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: Set Screen Orientation of a Tab
When you call setRequestedOrientation(), your activity will be restarted in the new orientation. During that time you could very well end up calling it with a different value while initializing. You might try putting breakpoints wherever you call it and seeing why it is being called.

[android-developers] Re: Set Screen Orientation of a Tab
Thank you for the quick response. If that's not possible then is it possible to merely change orientation when switching to a Tab and to switch back to another orientation when leaving that tab? I tried to implement that behavior by using the "setRequestedOrientation" method of Activity in the onCreate method of the activities displayed in my tabs but I seem to have gotten the device stuck in an infinite loop of orientation switches. I'm not sure why that happened as after all only one onCreate method should've been called when accessing a single tab. On Mar 19, 2:49 am, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > No it is not, sorry.

[android-developers] Re: Mp3 file read problem in Real device (G1)
Hello andrioders, After working for few hours, i over come problem of not getting mp3 file from SDCARD of G1 device. instead of passing Path as static String as /sdcard, i pass android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath(); above line will give a "/sdcard", but make sure that ur Sdcard has same path, with no directories in it, At present my Sdcard as "Music" Folder, that the real cause of problem, it was not been able to find a mp3 file in root directory of / sdcard, Hence in end i pass android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory ().getPath() + File.seperator + "Music"; And now it is working..

[android-developers] Re: Dynamically loading a .jar file at Runtime
Hi all, Thanks for your reply. Security will be one concern but , my plan is to load the required .jar files in the sdcard only when it is necessary and I will remove that .jar files from the /sdcard when my application execution completes. 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 ( Dynamic link Lib) in the .net framework.

[android-developers] Re: A simple question regarding inter-process communication.
If you are communicating between activities, you wouldn't use interfaces at all -- all of the communication with be by sending Intents between them in various ways, and you can use Intent.putExtra() to put strings and other data in them. If you are communicating via a Service, you can use Messenger as the interface returned by onBind(), and you can stuff fairly arbitrary data in the Message with message.setData().

[android-developers] A simple question regarding inter-process communication.
Just say I have two applications, each with one activity running on separate processes and I want to send a simple string between them. For the purposes of this example, let us say I have a button that sends whatever is typed into an EditText view to the other application where it is then displayed. Do I have to expose a remote interface via a service that co-resides between the two applications? Or can I do something simpler (is there a way to pass data between processes without defining your interface using AIDL)? Thanks for clearing this up for me, as I seem to be struggling with performing IPC at the moment. I'm pretty sure I have to use the Android IPC path and generate a remote interface using AIDL. I'm just not sure about the binding to service part. Cheers! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Services are just completely different from receivers, which are different from activities. They don't receive any broadcasts at all. Neither do activities. 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.) 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). -- 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.

[android-developers] Re: how to run sample application in real harware
All You need to know is how developing on a device.
Essentially before debug/run you app you must install the driver fot
the android G1:
- Connect your G1 to your PC with the USB cable
- Into G1 go to Menu->Setup->Applications->Development, turn on the
USB debugging.
- When your g1 is detected, your system ask for a driver, select as
destination folder your 'ANDROID SDK DIR' /usb_driver
If all goes fine you are ready to debug/run
- in your eclipse run the android project and TADA now you will se a
list of the installed device, the emulator and the device. Now ...
Use the emulator lol.
have a nice day man.

[android-developers] How to modify properties of a list in a ListActivity
Hello
I have a simple ListActivity midlet. It populates the list using a
String array which is passed to the setListAdapter method.
i.e.:
String[] directoryListing = {"\etc","\dev", "writetext.txt"};
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,
R.layout.main, R.id.selection,
directoryListing));
However my question is, how is it possible to modify the properties of
the list so if I know "\etc" and "\dev" are directories and I want to
change the text colour to reflect that it is a directory how can I do
this ?
Can anyone point me to any API's ?
Thanks

The problem is that it wants to pull classes.dex out of the jar/apk and put it in /data/dalvik-cache, but it doesn't have permission to do so.

