[android-developers] Re: Another AbsoluteLayout deprecation question
I believe I have politely and thoroughly stated my question. Anyone have an answer? Everybody, even to an extent the core Android team folk on this list, is contributing answers on a volunteer basis.

I'm a little fearful of reading third-party blogs that suggest solutions to the deprecation because in some discussion threads the Google employees have explicitly said the blogs contain misunderstandings or inaccuracies. According to Ms. Hackborn's most recent(?) post on the topic, while AbsoluteLayout is deprecated, it is not going away.

Again, AbsoluteLayout was deprecated to encourage developers to use real layout managers. AbsoluteLayout just won't work with other screen resolutions and densities. Like Dianne said, it won't go away but we want you guys to think very hard before using it. It is (most of the time) bad practice and will only come back to haunt you in the future.

[android-developers] Options for synchroinizing data between Android and backend database
Hi all, Wanted to develop a mobile application for Android devices that stores data locally and synchonizes (bidirectionally) local data with a database server every 'N' minutes. That is, instead of building a web application accesible from Android's browser that forces me to be always connected, I wanted to try the approach of sometimes connected scenario. I was thinking in using MySQL as server backend, but new to Android and don't know which are the options to communicate and synchronize data between mobile devices and servers. Is there any Android library that makes this always hellish synchronization work easier? What about Google Gears?

private void markUser(int index) {
btnArray[index].setText(mark);
btnArray[index].setClickable(false);

How can I make it visible??? I'm not thorough with how the UI thread

[android-developers] Re: Another AbsoluteLayout deprecation question
Right, and unlike some of the other posters who seemed to have a slight more agitated tone, I really tried to emphasize that I want to get on board with respect to this particular issue. I'm not complaining about AbsoluteLayout's deprecation at all, I just want to write my code correctly, and if AbsoluteLayout is not the recommended way to place one view at an arbitrary location on top of another view, I was just wondering what *is* the recommended way. I was getting confused because some places said FrameLayout and RelativeLayout were the solution, but other places were very clear that they weren't the best solution. I had also seen the suggestions of rolling a layout manager on my own...I was just...a little unsteady about that. I'll look into making my own layout manager. Please consider how confusing this is for those of us not already in the know. For example, I would assume this consists of writing my own layout class, something akin to AbsoluteLayout or LinearLayout, etc. The funny thing, which I find very confusing, is that none of those are actually subclasses of Layout! They subclass ViewGroup, while Layout is some other class which doesn't seem to have any direct connection to the existing Layouts. Thus my impending confusion. I'll do some research on layout managers on my own first, the pointer in that direction was sufficient, thank you...I'm just asking that you please realize the apparent discrepancy in terminology which I find confusing.

[android-developers] Re: Polite discussion of lite/trial vs pro distribution
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. Well, and it didn't help that Google screwed up with the release of paid apps. As you remember developers are not on equal footing. Paid apps were available in mid of Q1, but only for developers from the US and UK. A major screwup. If there is one thing we learned from Apple's Appstore then it's this: The winner (of a category) takes it all. So what should you have done as a developer from another country? I wanted to release a paid version, but I couldn't. At the same time my competitors released full versions of their apps. I tried to use Ads as a way to limit my free, but fully functional version, but that only gave me bad reviews, no money (of course, I knew that) and in the end I scraped even that. After Google continued to disappoint me with their special communication style and no end was in sight I gave up. There isn't that much functionality left that I could implement to justify a paid version. And now my app is free (as in beer) and will be the only significant app I wrote for the Android platform. I invested 500 hours and I am not gonna do that again for free. I can't do that to my girl friend and paying job again. Having said that. Since yesterday, some more countries were allowed to promote the failure that is called Google Checkout. So at some point in time, developers of new apps will be on equal footing. And burned developers like me, will not pollute the Android Market anymore with free apps that should have cost money. So these are just growing problems and will go away soon. I think this is part of the whole growing up thing, for Google and their Android Market, but also for developers. And maybe, in an ideal world, users will learn to appreciate paying for polished, non-trivial software (like they do on the Mac platform), but I am not holding my breath. On the downside, I think, that Android is already established as a platform for free loaders. Let's see how Palm handles this.

