Why not? Post a notification, give it a PendingIntent pointing to your
login activity:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyLoginActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
PendingIntent pintent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(),
getString(R.string.notification_title),
getString(R.string.notification_text),
pintent);
mgr.notify(LAUNCH_NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

(Thanks for asking -- my code had broken with a reorg of my class
hierarchy, so my activity class was no longer the one in the manifest!
So I just fixed my app as a result of your question!)

Your login activity must, of course, be in the manifest.

答复: 答复: [android-developers] Where is the so urce project location of YouTube in Eclair?

2010-03-11 Thread David

Actually， I tried like this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH);

intent.setClassName(com.google.android.youtube, 
com.google.android.youtube.QueryActivity);
intent.putExtra(query, Susan, American);

intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);


but occurred android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit 
activity class 
{com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.youtube.QueryActivity}; have you 
declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

So I think I got the wrong YouTube package name and QueryActivity name.

Who know what's the exactly package name and QueryActivity name for YouTube in 
Éclair?

Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Forward activity resultCode?

That's perfect, thanks Dianne. This is how it looks now for reference:

ActivityA

ActivityB
   intentC.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT);
   startActivity(intentC);
   finish();

ActivityC
   setResult(99);

I just had to modify ActivityB's call from startActivityForResult() to
startActivity() otherwise it throws an exception since that flag is
specified on the intent, but the error message is very descriptive and
excellent,

 There could be some delays though, at least for the first time.

 BTW the last time I tried SoundPool it was impossible to have more
 than 1 MB of sounds. SoundPool uses uncompressed audio and I didn't
 find a way to control bitrate and other stuff. I wanted five 17-18 sec

[android-developers] ViewFlipper caching issue

2010-03-11 Thread Farha Ansari

The views are not cached in a ViewFlipper. Is there a way wherein we
can get an image of the view and show it to user so that he sees the
Ui as we see on Home scrren(when we swipe the previous view also moves
along and when we lift our finger, only then the next view is shown
completely.)

What I want to do is that when the user starts moving his finegr on
screen, the view should also move along(create an image of view).

I am not getting to do this, as when we swipe the present view goes
and next view comes, we do not get both visible when we r moving our
finger on screen.

Please if anyone gets what I am trying to do, do help me.

Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: How to detect when android kill my process?

The *potential* problem with this approach is that it *potentially*
distributes a whole lot of initialization code throughout your
application in various Activities, Services, etc.

One advantage of subclassing Application is it allows you to
centralize a lot of common logic.

If you have this bit of state in ActivityA, and another in ActivityB,
and another in ActivityC -- not only does it get terribly confusing,
but you also can also end up repeatedly loading preferences settings,
database data, etc. You also end up loading classes you might
otherwise never need to have touched.

On the other hand, initializing everything on loading the application
ignores that you may not need all of it. Of course, you can avoid that
by doing lazy initialization within the Application subclass, too.

I am NOT arguing that you should always subclass Application instead
of using statics, etc. Rather, you should do the simplest thing that
works.

I'd suggest starting out with statics, and only subclassing
Application if it solves a problem for you.

You can also create a Model class (as in Model-View-Controller, or
MVC) that you centralize around.  This is a single singleton, that
replaces many singletons. There's more to the Model component of MVC
than I'll cover here, but you can manage it either within a
Application subclass or with a static -- just be sure to only have
one. I'd prefer this to cluttering up an Application subclass.

Still, the only reason I know where it's actually NECESSARY to
subclass Application, is to override its lifecycle methods. I
initialize Flurry there, so I can set up error handling before any
activities or services are started. I also publish from the
Application subclass certain data I extract from my application
manifest's metadata, which can't be done from a static. I handle
updating data from the free app to the paid app, and upgrading data
from one release to the next, before the Activity's and Services have
a chance to notice the obsolete data.