[android-developers] Re: How to detect Fling action in my widget
Thanks. I have setup breakpoints for all OnGestureDetector methods.
It did call onDown and I return true for the method.
But onFling still did not get called.
Any other idea?
Thank you.

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

[android-developers] Re: Do ProximityAlerts actually work?
I think I may be onto something...I can get PAs to work "in the field" if I send one *and only one* PA to the LocationManager. I'm now thinking that the last PA is the only one "active". If that's true, then I'll have to write my own routine to figure out which landmark is closest to me which kind of defeats the purpose of PAs, in my mind.

[android-developers] How to detect Fling action in my widget
Hi,
Can you please tell me how can I detect Fling action in my own widget?
I have implemented my widget as OnGestureListener.
And like in Gallery, I have a
"GestureDetector mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(this);"
For my onTouchEvent(), I have
@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
// Give everything to the gesture detector
boolean retValue = mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
return retValue;
}
But my public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float
velocityX, float velocityY) is never get claeed.
CAn you please tell me why?
Thank you.

[android-developers] Re: Putting Android on Par with the iPhone Software
Hey Guys, First, I want to apologize for the lack of coherence, or paragraphs (sorry Al), I've had a pretty minimal amount of sleep this week :P. To Carl, I fully acknowledge the iPhone shortcomings and the grant potential for Android, it's why I'm, perhaps blindly, an uber Android supporter. However, what I was actually trying to get at, which thankfully has been addressed by Paper and Bradley are the shortcomings, the specific features, functions, and usability that Android lacks. Even if you feel it is fully functional in your opinion, what is the next big feature, the next step in Android development, what you would love to see in Android, its next wild feature that may not even be supported by today's technology. It seems to me that Google, which has in my opinion the ability to create an OS three times as good as Apple's, has been dropping the ball a bit on Android, which in turn ruins its reputation, regardless of it's actual functionality. I can't begin to postulate the cause of this lackluster performance, however, personally I think it's that Google has no incentive to make it the best it can be because it makes no direct source of revenue (Al, the 30% isn't supposed to be for profit at all, but rather to clear up the costs of the transaction and corollary costs, so that Google breaks even). A view of a Google search on an iPhone equally profits Google as a Google search on an Android powered device. However, it could be argued that Google wants to be able to control the means that its users and customers access its product (an explanation that also gives reason as to why they developed Chrome). While I'd love to discuss Google's economic incentives and overall financial plan, that must be saved for a different thread. It was my intention that this thread would be a source where people invested in Android could list what features, functions they wish to see in Android, along with all other ideas as to what Google should do. If you were the Android project manager, what would you do, what ideas would you push, what issues would you resolve. Furthermore, it was meant as an area that Android developers could collaborate, critiquing, contributing to, and refining others' ideas. Healthy debate is good, and eventually if it becomes a large enough source of ideas for Android, it'll be noticed (or I'll send them the thread) by Google engineers working on Android and make it much simpler to implement the ideas. As Android developers, you know more about this than the average luddite, and in the spirit of open source, we must come together to work with Google and make Android everything we can imagine it to be.

[android-developers] Re: Putting Android on Par with the iPhone Software
An excellent comparison of interfaces. Although the iPhone doesn't sem to have the capabilities the Android OS has, the Android interface is, as already mentioned in other posts, lacking. It would be nice to see a set of standards that all apps should attempt to adhere to. So far I only see bits and pieces of the 'suggested' standard placed randomly throughout the developer site. There should be a dedicated page where all expected standards are listed, at a minimum the user interface specifications. If this clearly written specification has already been made, please indicate the location with a link. On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 10:54 PM, Bradley S.

[android-developers] Re: Fails to connect to AP(which didn't support DHCP Service)
The 169.254.x.x IP is a Windows convention - and usually causes more trouble than it's worth. It doesn't appear that this version of the system (or the configuration UI at least) supports a static IP address for the WiFi interface. The underlying Linux does, of course. But without the proper UI, an ordinary G1 can't configure it.

