Hi all,
 Today I met a problem, I need to pass a ArrayListMyClass from an
activity to another. I dont know what the Intent exactly do when I use
putExtra to pass in an ArrayListMyClass object.

 I guess MyClass need to implement Parcelable interface, so I just did
it. But still, it does not work.

Maybe I need to create a Bundle and then use Bundle's
putParcelableArrayList
method to put my ArrayListMyClass object in, and then pass this bundle as
parameter of putExtra to the intent.
So crazy! I am lazy, I just want to pass an ArrayListMyClass object
simply, is there a simple way??

 Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I mean write the frame to a pixel buffer.

  Eong,

  All Mario and I are trying to say is that the thing you are trying to

  practice and workarounds usually exist that are more efficient,
  especially if you can target higher levels of opengl or use extensions
  like framebufferobjects.  If you would be willing to tell us something
  a little bit more specific about what you're doing that requires a
  texture update every frame, we could potentially offer some more
  efficient ways of doing it.

   Thanks, Mario.
   I think it's somewrong with the driver or the chip. It's not just a
   bandwidth problem. If it's really a bandwidth problem, it only has 1/7
   bandwidth of milestone? (150ms compare to 20ms with a full screen
   tex).That's very funny.

   I'm working on some libs, which will be used for our tools and games.
   When a full screen update only takes 20+ms, it's usable in some
   conditions as it already gets at least 40fps.

It seems that the msm chips are notorious for having a low bandwidth.
There's really no solution to that problem other than

1) lowering your texture size
2) lowering the bit depth of the texture, e.g. instead of using
RGBA use RGBA444 or RGB565
2) uploading your texture in patches, e.g. split it up into 4 smaller
parts and upload one part each frame. This will probably lead to
artifacts if your frame rate is low but could work otherwise.

Just out of curiousity: why do you have to upload such a big texture
each frame? If you'd state your scenario in detail we might be able to
suggest other solutions to the problem.

[android-developers] Re: Portrait/landscape question

If you'd like a quick tour of all the options for
setRequestedOrientation(), my app, SmartVolume Free, does this, and
lets you control what value to supply to setRequestedOrientation() in
a preference setting. (The default is to not set it at all, and use
the system's setting).

Of course, it's not hard to throw the code into your app, but this way
you can switch back and forth more quickly.

I'm still not clear on how the orientation is chosen for
ActivvityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_NOSENSOR. On my device (N1) it seems
to always come up in Portrait. I don't know if this is intended to be
a suitable default for the device, or something else. It doesn't
appear to be what orientation the device was in on start, which I
think would be more useful. I guess I'll go fill a documentation bug.

I put this in for a couple reasons. One is that my app is more usable
in portrait mode, but switching to portrait mode if you're using it in
landscape may not be desirable. Another is that before 2.1 update 1,
the launcher would crash (out of memory) if it was behind a window
that switched to landscape and you had too many apps...

 You can try the combination of setRequestedOrientation() in onCreate()

[android-developers] how to depress the onLongClick() when drag a view

2010-04-19 Thread sheng wang

Hi,

I have a View and I can drag it. It also has a onLongClick() method so it
can respond to the long press on the screen.

The problem is when I drag it , the onLongClick will also be triggered .
Anyone have an idea to depress the long click detection when i move it .


Thanks in advances.
Shawn.

[android-developers] Re: Portrait/landscape question

Well, actually, it IS explained in another location (http://
developer.android.com/intl/de/guide/topics/manifest/activity-
element.html). You so often have to look in two or three different
pieces of documentation to get the full story...

It amounts to a suitable default for the device. I guess we could
check the display dimensions and set it to Portrait or Landscape on
entry to the activity. I guess there's more than one place this
decision could be made, with slightly different results, anyway.

[android-developers] Re: requestLocationUpdates issue

What he's doing there is specific to using a timer. I'm sure
internally, it tells the timer thread to stop processing tasks and
exit, just like I outlined earlier.

Generally speaking -- if you have a facility that provides a way to
wake it up, when trying to end a task, it's good to wake it up so it
can die. For example, setting a flag and calling notifyAll() to
unblock a thread waiting in wait(). I expect this is what calling
Timer.cancel() does, though I  haven't looked at the source.

If a Timer meets your needs, then I recommend using it; it will be
much simpler than any approach you came up yourself. However, remember
that a single timer only uses a single thread, so if it does something
that takes a long time, other scheduled tasks won't run until it
finishes. This can be a reason to use separate timers for different
tasks.

Note that this won't solve your problem above -- because calling
Timer.cancel() won't do anything to terminate YOUR loop. It terminates
the scheduling loop that waits on and runs tasks. It doesn't stop the
tasks once they're running.

  OK, I understand your thinking a bit better, so hopefully I can
  explain a bit better.

  onDestroy() is only called when your application is idle. The system
  will NEVER directly call a lifecycle method except when the main
  thread is idle If you are running some long-lived function from, say,
  onStart(), or a handler in the main thread.  All of these are handled
  one at a time by the main thread's Looper.

  So there will be no abrupt termination of your function when
  onDestroy() is called. That only happens if it kills off the process.
  Which is a lot more likely to happen if you block the main thread --
  after a while, the user will get a dialog offering to kill or wait for
  the busy process!

  Java used to support interrupting and abruptly terminating threads.
  However, there is absolutely NO way to make this a safe operation.
  Android does kill off processes, which can leave things outside the
  process in an inconsistent state, but that's not as bad as having your
  application still running, but in an inconsistent state internally! So
  abruptly force-quitting a method is not part of the model of any Java
  system. (But you can still check, and throw an exception to get out of
  a loop -- that will properly invoke all finally() clauses on the way
  out, etc.).

  It's hard for me to tell you the proper way to stop your service,
  because it depends on just what you're doing. You have part of the
  idea, by checking for a termination flag in your loop. You can set
  that in your onDestroy() method -- akin to what you're trying to do
  with your call to the undocumented Looper.quit() method.  But what you
  want to do is to set your CARuntimes.MainServiceRunFlag  instead.
  (Except I'd make that an instance member of your Service class, rather
  than a static of some other class. Better modularity, though you can
  make it work this way).