On Mar 9, 1:37 pm, Streets Of Boston flyingdutc...@gmail.com wrote:
 Try to avoid subclassing the Application class.
 Just use static variables. Initialize them to null/0/whatever and
 check them in the onCreate of your activity. If these are null/0/
 whatever, initialize these static variable properly and continue. But
 re-initializing them *won't maintain* state. After you process has
 been killed, your state is reset. You can use static variables to
 share state between multiple activities in your app (as long as
 they're started in the same process).

 If you want to maintain state over configuration changes (e.g. slide
 out keyboard, orientation changes), use the activity's
 onRetainNonConfigurationInstance method.

 If you want to maintain state even if your process has been killed,
 use the activity's onSaveInstanceState method (and related methods).

[android-developers] Remove attention box while activating softkeyboard

2010-03-11 Thread andu

How are you all

I am developing android applications. currently I have customized the
sample softkeyAndroid project to include amharic language (Ethiopian
language). The keyboard works well. But when I try to activate it from
the setting (Local  Text) option, it displays some warning message
that says
This input method may be able to collect all the text you type,
including personal data like password and credit card numbers. .

I think this text is include for security purpose. But users may not
be interested to use the keyboard.

So my question is How can I remove this warning message to make the
keyboard available for users (without payment).

or is there anything that I have to consider while developing the
application?


Please help me.

Thank you in advance.

[android-developers] Re: Android MYSQL

I would very explicitly NOT develop a MySQL App on the Android.

While you could perhaps get the JDBC driver to run on Android, this is
the wrong approach from a architectural standpoint. You won't get the
performance, scalability, maintainability, reliability, nor security
characteristics you'd like.

Instead, expose your client-side functionality in a web service. For
most purposes, I'd suggest a RESTfull web service, but SOAP is also an
option. JSON is often a good alternative to XML -- especially if you
will be interacting with this service via a browser.

If you put SQL in your client, you are basically screwed. You will
NEVER be able to alter your schema, or introduce some non-DB
processing, or split the data between databases, or make any of a host
of other changes, because some people may never upgrade their apps.
Well, OK, you can say screw them, and change it anyway, but they'll
ding you in the marketplace ratings.

Especially in a mobile app, you want a looser coupling. With a web
service, you can simultaneously provide multiple versions of the same
service (perhaps distinguished only by a revision indicator). You can
do server-side caching to take a load off your database. You could
even move to a different database entirely.

Also, connection failures will be frequent. With MySQL, you'd have to
pay considerable attention to recovering from connection failures.
With a web service, a single call may fail, but because the
communication itself is stateless (if designed well), you can just
retry that one failing call.

You do have to think carefully about transaction boundaries, and try
to accomplish more with a single call, rather than beginning a
transaction, doing a bunch of stuff, and the committing. That's a good
thing -- you'll get much better performance, because the round-trip
time through the mobile network will be poor. You'll also be rewarded
with much superior reliability -- a single MAKE-ALL-THESE-CHANGES call
happens in a shorter period of time, and is much less likely to fail
due to the network than a series of BEGIN-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-EDIT-COMMIT
operations.

All in all, there's very good reason why nobody uses MySQL on Android,
and it has nothing to do with limitations on Android. The same
arguments actually apply to ANY client-side use of MySQL, it's just
that they get even stronger on a mobile platform.

size the text to the left, and left-align the text within the spinner.
The items within the spinner are created disconnected from the view
hierarchy, and so they don't have any interaction with the parent's
layout at that point, and I couldn't figure out any way to inject the
proper interaction when they do come together.

 Hi all,

 only some portion of the width of the screen, but I'm unable to do. I
 want to see the objects behind the drop down. Here is what i tried, I
 changed the drop down view as,

 adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
 instead of

 adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_it 
 em);

  In the layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item.xml file I specified the
 width, but it still occupies the entire width. Can any one help. Is
 there any other view which is similar to spinner but I should be able
 to see the background objects like a alert dialog. Is it really
 possible? Please reply.