Also, most paid apps on Android market are harnessed equally by the free loaders, so you're not the only one.

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

[android-developers] Maps with custom tiles
Hi! I've been searching hardly the past two days, looking for a way to implement a map view with custom map tiles. I mean; i have to use maps tiles different than the ones provided by Google Maps. Someone said here that there is a way, but he didn't tell the way to do that. I know that you can do that with Google Maps API for Web, but i've studied Android's API and i can't find a method to load your map tiles. I would appreciate any help and/or example to do this. I'm really stucked and the client need this feature in the application.

[android-developers] Re: Android-Calendar, How to get first day of week?
You're probably looking for something like Time.weekDay, which you can get at through Time.setToNow(): http://d.android.com/reference/android/text/format/Time.html#weekDay From that weekDay, you can also get a localized string through DateUtils.getDayOfWeekString(). Here's a quick example where I used it to generate the correct string (Mon, Wed, etc.) based on a given UTC time: http://code.google.com/p/android-sky/source/browse/trunk/Sky/src/org/jsharkey/sky/DetailsActivity.java#181 j On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:01 AM, daehoon jeondaeh...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, all There is a string, it's value is 5-14-2009. we know 14 is Wed, so 12 is Monday.

[android-developers] Re: Polite discussion of lite/trial vs pro distribution
Hi Mariano, yes, I know what you mean. I was in the same position and wanted to start before my 'competitors', so I decided to start very early with a free 'beta'. I think this was the right direction because it still the only application for this porpose. I will keep a limited version in the future and will start the next weeks with a 'Pro license' that will switch off some limitations in the free version. Now we can offer paid apps from Germany. We will see, which negative comments I will get for this... If you are interested in a pro license you can have a look at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/df5a3a1d08b9ae2f Mirko P.S.

And there are lots of people with lots of free time creating free apps, thus reinforcing the mentality of the free loaders. Well, and it didn't help that Google screwed up with the release of paid apps. As you remember developers are not on equal footing. Paid apps were available in mid of Q1, but only for developers from the US and UK. A major screwup. If there is one thing we learned from Apple's Appstore then it's this: The winner (of a category) takes it all. So what should you have done as a developer from another country? I wanted to release a paid version, but I couldn't. At the same time my competitors released full versions of their apps. I tried to use Ads as a way to limit my free, but fully functional version, but that only gave me bad reviews, no money (of course, I knew that) and in the end I scraped even that. After Google continued to disappoint me with their special communication style and no end was in sight I gave up. There isn't that much functionality left that I could implement to justify a paid version. And now my app is free (as in beer) and will be the only significant app I wrote for the Android platform. I invested 500 hours and I am not gonna do that again for free. I can't do that to my girl friend and paying job again. Having said that. Since yesterday, some more countries were allowed to promote the failure that is called Google Checkout. So at some point in time, developers of new apps will be on equal footing. And burned developers like me, will not pollute the Android Market anymore with free apps that should have cost money. So these are just growing problems and will go away soon. I think this is part of the whole growing up thing, for Google and their Android Market, but also for developers. And maybe, in an ideal world, users will learn to appreciate paying for polished, non-trivial software (like they do on the Mac platform), but I am not holding my breath. On the downside, I think, that Android is already established as a platform for free loaders. Let's see how Palm handles this.

[android-developers] gravity vs. layout_gravity? I'm lost.
Hi, I think I've lost enough hair over this, so now I'll ask. What is the difference between those attributes? According to the documentation of R.attr, there isn't any difference (doc text is exactly the same, see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html), but apparently, that's simply not true. For example, the gravity attribute can be used on EditText to set the text alignment (e.g. left, center, right). I often found that neither of them work to align a view at all. For example, I need to float two text views in a relative layout, one going to the left below a title bar, the other going to the right below the title bar. So what I did was this: RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent !-- the title bar -- ImageView ... /ImageView TextView android:id=@+id/left_text android:layout_below=@id/title_bar android:layout_gravity=left ... / TextView android:id=@+id/right_text android:layout_below=@id/title_bar android:layout_gravity=right ... / /RelativeLayout That doesn't work, however. The left text is indeed aligned to the left inside its parent (the relative layout), but the right text is not aligned to the right; instead, it's placed directly to the right of the left text. Why's that? Thanks, Matthias --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I get much better performance using a regular View but there I have the issue that it doesn't feel double-buffered and I see the image being built up of all its elements and this is only helped marginally if I try to record first to a Picture object either.

