[android-developers] Re: droidappz.org
Ok, and then what? These are just kids and they are not getting rich on this. Look at their donations, they make change for coffee, that's all. My app showed up there within weeks after being published. At first I was mad. Their site showed how many people had downloaded it and I saw as many downloads as people who had legally purchased it. That was three months ago. Since then the number of pirated apps has doubled but the number of legally purchased ones have gone up 10 times. I left a comment on their site regarding my own app, saying that a cool new version is available and if they wanted to get it, they should just buy it. And some of them did. The best strategy is frequent updates. These kids always want the newest features. I realize that frequent updates won't work for all apps but if you can add something cool every 2-3 months, this may make a real difference. That being said, I wonder what the legality of a site like that is. A single CD letter would bring them to a screeching halt but something else will open up in their place. There was another discussion here about a Kentucky guy who SOLD other people's apps for half price on Craigslist. That is even worse than what these kids do. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Canvas Faster than OpenGL???
Re the emulator, it just has a software driver for OpenGL. Re the Droid, one problem you may be running into is a good EGL frame buffer configuration not being chosen. There's an interesting thread on the best configs for Droid here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/734a5f5d8d800ef1/53104ea7d9706f37 One thing that makes this more likely for the sprite method test is that it packages its own old version of GLSurfaceView. Meanwhile the version of GLSurfaceView included in Android has been getting updated in this area. For example, in Donut you can see it preferring configs with the smallest depth buffer, all other things it checks for being equal: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=opengl/java/android/opengl/GLSurfaceView.java;h=ccb27ccf2ad8ca4b93116aec9cbe36b1337bc01b;hb=refs/heads/donut#l671 But in Eclair it likes the first config with a depth buffer that is big enough: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=opengl/java/android/opengl/GLSurfaceView.java;h=9ca57bae7a1fe1d6ec818169d2fcc205276ea0e0;hb=refs/heads/eclair#l739 This was probably done because on the Droid the configs with a depth buffer of 24 don't have the EGL_SLOW_CONFIG caveat. The configs with a depth buffer of 16 do have EGL_SLOW_CONFIG. So a 24 depth buffer is faster than 16, and will be earlier in the list because eglChooseConfig returns configs with EGL_SLOW_CONFIG after configs without it. I haven't checked what the the version of GLSurfaceView in sprite method test does, but it might be worth checking to be sure you are getting a RGB565 config instead of RGB888, etc.. Another thing you may want to check is that sprite method test isn't being run in compatibility mode, as per this page: http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/guide/practices/screens_support.html That would mean the app is drawing to a smaller area that is then resized up. That could hurt performance. Avoiding that depends on updating the manifest, not just the build target.

[android-developers] Re: Cant find my content provider?
For anyone that comes across this type of error.
In my infinite graduate wisdom I had the content provider info outside the
application brackets in the xml manifest file!
Wasted a whole day cos of that! [?]

I thought I had it figured out with the database but that didn't work.
It seems that either my naming of the CONTENT_URI or something to do with
that is wrong or else a database/table for the settings never actually gets
created? if theres no data there for the content provider would I get that
error?
Or is it actually something to do with the CONTENT_URI?

[android-developers] Re: Finding all supported Intents.
As far as I know it is not possible to capture all the supported intents. You have to know the specific action name, or the class name if you're sending intent locally. So I guess it is not possible to implement some kind of Intent sniffer on the device. You may find some (not all) of the supported intent actions on the Intent class documentation: http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-CN/reference/android/content/Intent.html There are also some of the third party intent actions collected by the openintents project: http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable -- Best regards, Pawel On Dec 22, 11:42 am, Manjunatha M man...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, How do I LIST all the INTENTS supported by all the activities(all applications as well) in the Phone.

[android-developers] Question about sockets and connectivity
I'm the developer of an application that needs to keep a permanent connection with a remote server. In order to achieve this goal a socket instance is created when the application startups. The outputstream and inputstrem instances associated with the socket are used to exchange the data with the server. Also i have implemented a reconnection mechanism: when the connectivity of the device is down i launch a reconnection thread that detects if the connectivty has been restarted to recreate the connection with the server (creating a new socket). The main problem is a lot of users that have downloaded the application reported that the application only keeps connected a few minutes and is reconnecting so much. So these are my questions: -Is my approach (use a socket object) right to keep a permanent connection with a server? -Is there a limit of socket instances created in the same session of an application? Sometimes happens that after 10/20 tries the socket instance can't be created and the only alternative is closing the application and starting it again. Please take in account that this issue doesn't happen always. -Do you know if Android platform provides another way to achieve my goal? I will appreciate your help.