  It looks to me like what you're really trying to do, is what the
  system already provides for you better -- IntentService. I really
  don't know what their intent was, calling it this -- I think I'd call
  it ThreadedService, since the relevant point is that it runs your code
  in a separate thread. Or maybe HandlerThreadService, since it uses a
  handler to serialize the requests for work. You still have to be
  careful about things that queue up things to the current thread's
  looper -- like Toast, for example. Any deferred processing you want to
  queue up to a handler you set up in the IntentService's onCreate
  method (i.e. on the main thread).

  Anyway, the purpose of HandlerThread's and Handler's is not clean
  shutdown, but rather the queuing of messages via a Looper and
  associated MessageQueue.  If you're only handling one message, ever,
  then creating your own thread would make sense. An AsyncTask would be
  a good choice if you're only running for a short time (but too long
  for the main thread). But if this is something that runs for an
  extended period of time, it would potentially block other uses of
  AsyncTask, so your own thread is a better choice.

  So anyway, to summarize -- Handler's, HandlerThread's, and
  IntentService give you a way to do one thing at a time in another
  thread. AsyncTasks give you a way to do a small number of small things
  in parallel (in some versions of the system, one thing at a time).
  Long-lived things need their own threads -- HandlerThread and
  IntentService can provide this. You stop a thread by testing for some
  condition in the loop in the thread. If the thread needs

  For fun i extended the example i posted earlier. It now feature cpu

  The setup:

  - A GLSurfaceView
  - An OnTouchListener that does nothing but return true
  - A simple renderer thread which is throttled via a Thread.sleep(200)
  to 5 frames per second which outputs the frames per second as well as
  the cpu usage

  Observation on Milestone with 2.0.1:
  - load without touching the screen - 4%-12%
  - load with touching the screen - 24%-44%

  due to the way i measure the cpu usage it of course fluctuates quiet a

   The fundamental issue is that there are too many instructions per

   sleeping will fix that because those events must run through that code
   and that code appears to be very slow.  It surprises me because it's
   truly performance critical code and this issue has been known since
   1.1/1.5 and it still doesn't appear to be fixed in master.  I'm
   looking at it now and the author(s) didn't even follow Android's best
   optimization practices.  Simple things like declaring virtuals with
   local variables aren't done.

   For a moment today I was considering taking the input stack (EventHub,
   KeyInputQueue and InputDevice) and hacking it into my own input stack
   which reads off the event devices much more efficiently but I can't
   find any way to stop the system stack from running and consuming CPU,
   so that hack is out (and probably good because I really didn't want to
   go there - waste of time and probably wouldn't work right anyway).

   In my activity:
   public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
     return false;

   }

   And system_server still consumes about 36% of the CPU while moving my
   finger around.  That proves there is nothing a developer can do to
   work around this.  I think I'll take this issue to the platform group
   now and try to file more specific bugs.

I have already talked a lot about the touch slow down in this forum.
There is another observation I would like to add, may be this can help 
to
track the problem down.

One of my projects is an Argumented Reality Game.
Of course this kind of App eats energy (CPU cycles) like crazy:

In my app I process:
The camare, OpenGL graphics, Pseudo-3D-Sound mixing (8 simultaneous 
samples
+ ogg-music), 2 constant sensor imputs (acceleration, magnetic) and
additional input from trackball, hardware keys and the touch screen.

The largest slow down occurs with the touch-events.

But the next big slow down occurs with the accleration and magnetic 
events!
I gained up to 4 FPS on a N1 by switching from SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST to
SENSOR_DELAY_GAME.

= So I just wonder: May be the slow down is in no way specific to touch
events! Instead the whole input-queue-event handling is just horribly 
slow.
As everyonw has observed: Touching the screen will trigger (flood) lots 
of
events - This is similar as enabling input from other sensors - which 
can
slow down the app in a compareable way, too!
The main differences is only: Touching the screen will still trigger 
more
event than using a sesnor in *SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST*. So the slow down
appears as less drastically...

After working a while with Android, I must say:
The design and architecture of the Java-API seems to be nice and well 
done
most of the time.
But the execution and implementation of the software stack as a whole 
seems
to be just slow, slow, slow, slow,  All this doesn't matter if you 
have
lots of servers with many cores (ENTERPRISE!) but for an
embedded-soft-realtime-device I expect more!

IMHO the OS on an embedded device with a 1 GHZ CPU should not use more 
than
1% of the CPU to process around thousand events per seconds - and even 
this
i would consider slow.

Hi!

I am devoloping an application of image editor. I allways do it by
using the resources in the drawable carpet. Now I changed it to use
the resources in the SD card. I don't change the code of the image
access but the program allways produce an error if I intent to set the
value of a pixel. The program works correctly if I try to read the
pixel but if I try to modify it fails. I think this is a permissions
error but I added the following:

uses-permission
android:name=com.android.editorImagenes.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE/
uses-permission
uses-permission
android:name=com.android.editorImagenes.permission.WRITE_OWNER_DATA/
uses-permission

And everything remains exactly the same. I'm desperate. A thing
happens is that if I try to do the scaling or rotating the image using
a matrix postrotate, etc, the program works correctly and as of this
moment I can use the SetPixel without causing error.

I need help please. Thank you very much.

Hahah--Word. I very much respect your position, although I do have to
agree with John here... And as far as other possible location
providers popping up anytime in the near future, new versions of the
OS will have to accompany them, along with new versions of the SDK,
which would prompt me, as an active developer, to update my apps, and
thanks to the Market's auto-update-prompt feature my users will
receive my update. I'd rather launch a current app faster and upgrade
it as new features become available than spend more time on initial
development planning for future features that may never exist. It is
indeed quite legit to plan for the future as you're talking about,
however. For me it's just a balance of pre-release development time
vs. post-release dev time.