[android-developers] Re: Many Lists in one Layout ?
I'm guessing that all of your layouts except one are ending up with a zero width, or zero length. In any case, the simplest way I can think of to put multiple lists in the same layout is to use LinearLayout, and set a pixel height to each list: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android android:orientation=vertical android:background=# android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent TextView android:id=@+id/text_view android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=wrap_content android:text=@string/hello/ ListView android:id=@+id/list_1 android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=100px android:layout_below=@id/text_view/ ListView android:id=@+id/list_2 android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=100px android:layout_below=@id/list_2/ ListView android:id=@+id/list_3 android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=100px android:layout_below=@id/list_3/ /LinearLayout You can set the pixel height in either the xml or in the code by calling ListView.setMinimumHeight, which is best called in either your onCreate or onStart override methods of your activity.

It doesn't really matter, especially on a G1. The screen orientation is handled at the low level by SurfaceFlinger so the orientation doesn't impact the actual Skia (SGL) drawing commands.

Hi, Well, first of all RelativeLayout ignores layout_gravity. Then you need to know that gravity means apply gravity to the content of this view whereas layout_gravity means apply gravity to this view within its parent. So on a TextView, gravity will align the text within the bounds of the TextView whereas layout_gravity will align the TextView within the bounds of its parent.

[android-developers] Re: Another AbsoluteLayout deprecation question
if AbsoluteLayout is not the recommended way to place one view at an arbitrary location on top of another view, I was just wondering what *is* the recommended way. Custom layout or FrameLayout. I was getting confused because some places said FrameLayout and RelativeLayout were the solution, but other places were very clear that they weren't the best solution. FrameLayout is just fine, I don't understand why other developers claim it is not. You can specify the margins of the widgets, which is basically like giving them absolute coordinates. Note that I strongly advise against doing so. I had also seen the suggestions of rolling a layout manager on my own...I was just...a little unsteady about that. Don't be. It's easy and usually you can achieve much more control over your layout as well as much better performance. You can look at the source code of Home (in the SDK's samples) or Launcher (in the platform's source code) to see two examples of custom layouts. I myself write custom layouts in my apps because I can make them do exactly what I want. I'll look into making my own layout manager. Please consider how confusing this is for those of us not already in the know. For example, I would assume this consists of writing my own layout class, something akin to AbsoluteLayout or LinearLayout, etc. The funny thing, which I find very confusing, is that none of those are actually subclasses of Layout! Because there's no Layout class. Well, there is one but it belongs to the *text* package. Just ignore it. -- Romain Guy Android framework engineer romain...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.

That's what i do right now. My app does its best to have as much memory as possible before starting to open a big image for editing (i have written a notification-system that caches and other classes can register with. They'll then get notified when bitmap memory is necessary, asking them to free as much 'bitmap memory' as possible (and other memory if necessary)). But if an OOM error still happens, i catch it, clearing even more memory and putting up a Toast to warn the user something has gone wrong and that he/she may try again. This scheme works quite well, but my app would like to know if it could open a full-sized image in 32-bit color or a if it should present the user with the option to select full-size image with 16bit color or a half-sized image in 32bit color.

[android-developers] Re: EMMA Code coverage and JUnit
Hi everyone I discovered a way of getting the android code instrumented, using the full source from google. On the project Android.mk I added the line EMMA_INSTRUMENT:=true and voilá, it instrumented the code. Now I'm facing problems to run the instrumented code. Although emma.jar is inside the image and installed correctly during emulator startup, I keep getting errors that indicate that Android is not being able to find the classes provided by emma. I tried to force the usage of emma library by adding on the test manifest uses-library android:name=emma / but if I do that, it does not allow me to install the test application because Android thinks that emma library is missing. Does anyone have any ideas that I could try to fix this problem. I really think I'm near of solving this puzzle, but I could not find the last part yet.

