[android-developers] adb devices cannot see Motorola
I used to develop on Motorola Droid when it was on Android 2.0 using Lenovo WIndows 7. I could list the device, launch app, debug, etc. Later I moved to Nexus One. I did all the same normal development activities. Now, when I want to switch back to Droid. adb does not see Droid which is connected through USB. I can see the SD Card through Explorer, if USB Debugging is not turned on. Once USB Debugging is turned on, adb cannot see the device. Nor the Eclipse DDMS. I tried installing the newest driver from Motorola, rebooted both the device and the laptop several times, killed adb server and restarted many times. Still the same issue. Can Motorola Droid and Nexus One drivers live together? Am I missing any steps? How do I uninstall Nexus One and reinstall it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: Easy and fast XML Parser?
DOM consumes memory and creates load of object (for big XML files), but DOM is easy to work with. SAX is event driven, but programming modell is awkward. There is pull XML parser in android though - like SAX but you are in control. But usually you like to have you objects out of XML - so you will need kind of databinding tool (unfortunately there is not one in android) XStream is easy to use, but not really small.

[android-developers] Approach to cache large amount of Textual and audio data in Android application
Hi: We are supposed to cache textual and audio data in our application until device is booted or maximum of two days, whichever happens earlier. To get a perspective on data to be cached, note that we are to store about 200 text headers containing around 10 fields, each of length 30 bytes and about 20 sound files each about a minute long. We are getting the textual data by parsing XMLs and then we keep them in ArrayLists. The sound files are directly written inside the app storage using File I/O (and not on SDcard or Apps Cache directory). This application is to be run on devices running Android 1.5 or later. I understand, and please correct me if I am wrong, that we can cache the files either on SDcard or inside the application or inside applications Cache directory. I have the following questions regarding how do we approach Caching? 1. Should we persist the textual data in applications SQLite database or should we use Java Serialization mechanism and persist the List objects(which constitute Serializable components) inside the application? 2. Where should we write the text data /sound files - inside application, cache or SD card? 3. Can all of these be saved to applications cache directory? How big can the cache directory grow? 4. Can we specify a time span to Android Runtime for which a cache is maintained? Or would we have to do this manually? Please help and advise.

[android-developers] Re: IP infringements on the Market
It doesn't matter if the patent could stand up in court or not. Defending would cost you thousands of dollars. And if you're an indie dev, you're pretty much defenseless. Patents (and especially software patents) have long lost their original purpose of protecting inventors and became a tool for destroying your competition (and preventing any to grow). Not to mention many cases of obvious blackmail. But back to the topic. If you're bothered by all the crap apps infringing copyrights of others, then why not send an email to IP holder (eg. Disney) to let them know about it? It's not that big of an effort and maybe it would work.

[android-developers] Re: Intercepting the Android phone dialer
Thank you very much for helping me out! Kinda got this to work. To intercept the call completely, you have to set the priority to -1 like this: intent-filter android:priority=-1 action android:name=android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL / category android:name=android.intent.category.DEFAULT / /intent-filter And also, you'll need to set the PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS permission: uses-permission android:name=android.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS / There's no way (that I know of) to test it in the emulator. I have to have a friend to install the app in his phone and test it out for me. It works for him, my app will intercept the phone number sent by the dialer and it'll never do the actual call. The problem is that my friend will NEVER make a call unless he uninstall my app. I want people to have an option to call using my app or the dialer itself. Right now, my app is a BroadcastReceiver class. So, it'll ALWAYS listen to the NEW_OUTGOING_CALL intent passively. I'm thinking about making my app a background service instead of a broadcast receiver, maybe that'll work? I believe that's how SipDroid does it. It's getting late now and I need to sleep. I'll probably have some time tomorrow or so to research more about it and I'll post my findings here if I find a correct way to do it.

Rather, I misread prachi's answer:( The correct description of what state it must be in is rather different: since setDataSource() IS what moves the MediaPlayer from the Idle to the Initialized state, you should not use create(), you should use prepared(), and in the order prachi said: setDataSource() first, and only after, even immediately after, call prepare().

[android-developers] Re: Android libraries
Thanks Xavier, I'm not sure that I was seeing a refresh problem. Repeated F5 refreshes, on both the library and app project had no effect. On the other hand, I did not have auto refresh set on that machine (I was working on two different machines and only set the option on one) so maybe there's some subtle difference between auto-refresh and F5. In any event, I've now set the global option. I'll let you know if the problem recurs. A related question, too: I'm stuck with a few warning messages in one of my library files. This is bad enough on it's own (my dev style is generally a zero warnings tolerated) but it's worse because Eclipse shows multiple copies of each warning; one for each open app that is using the library. Is there any way to educate Eclipse to treat all mentions of the library as the same? Re shipping in binary form... that's really a pity. It defeats one of the major reasons to use libraries. Any plans to fix this in the future? I'll reply to Mark's message in a moment. Perhaps some merge between Android libraries and his parcels would work well for everyone?

