[android-developers] Re: Map API KEY
Hi ENSI, No need to open debug.keystore.

[android-developers] Design Question
I have an app that posts a status and a location to a php script. Currently It is all performed with 2 classes. One is the main screen where you can put the status in and click a submit button, the second is a class that implements the LocationListener and keeps the location up to date and handles change events to the location. When you click submit the application hangs while it send the status and location to the PHP page, admitedly it doesn't hang long but i realise this is not the correct way to do it so i was wondering what the best practice is for performing background tasks that return results in Android is?

[android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?
Hi Mark. Thanks for your answer. I share your point of view completely. From my experience an always on (Pattern, Pin or Password) is something many people do not like... so they deactivate it completely. The idea of my App was to help people to find a good compromise between security and usability. I already reviewed the DeviceAdmin class of Froyo as the SDK for 2.2 was released. From my point of view it is the perfect location to implement an interface that allows the temporary deactivation of the locks (no matter if pattern, pin or password). My fear was, that I was missing something and there is still a way to satisfy my users even if they are using Froyo. An alternative to the DeviceAdmin would be collection of additional settings in the related system settings section that give the users a delay/timeout in Android natively (like some WinMobile devices are doing it). That would make App's like my PatternControl needless. What is your advice to make the development team at least aware was this potential improvement?

If the user wants a lock pattern, apps should not change that. If the user does not want a lock pattern, the user is perfectly capable of disabling it using the Settings application. The exception would be if an enterprise would want to mandate the lock screen be on and not disable-able, which runs counter to your apparent goals. My hope is that eventually stuff like this and custom lock screens will become part of the new device admin APIs. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Help with dialog sizing in stock vs. Sense UI

What happens is that the rightmost button on the bottom of the dialog is cut off and wraps to two lines in the middle of the word. Has anyone seen this issue or has any ideas on fixing it?

[android-developers] Re: Issue using protocol buffer in Android
I got it resolved
Below is the solution
The problem came because of the way the way bytes were extracted from
the payload after building.
This was the earlier code which caused the problem.
ByteArrayOutputStream result = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
payload.build().writeTo(result);
return result.toString().toBytes();
In this the payload once the payload is built it is being written to a
bytearray stream and then converted to a string and then is converted
to bytearray which is causing the problem because it is inserting some
invalid invariant into the byte array.
instead of which the payload class provides a convenient method
toByteArray() which have to be used.
changed the above code to
p = payload.build(); //p is a payload object.
return p.toByteArray();

[android-developers] Re: Android libraries
Thanks. It would be great if you could publish a roadmap of how the library feature will look in the future. For example, it would be great if library project could depend on another library project. (Yes, I know I can use an external jar instead. I'm doing that now, but the experience is not as smooth as I'd like). Also, per my original message, above, I sometimes see cases where an .apk compiles without errors but does not include the library classes. David On Jun 23, 8:03 pm, Xavier Ducrohet x...@android.com wrote: That's correct. At the moment the manifest of the library is only used to compile the resource of the library and figure out its package name, so it doesn't need to contain permissions, activities, services, etc... used by the library. However, all projects using the library must include those in their own manifest. In the future (hopefully not too distant) we'll be able to merge the content of the library manifest so that you don't have to do it manually for all projects using the library.

[android-developers] AutoCompleteTextView DropDown leaves ghost elements in View / IME area
When typing in an AutoCompleteTextView, when the list shrinks because the number of matches goes down, the DropDown leaves several ghost elements on the screen. This only seems to happen when an IME is visible, and visually, it appears to be limited to the area that shows the autocomplete suggestions for the input method, so quite possibly it's happening in what is part of the IME's layout. This occurs in 2.0.1, 2.1 and 2.2 emulators, and most likely on devices as well (confirmed at least on Milestone running 2.1- upgrade1). It _does not_ seem to happen in an 1.6 emulator. I've posted a bug report here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9304 (with screenshot) For now I'm desperate to find a workaround, I can't push this feature in my app in its current condition. One idea I thought of is to force the IME to refresh its View, however, I have no idea how to access that from my code (if it's at all possible). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] OpenGL draws nothing when projection matrix is set to identity
I have an OpenGL app that manipulates it's geometry in screen space to acheive some effects, and therefore bypasses OpenGL's matrices by setting modelview and projection to identity.