 Depending on your specific needs, a service might make sense, but for
 simple cases, it's not strictly necessary. You can instead use
 Activity.onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(), which allows you to pass
 live Java objects to the new Activity instance - i.e., for example an
 AsyncTask object. Just make sure you don't create leaks by keeping
 references to old instances of your Activity around.

 I've been using a custom ASyncTask child class for a while that allows
 me to connect to the task from a new activity instance, and have the
 proper callbacks be executed even if the tasked finished in-between
 activities being available:

 http://github.com/miracle2k/android-autostarts/blob/master/src/com/el...

 Note that while the docs say that onRetainNonConfigurationInstance is
 only for optimization, it's not quite clear what that the official
 contract is. Yes, it's possible that your activity needs to restore
 itself without onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(). For example, if the
 user leaves your application via HOME and then goes into the Settings
 and changes the device language, your activity will be stopped and
 restarted, presumably without onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() being
 called.

 However, it might be ok if in those cases your api request will indeed
 need start again fresh, depending on it's duration, and maybe whether
 it changes state on the server. But for your run of the mill
 orientation change, onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() is apparently
 being reliable called, and it has been suggested on this list a number
 of times that it is intended to be used for objects that can't be
 stored in a bundle, like for example sockets.

 You can't depend on it being deleted, in fact, you'd prefer it not be.

 Study the diagram in the Activity class documentation (a screen or two

 Depending on what exactly what data is you're getting from the server,
 you may want to reinitialize in onResume() or onStart(). My guess

 Likewise, you may want to de-initialize the data (for example, null
 out the variable containing it) in the onStop() method, which will
 allow the memory to be reclaimed sooner.

[android-developers] Aren't focus states supposed to bubble to child Views?

Hey all-

When using a View within a View, for example an ImageView within a
LinearLayout, both of which have xml drawable resources (the
LinearLayout as a background) specifying PNG drawables to use for the
on/off states, shouldn't children Views receive the focus state when
their parent gets focus? So as far as I understand, both my
LinearLayout and ImageView should be switching to their focus
states...right? Apparently not... Or, more likely, apparently my
implementation is incorrect..

The focus state works on the LinearLayout but my ImageView never
receives focus.. I have both Views set to android:focusable=true.

Thanks,
Nick

I started from the famous Lunar Android sample using facebook. got
55-60 frame per second on my G1.
it smelt good for my game i thought ... BUT when i plugged the surface
view in my game i got a poor 6-9 Frame per second making the game
unplayable.

After debugging removing all content of my doDraw used by the thread
controlling the surface view i found the problem.

The problem is not the quantity of sprites i displayed but the
concurrency between threads used for receiving my game data over TCP
and the UI thread i use to control surface view.

If when i start displaying the game i stop the my socket protocol
threads (reader, writer) the game is refreshed at 25 FPS which is not
50 FPS but large enought to make the game playable.

So my question is how in realtime game for android i can send /
received data (and not delayed of course) without killing the game
refresh rate.

Last thing i use canvas and not open gl but i don't need open gl and i
really see the problem comes from the multithreading

Thanks a Lot for your help.

There's no simple way. You are on the right track.

However, a cheap workaround would be to have this arraylist as a
static variable of your source activity. This way, you can access this
Array List from your destination activity

I guess MyClass need to implement Parcelable interface, so I just
did
it. But still, it does not work.

Maybe I need to create a Bundle and then use Bundle's
putParcelableArrayList
method to put my ArrayListMyClass object in, and then pass this bundle

So crazy! I am lazy, I just want to pass an ArrayListMyClass object

[android-developers] ImageView animation: rotate a certain amount of degrees at some set interval

Hey all-

First off, I'm aware a simple hack to achieve this would be to run a
Thread with a sleep for however many milliseconds I want my interval
to be and rotate it a certain amount of degrees every time the Thread
is run... I'm looking for a built-in way to achieve this animation
effect, however--or, rather, hoping there is one...

The title pretty much explains it all... I have an ImageView that
contains a loading spinner and I'd like to achieve the same appearance
from its spin as I would get were it a gif on an AJAX Website.. A set
amount of frames, each one being the image rotated a certain amount of
degrees from the previous frame (this amount of degrees is static
throughout the entire animation).

If there is a standard way, please enlighten me.. If not, let me know
and I'll pursue the hack.

Thanks!
Nick

[android-developers] Movie class for displaying animated GIF files.

2010-04-19 Thread skan95

Dear all.

In ApiDemo app, an animated GIF file is decoded using Movie.

What I would like to know is that,
1. why didn't Google use the class to decode animated GIF file in
Gallery?
2. usages of duration() and setTime() api in Movis class.

Maybe, I am not sure, HTC Magic phone may use this concept as if
animated GIF is decoded.
Anyone know whether HTC uses this concept or not?

thx for your reply but it doesn't work as will.  setLongClickable() in case
MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE phrase doesn't work.

But I have figure out the way. The view default implementation will cancel

let the default implementation takes effect.

[android-developers] access to the edittexts inside adapter

2010-04-19 Thread FrankieCZ

Hi,

I'm facing following problem. I have a layout, which is inflated
inside an adapter (extended BaseAdapter). The layout consists of
TextView, EditText and of two buttons (Save and Delete). This group is
for each item in database and then it's listed one by one, so it
means, on screen there can be several groups of these widgets.

The point is, how to access the content of the EditText in the group
when I press the button Save? I've tried to put setTag() on EditText
and Save button:

...
public View getView(...) {
...
contentEditText = (EditText) v.findViewById(R.id.ContentEditText);
contentEditText.setTag(EditText + mIds.get(position));

editBtn.setTag(mIds.get(position));
editBtn.setOnClickListener(editBtnListener);
}

and then in the listener to access the EditText via findViewWithTag:

private OnClickListener editBtnListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(final View v) {
logger.LogInfo(EDIT_BTN onClickListener():  + v.getTag());
EditText tmp = (EditText)
v.findViewWithTag(EditText+v.getTag());
}
};

The first line
logger.LogInfo(EDIT_BTN onClickListener():  + v.getTag());
return the correct Tag for the pressed button (first, second row,
etc.)