 Thank you.

if you store your data with in your application package then other

you can go for a content provider if you want to share data between

[android-developers] updating app on android market using different name

2010-03-11 Thread Yorgos


hi

i have an app on the android market that currently has a Trial  
postfix in its name. I would like to update this app with one that  
doesnt have Trial in its name. Can i do this by only keeping the  
same package in the new app, thus by updating with using a different  
app name? Or do i have to retain the same app name as well, for the  
update to take place?


please let me know if anyone has any idea on this

cheers!!

[android-developers] Re: Windows Phone and XNA. Nightmare is real. What we do with that ?

2010-03-11 Thread Piotr

Looks great !

I hope, Google will work on native NDK framework like XNA, because
even for 2d games, java implementation is too slow.

Such framework could help in development beginners and others, who
don't want to create advanced 3d games.

It is still problem, because if you want to create rpg or 2d
platformer, you can't get smooth animation in Java. So, you must use
OpenGL calls.

But when you start using OpenGL in Java, you realize, that you can get
more performance in game engine parts, when you go with lowlevel NDK.
So, you are starting to reinvent circle over and over. You must write
basic engine parts. Resource manager, drawing, animation, colission,
controls, data exchange layer, etc..

Maybe I'm wrong, but why just not to create expandable NDK game
framework library with these parts ready to RESUING for all
developers ? I do not have enough knowledge and experience to work on
that, but it seems right way to improve Android as gaming platform.

I'm just surprised, that such framework from Google still does not
exist.

 c# and .net will be like having java, nothing can beat native code, so

  I concur with this statement. I did a lot of benchmarking and the JNI

  render hundreds of objects. Also, for performance hungry things like
  MP3 decoding (to get PCM data which is not possible at the moment with
  the mediaframework), physics and so on there's a native library in the
  background of libgdx which does just that. The physics library is
  something i'm currently implementing on top of bullet. These native
  components have a JNI bridge as you suggested. I however carefully
  chose what's going to be included in the native library part of libgdx
  to reduce the pain of coding C++.

  What also speaks against a pure NDK solution is the missing debugging
  features which slows down development immenseley.

   Such framework could load game elements (maps, tiles, sprites, bkgs,

[android-developers] Re: Questions to comic contents developer

It's a tough but interesting one.

I think Bob is right.

If your content can be consumed in less than the 24 hours cancellation
policy, then you have to rethink your app, not necessarily your
content.

Make your app the comic store and not the comic and fill it with new
comics on a weekly-monthly basis(depending on the lenght and the time
it takes you to get the content).

Make it very clear in your app, in your description on the market and
by using all the notification techniques that more content will be
available, making people think twice before uninstalling.

There is a big hurdle though :
- Since we don't have in app selling, you have to come with a clever
way to make people pay for each content if that's what you're after
(Maybe package each comics as a content provider for the main
app(comic store))

Good luck and when you do find a solution, please come back and tell
us how you did it.

Well, i recognize that you really had a nasty experience,  i guess you

to free then you won't be able to revert it to its original price or
something similar ? If not, maybe this kind of warning should be
implemented in the developer console with a huge confirmation button
to press twice.

Thanks for sharing your bad experimentation to other developers

 unpublish the app and think of some other package for it, correct

[android-developers] Unit Testing : Who uses it ?

Hi everyone,

Not really Android specific but :

I've just read Bob Kern's answer to a vaillant 14 years old programmer
who wants to write a game for Android.

Bob's advice is good as always and he states :
Learn how to test effectively. Use unit tests for as much of your
system as you can. Go to junit.org for more information. If you write
your tests first, you'll clarify what you want to do, and it all gets
much easier. But testing is also a skill that needs to be developed.

Now I've been a developper for 10 years, mostly solo works, and I have
never ever used UnitTesting, ever. Be it in VB, C++, PHP, ASP, Ruby
and now Android.

Do you guys really use it in your ANDROID apps at all ?
Do you really feel it makes a (significant) difference in your
code(app) in the end ?

From a conversation from the beginning of the week I'm now having to
learn the full xml RFC, so please don't try to hard to convince me,
I'm beginning to feel dizzy already :D

Sorry for the OOST.

[android-developers] Re: updating app on android market using different name

Hi,

I believe only the package name have a significance.