[android-developers] Re: EMMA Code coverage and JUnit
Hi guys,
I don't know if this thread is still active, but I spent some hours
trying to make the EMMA instrumented code generation works.
I actually came pretty close of getting it, I think. You can use the
EMMA_INSTRUMENT:=true on the project Android.mk file to turn on the
EMMA instrumentation for that project. Everything seems to work, but
at the end I get a bizarre error on Calendar Tests:

[android-developers] Re: User input in an AppWidget?
How did they code the Google Search Widget? Is that a hack? On Apr 16, 7:47 am, Jeff Sharkey jshar...@android.com wrote: Jon, you're right, there isn't a direct way of including an EditText into a widget. The major reason for this is we don't have a good way of identifying how that text should be sent back across a PendingIntent. To solve this from the framework side, one approach would to add the text to the extras bundle with the R.id of the EditText as the key, and using Intent.fillIn() when sending the PendingIntent. But then we run into issues when there is a button that should also trigger an action: do we bundle any+all EditText values with that intent as well? Instead of solving this problem with the hack described above, we're holding off until we come up with a better solution. A workaround in the meantime might be to have the PendingIntent launch an activity with Theme.Dialog or Theme.Panel that contains an EditText. j On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 8:00 PM, Jon Colverson jjc1...@gmail.com wrote: Hello.

[android-developers] adb install failure with return code -12
hi guys, I just installed android sdk1.5 on a ubuntu 8.04 machine. The IDE is eclipse3.4 with ADT. I created a HelloAndroid project with only the automatically generated code. It compiled successfully and worked on the emulator. But when I tried to install the apk to my G1. It failed with only return code [-12]. I tried anroid 1.1 and android 1.5. The results are the same.

[android-developers] Re: getting location name from lat, lon
Hello jj,
Is your problem solved?
I found that there are apis in android.location to get all.
Geocoder class is basically used to give the location based on
lat ,long nad viceversa.
I am writing a code to get the latitude,longi and then location based
on that lat and long.
It is wrong somewhere.But you can just see Geocoder 's getFromLocation
(), to get the location from lat long.
I am also struggling to do the same.If urs is working ,do rep...
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Double lat =location.getLatitude();
Double longitude =location.getLongitude();
Geocoder ge=new Geocoder( ctx.getApplicationContext());
try {
ListAddress address=ge.getFromLocation(lat,
longitude, 3);
for(int i=0;i=address.size();i++){
ad=new Address(Locale.ENGLISH);
ad=address.get(i);
String city=ad.getSubAdminArea();
TextView tv=new TextView(this);
tv.append(city);
setContentView(tv);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}//new ArrayListAddress();
}
Regards,
Nish

Hi jj,
GeoLocation API is currently available as part of Google Gears but, as
far as i know, still not included in the Android platform. The only
solution is to call an external service in order to get the
information you need. In my opinion an external web service call will
also be the solution taken by the Android platform in the case this
functionality will be bundled in one of the future releases. The
amount of data needed is too big for such a small device.

[android-developers] Question on performance of layout inflater
I have question on what is the best approch to take.I have a header view in
all my screens of the app.
So is it best to have the setContent of the header view and then adding the
views by inflating them in the sub-class activity as below
Base extends Activity{
private Linearlayout mHeader;
public void onCreate(Bundle b){
setContentView(R.layout.header);
mHeader = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.myheader);
}
}
MyView extends Base{
public void onCreate(Bundle b){
m_Inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
ViewGroup layout = (ViewGroup)
m_Inflater.inflate(R.layout.actual_layout,
mHeader );
}
}
Or is it ideal to have the include tag in the xmls and setContentView at
once.