Unfortunately,
the second line where I'm trying to get the EditText object, the tmp
object is null, so, the object is not found with the findViewWithTag
method...


Any idea how to solve this or maybe to use another approach in this
situation?

Thanks
Frankie

In that case you have a problem indeed. Frame buffer objects will not

OpenGL for the time being. I'm not aware of an alternative but

   All Mario and I are trying to say is that the thing you are trying to

   especially if you can target higher levels of opengl or use extensions
   like framebufferobjects.  If you would be willing to tell us something
   a little bit more specific about what you're doing that requires a
   texture update every frame, we could potentially offer some more
   efficient ways of doing it.

Thanks, Mario.
I think it's somewrong with the driver or the chip. It's not just a
bandwidth problem. If it's really a bandwidth problem, it only has 1/7
bandwidth of milestone? (150ms compare to 20ms with a full screen
tex).That's very funny.

I'm working on some libs, which will be used for our tools and games.
When a full screen update only takes 20+ms, it's usable in some
conditions as it already gets at least 40fps.

On 4月17日, 下午6时22分, Mario Zechner badlogicga...@gmail.com wrote:

 It seems that the msm chips are notorious for having a low bandwidth.
 There's really no solution to that problem other than

 1) lowering your texture size
 2) lowering the bit depth of the texture, e.g. instead of using
 RGBA use RGBA444 or RGB565
 2) uploading your texture in patches, e.g. split it up into 4 smaller
 parts and upload one part each frame. This will probably lead to
 artifacts if your frame rate is low but could work otherwise.

 Just out of curiousity: why do you have to upload such a big texture
 each frame? If you'd state your scenario in detail we might be able to
 suggest other solutions to the problem.

[android-developers] Re: How to get wifi account and password in code?

I highly doubt this is possible--seems like a huge security hole to
me. And I don't believe the Android system has anything in place to
allow you indirect access to its saved passwords (like the OS X
Keychain). What would you need this info for anyway? If wifi is on,
the wifi password is saved on the phone, and the wifi network is
available, the system will connect to it automatically.

[android-developers] Re: OutOfMemory problem

You say your error doesn't happen as often if you are plugged into
your computer? Is that what you mean by VM? If so, that's likely
because you're developing your code at the time and every time you run
it on the device it kills and restarts your process.. leaving little
time for memory leaks to lead to OutOfMemory errors. Just FYI.

As for your OutOfMemory errors, this can be a really tough one to
debug.. Your app is leaking memory somewhere, but its hard to say
where. The image is not necessarily the problem, it could simply be
the tipping point that finally forces your app to crash. I would
recommend reading over all the articles tagged Optimization over at
http://android-developers.blogspot.com

[android-developers] java.lang.Object in aidl

2010-04-19 Thread Peerke

Hello,

I have a aidl interface in a service. In this interface I want to
create a function that can return a int, double or string. In Java I
can do that with the java.lang.Object type. But this type is not a
basic java type or a parceble, so I can't use this in aidl. Somebody
knows a way to still do this in aidl?

Kind regards,

Peter

[android-developers] Re: Defining an XML vertical line drawable

 Hello,

 I'm trying to figure out how to define a verical line (1px thick) to
 be used as a drawable.

 to make a horizontal one, it's pretty straightforward:

 shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
 android:shape=line
     stroke android:width=1dp android:color=#FF/
     size android:height=50dp /
 /shape

 The question is, how to make this line vertical?

 Yes, there are workarounds, such as drawing a rectangle shape 1px
 thick, but that complicates the drawable xml, if it consists of
 multiple item elements.

 Anyone had any chance with this?

[android-developers] updating a contact in 2.x Contacts API

2010-04-19 Thread Timo Prill


hi all,

i got a problem updating a contact's details.
i use the following code to update the contact name:
operations is a ArrayList of ContentProviderOperation.


operations.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(
ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(Data._ID + =?, new String[]{id})

.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE,StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)

.withValue(StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME, firstName)
.withValue(StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME, lastName)
.build());

contentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, operations);


but after this query, the contact name is not updated.. (at least the 
name did not change in the phone's addressbook)
i cant figure out why...what am i doing wrong? must be a simple thing i 
am missing..

[android-developers] Re: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException while reading the file

I suspect you've been having some trouble reading the documentation in
English. I've had the experience of reading API documentation in a
foreign language, so I know it can be difficult. You probably only got
a couple points wrong, but then the confusions piled on top of each
other, and it will be hard to sort out now.

(My apologies if my assessment is incorrect -- I'm just trying to
guess at the kind of help that will help you quickest).

First, let me talk about the problems I see in the code. If you can't
understand, don't worry! Just go to where I suggest what to do now,
and come back to this later...

I think you are expecting the arguments to in.readFully to be the
positions in the file. They are not. They are positions in the array.
The way you are using it, start should always be 0, and end should
always be 102400, unless you are reading the last chunk of the file,
in which case it should be the remaining size.

Another problem: You should never use the String(byte[]) constructor.
You NEVER want to let the system pick a character encoding for you.
And I don't recommend using any encoding other than UTF-8 if you have
a choice. So add UTF-8 as a second argument there.

You're copying your data an extra time to create the argument string
to sendData. Is there a reason to not rewrite sendData to take a
string for the first part, and a byte[] for the second?

I'm pretty sure your use of in.skip(start) is not what you want,
either! You just skip further and further ahead in the file, first 0
bytes, and (try to) send the next block, then skip the following
block, skip even more next time, then process one block, skip even
more...  I think maybe you think 'skip' positions the input stream at
a particular position?

I'm quite puzzled by the fact that you're incrementing the end by only
102398, but are reading 102400 byte chunks (or trying to). I think
something is wrong there, but I'm not sure what you're intending..

I don't see any reason for using DataInputStream -- and maybe not
in.skip(), except possibly with an argument of 2?

Here's what I think you should do: start over. Keep it as simple as
possible.