[android-developers] Waking up screen
All, I've been writing some code to toggle the screen from bright to dark (off). I've been using this code to turn the screen off: WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes(); lp.screenBrightness = 0; getWindow().setAttributes(lp); And this to turn it back on: WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes(); lp.screenBrightness = 1; getWindow().setAttributes(lp); The problem is, it's very difficult to wake the screen back up because of all the power saving things that go into effect when you turn the screen off using brightness = 0; Let me first point out that I'm not really tied to power constraints in this particular application. One of my assumptions is that this device (Droid) will be plugged in when this application is run. Ideally, I'd like to not hammer the battery if I don't have to, but I'm open to it if it's the only way. So, back to the issue...when the display is off, pretty much everything shuts down. For instance, one idea I had was to shake the display back awake by reading the accelerometer. However, as soon as the display goes off, my listener that was reading values from the accelerometer (be it in an activity or a service) stops echoing values. I can't register any key listeners because when the display is off, if I press anything other than the unlock button (e.g. volume up/down, camera button, etc.) I get the following output in the debugger: WindowManager: No focus window, dropping: KeyEvent...etc. In short, it appears that once the display goes dark, the only way to interact with the user is by hitting the unlock button. This isn't ideal because it's awkwardly placed. I had *really* hoped to be able to re-activate the device by pressing anywhere on the touch screen. I can understand that the touch screen is disabled for power reasons, but I was hoping I could override that (given I don't mind the power draw). Failing at that, I'd settle for any of the accessible keys (even the keyboard) reacting to user input and waking the thing up. Any thoughts or ideas on this subject? Thanks for your time.

[android-developers] Re: Fancy ListView help
Although I use ListView a lot it has always been a little confusing to understand how it manages its views returned from BaseAdapter.getView (). If you know you have just the six list rows, which is not a lot, then every time BaseAdapter.getView() is called create the view hierarchy, with the button in each row, and return it. Of course for each button attach a listener with setOnClickListener and that listener will get called whenever the button is clicked/ touched. You can use the tag field of the button view to help you determine at click time which button has been clicked. Or you can instantiate a separate listener for each button and set something in the listener class to is the view clicked. Make the listener a private class under the containing Activity and it can easily get at all the state contained in the Activity. Or make the Activity an implementer of View.OnClickListener and just pass Activity.this to setOnClickListener. In all cases onClick(View v) will be called whenever the button is clicked/touched. Hope this helps… On Dec 22, 8:58 am, Abhi abhishek.r.sha...@gmail.com wrote: Hi guys, All I need is a listview with 6 items, each having an icon, textview and a button/imageview.

If that's the case, I'm not sure how to proceed. Looks like I would have to do the following: 1) Check the exif header to see if this rotation parameter exists 2) If it does exist, rotate the image myself before display #1 could probably be done using the ExifInterface class, but that's only been added to the level 5 sdk, while I'm targeting sdk 3 and above. #2 could also be done after a lot of downsampling.

If the user rotates the phone 90 degrees clockwise, the rotation should be set to 90. Applications can useOrientationEventListener to set this parameter. The camera driver may set orientation in the EXIF header without rotating the picture. Or the driver may rotate the picture and the EXIF thumbnail. If the Jpeg picture is rotated, the orientation in the EXIF header will be missing or 1 (row #0 is top and column #0 is left side). The problem is not related to set(rotation, 90) or setRotation(90).

Hopefully someone else has ran into this issue. On SDK level 3 (Android 1.5) if a user adds a homescreen widget that there is not room for, the onUpdate method is still called. So in my widgets, in the onUpdate I check to see if hte widget has been configured. If it has not then I launch the configuration. Stuff also gets saved to a SharedPreferences config. So in this example if the user adds a widget that is too big for their screen 10 times, it is going to launch the config needlessly 10 times. Also for that appWidgetId, stuff is going to get saved 10 times. How can I head this off and tell that there is no room on the screen, in onUpdate, before doing all of that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: ($25 reward) GPS not triggering onLocationChanged
Thanks a lot for your support everyone!
I winded up doing many things, most of which were required for this to
work.
1. Used the WakefulIntentService, and at the bottom of onHandleIntent,
manually called onStop
2. Right away I created a wakelock
3. BEFORE the first requestLocationUpdates(yadaa yadda yadda, this) I
called releaseUpdates(this).
4. Removed the accidental duplicate requestLocationUpdates
5. Added a sleep timer to onHandleIntent, and had it call onStop
afterwards (releases the wakelock and locationupdates)
The main issue was keeping the service awake, second issue was all the
stupid bugs in the 1.5 OS.

[android-developers] Re: Help Understanding Custom Components and Multiple Resolutions - Analogy to Lego!
Mark- thanks for your reply! I am new to 2d graphics and custom components, so let me try to see if I am reading you right: You're saying, if I create a table layout with two rows and one column, and I populate the top row with say 2 buttons and an image, I can get Android to return the amount of space left over for the other row? How would I do that? My only knowledge of returning dimensions is getwidth() and getheight(), which for my g1 return 320x480. Thanks for your response!