[android-developers] Re: gravity vs. layout_gravity? I'm lost.
Guys, thanks for clearing up! I'll file a bug against the documentation then, because there it says: public static final int gravity Specifies how to place an object, both its x and y axis, within a larger containing object. Which is true for layout_gravity, but not gravity. Apart from that, I solved my problem by wrapping the two TextViewS in a horizontal LinearLayout and setting the left text to have a larger weight than the right text, so that it pushes the right text to the edge of the container (which is a good solution for me, because the left text has dynamic length, while the right one is fixed). I suspected this would work, but I first refused to try it, because somewhere in the docs or on Romain's blog it was mentioned that using LinearLayoutS and weights would be more expensive than using e.g. a RelativeLayout, because of additional layout measurement cycles. It would be great though if things like these (i.e. that RelativeLayout ignores layout_gravity) would appear somewhere in the documentation. It's not immediately apparent to people why for some layouts the gravity is simply ignored, and for others it's not. Anyway, thanks!

According to the documentation of R.attr, there isn't any difference (doc text is exactly the same, see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html), but apparently, that's simply not true. For example, the gravity attribute can be used on EditText to set the text alignment (e.g. left, center, right). I often found that neither of them work to align a view at all. For example, I need to float two text views in a relative layout, one going to the left below a title bar, the other going to the right below the title bar. So what I did was this: RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; android:layout_width=fill_parent android:layout_height=fill_parent !-- the title bar -- ImageView ... /ImageView TextView android:id=@+id/left_text android:layout_below=@id/title_bar android:layout_gravity=left ... / TextView android:id=@+id/right_text android:layout_below=@id/title_bar android:layout_gravity=right ... / /RelativeLayout That doesn't work, however. The left text is indeed aligned to the left inside its parent (the relative layout), but the right text is not aligned to the right; instead, it's placed directly to the right of the left text.

I was hoping to write a widget for posting to Twitter as part of my nanoTweeter app. The interface I had in mind would look very similar to the Google Search widget, with an EditText and a submit Button, but as far as I can see there's no way to get at user input in a RemoteViews. Is that right, or am I overlooking something?

[android-developers] Re: Android Power Management
Please ask these questions on android-platform. Also the Android kernel is Linux, so you want to look in to what that does (plus the few specific drivers Android uses with it).

[android-developers] Re: Unable to open files
How are you actually trying to open the files, and what is the error/exception you're getting?

To test I placed a test.txt file in all three directories. Here is the code I've tried: String fname = text.txt; File rFile = new File(/sdcard/mytestfolder/ + fname); I also have tried this: file://+Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+/test.txt along with all sorts of other ways of writing it. When I do listfiles, I get the correct list of files set in an array. I've even tried getting the list and filtering out a specific file and try opening it that way and just trying the first item in the array. Is there some security that may be set that is making it so I cant open files?

[android-developers] How to select open GL objects from motion event?
Hi, I need to use GLSurfaceView to render some objects, and move or select the objects by finger touch. By overriding the onTouchEvent, I can receive incomming motion events. The motion event contains x and y position in the view, but can't map to open GL 3D world. Is there any way to know which object should be selected from received motion event?

[android-developers] Re: Is it faster to draw directly on a portrait or a landscape layout?
I don't know the actual G1 hardware. On some HW devices however even hardware rotation has its price like - power consumption - memory bandwidth issues If the architecture has shared memory between application processor and display controller, then even HW rotation might have one read and write the entire framebuffer in order to perform the rotation. Or if one wants to avoid the read and write of the frame buffer one had to perform scattered RAM accesses accross multiple RAM banks. Both can increase the memory bandwidth consumption and might thus stall the main processor more often. In order to test this you had to try running an application which modifies the screen rather frequently and which tries to perform some memory intensive (out of cache) native operations. If one case is slower, then you know, which rotation is 'native' or, that the hardware is built such, that there is no performance hit. Without knowing the HW in detail difficult to say. On May 14, 4:52 pm, Romain Guy romain...@google.com wrote: It doesn't really matter, especially on a G1. The screen orientation is handled at the low level by SurfaceFlinger so the orientation doesn't impact the actual Skia (SGL) drawing commands. The rotation itself is handled by a special hardware chip on G1.