In fact, I think you should start with a simpler example -- a simple
text file., and a block of 100 bytes, so you can easily see how things
work.

Just open an InputStream, and read and write, like this:

InputStream in = new FileInputStream(myFile);
try {
  int count = 0;
  byte[] buf = new byte[100];
  while ((count = in.read(buf)) = 0) {
String str = new String(buf, 0, count, UTF-8);
System.out.print(Read: );
System.out.println(str);
  }
} finally {
  in.close();
}

Run that on your computer, don't even bother on Android just yet. Step
through it with the debugger, and watch what happens and how it works.

Note I didn't supply a byte range to in.read(buf) -- you only need to
use those arguments if you only want it to use a portion of the byte
array.

If you really need to skip a couple of bytes, you can do that a couple
of ways -- new String(buf, 2, count-2), or you can do in.skip(2) to
skip two bytes. I suggest using skip(2) may be easier to understand,
if you really are skipping 2 bytes.

Then, once you're satisfied you understand how this works -- I think
you'll be ready to rewrite your code.

I hope this helps.

           }

 But when this method throws IndexOutOfboundException at line 133.
 Actually I thought because of in.readFully(byteArray, start, end);
 
 It reads from start to end and store it to byteArray, but it is not
 working like that.

 Anybody knows what I am doing wrong?

[android-developers] Moving to the next ImageView in HorizontalScrollview?

2010-04-19 Thread javame_android

Hi,

I have a horizontal scroll view and there are four images in it. Now
what I want is the way to detect which image is focused currently. I
mean, is there any way that we can distinguish between the image that
is focused and other images. Currently all the images look quite
similar.

One more thing, how to move only to the next image on every swipe or
fling.

Moreover, I have tried the same thing with Gallery, but I didn't found
anything in the Gallery that let me move to the next view only. In
Gallery, I have tried overriding the onfling method with hardcoded
value for veloctiyX but with no success. Can someone let me know how
to do this?

Doing the same thing with either Gallery view or HorizontalScrollview
will solve my issue.

Hope to get the quick response.


Regards
Sunil

[android-developers] Re: requestLocationUpdates issue

FWIW -- I just did go look at the source for Timer, and cancel() does
exactly what I expected.

It synchronizes on its internal queue, sets a flag, clears the queue,
and does queue.notify().

On Apr 19, 12:20 am, Bob Kerns r...@acm.org wrote:
 What he's doing there is specific to using a timer. I'm sure
 internally, it tells the timer thread to stop processing tasks and
 exit, just like I outlined earlier.

 Generally speaking -- if you have a facility that provides a way to
 wake it up, when trying to end a task, it's good to wake it up so it
 can die. For example, setting a flag and calling notifyAll() to
 unblock a thread waiting in wait(). I expect this is what calling
 Timer.cancel() does, though I  haven't looked at the source.

 If a Timer meets your needs, then I recommend using it; it will be
 much simpler than any approach you came up yourself. However, remember
 that a single timer only uses a single thread, so if it does something
 that takes a long time, other scheduled tasks won't run until it
 finishes. This can be a reason to use separate timers for different
 tasks.

 Note that this won't solve your problem above -- because calling
 Timer.cancel() won't do anything to terminate YOUR loop. It terminates
 the scheduling loop that waits on and runs tasks. It doesn't stop the
 tasks once they're running.

  Hi Bob,

  Thanks a lot for this. This helped me to understand a lot of things.

  On Apr 18, 7:03 pm, Bob Kerns r...@acm.org wrote:

   OK, I understand your thinking a bit better, so hopefully I can
   explain a bit better.

   onDestroy() is only called when your application is idle. The system
   will NEVER directly call a lifecycle method except when the main
   thread is idle If you are running some long-lived function from, say,
   onStart(), or a handler in the main thread.  All of these are handled
   one at a time by the main thread's Looper.

   So there will be no abrupt termination of your function when
   onDestroy() is called. That only happens if it kills off the process.
   Which is a lot more likely to happen if you block the main thread --
   after a while, the user will get a dialog offering to kill or wait for
   the busy process!

   Java used to support interrupting and abruptly terminating threads.
   However, there is absolutely NO way to make this a safe operation.
   Android does kill off processes, which can leave things outside the
   process in an inconsistent state, but that's not as bad as having your
   application still running, but in an inconsistent state internally! So
   abruptly force-quitting a method is not part of the model of any Java
   system. (But you can still check, and throw an exception to get out of
   a loop -- that will properly invoke all finally() clauses on the way
   out, etc.).

   It's hard for me to tell you the proper way to stop your service,
   because it depends on just what you're doing. You have part of the
   idea, by checking for a termination flag in your loop. You can set
   that in your onDestroy() method -- akin to what you're trying to do
   with your call to the undocumented Looper.quit() method.  But what you
   want to do is to set your CARuntimes.MainServiceRunFlag  instead.
   (Except I'd make that an instance member of your Service class, rather
   than a static of some other class. Better modularity, though you can
   make it work this way).

   It looks to me like what you're really trying to do, is what the
   system already provides for you better -- IntentService. I really
   don't know what their intent was, calling it this -- I think I'd call
   it ThreadedService, since the relevant point is that it runs your code
   in a separate thread. Or maybe HandlerThreadService, since it uses a
   handler to serialize the requests for work. You still have to be
   careful about things that queue up things to the current thread's
   looper -- like Toast, for example. Any deferred processing you want to
   queue up to a handler you set up in the IntentService's onCreate
   method (i.e. on the main thread).

   Anyway, the purpose of HandlerThread's and Handler's is not clean
   shutdown, but rather the queuing of messages via a Looper and
   associated MessageQueue.  If you're only handling one message, ever,
   then creating your own thread would make sense. An AsyncTask would be
   a good choice if you're only running for a short time (but too long
   for the main thread). But if this is something that runs for an
   extended period of time, it would potentially block other uses of
   AsyncTask, so your own thread is a better choice.

   So anyway, to summarize -- Handler's, HandlerThread's, and
   IntentService give you a way to do one thing at a time in another
   thread.