You can just change the name of your app (eg. /res/strings.xml/
appname), and resubmit it.

Beside in the market you have a field for the AppName, which I believe
is the name used when browsing the market.

Anyway, the submit process won't let you mess with it, you can try and
upload your new app with a new name and the same package name on top
of your old one. If it is not allowed the market will tell you and
refuse your new version.

You can also try with a dummy app you make just for testing purpose.
You simply won't publish it and remove it afterwards.

I say that from the top of my head, so please come back afterward and
tell us how you did.

Good luck.

Yahel

[android-developers] Re: Creating Simple Serial Output:

2010-03-11 Thread joshbeck

Thanks for the response. I've got an arduino board that has serial
output via
4 pins.

Pin 1: ground
Pin 2: transmit
Pin 3: Receive
Pin 4: reset

I plug a usb adapter into it and that allows me to upload code to the
microprocessor and monitor
the output locally.

To answer your question:
   -I'm looking to replace the arduino completely with a program
running on the phone that somehow,
someway generates a simple serial message 'as if' it were being
transmitted via that simple
pin configuration. (We're using a video overlay board that accepts
serial data and creates
a real time GPS text overlay for the students to watch locally and
analyze later.)

 -Thanks for the advice. We've been using this Arduino for years now
and I think
  it's time to replace it completely with Android. --It's a fun
challenge.

 I'm not clear on what you're trying to do. Are you trying to get a
 phone to talk to an Arduino, or are you trying to replace the Arduino
 with a phone?

 Phone USB ports aren't generally set up to act as hosts, but as
 devices. Supposedly some phone USB ports are hardware capable of doing
 so, but I don't know the magic, nor do I recall which phones. That may
 not be a barrier; you may be able to set the Arduino up as host.

 At a minimum, you'll need to get root access on your phone, and
 probably need to use the NDK to write some C++ code to bridge between
 Java and actually talking to the hardware.

 I've got a couple different types of Arduinos around here with USB --
 one with it on the board, another, smaller one with it as an adapter
 you can connect to the output pins. I don't know if that solves any
 problems for you -- but at least the adapter would save you from
 dealing with the electrical interface aspects, and the USB bus
 protocol aspects. The latter would probably render your plan
 unfeasible, I think. I note that the USB adapter board has a tiny
 surface-mount chip on it that has about as many pins as the Arduino
 chip!

 The USB adapter wasn't very expensive. I could dig up the specific
 parts and sources, but you're probably better off googling and
 choosing what best fits your needs.

lonely wolf programmer things are different than in the enterprise.
It was necessary for me to Go back to the roots.

In my home grown game framework I have thrown out all Unit Tests! I
consider it just distracting noise.
I switched to an old programming style. Everything as staright to the point
as possible.

For personal projects I have only a limited attention span. Usually after
6-9 Month I loose intrested in the project.
So important goals for me are:
- To keep the project small enough to get finished in this time span.
- Do everything which keeps the project interesting and try to expand the
6-9 month time span.
- Avoid everything which does not directly contribute to the project.

= This means: Doing no Unit Testing!

When you develop a game, you usually test the game every 30 Minutes. You
test your new function. You check how the new fancy effekt looks like on
screen. You test your new weapon which you have just finished
implementing. You test the sound effects. You tweak the graphics. You play,
play, play and play the game over and over again.

...Serious bugs usually show up very quickly and usually I fix them
immediately if I discover one.

So, my recommedation for a beginner is:
Keep it fun! It feels good if a new feature looks good on screen! The
constant visuall feedback you get in game development can drive you trough
the project.
If you don't like Unit testing. Don't do it! Concentrate on the game and
game play.
If you finish your project you will be judged by your game and not by your
source code and how much test coverage you have.

This is just my very personal opinion.

BTW: For projects consiting of more than three people things start to look
different.

Kind Regards,
Ralf

Hi everyone,

Not really Android specific but :

I've just read Bob Kern's answer to a vaillant 14 years old programmer
who wants to write a game for Android.