[android-developers] Re: Putting Android on Par with the iPhone Software
Pat, I don't wish to get into a religious debate here, but for the purposes of constructive, concrete criticism/suggestion, I'd like to mention something here. I have / use / develop on both the iPhone and Google Android. It is very interesting to set both devices side by side, and attempt to do the same exact thing, whether it is make a phone call, run an app, change settings, etc. Even if the performance were exactly the same, the ease of use and user experience is significantly different, tilted heavily in favor of the iPhone. Android suffers from a lack of consistency in the user experience. Sometimes typing is required on the hardware keyboard, sometimes on the phone. Sometime navigation is by the hardware menu and back buttons, sometimes there are navigation buttons on the touch screen. Sometimes menus can be dragged from the title bar or the bottom of the screen, sometimes the hardware buttons are required. And the fact that typing which requires the hardware keyboard also requires sliding the keyboard out and a change of screen orientation isn't user friendly either. Apple has taken a lot of criticism from those who do not appreciate App Store submissions being rejected because of misuse of user interface standards. I personally appreciate it, because the protection of user interface metaphors are what give consistency to the iPhone across apps, and make apps on the iPhone which use standard interface metaphors intuitive by default. If I see a navigation bar or a tab bar or a disclosure button on a table, I know exactly what those will do in *any* application. IMHO, Google would really benefit from a critical analysis of Android from a user standpoint, and a real focus on establishment of widely adopted user interface standards on apps. At this point, Android really has the feel of an environment that has been oriented primarily towards developers, not towards users. Don't get me wrong, Android has done some great things -- things I really appreciate as a developer. But at the end of the day, it is all about the users. Just my 2 cents...

I have posted this topic before. But I can't find it in the topic list. I have a G1 phone and use it in mainland China. But I can't config it to work with browser and MMS at the same time. However with different APN, the browser and MMS can work seperately. For browser, I use following APN config: --- name:cmnet apn: cmnet proxy:blank port:blank username:blank password:blank server:blank mmsc:blank mms proxy:blank mms port:blank mcc:460 mnc:00 apn type:blank -- For MMS, I use following APN config: -- name:cmwap apn: cmwap proxy:blank port:blank username:blank password:blank server:blank mmsc:http://mmsc.monternet.com mms proxy:010.000.000.172 mms port:80 mcc:460 mnc:00 apn type:blank --- When above two APNs both exists, only browser can work. MMS doesn't work any more. Does any google export know that how to config G1 to make both browser and MMS work? If it's a known issue, is there any roadmap to fix it?

[android-developers] a wrapper script for /usr/bin/find to accelerate building of Android code
Hi all,
I find the current building system of Android uses /usr/bin/find heavily,
iotop[1] shows /usr/bin/find consumes 98% disk I/O bandwidth, the heavy
I/O load makes virtual terminal hang frequently (We login a central Ubuntu
server with ssh), it's very very annoying, so I write this little wrapper
script to cache output of /usr/bin/find.
Simple usage is shown below, see the script itself for detailed description.
...save the attachment as $HOME/bin/find...
chmod u+x $HOME/bin/find
cd top-dir-of-android-code
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch 1
make
Below is output of `time make` that just checks all targets:
cached find:
real0m13.958s
user0m10.749s
sys 0m4.124s
original /usr/bin/find:
real1m14.578s
user0m8.773s
sys 0m2.368s
I hope this script is useful for you.