Hi,
Can i do this :-
Set the image background path as package:imageName
Example.. At runtime , my package is com.test.android .Inside that i have an
image whose path i want to mention in the XML layout file as
android:src = com.test.android/img1 for an ImageButton.
I saw an SDK reference for ImageView as android:src =
@[+][package:]type:name .. But i am not getting how to use it.. I think it
must not be possibe , but if there is any way , please specify..
The reason why i want to do this is that , when i specify a drawable at
runtime for my image buttons, i change the images according to Focus
received , or onKeyup, KeyDown.. but its not working as expected.When i
mention the same thing as style under drawable , it works fine. So if my
theme is going to change at runtime , i want to set the drawable at runtime
, keepnig the path same in the xml.
Thanks ,

[android-developers] Accessing protected fields from View subclass

2010-04-19 Thread Pavel Khlustikov

Hi,

I'm implementing custom widget exdending a View class. But I've found that
View's protected field (e.g. mLeft) is not accessible from subClass:

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.View;

public class MyView extends View {

public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}

private void init() {
*mLeft* =1; // eclipse says here mLeft cannot be resolved
 }
}

Of couse, instead of mLeft I can use getLeft(). But what will I do if some
protected field doesnt have a getter (like mGroupFlags in ViewGroup)?

Maybe something  wrong with my Eclipse setting?

Please, help

[android-developers] Re: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers

2010-04-19 Thread mscwd01

Many people have said the phones will be shipping not from the US but
from a warehouse in Europe so I agree that the volcano shouldn't have
any effect on delivering the phones. They would be sent over land not
by air - which makes me wonder if there is another issue delaying the
phones?

 Since the phones to EU, or at least to us in sweden, are shippen from
 Frankfurt at least people in germany should have received theirs by
 now, with or without any volcano?

2010-04-19 Thread George | SlideME

Shane,

Seems you received just enough information from Francois to put blame and
accuse me and SlideME for being dishonest publicly.  I am afraid I have to
disappoint you and provide the communication transcripts, so the members on
this list can judge for themselves if we are dishonest or what kind of a
person you are with words to mash it all up in your favor.

-
I have prepared a transcript of the communication with Francois (koxx).

21 Oct 2009: Sends email to Shane and Shane confirms: Just send me an
invoice with the time period, contact info, method of payment, amount and
then I'll take care of it.
(this did not happen)

8th Nov 2009: Sends invoice within email as text and not as an invoices
attachment  signed as required
9th Nov 2009 : Thanks me for his payout executed from my personal account.

Jan 28th, 2010: After asking if invoices were sent, confirms No, there was
no 'true' invoice in 2009. Just this (an informal text in email)

Jan 28th, 2010: Confirm that we issued a payout without a proper invoice
from developer and that we were in error for doing so, and we needed a
proper invoice.

Feb 2, 2010: Issued report, again.

March 28th, 2010: Followed up with developer on status and why he decided to
unpublish as customers wanted an upgrade and asked Was due to any reason
when previous partner 'Shane' did not remit payment to you on time?
Answer: Mar 28, 2010: Confirms, and claims he forgot to issue invoice to us.

March 29th, 2010: We issued up to date reports again

April 4th, 2010: Assisted personally developer to prepare invoices since
english is not his native language and was finding it difficult to prepare
such invoices.

April 6th, 2010: Received for the 1st time proper invoices for first payout
and new second invoice.

April 8th, 2010: Remittance sent for last invoice

Assumed developer was happy now, but again not enough of my help was enough
to keep him as a publisher on SlideME. Offered developer to forward his
email address to users of his application that wanted an upgrade and did so
as per their request.

Shane, one request. You need to retract now in public any such accusations
that I and SlideME are operating a dishonest operation. I would agree you
could make such accusations if you were a judge and have a clear picture
from both sides. Nothing gives you the right in public without knowing both
sides of the story to make such strong accusations that could be detrimental
to SlideME.

re: Martin's case, Martin missed reading the requirements documented clearly
in the 1st email to him as explained earlier in this thread and he issued
what was definitely not an invoice that we had to ignore. A human error on
his behalf, does not make us dishonest. I will take blame, by not following
up with him and mentioning that we could not accept this invoice, that I did
not do.

We have gone out of our way to assist these developers and it seems
developers that are demanding, or for some reason do not like the way we
conduct business tend to publicly post negative comments for their own
reasons.  Unfortunately, we can only stretch our hand out so much to assist
them, and still we find they take a bite at it.

 George,

 I have a general policy of not attacking people personally, but in this
 case, I'll make an exception because I think it is warranted. You are a
 dishonest individual. You came on this list and publicly accused me of being
 the reason developers did not get paid. And yet, it took 5 months after I
 left SlideME for you to resolve and pay a simple invoice. Yet you gave a
 completely (dishonest) impression on this list that it was my fault. You
 also blamed your recently botched rollout of SAM on me (4 months after I
 left). In addition, you were dishonest in regards to your replies to Martin
 on this list.

 SlideME needs to take responsibility for its actions. Stop pointing fingers
 to others. Stop spinning things. Just cleanup the payout mess. Developers
 are saying it's not working for them and is likely the cause of all these
 angry posts from developers. Deleting these posts from SlideME forums raises
 a lot of eyebrows and was no small factor in why I brought these issues
 forward.

 And for god's sake, stop blaming me for all SlideME's problems. I left 5
 months ago.

 It is very difficult to know what is needed by SlideMe to get your

 You need to request payout balance (we should receive a summary each

 all sales keys (!!!), print it, sign it, scan it, and sent it !!!

[android-developers] Re: problems with custom listview adapter getView() method

2010-04-19 Thread edzah

Thanks Romain, getView is now called for each row only once.