I am able to use Androids components to build the most basic layouts, which include images, buttons, text areas, etc. These are like Android Lego! I can build the castle. BUT I want to design my own component, my ownLego, that draws on the screen and uses the available area that the Android components have not used. ie, I want to have a top layer of buttons, and the rest of the screen, whatever it is, I want to use to draw 2d graphics. So, I want to make my ownLego, and use it with the other AndroidLego. However, I'm also trying to be a good developer and making this for whatever resolution is thrown my way. What is the best way to do this considering the deluge of different resolutions Android developers must cope with? Is there a way to do a table view and return the remaining screen size? Or, am I stuck making an entire new box ofLegohere? To be honest, I find this one less clear than the original. I think you are looking at the problem backwards. If you create a custom View class (my ownLego), your size will generally be handed to you, courtesy of the containers (layouts) and rules (android:layout_width, android:layout_height). You can indicate some size preferences, if needed. Hence, the best way to do this considering the deluge of different resolutions Android developers must cope with? is no different for your own custom View than it is for anything else -- specify the layout rules with density-independent dimensions, use RelativeLayout, etc. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Training:http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: NumberPicker based widgets function different in emulator than phone
One way to test this is to build the Hello, DatePicker example and see if it exhibits this behavior. On the emulator you can type in year or day. On my phone, no. Just click on the year or day and it is not focusable. http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-datepicker.html On Dec 21, 12:04 pm, jtoolsdev brianjto...@gmail.com wrote: TimePicker and DatePicker use NumberPicker which is an internal widget. On the emulator the EditText on the widget is focusable and you can type into it. On my phone, and HTC Eris, you cannot. Does this have something to do with the attributes (which I don't entirely understand) and HTC maybe setting them differently? These are my own test routines and I also downloaded the NumberPicker and DatePicker source to build my own versions as well as some additional widgets so I can use them in my program. Those do allow the EditText to be focusable. For consistency it so far looks like I'll have to rebuild the TimePicker too.

You should get the size available passed to you in onMeasure, then take all of it when you setMeasuredDimension. Read more from this reference and others: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html Mark the other components as wrap_content and yours as fill_parent.

I'm saying that if you create a TableLayout with two rows, and you put two Buttons and one ImageView in the top row, and one SuperJetCoolWidget in the bottom row, your SuperJetCoolWidget will be sized in accordance to the rules you apply in the layout (and, partially, based on SuperJetCoolWidget's preferred size). In this respect, SuperJetCoolWidget is no different than any other widget. Assuming, of course, that you implement SuperJetCoolWidget.

[android-developers] Unable to Unlink Errors
I'm getting some errors I can't seem to get rid of. The application I'm working on installs alright but when it's started it stops the loading process telling me an error has occurred. Upon looking at the log there are ten apparent issues all revolving around the graphic files for the application. DEBUG/(1724): unable to unlink '/data/data/com.blah.blah/files/ special_button.png': No such file or directory (errno=2) That error happens 10 times..one for every image in the raw folder. The Manifest has multiple intents and activitys and is structured like this application activity intent-filter /intent-filter intent-filter /intent-filter intent-filter /intent-filter /activity activity intent-filter /intent-filter /activity provider /application It's the second activity that seems to be having the problem. The first activity is .MainActivity and the second one is .ThemeProvider and .Screen java files. Everything in the first activity runs perfectly only the second one has issues. I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of these errors so the images will load and stop causing the error and termination of that part of the application. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been stuck for a few weeks on this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Another theory to throw out there is that when people get a notification that there's an update available for an app, they think oh yeah, I forgot I had installed that app. better uninstall it to free up space. I've done this several times. But the question here is why in the past deploying an update didn't show a similar big drop in Actives. Unless there's been an intentional change in how actives are tracked.

I'm not setting maxSdkVersion in my Manifest, though. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#max Future versions of Android (beyond Android 2.0.1) will no longer check or enforce the android:maxSdkVersion attribute during installation or revalidation.

[android-developers] Re: Problem in Layout
First off I apologize but I'm having a hard time understanding your intent based on your language, but I'll try to help with what I understand. The android:gravity attribute affects the layout of content within the view, not how a view is laid out within a layout manager. It sounds like what you really want is android:layout_gravity. However this attribute is not applicable to LinearLayout, mostly used (in my experience) with FrameLayouts. If you're using a LinearLayout with orientation vertical and three sub- views, as long as any of the sub-views declare layout_height=fill_parent the views should fill the available space and, as a result, the third view should be on the bottom. I am guessing you'd like the center view to fill_parent. With a RelativeLayout it sounds like you want the android:layout_alignParentBottom attribute for the third view. Lastly, I've given you the XML attributes, you'll need to look up the Java API equivalents, but I highly recommend using XML layouts if at all possible. Hope this helps.

[android-developers] Re: Droid - How to create a top bar notification during calls.
As mentioned earlier, I have tested it on a REAL phone. The G1 and the Droid.

Interesting that your alarm works. The Droid I have tested with is in Verizon's network, and I am firing the event from a service. Thanks for your help.

[android-developers] Re: Screen Widget update time (android:updatePeriodMillis)
My friend, it's true on 1.6 foward this does not work any more, you will have to set a alarm for it. The minimum update for 1.6 foward is 30 seconds(3 miliseconds).
