Yep, it happened to my counts too. Seems to be exactly half of what both counts were for me. It happened about 4pm PST. I expect it will stay this way over the weekend.

[android-developers] Re: Oracle Android App Store
(our revenue is from ads in the client customisation deals in case you're wondering). Then I'm assuming you must require the app publisher to make some small addition to their source code - which is no big deal to the coder. If you also add in that Market does things that third party after- market app stores can't (automatic updates, copy protection, permissions-before-download installs), you can see that any company getting into the Android app store space is competing on a uneven playing field from day 1 on devices where they aren't integrated into the firmware If you already require a mod to the source as per above, you could also add some phone-home 'occasionally' capability (your marketplace home) ... which could implement a 'better' copy protection mechanism than the Android Market currently has. Similarly, you could also use such phone-home code to implement a 'better' updates policy - e.g. I find the current update mechanism in Android Market a pain in the butt in that it tries to update apps 'too often'. E.g. you could let the 'phone user' pick a minimum update frequency which overrides those frenetic/frivolous updaters. So, there's two-out-of-three USPs (unique selling points) you could do better than Android Market, in what you have outlined as disadvantages. In addition, you could do the web site version 'a whole lot better' than Android Market. [ I'm actually starting to think that maybe the delay in any Android Market update was largely a lack of traditional structured data modeling skills - having recently watched their curtness/defensiveness at the IO 2010 android fireside chat wrt the Market. Sun Inc had such a problem - because they were such an OO-shop, they didn't really get the need for a DBMS and structured data until way too late. i.e. You can't really do an Amazon-like Web 2.0 shop (recommendations, meta- recommendations, etc) with a free-text-index-Google-style search mentality approach to DB design. ] Whatever the initial reason, given that the annual IO-2010 came-and- went with hot air and no progress Market-wise, the next big 'timing' event for Google to put out any new Android Market features, will be the same week as the release of the Windows7 mobile and its accompanying App Store - which gives you a lot of lead-time for such improvements. Steve On Jun 11, 4:19 pm, Al Sutton a...@funkyandroid.com wrote: Do we need any more app stores? :) We've been running AndAppStore since the G1 launch and the most common reason we hear for developers not listing is that they don't want to maintain multiple market listings, so I doubt that the creation of multiple markets backed by large companies is viable. AndAppStore gives 100% of app sales revenue to developers, making it as profitable as possible for paid-apps, and we still hit the multiple market maintenance issue (our revenue is from ads in the client customisation deals in case you're wondering).

Al. P.S. In case you were wondering, we keep running AndAppStore because people want us to and it doesn't drain the companies resources.

[android-developers] Kill/Stop other Services in API 8 (Froyo 2.2)
I know of the wonderful change from 2.1 to 2.2 that ActivityManager.restartPackage now doesn't do the dirty stuff anymore since it now calls killBackgroundProcesses. Nice on one side, but bad on the other side. Because of that Services are not killed anymore. See as well: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/6a544bfd05bf10cf/dc495cdeaa92c98d?lnk=gstq=killbackgroundprocesses#dc495cdeaa92c98d I am the developer of SleepTimer in the Android market and used restartPackage to stop Music Players to play music. I therefore killed the services. That worked well. But now with killBackgroundProcesses it doesn't work anymore. I added the new Permission to my manifest, but still the music remains running. Yes i know that google kind of wants that. But it breaks the possibility to stop the different music players from my app. Now my question: Is there another way to kill/stop other services (music player services) in API 8?

[android-developers] Re: AlarmManager problems in Milestone
If you take a look at the log data, you will find that your milestone goes into something that you may want to call a deep sleep. Even your standard alarm clock will not run reliably. To provoke the issue: Turn the display off and have no apps running that keep the phone active, let the phone sit for a few hours (even though this has been reported to happen after only a minute too). Then the milestone will at some point completely stop running and only come back to life when you manually awaken the display. Check the logcat output. If you turn off the display, let it sit over night, you will find some activity after you turned off the display and then everything stops, no activity at all until you turn on the display again. You can prevent this from happening by one of the following: - keep the phone on a charger/dock - keep the display on - keep the phone running with a partial wake lock; do not manually turn off the display (let it go off by itself) I had numerous users of my app Gentle Alarm report this issue but all the workarounds above work.

Re: [android-developers] root permission
Why don't you let the app create/populate the db? So you don't have to worry about permissions to access the /data folder. For rooting the phone check xda (http://forum.xda-developers.com/) and search for 'rooting + your phone model'. Otherwise if you just need to copy files (e.g. from the sdcard) to the /data/data/your.package.name/databases you could write code inside your app to do that (since your app has permissions to access its data dir) - check http://www.screaming-penguin.com/node/7749.