Bob's advice is good as always and he states :
Learn how to test effectively. Use unit tests for as much of your
system as you can. Go to junit.org for more information. If you write
your tests first, you'll clarify what you want to do, and it all gets
much easier. But testing is also a skill that needs to be developed.

Now I've been a developper for 10 years, mostly solo works, and I have
never ever used UnitTesting, ever. Be it in VB, C++, PHP, ASP, Ruby
and now Android.

Do you guys really use it in your ANDROID apps at all ?
Do you really feel it makes a (significant) difference in your
code(app) in the end ?

From a conversation from the beginning of the week I'm now having to
learn the full xml RFC, so please don't try to hard to convince me,
I'm beginning to feel dizzy already :D

Sorry for the OOST.

Yahel

[android-developers] Re: AlarmManager on droids

2010-03-11 Thread mot12

I am the developer of Gentle Alarm and I can confirm that several
phones have issues with the sleep mode and non-firing alarms.
Unfortunately, there is no sure-fire way to reproduce this so I can't
tell you do A, then B, and the alarm won't ring. It typically happens
though if the device has been idle for a longer period of time after
the screen goes off. If you have lots of background activity happening
(checking email every 30min or so), you may never see this problem.

You can also prevent this problem if you keep the phone docked or on a
charger. The alarm will then ring reliably.

I examined a bunch of log files and they all show the same thing: the
device goes into some deep-sleep mode where logcat show absolutely no
activity for hours until the display is manually turned on. At that
point, all the notification events come streaming in.

[android-developers] What is the contract for constructing SlidingDrawer widget ?

2010-03-11 Thread Pavel Lahoda

I tried to construct SlidingDrawer widget programmatically, but had no
luck. The JavaDoc says the constructor needs AttributeSet attrs
parameter, which is a specified set of attributes defined in XML. I
provided my own implementation of AttributeSet interface, with all the
attributes mentioned in JavaDoc, but got a weird ClassCastException -
it seems that it assumes the attrs parameter is of type TypedArray,
which seems to be impossible to use as base class (constructor
hidden). Is there a way to construct SlidingDrawer programmatically
and what is the correct contract to use it ? It is no way clear from
the documentation.

One of my users failed to install my application, when checking the

Invalid taskAffinity name XXX in package XXX: must have at least one
'.' separator

Anyone seen this before?

I've searched the SDK documentation and it doesn't mention anything
like that..

Anyone can point me to some kind of official documentation stating
that there must be at least one .?

[android-developers] using KeyguardManager for presenting unlock screen

2010-03-11 Thread devi prasad

Hi,
In my application I want to use KeyguardManager to present the unlock
screen at required places. I wrote the following code and tested it on
Google IO phone (Android 1.6) and a Nexus One phone. Although this
works decently on Nexus one, its behavior is odd at times. Sometimes
the unlock screen doesn't appear for consecutive runs. It also has
serious issues with configuration changes. And surprisingly, if I turn
off the screen and turn it back on, the unlock screen disappears! Of
course, this happens only in my program, and not in general in the
phone.

Can someone explain what's wrong with my code? Just FYI, I have tried
various combinations of disableKeyguard() and reenableKeyguard()
without much gain.

public class UnlockActivity extends Activity {
KeyguardManager mKgm;
KeyguardLock mKgl;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
mKgm = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
mKgl = mKgm.newKeyguardLock(me);
   }

class HandlerCallback implements Handler.Callback {
public boolean handleMessage(Message msg) {
mKgl.disableKeyguard();
mKgm.exitKeyguardSecurely(new OnKeyguardExitResult() {
public void onKeyguardExitResult(boolean 
success) {
Log.d(UnlockActivity, status:  + 
success);
mKgl.reenableKeyguard();
}
});
return true;
}
}
   ...
}


thanks

[android-developers] What phone to buy for development?


Hello,
I want to start developing an application for android and want to buy a 
phone for this task. But I don't really know, which one would be the best.