If I load the app's projection matrix into GL's matrix, and multiply it's inverse with the final geometry prior to drawing, then it displays correctly. App is native and OpenGL is 1.x if it matters.

Launch A from B. (re-starts A because A has SINGLEINSTANCE launchmode) 4. Launch C from A. (oncreate of C is called) 5. Launch A from C. (re-starts A because A has SINGLEINSTANCE launchmode) 6. Launch B from A again. From step 6 above, instance of B is NOT CREATED instead task containing activity B C comes in foreground, with last state of C (from step4) displayed. (because C was on top of this task). Similar behavior is documented in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html link. If it does, it is not in position to handle the intent, and the intent is dropped. (Even though the intent is dropped, its arrival would have caused the task to come to the foreground, where it would remain.) Q1) Why new instance of B is not created even though B has standard launch mode and also not top of destination task? Now if I change the implementation as below: Activity A has STANDARD and B has SINGLEINSTANCE launch mode. Repeat same steps again: 1. Start A from launcher 2. Launch B from A. (oncreate of B is called) 3. Launch A from B. (a new instance of A is created, in the same task in which A's instance was created in step 1. Now stack is A - A) 4. Launch B from A re-starts B. 5. Launch A from B. (a new instance of A is created, in the same task in which A's instance was created in step 1. Now stack is A - A - A) Executing step 4 5 repeatedly, creates multiple instances of A. Q2) Step 3 5, B creates an intent to start A with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK. Why new instance of A is created in same task in which A was launched from launcher?

It is for very special situations, and has significant repercussions on UI flow that you need to understand before touching it. The key point about this is this statement in Launch modes http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#lmodes http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#lmodes*Whether the instance can have other activities in its task*. A singleInstance activity stands alone as the only activity in its task. If it starts another activity, that activity will be launched into a different task regardless of its launch mode — as if FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK was in the intent. In all other respects, the singleInstance mode is identical to singleTask. This means that when you launch B, it is the root of its own new task. When you launch B again, the task for it already exists, then the current task will be brought to the foreground instead of starting a new instance. You have effectively turned yourself into a launcher, so get the behavior expected for a launcher.

[android-developers] Re: ItemizedOverlay using both onTap methods
On Jun 15, 9:15 am, tfriest tfri...@kc.rr.com wrote:
Does anyone know of a better way to do this?
As you've seen, the maps documentation is pretty pathetic. What I know
of the onTap functions has been gleamed from trial and error and
experimentation. This is how I believe it works:
onTap(int) determines whether the item at the specified index will
handle tap events at all. If you return false, the other onTap
function will always return false.
onTap(Point, MapView) determines whether an item in the overlay was
tapped given the touch point, if onTap(int) return true for it's
index.
OK, with that, what you can do is:
return true for onTap(int) always.
in onTap(Point, MapView) call through to the base implementation to
determine if something was tapped. And that's it.
public boolean onTap(point, mapview)
{
boolean tapped = super.onTap(point, mapView);
if (tapped)
showInfo();
else
dropNewItem(point);
return true; // irrelevant if you only have one itemized overlay