#
# Purpose:
# cache result of find command to avoid heavy load on the disk I/O.
#
# Usage:
# change your PATH temporarily to use find instead of /usr/bin/find,
# delete corresponding file under $CACHE if you add or delete some
# files.
#
# You can change REAL_COMMAND below to cache output of other commands,
# this script is generalized like Perl's Memoize module:

[android-developers] how to use WebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword() ?
I am trying to use WebView.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword() to handle
basic HTTP authentication on displaying a web page. I wouldn't think
it's anything complicated but I cannot find any documentation on how
to use it, an example, etc.
I've tried what I would guess is the usage:
webview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webview.setHttpAuthUsernamePassword("www.foo.com","realm
text","joe","xyz123");
webview.loadUrl("http://www.foo.com/index.html";);
but I can see from the web server logs that the authentication
information is not being sent. The client side (in the emulator) shows
only a blank (black) view. The same url loaded in the emulators
browser loads fine.
Any suggestions or pointers to examples on how to use this? Or an
alternative to handle the authentication information?
Thanks

[android-developers] Accessing contact' email addresses
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:47 amPost subject: Accessing contact'
email addresses
Hi!
I'm developing an application in which I need to display user a list
of contacts and their email addresses so that user can choose one of
them.
I've got some help from Internet and I'm able to display a list of
contacts and their number by the following code:
---
JAVA CODE
---
public class ShowContacts extends ExpandableListActivity implements
OnChildClickListener {
private int mGroupIdColumnIndex;
private String mPhoneNumberProjection[] = new String[] {
People.Phones._ID, People.NUMBER // CHANGE HERE
};
private ExpandableListAdapter mAdapter;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Query for people
Cursor groupCursor = managedQuery(People.CONTENT_URI,
new String[] {People._ID, People.NAME}, null, null,
null);
// Cache the ID column index
mGroupIdColumnIndex = groupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow
(People._ID);
// Set up our adapter
mAdapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter(groupCursor,
this,
android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1,
android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1,
new String[] {People.NAME}, // Name for group layouts
new int[] {android.R.id.text1},
new String[] {People.NUMBER}, // AND CHANGE HERE
new int[] {android.R.id.text1});
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
}
public class MyExpandableListAdapter extends
SimpleCursorTreeAdapter {
public MyExpandableListAdapter(Cursor cursor, Context context,
int groupLayout,
int childLayout, String[] groupFrom, int[] groupTo,
String[] childrenFrom,
int[] childrenTo) {
super(context, cursor, groupLayout, groupFrom, groupTo,
childLayout, childrenFrom,
childrenTo);
}
@Override
protected Cursor getChildrenCursor(Cursor groupCursor) {
// Given the group, we return a cursor for all the
children within that group
// Return a cursor that points to this contact's phone
numbers
Uri.Builder builder = People.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, groupCursor.getLong
(mGroupIdColumnIndex));
builder.appendEncodedPath
(People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Uri phoneNumbersUri = builder.build();
return managedQuery(phoneNumbersUri,
mPhoneNumberProjection, null, null, null);
}
}
@Override
public boolean onChildClick(android.widget.ExpandableListView
parent,
View v, int groupPosition, int childPosition, long id)
{
AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder
(ShowContacts.this)
.setMessage(((TextView) v).getText().toString())
.setPositiveButton("OK", null).create();
dialog.show();
return true;
}
}
---
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] How to move file from sdcard to private location
I want to move some files from sdcard to /data/data/myapp/files folder, I can use OpenInputFile and OpenOutputFile and write to it, then delete the original one. But it is slow, so, I tried to use oldFile.Rename(newFile), but it always return false. Any idea? The reason I am doing this is to hide some files from my sdcard, so, nobody can see them. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] How to config G1 to make both browser and MMS work?
I have a G1 phone and use it in mainland China. But I can't config it to work with browser and MMS at the same time. However with different APN, the browser and MMS can work seperately. For browser, I use following APN config: --- name:cmnet apn: cmnet proxy:blank port:blank username:blank password:blank server:blank mmsc:blank mms proxy:blank mms port:blank mcc:460 mnc:00 apn type:blank -- For MMS, I use following APN config: -- name:cmwap apn: cmwap proxy:blank port:blank username:blank password:blank server:blank mmsc:http://mmsc.monternet.com mms proxy:010.000.000.172 mms port:80 mcc:460 mnc:00 apn type:blank --- When above two APNs both exists, only browser can work. MMS doesn't work any more. Does any google export know that how to config G1 to make both browser and MMS work? If it's a known issue, is there any roadmap to fix it?
