The biggest problem with this is that the user it not notified and so probably 95% of the time will not see the response.

[android-developers] Problem with Quick Search Box: ContentProvider with a custom non-sqlite datasource
Hi, I've been trying to implement a quick search feature to my app Thinking Space this weekend without much success.. I've created a searchable.xml, modified the app's manifest, and created a 'dummy' content provider. My app doesn't use SQLite for data, as the searchable objects are MindMaps that are stored in XML files on the SDCard, so my trouble is with trying to get the Quick Search system to use my dummy content provider. My initial goal is just to have the opened map searchable, with the user's search queries being performed in code against the Java object model of the currently opened MindMap. The problem is, that when the using the Quick Search Box, I can see the search query string arrive at my dummy content provider's query() method, but the main Activity doesn't get it's onCreate() called with a search intent; I suspect that this is because the dummy contentprovider returns Null for the cursor in the query() method, and then the SearchManager assumes there are no results to bother the activity with. Has anyone else had success in utilising the Quick Search Functionality with non-SQLite datastores? Or should I abandon trying to use the Quick Search functionality like this, and implement my own method of doing it? Any help appreciated!

You can set the package name and class name of the activity you want to start like this: Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); intent.setClassName(packageName, className); An example for the package and class name might be: packageName = com.android.alarmclock; className = com.android.alarmclock.AlarmClock; This intent would be used then to start the stock android clock (if it's present on the device).

[android-developers] SoundPool queries
Hi there, I have been finishing off the port of one of my games to Android, with the last two things being music and sound effects. I have implemented the music system now, using a series of MediaPlayer instances, and that all seems to be working fine (I only need to do limited things with music, just playing, pausing and stopping really). I am now trying to finish of the sound effects, but I am struggling. 1. I am targeting Android 1.6+ and therefore do not have access to the setOnLoadCompleteListener function. What is my best way to wait until all sound effects are loaded? I am thinking my best bet is to load all my sounds, then load a dummy (short, silent) sound, and then sit in a loop attempting to play that sound (and then sleeping for 1ms) until the play returns non zero. Does this sound reasonable? Would it be crazy to do this process for every sound effect I load, as the calling code expects the load function to stall as long as it takes for the load to complete - I am not interested in the sound pool trying to do any async stuff for me, all of my background loading is done in a separate thread, and this thread can stall as long as it likes, as long as it actually loads what I am asking it to. 2. Is there anyway I can find out when a sound effect has finished playing? The games I am porting might have code along the lines of 'play sound effect, wait for it to complete, then fade the screen out and load next context' which on other platforms is easy enough to implement. In OpenAL for example, at the end of each frame I check if the OpenAL state for a given SFX is now stopped, in which case I update the game side sound handle to let it know it's now in the stopped state. But I just can't seem to find a way to achieve the same thing on Android. I am beginning to think my only option would be to (somehow) work out the length of the sample, and then when play is called, set a timer to trigger 100ms after the sample time (100ms to account for any delay in the sound starting), and in the timer function set the game side sfx state to be stopped. Does this sound reasonable? Are there any better ways of handling this? 3. Will a sound pool run out of ids? It seems it have been designed so you have one sound pool per 'level' and after each level you release the pool. This doesn't really fit too well with all my code so I am trying to avoid it. But I notice the documentation states a lot of functions will work even after a sound id is no longer valid (it has stopped for example), the functions won't do anything, but they want break anything. This to me says that id's are never recycled. So are there limits? If so what are the limits? 4. Finally, are there any plans for improving the sound pool system? Ideally I'd like to see it work in a similar way to the other main sound APIs. The reason being I target multiple platforms on the engine side, and have 100% generic game code, so I need to establish a base level interface to the API which will work across the board. This is made very difficult by the SoundPool API being set up to work in a specific way, as opposed to just having reasonable low level functions, and allowing the end user to wrap this up how they see fit. I like the fact there are high level classes around to handle this work of work, and I agree these should remain, but I'd like to see something perhaps lower level exposed, which the SoundPool could wrap around perhaps.

[android-developers] Re: Request for test of a game on an Evo
Works as you intended on my Evo here. I can see how some users might be confused, though. The control scheme you've chosen sometimes results in the user tapping the left side of the screen and the car turning away from their finger, not always towards it. So if the user is expecting the car to sort of go where they are touching, they could get confused. It's not like there are any buttons on the screen, with say a circular arrow indicating what direction the car would turn, so someone who skipped the tutorial might just assume, given a blank map, that it is a touch to move to location sort of interface, which is more common. Similarly, sometimes the car is facing down. So a user might tap the left side of the screen and expect the car to turn towards the left side of the screen, but it won't. The user's left and car's left are different directions then. Ask a person, look to your left, and they will make much fewer mistakes than if you ask them, look to my left. I remember reading something from someone who worked as a cashier who duly noted a similar issue with customers often just mistaking their orientation for the cashier's when talked to. Lastly, analog clocks are less common nowadays and the Market has users who are not native speakers besides. Would a non-native speaker understand to the car's left better than anti-clockwise?