Re: [android-developers] Re: help on singleinstance launchmode
So far as I have explained what you say you are seeing is consistent with the intended behavior, and how I believe it is documented. You need to read through all of the documentation on launch modes, tasks, taskAffinities, and activity stacks. The singleInstance mode imposes constraints on the activity that you can't understand without understanding these other things. As I said, it means any activity you launch outside of the single instance activity will be launched as if you are using NEW_TASK.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Any chance to deactivate the lock pattern in Froyo from code?
Hi, The DeviceAdmin API is not going to contain this kind of functionality. That API is for apps to specify security limits they have; disabling the lock screen is not a security limit, but a removal. The admin API is carefully designed so that any constraints one admin specifies can not conflict with those of another; this is a situation we want to maintain, since otherwise there would need to be some way to decide which one wins (probably requiring the user to specify this), along with a way for an admin to find out when its requests are losing so it can deal with that. Also typically an admin is there imposing requirements from a server, so if it can't impose those requirements it needs to stop pulling data from the service and erase any data it has from the service. Having that kind of thing happen at regularly times do to temporary conflicts with another admin would be fairly undesirable. The new device admin APIs also drove the changes to the lock screen interaction. For those APIs to work, we can't have a setting for someone else to disable the lock screen (and we had to change those settings anyway as the lock screen got more complicated in Froyo). For this reason the keyguard API to temporarily hide the keyguard no long does anything if there is any admin that is requiring a lock screen. We would certainly at some point like to support third party lock screens. However: (1) For the last two years this has been a low priority compared to many other things, and I can't say when that will change. Certainly not this year. (2) It will require some major refactoring of the current code, since the lock screen has very deep interactions with the window manager, power manager, telephony, etc. (3) A reasonable API will probably involve allowing an app to control the contents of the lock screen, but not when it is enabled, shown, etc (because those things require deep interactions with the rest of the system and so far have changed in every single update we have done). (4) If a device admin has imposed requirements on the lock screen, we would not be able to allow a third party lock screen because we have no way of trusting that it will impose the requirements that are being requested.

From my experience an always on (Pattern, Pin or Password) is something many people do not like... so they deactivate it completely. The idea of my App was to help people to find a good compromise between security and usability. I already reviewed the DeviceAdmin class of Froyo as the SDK for 2.2 was released. From my point of view it is the perfect location to implement an interface that allows the temporary deactivation of the locks (no matter if pattern, pin or password). My fear was, that I was missing something and there is still a way to satisfy my users even if they are using Froyo. An alternative to the DeviceAdmin would be collection of additional settings in the related system settings section that give the users a delay/timeout in Android natively (like some WinMobile devices are doing it). That would make App's like my PatternControl needless. What is your advice to make the development team at least aware was this potential improvement?

No, there is no way to deactivate the lock pattern that I am aware of. No opinion? My opinion is that deactivating the lock pattern via a regular setting was a security hole. If the user wants a lock pattern, apps should not change that. If the user does not want a lock pattern, the user is perfectly capable of disabling it using the Settings application. The exception would be if an enterprise would want to mandate the lock screen be on and not disable-able, which runs counter to your apparent goals. My hope is that eventually stuff like this and custom lock screens will become part of the new device admin APIs. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com| http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.6 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: ItemizedOverlay using both onTap methods

Does anyone know of a better way to do this?
As you've seen, the maps documentation is pretty pathetic. What I know
of the onTap functions has been gleamed from trial and error and
experimentation. This is how I believe it works:
onTap(int) determines whether the item at the specified index will
handle tap events at all. If you return false, the other onTap
function will always return false.
onTap(Point, MapView) determines whether an item in the overlay was
tapped given the touch point, if onTap(int) return true for it's
index.
OK, with that, what you can do is:
return true for onTap(int) always.
in onTap(Point, MapView) call through to the base implementation to
determine if something was tapped. And that's it.
public boolean onTap(point, mapview)
{
boolean tapped = super.onTap(point, mapView);
if (tapped)
showInfo();
else
dropNewItem(point);
return true; // irrelevant if you only have one itemized overlay
}
Hope that helps.

I don't really agree with this.
I use onTap(int) to detect if an overlayItem was clicked. And use
onTap(point, mapview) to handle every other click on the map. I use the
first to show a ballow, and the second to hide it.

You can add a receiver for PACKAGE_REPLACED
receiver android:name=.OnPackageChangeStarter
intent-filter
action
android:name=android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED /
!-- This doesn't work
data android:scheme=package
android:path=your.package.name /
--
/intent-filter
/receiver
and in the OnPackageChangeStarter, add an if
if(!
intent.getDataString().startsWith(package:your.package.name)){
return;
}
At least on 2.1 Droid, the intent.getData().getPath() portion of
the intent is null, so the intent-filter doesn't seem to work.
Including it gets my receiver called for every package change.
The package name is in the intent.getData().getSchemeSpecificPart()
Anyone know if this is a bug? Or is this the right way to accomplish this?