I've heard of the ADP2 from Google, which is nearly the same as the HTC 
Magic. But what exactly are the differences? Is it possible to install 
the images from http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html also on 
the HTC Magic? If I would decide to buy the ADP2 from Google it costs 
399$ + 150$ shipment to Germany, is there a dealer in Germany selling 
the original ADP2 device?


Or is there an other Android phone for about 399$ available (in 
Germany), which is good for development?


Thank you
Natanael

Just about any phone is fine for Android application development. You
only need ADP1 or ADP2 if you want to replace the firmware (i.e., load
your own modified copy of the Android OS).

So, I would find one that is available for sale in Germany, either
through a carrier (e.g., T-Mobile) or through other channels.

Re: [android-developers] What phone to buy for development?

2010-03-11 Thread Justin Giles

Just wanted to chime in and say that before you go off and buy an actual
device, I'd recommend using the emulator that comes with the SDK to get you
started and make sure you enjoy developing for the platform. The emulator
goes a long way and is nearly identical to testing on an actual device.
Might save you a few $$$ in case you realize Android isn't your cup of tea.
Otherwise, what Mark said...any device will do.

I've heard of the ADP2 from Google, which is nearly the same as the HTC
Magic. But what exactly are the differences? Is it possible to install
the images from http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html also on
the HTC Magic? If I would decide to buy the ADP2 from Google it costs
399$ + 150$ shipment to Germany, is there a dealer in Germany selling
the original ADP2 device?

Or is there an other Android phone for about 399$ available (in
Germany), which is good for development?


Just about any phone is fine for Android application development. You
only need ADP1 or ADP2 if you want to replace the firmware (i.e., load
your own modified copy of the Android OS).

So, I would find one that is available for sale in Germany, either
through a carrier (e.g., T-Mobile) or through other channels.



Thank you,
is it also possible to install an other Android version on a consumer 
phone, e.g the version from here[1] if I don't want the vodafone 
branding on the HTC Magic?

Not usually. You can root some phones and install alternative firmware

And when I have rooted the HTC Magic is it equivalent to the ADP2? Or

[android-developers] How to manage orientation dependent activities?

2010-03-11 Thread ailinykh

Hello, everybody!
I have two activities, one per orientation - PortraitActivity and
LandscapeActivity. They are pretty much different, I can't use one
Activity with different layouts.
If user changed orientation I have to shutdown one of them and start
another.
What is the best way to manage them? Does it make sense to create
GroupActivity? Or each Activity should check if the current
orientation is what it needs? If so, is it save to start new Activity
in onCreate method of previous one (which is not actually created
yet)?

Thank you,
  Andrey

[android-developers] Best practice for downloading a file - URLConnection, HttpClient, Intent, ...

2010-03-11 Thread westmeadboy

If an app needs to download some critical data (without the data it
cannot function) of several MB, what is the best practice?

The app would start, a prompt would be shown to confirm download,
download would commence, and the user would be prevented from going
further until the download successfully completes.

I don't expect the download would take more than, say, 10 secs over
wifi but, of course, would take much longer over 2G.

Is a service absolutely essential for this?

Maybe there is already some code out there that takes a URL, downloads
it in a service, and broadcasts a configurable Intent when the
download has completed?

Re: [android-developers] Re: No View key event called back when BACK key is pressed while IME is shown?

2010-03-11 Thread Sean Hodges

I believe the back button event is intercepted by the keyboard app, so
it knows to hide. Once focus is returned to your app, the event has
already been processed.

I'm not aware of any way to intercept the events of another app (like
the soft keyboard). You could write your own keyboard app that passes
the back button event as an intent, but I imagine that's not the
solution you are looking for.

If the endBatchEdit() method is working for you, I would stick with
it. Alternatively, you might want to re-think your approach to this
problem, as there are lots of soft keyboard apps out there and there
is a chance they won't all play nice with your custom integration...

[android-developers] Supplying a different background drawable for a dialog?