Just one follow up question:

it seems that I am having a problem with the listviewadapter.

resultsList = (ListView) this.findViewById(R.id.list);
resultsList.setAdapter(new ResultsListAdapter(this,R.layout.row,
currentSearch));

In my getView I am doing a request for each row to get the thumbnail
image in a different thread:

if (record.getImgURL().equals(none))
holder.thumbView.setImageResource(R.drawable.nothumb);
else
{
String url = item.getImgURL();
makeRequest(position,url,null,false);
}

and handling the response from makeRequest()

@Override
public void onResponseCompleted(boolean success, int userId, int
ticket, Request request) {
if (success)
{
 ...
ViewHolder holder =
(ViewHolder)resultsList.getChildAt(userId).getTag();

This works fine for the first 5 records, then this last line throws a
null pointer exception because for some reason, even though the
getview is called on the row represented by
resultsList.getChildAt(userId) - which it must to call makeRequest
anyway - the view hasn't been added to resultsList.

Why is this happening? There are no convertViews yet / The screen fits
4 rows and I can scroll down to the fifth and it works fine, just the
sixth row that isn't added to the resultsList.


On Apr 14, 5:26 pm, Romain Guy romain...@android.com wrote:
 This is not an issue, there is absolutely no guarantee on the order in
 which getView() will be called nor how many times. In your particular
 case you are doing the worst thing possible with a ListView by giving
 it a height=wrap_content. This forces ListView to measure a few
 children out of the adapter at layout time, to know how big it should
 be. This is what provides ListView with the convertViews you see
 passed to getView() even before you scroll.

  AFAIK, though I couldn't find it stated explicitly, getView() is only
  called for visible rows. Since my app starts with four visible rows at
  least the position numbers cycling from 0-3 makes sense. But the rest
  is a mess:

     * Why is getview called for each row three times?
     * Where are these convertViews coming from when I haven't scrolled
  yet?

  I did a bit of reseach, and without getting a good answer, I did
  notice that people were associating this issue with layout issues. So
  in case, here's the layout that contains the list:

  ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
  LinearLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/

     android:layout_height=fill_parent

         android:layout_width=fill_parent
         android:layout_height=wrap_content
         android:drawSelectorOnTop=false /

  /LinearLayout

  and the layout of each individual row:

Now insead of using the style in xml , i am trying to do that in code.
The defination of Button is same in the XML except the
android:background=@drawable/button_style
 android:drawableLeft=@drawable/button_left_style
android:drawableRight=@drawable/button_right_style have been
removed and inseat , i have done the following in code .
btn.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(

btn.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(getResources().getDrawable(
R.drawable.btns_lft_up_320x480), null, getResources()
.getDrawable(R.drawable.btns_rt_up_320x480), null);
The right image in the attached screen shot shows that everything is

 I saw an SDK reference for ImageView as android:src =
 @[+][package:]type:name .. But i am not getting how to use it.. I think it
 must not be possibe , but if there is any way , please specify..
 The reason why i want to do this is that , when i specify a drawable at
 runtime for my image buttons, i change the images according to Focus
 received , or onKeyup, KeyDown.. but its not working as expected.When i
 mention the same thing as style under drawable , it works fine. So if my

Not really.


 What is the link between these three classes?


Look at the documentation and see how they call each other.


  In addition, once the xml file has been loaded
 using addPreferenceFromResource()  how do I access the preferences file;
 do I create an instance of PreferenceManager and use
 the getDefaultSharedPreferences() function or directly create
 a SharedPreferences object and use the getSharedPreferences() function?


I use getDefaultSharedPreference() to ensure I use the same

The fundamental issue is that there are too many instructions per

truly performance critical code and this issue has been known since
1.1/1.5 and it still doesn't appear to be fixed in master.  I'm
looking at it now and the author(s) didn't even follow Android's best
optimization practices.  Simple things like declaring virtuals with
local variables aren't done.

For a moment today I was considering taking the input stack (EventHub,
KeyInputQueue and InputDevice) and hacking it into my own input stack
which reads off the event devices much more efficiently but I can't
find any way to stop the system stack from running and consuming CPU,
so that hack is out (and probably good because I really didn't want to
go there - waste of time and probably wouldn't work right anyway).

In my activity:
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent e) {
  return false;

}

And system_server still consumes about 36% of the CPU while moving my
finger around.  That proves there is nothing a developer can do to
work around this.  I think I'll take this issue to the platform group
now and try to file more specific bugs.

 I have already talked a lot about the touch slow down in this forum.
 There is another observation I would like to add, may be this can 
 help to
 track the problem down.

 One of my projects is an Argumented Reality Game.
 Of course this kind of App eats energy (CPU cycles) like crazy:

 In my app I process:
 The camare, OpenGL graphics, Pseudo-3D-Sound mixing (8 simultaneous 
 samples
 + ogg-music), 2 constant sensor imputs (acceleration, magnetic) and
 additional input from trackball, hardware keys and the touch screen.

 The largest slow down occurs with the touch-events.

 But the next big slow down occurs with the accleration and magnetic 
 events!
 I gained up to 4 FPS on a N1 by switching from SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST to
 SENSOR_DELAY_GAME.

 = So I just wonder: May be the slow down is in no way specific to 
 touch
 events! Instead the whole input-queue-event handling is just horribly 
 slow.
 As everyonw has observed: Touching the screen will trigger (flood) 
 lots of
 events - This is similar as enabling input from other sensors - which 
 can
 slow down the app in a compareable way, too!
 The main differences is only: Touching the screen will still trigger 
 more
 event than using a sesnor in *SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST*. So the slow down
 appears as less drastically...

 After working a while with Android, I must say:
 The design and architecture of the Java-API seems to be nice and well 
 done
 most of the time.
 But the execution and implementation of the software stack as a whole 
 seems
 to be just slow, slow, slow, slow,  All this doesn't matter if 
 you have
 lots of servers with many cores

Re: [android-developers] Moving to the next ImageView in HorizontalScrollview?

 Hi,

 I have a horizontal scroll view and there are four images in it. Now
 what I want is the way to detect which image is focused currently. I
 mean, is there any way that we can distinguish between the image that
 is focused and other images. Currently all the images look quite
 similar.

 One more thing, how to move only to the next image on every swipe or
 fling.