[android-developers] Re: Market problems again
Theoretically the lower number could be correct and the old number wrong. Not saying it is, just saying it is possible. Or they could both be correct, but the definition changed. If the market is now coded such that apps that request newer permissions like the Bluetooth one don't show up on older phones, even though some of those apps were capable of working without it, maybe it discounts downloads for those phones too. Things like that. It would be neat to have some external confirmation, like a paid app that has more Google Checkout receipts than downloads.

Then I'm assuming you must require the app publisher to make some small addition to their source code - which is no big deal to the coder. Nope. The ads are only in our client, and the customisation deals are with OEMs and hardware distributors for customer versions of our systems. Developers don't have to modify anything. If you also add in that Market does things that third party after- market app stores can't (automatic updates, copy protection, permissions-before-download installs), you can see that any company getting into the Android app store space is competing on a uneven playing field from day 1 on devices where they aren't integrated into the firmware If you already require a mod to the source as per above, you could also add some phone-home 'occasionally' capability (your marketplace home) ... which could implement a 'better' copy protection mechanism than the Android Market currently has. AndAppStore already offers a purchase checking facility where developers can, if they want to, check against our database of purchases to see if the user has purchased a copy of the app for the specific device it's running on. Similarly, you could also use such phone-home code to implement a 'better' updates policy - e.g. I find the current update mechanism in Android Market a pain in the butt in that it tries to update apps 'too often'. E.g. you could let the 'phone user' pick a minimum update frequency which overrides those frenetic/frivolous updaters. We're looking at adding a time selector in addition to our the on/off switch we currently have in the AndAppStore client for background update checking.

Re: [android-developers] Go through the code ans suggest
Get the time when you show the m_ProgressDialog and then instead of
dismissing the m_ProgressDialog in your If statement calculate how
long it has been visible and post a delayed message to a handler so that
it will show for the time you want, and then raise your toast and start
your new activity from the handler after dismissing the Dialog.

[android-developers] Documentation bugs: Audio and Video basics
I was reading the documentation for recording audio and video (http:// developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html) and noticed a few problems: Video and image capture are not described even though MediaRecorder's documentation directs readers to this page for more information. Through other websites, I discovered that video capture is a fair bit more involved and has a number of gotchas compared to audio capture. For example, the internet seems to hold that for now a valid preview surface is counterintuitively required for video capture (http:// stackoverflow.com/questions/1032912/android-does-anyone-know-how-to- capture-video/1592917#1592917). It would be nice if these quirks were documented on this page. The code listed in the example is not correct (as of API version 7 -- I also checked some of these against the most recent API, but not all of them). - MediaStore.MediaColumns does not contain a TIMESTAMP field. (I think DATE_ADDED is what's actually there.) - MediaStore.Audio does not have an INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI field. - ContentResolver is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated. - ContentResolver does not have a getDataFilePath method. - MediaRecorder does not have a getMimeContentType method, or any other method that performs this function. - A comment in the example suggests that the preview display is optional, which according to all the information I referred to earlier it is not. This whole section of the docs could use a lot more detail. Maybe links to the android camera application source would also be helpful (http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/ Camera.git;a=blob;f=src/com/android/camera/ Camera.java;h=523df5f06ccd97314006bf655a86f453914cb86b;hb=master). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] GridView - setting selection to last item also loads first item
Greetings everyone, I'm developing application that shows thumbnails of images in gridview widget. I load html with image names, and set ImageAdapter. That image adapter loads single image (from internet or SD card) in AsyncTask with selected image position. After I initialy download html with image names, and parse them to array, I set selection of GridView to index of last image. But, what happens is this : first image that gets downloaded is image with index zero. That gives me a lot of trouble because i'm using convert views and AsyncTasks, so sometimes I end up with wrong picture at first column in last row (sometimes picture with index 0 gets in there), depending on which AsyncTask gets executed first. Even stranger, I end up with around 10 calls to getView for image with index 0. Does anyone have idea how to switch GridViews position to last image, and not have image with index 0 loading? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Static header in ListView
I have a ListView with several columns and I need a header row at the very top that labels each of these columns that *does not* scroll with the rest of the ListView. I am using addHeaderView right now, but I've ran into 2 problems: 1) The header scrolls. I need it outside of scrolling so that it's always floating on top. 2) Each column in the header isn't lining up with the columns in the listview. I can make the header columns and data columns all line up perfectly if they're all in one big TableLayout, but how would I get the header to be outside of the scrollview yet also stay uniform and inline with the data columns?