2010-03-11 Thread Mark Wyszomierski

Hi,

I'm trying to supply my own background drawable for a dialog. It works
fine on 1.6+, on 1.5 though instead of a transparent dimmed background
around the dialog, I just get opaque black. I defined the style like
this in my styles.xml file:

   style name=CustomDlg parent=@android:style/Theme.Dialog
 item name=android:windowBackground@drawable/my_background/
item
   /style

Is there something else we need to do so that we can still get the
transparency around the dialog? The drawable is nothing special, I
just took the stock one from the aop and changed the color on the
inside of the frame.

Thanks

it could also be a 'content:' scheme Uri. The ContentResolver will

// savedImage is the Uri for the newly created
// edited version of the original image.

ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();

InputStream in = null;
try {
 in = cr.openInputStream(savedImage);
 // you now have an InputStream to the saved image
 // you can copy it by saving to an OutputStream

Do not use TimerTask with an unbound Service. Use AlarmManager, so the
Service does not have to remain in memory all the time.

WakeLocks have nothing to do with keeping services in memory. In

[android-developers] Re: Windows Phone and XNA. Nightmare is real. What we do with that ?

This comment is perhaps a bit off your main topic, and I don't mean it
to derail your efforts or to criticize.

But I have a bit of a problem with your statement Java is just too
slow..., taken as a general statement. Perhaps you have benchmark
data showing specific performance problems, and found it so; I'm not
disputing that.

However, the performance landscape is a lot more complex than this
would suggest, if taken beyond your context. In particular, there are
at least 4 performance areas to consider here:

1) Java performance -- which is actually generally quite good in the
desktop/server world; I've not done any Android benchmarking.
2) JNI performance -- there's added cost per switch to native code;
sometimes it's better to do more work in Java to avoid this overhead,
or to batch up work and do more per JNI call.
3) OpenGL library/driver performance. This is both the stuff that's
done in software in preparing for the GPU pipeline, and how
effectively it makes use of the hardware, and failures to use
capabilities that exist in the hardware.
4) The GPU hardware itself

Judging from the reports I see here (and not personal experience on
this platform as yet), a lot of the performance problems we see are
further down this chain. Better graphics hardware and better drivers
push the bottlenecks up the chain; faster main processors and Java VM
improvements push them down. But where you encounter the bottleneck
will always depend on just what the application is doing. Textures are
a big part of that, as is managing levels of detail so you don't waste
time rendering detail that isn't really noticeable. There are a lot of
ways to use OpenGL poorly. And there are a lot of ways to use it well,
but push the limits in the search for image quality.

Pushing things down in to C++ is just going to harm developers, if
it's not actually where the bottleneck is. As Mario says, you have to
choose carefully. Do you move your physics engine into C++ -- or just
the matrix multiplications? Or perhaps just significant components,
like collision detection and the timestep integrations? If you push
stuff down to C++, how do you allow for customization, without
incurring the JNI callback overhead?

Part of what I'm getting at is that because apps are different, the
optimal tradeoff will differ. I'm not sure that Google providing a
framework would be the way to go. Obviously, each developer
implementing their own isn't a good thing either. I think shared
community efforts, or commercial libraries make a lot more sense
(though there could be an official library as one of these options).

This is especially true of physics engines.

But there is such wide variation in what demands an application makes
of 3D rendering that blanket statements like Java is too slow
conceal the issues.

So I would council against blindly pushing stuff down to native code
based on such broad statements, but rather doing so conservatively,
based on realistic benchmarks.

On Mar 10, 2:35 am, Piotr piotr.zag...@gmail.com wrote:
 Both these frameworks are interesting, but as I mentioned before; it
 could be better, to create low-level, native NDK game framework

 Such framework could load game elements (maps, tiles, sprites, bkgs,
 sounds), giving developer control interface set to call high level
 methods like setSpriteSpeed, setBackgroundScroll, manageSpritePhysics,

[android-developers] Re: Possible to Detect if OnResume is because Back button was hit?

2010-03-11 Thread Sam

A) I do some logging of information if a user goes back to a page from
a back button versus some other way of accessing the page.
B) I had tried the startActivityForResults but was curious what other
way people have done it.