 Moreover, I have tried the same thing with Gallery, but I didn't found
 anything in the Gallery that let me move to the next view only. In
 Gallery, I have tried overriding the onfling method with hardcoded
 value for veloctiyX but with no success. Can someone let me know how
 to do this?

 Doing the same thing with either Gallery view or HorizontalScrollview
 will solve my issue.

 Hope to get the quick response.

[android-developers] Re: Device Seeding Program for Top Android Market Developers

2010-04-19 Thread fhucho

@Ove Olaavgard
I completely agree with you. The worst thing is that they are not
giving any information about when/if will they expand support for
selling apps to more countries. Not being able to get any response
from them is really frustrating. They don't even answer simple
questions like Will it happen in 2010 or later?. In the Czech
Republic, Google Checkout is normally working, so why it's so hard to
allow Czech developers to sell their apps? I think that they are
artificially delaying it, because it's a way to keep prices on the
Market down. Devs from countries where selling is not allowed will put
their high quality apps for free - and this will also force
competitors who can sell their apps to keep the price low.

You cannot merely call setProgress() once. If you want the ProgressBar
to update every second, you will need to call setProgress() every second.

In this sample project, I am using postDelayed() to achieve this effect:

[android-developers] The public key in the certificate cannot be used for ENCRYPT_MODE

2010-04-19 Thread Pavol Kaiser

Hello,

I am trying to establish a SSL connection and send messages using it.
I use MINA for this however i get the following error:

Caused by: java.security.InvalidKeyException: The public key in the
certificate cannot be used for ENCRYPT_MODE
 at javax.crypto.Cipher.init(Cipher.java:815)
 at javax.crypto.Cipher.init(Cipher.java:747)
 at
org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.ClientHandshakeImpl.processServerHelloDone(ClientHandshakeImpl.java:
418)


I found out in the Cipher class that this exception is thrown if I
want to use the certificate for encryption and the certificate has set
extension critical but doesn't have extension encipherOnly.

I tried both - removing extension critical and setting it together
with encipherOnly for the key that I am using. Both throw the same
exception.Even though it doesnt make any sense.

Interesting is that the same key works on my java server running on
windows machine. Isn't it possible that there is some bug in android
that is causing this? Is there any workaround for this?

Thank you

Palo

Responses like this have been posted to this thread for some time now,
long enough for the devices to have arrived by any normal shipping
method. Then it struck me... What if ALL the phones were indeed
shipped from the US?

This is pure speculation, you understand, but it fits the facts as
we've been given them. Surface mail from the US to Europe usually
takes 6-8 weeks, so it's entirely possible that our phones could have
been in transit since mid-March. Maybe the handsets were all with
BrightPoint in the US, and rather than move them to Europe and THEN
ship them, somebody decided to do it all in one step, and just ship
direct.

It also could explain why the vast majority of US developers got
Droids rather than Nexii. Perhaps BrightPoint had approximately equal
numbers in stock, but after allocating a Nexus One to each non-US
recipient, it was mostly Droids left over.

Is that completely crazy? :^)

let your video be a standard mpeg file. And Launch a new activity to

   Eong,

   All Mario and I are trying to say is that the thing you are trying to
   do (upload textures every frame) is generally not considered a good
   practice and workarounds usually exist that are more efficient,
   especially if you can target higher levels of opengl or use extensions
   like framebufferobjects.  If you would be willing to tell us something
   a little bit more specific about what you're doing that requires a
   texture update every frame, we could potentially offer some more
   efficient ways of doing it.

Thanks, Mario.
I think it's somewrong with the driver or the chip. It's not just a
bandwidth problem. If it's really a bandwidth problem, it only has 1/7
bandwidth of milestone? (150ms compare to 20ms with a full screen
tex).That's very funny.

I'm working on some libs, which will be used for our tools and games.
When a full screen update only takes 20+ms, it's usable in some
conditions as it already gets at least 40fps.

On 4月17日, 下午6时22分, Mario Zechner badlogicga...@gmail.com wrote:

 It seems that the msm chips are notorious for having a low bandwidth.
 There's really no solution to that problem other than

 1) lowering your texture size
 2) lowering the bit depth of the texture, e.g. instead of using
 RGBA use RGBA444 or RGB565
 2) uploading your texture in patches, e.g. split it up into 4 smaller
 parts and upload one part each frame. This will probably lead to
 artifacts if your frame rate is low but could work otherwise.

 Just out of curiousity: why do you have to upload such a big texture
 each frame? If you'd state your scenario in detail we might be able to
 suggest other solutions to the problem.

 BrightPoint in the US, and rather than move them to Europe and THEN
 ship them, somebody decided to do it all in one step, and just ship
 direct.

 It also could explain why the vast majority of US developers got
 Droids rather than Nexii. Perhaps BrightPoint had approximately equal
 numbers in stock, but after allocating a Nexus One to each non-US
 recipient, it was mostly Droids left over.

That might be the case, but I just cant understand why they would ship them

As a professional shipping partner, it should not be any problem shipping
5-20.000 units at all, considering all the other phones they ship daily.
And not beeing able to deliver within 7 weeks??? Completely unbelievable.

Possible reasons: Somebody screwed up, or there was inadequate
communication between the person at Google saying 2-4 weeks and the
person at BrightPoint deciding how to send the phones. For the number
of handsets in question, the shipping cost difference between air and
surface would be considerable. Notice how none of the recent responses
from Google mention 2-4 weeks.

The theory is that only the Market seeding phones are coming from the
US via surface mail. AFAIK, the ADC2 recipients all got theirs within
the 2-4 week timeframe, while none of the Market folks outside the US
have.

[android-developers] HTC Incredible no default external storage?

the HTC incredible is now available for pre order at Verizon. Engadget
has already done a review at:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/droid-incredible-review/

They mention that there is a storage issue with a lot of apps because
it does not come with an external SD card by default. It does have a
lot of separate internal storage, but apps cannot use it.

Does anyone have more info about this from a developer's point of
view. What path will Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() return
and what is the correct way to get the path of the internal storage?