[android-developers] Re: GridView - setting selection to last item also loads first item
Use the convertView.setTag to set an identifier that your AsyncTask can recognize when the image has been loaded. Don't rely on the order in which the getView gets called (with respect to its 'position' parameter).

[android-developers] What is best method for an animation worker thread?
In solving another problem I had I have written a gallery style view
based on framelayout which supports fling, animated transitions,
adapters, etc. Ill post it up as an example soon. But for now im not
really sure I have used the best approach for running the animation
threads.
I decided to use my own animation thread rather than any standard
transitions because they didnt seem to repaint all the views correctly
during the animation (I am working in a framelayout and scrolling
three views about, ive seen a couple of other posts about the repaint
issue but no solutions).
Anyway, rightly or wrongly I used an AsyncTask. The bit I am worried
about is the Thread.sleep() call. Seems kinda the wrong way to go
about it to me. Here is the psuedo-code for what I am doing (ive
removed alot of junk not relevant to my question):
---
private class AnimationTask extends AsyncTaskLong, Long, Void
{
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Long... parameters)
{
try
{
//~ Figure out the x offset we are animating from and to
android.view.animation.Interpolator interpolater =
AnimationUtils.loadInterpolator(mContext,
android.R.anim.decelerate_interpolator);
// Step through interpolation animation points from 0.0
through to
1.0
for (Float point = 0.0f; point 1.0f
!isCancelled(); point +=
step)
{
Float interpolation =
interpolater.getInterpolation(point);
Float position = new Float(targetDistance) *
interpolation;
int offset = initialOffset +
position.intValue();
publishProgress(new Long(offset));
//~ Figure out the wait time based on elapsed
time since animation
began
if (waitTime 0)
{
Thread.sleep(waitTime, 0);
}
}
// Publish one final progress to cleanup any point
difference after
loop
publishProgress(new Long(targetOffset));
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
}
return null;
// TODO: The task never seems to die? But it seems that android
// will only keep a maximum of five of these threads before it
// recycles one of the old threads to service a new one???
}
@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Long... parameters)
{
int scrollOffset = parameters[0].intValue();
//~ Scroll the view to the offset
}
}
---
Oh yeah, there is also that whole thing about the AsyncThreads still
running after you exit. I havent figured that one out yet.
Any suggestions?

Hello, I have an app which uses 3 different spinners to allow users to choose from some options. I´ve added those spinners to my layout without editing most of it´s properties and this way it works for most of my users. Unfortunately most isn´t all and then some of them started complaining that the list of options is showing text in white with over a white background! I´d like to know if there´s a way (or a property) so I can force those spinners to show the options list using text in black.

[android-developers] Re: Spinners showing text in white with white background!
I ran into complaints from Motorola Backflip users about white on white spinners. My workaround was to give up on the svelte simple_spinner_items and use the big and beautiful simple_spinner_dropdown_items. // adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item); adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); On Jun 12, 8:36 pm, Gabriel Simões gsim...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I have an app which uses 3 different spinners to allow users to choose from some options.

[android-developers] Re: What is best method for an animation worker thread?
I changed the logic of the asyncTask to be based on time rather than
point position, at least now I dont have a sleep but it would probably
hammer the UI thread. But I guess thats what I want to get smooth
animation. Should this be in the beginners thread? Anyway here is the
new pseudo-code:
private class AnimationTask extends AsyncTaskLong, Long, Void
{
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Long... parameters)
{
//~ Figure out the x offset we are animating from and to
//~ Figure out the animation time
android.view.animation.Interpolator interpolater =
AnimationUtils.loadInterpolator(mContext,
android.R.anim.decelerate_interpolator);
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
int lastOffset = targetOffset;
while (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime animationTime
!
isCancelled())
{
Float point = new Float(System.currentTimeMillis() -
startTime) /
new Float(animationTime);
Float interpolation =
interpolater.getInterpolation(point);
Float position = new Float(targetDistance) *
interpolation;
int offset = initialOffset + position.intValue();
if (offset != lastOffset)
{
publishProgress(new Long(offset));
lastOffset = offset;
}
}
// Publish one final progress to cleanup any point difference
after
loop
publishProgress(new Long(targetOffset));
return null;
// TODO: The task never seems to die? But it seems that android
// will only keep a maximum of five of these threads before it
// recycles one of the old threads to service a new one
}
@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Long... parameters)
{
int scrollOffset = parameters[0].intValue();
//~ Scroll the view to the offset
}
}
Any further suggestions?