 A) Why do you want to do this? Sounds hacky.

 B) If you start the Activity with startActivityForResult() the first
 activity will get it's onActivityResult() function called, indicating that
 the activity it started has finished.

[android-developers] Anyway to detect if Broadcast Receiver is registered?

2010-03-11 Thread Sam

Hi,

I'm using more than 1 instance of MapActivity in an application that
look different from each other. I'm running into an issue sometimes
when leaving a MapActivity doesn't unregister it's BroadcastReceiver
and going Back to resume the MapActivity page it tries to re-register
the receiver again, thus receiving an Exception that Receiver already
registered.

Anyone know of a way to tell if a Broadcastreceiver is registered and
is listening?

[android-developers] Android Market updating in error

2010-03-11 Thread Ken H

Has anyone had users complain that their app is being updated too
much? I issued an update to one of my apps January 17th, and saw a
comment from a user a couple days ago complaining that he gets update
notifications every week. I had this complaint a couple months back
but just ignored it.

Just wondering if it's the Market (which never gets the number of
updates correct by the way), or the phone.

[android-developers] Re: to get/generate nonce. error in random, getBytes Options

The author meant to say 'nextBytes(byte[])' instead of
'getBytes(byte[])'

It's called nextBytes instead of getBytes because you can call it
repeatedly, getting additional random bytes each time.

   But the problem is I could not use rand.getBytes as the class Random

   Is there any other way to get or generate nonce? please help.
   Thanks a lot.

  There has not been a getBytes() method on Random or SecureRandom going
  back at least to Java 1.4.2, and perhaps earlier. I suggest you find a
  better sample of using SecureRandom -- that forum post is incorrect.

  I would recommend you consider posting on StackOverflow, with the #java tag.

 I believe the back button event is intercepted by the keyboard app, so

 I'm not aware of any way to intercept the events of another app (like
 the soft keyboard). You could write your own keyboard app that passes
 the back button event as an intent, but I imagine that's not the
 solution you are looking for.

 If the endBatchEdit() method is working for you, I would stick with
 it. Alternatively, you might want to re-think your approach to this
 problem, as there are lots of soft keyboard apps out there and there
 is a chance they won't all play nice with your custom integration...

[android-developers] Re: Android Market updating in error

2010-03-11 Thread Michael

I got a user leave a comment saying that he has uninstalled my app and
is still getting update notifications for it.

I think I also got my own app to repeadly prompt to be updated on my
own phone when it was intstalled through the market,
but this may have been it getting confused with version numbers from
development versions.

I am not sure what the problem is, but I think there is one.

Re: [android-developers] Market apps Ranking rules

I hope it doesn't have anything to do with active installs. One of my

December 18th because of Google losing the market stats.
It's been 3 months now and they still have not restored them.

[android-developers] Re: android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH activity not found

2010-03-11 Thread John

You should probably be adding some code to verify if the speech
recognition library is available on the device. Generally this is a
good practice for any external intent.

Here is a code segment that can help you out.

  // Check to see if a recognition activity is present
PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
ListResolveInfo activities = pm.queryIntentActivities(
new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH),
0);
if (activities.size() == 0) {

  // At this point there is no recognition library and you
should handle it here

}

I'm not sure how you can load the library into the API and I'm not
sure if the library is even publicly available.

[android-developers] Re: What phone to buy for development?

Just to add a nuance here, any phone will do but some are noticibly
more prone to weird behaviors like the Motorola Droid for example
which for a lot of us is a nightmare but is one of the most used in
the US according to the statistics of Radar Now.

So I'm not sure how to handle that, you should either just avoid it.
Will making your app works on the Droid automagically makes it work on
more standard devices(hero, magic) or will it break on those.

Just like when developing for the web, if you write your code against
IE then it will usually works on other browsers, but not the other way
around :D

I would think that the fact that the Droid has more constraints it
makes you write better, no not better, more compatible code across all
devices.

But just wanted to let you know.

Have fun coding.

Why? Haven't played with it myself yet, but I'm pretty sure you can create