[android-developers] Re: Application state being lost
I've seen this happen when someone was forgetting to call superclass methods. If you override onSaveInstanceState, for example, you have to call super.onSaveInstanceState if you still want the default behavior of saving the state of all view's with an ID. There's a similar method in buttons and the like for handling state changes than can be overridden, but then if you don't call the super method the default state changes get ignored, etc..

[android-developers] Re: Request for test of a game on an Evo
Thanks Lance, that's appreciated. I've had a few people tell me they're confused by the control scheme, which surprised me slightly due to it being the standard one for top- down racing games - e.g Super Sprint, Super Off Road, Micro Machines. But I guess I'm just getting old and the youngsters these days aren't familiar with those classics :). I'm adding an easy mode where the car goes slower, so hopefully that will help. And I might try adding the top edge of a steering wheel at the bottom of the screen, to see how that works.

Your data model is not part of your instance state. If you are trying to deal with orientation changes, return your RestaurantList in onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() and get it back in onCreate() via getLastNonConfigurationInstance(). Otherwise (or perhaps even if orientation is your issue), move that data out of the activity into a database, or in a pinch a Java object mediated by a service (so it will stick around despite activities coming and going). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 2.2 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Resource Alias not resolving
Hi Dianne, I wish I could share with you my source so you can see why its necessary. I've already tried various methods before settling on the solution I have now. My app now displays its custom graphics on the G1, Droid, and Dell Streak's specs on the emulator. My app is a utility that uses rendered graphics to make the app look nice. I have imagery that is 320x480 for use on mdpi devices, and imagery at 480x720 for use on hdpi and large devices. My goal was to create graphics that would not require resizing for the majority of high res devices. The Dell Streak being a high res device should have used the 480x720 imagery, but instead used the images in the 'drawable- mdpi'. It was only after I created a 'drawable-large' folder with a duplicate set of 480x720 images that the Dell Streak would finally use them. I could have worked it out so that the Streak would use the graphics in the mdpi folder and just scaled them up to fill the screen, but that would have been a bad solution for people capable of displaying high resolutions. I also tried creating a 'drawable-hdpi-large' folder, but it wouldn't work for some reason. I hope this makes sense and helps explain the issue I was having. I found that the resource aliasing only works from a 'drawable' folder. I've copied all my high res images into that folder and I have references in my 'drawable-hdpi' and 'drawable-large' folder. I believe it is a shortcoming of the way Android is designed where I can't run the alias's from anything other than the 'drawable' folder. I understand the difference between screen sizes and dpi', I'm just trying to find a simple way to make a device utilize graphics that its capable of supporting. Thanks, Stephen On Jul 2, 5:33 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Why do you want to do this? The Streak's screen is really what it reports -- mdpi density, but more space. If you use hdpi graphics, then your graphics will appear incorrectly large on the screen. You should layout your UI to use the extra space, not blow it up larger. The main time I can think where it would be okay to just use larger graphics is a game, where having everything blow up bigger is not so noticeable. In that case, you should maybe just go down the path of picking the graphics you want to use explicitly based on the raw space you have to work with. Before going down that road, though, you should probably stop and consider what it really means to be manually adjusting for whatever the screen is.

[android-developers] Re: How to set the default download files location
Files downloaded from browser by default they are stored under sdcard/ downloads folder.. 1) Is it possible to create the .pdf files using client program in android device and how to write the .pdf file content from server into the local files 2) is it the better way to store any pdf files into the device's internal memory if the internal memory is high???

Handle the download yourself, and you can store it wherever you can write to. If you use the Browser for the download, it will download where the Browser wants to, not where you want it to. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy)http://commonsware.com|http://github.com/commonsguyhttp://commonsware.com/blog|http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office:http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Problem with JNI - using Multiple Native Methods in a library
Hi,
While using the NDK, I came across a very peculiar problem...
Let's take case of the simple hello-jni sample.
It has one method called stringFromJNI which works wonderfully.
I add another method called stringFromMyJNI and it doesn't work.
I then did some research and found something very peculiar... If I
have more than one method, only first method is actually exported in
the shared-object.
So, I thought about naming it to something like registerNatives and
ensure that it is called.
And it does get called. But still unable to invoke any method.
The code is given below...
Thanks in advance!