[android-developers] ProgressDialog: Progress indicator not centered if no title/text is passed as parameter
When calling progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this, null, null, true); usually the developers wants to only show the progress indication image, and usually would it expect to be centered within the window (at least from regular UI design point of view). However, the image is too far left, it seems that some padding/margin on the right hand side is still being calculated in for (optional) text on the right, although we're not passing any text as parameter. Screenshot: http://android.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=8651271940249741441name=progressIndicator.pngtoken=2d27341b454c113d649fed256b6cc6f9inline=1 I created a feature request for it at: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9697 So we don't need to create a custom dialog only in order to have the progress indicator being centered by default. The only way to achieve a progress dialog with just a progress indicator image centered in the middle now is by writing a custom dialog, which I now did. But is there any other way or parameter I might have overlooked that I could apply to the standard progress dialog?

[android-developers] Glitch in Eclipse SDK - Can't select Build Target
I believe I have found a glitch in the Eclipse Android SDK. I use my netbook for Android development and have noticed that when I try to create a new project, the Build Target section of the New Android Project dialog is unusable because of the small screen size. My netbook's screen resolution is 1366x768 and you can see what I mean in my screenshot here: http://imagebin.org/105099. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to go about getting this fixed? Eclipse + Android is impossible to use on my netbook because of this bug. (Because the Build target cannot be set, I cannot progress through the dialog to create the project). I'm limited to developing in geany and compiling manually for now. Thanks, Aaron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: LDAP connection error
Ah, that's it ! After deleting the http:// of the hostname i got a
connection.
Thank you very much :)
But, on to the next problem.
After connecting to the LDAP directory I want to login/bind a user to
it.
That's the code for the binding:
public boolean login(String name, String password) {
LDAPConnection connection = new LDAPConnection();
String dn = uid=+name+,OU=employe,OU=user,DC=xyz;
try {
connection.connect(dc1.xyz, 80);
connection.bind(dn, password);
return true;
} catch (LDAPException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
However I get following error:

It looks like when you're creating theLDAPconnection, you're
supplying a hostname of http://dc1.xyz; and a port of 80. A hostname
should simply be a resolvable name and not a URL (e.g., just
dc1.xyz). However, it also looks like you're supplying information
for a web server rather than a directory server. I would recommend
checking your code to ensure that you're actually trying to connect to
anLDAPserver and make sure that you just put in the hostname rather
than a URL.

But if after I press home, I use something like taskiller to clear tasks, then I launch app again, it still shows B, but onCreate() is called.

[android-developers] Re: custom cursor adapter
I got the solution. I was happening because cursor adapter should has _id
column in table it is using.
if we use Database(SQLite) in Android Applications, it is better to add a
column named _id to all tables to use CursorAdapter.
Or you need to write sql state select member_id as _id from member _table
where . to get Cursor.
You can find this matter at Android Developer
Sitehttp://developer.android.com/intl/ja/reference/android/widget/CursorAdapter.html
Adapter that exposes data from a Cursor to a ListView widget. The Cursor
must include a column named _id or this class will not work.

[android-developers] Using contacts (again)
Is it possible to create a generic android application that uses contacts (though a contentResolver) that will run on all android versions 1.5 ? I have backward compatibility issues where f.i. my HTC Hero which is upgraded to Android 2.1 is not able to use the People.CONTENT_URI even though this is meant to be deprecated - not unsupported! If I include the new API style ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI (with or without a check on the Build.SDK_VERSION to alternatively load the old style URI - similar to the Businesscard example - http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/BusinessCard/index.html) I would still have to set up Eclipse to use the Android 2.1 libraries. Would this application still run on an Android 1.5 device if I keep the minsdkversion in the manifest at 3? I would like to avoid having to branch my application, create 2 eclipse projects and release 2 different applications. Any advice on this?

[android-developers] Re: IP infringements on the Market
Dipu, For example I took a picture of a globe and edited the image and put it as an app icon. Strictly speaking that could be a problem unless the original globe image is available to you under some free license. I was in the exact same situation, wanting a globe image for one of my app icons. I purchased a license to use one (in this case the cheapest I could find was from graphicriver.net). I similarly purchase licenses for other images from stock image web sites, and they generally do not come cheap in comparison to the revenues generated from my apps. I have copied icons that come with the simulator and modified them and bundled with my app. I don't know about the legality of that but I doubt that google would bother about it. For my next game app I am getting tempted to put some Disney characters. Are these actions violating any laws? That would likely be a copyright violation. As I mentioned earlier, I asked Disney for permission to use Disney characters in my apps and they outright refused. So as far as I can tell, there is no way for small developers to legally use Disney content in their apps. These are my pet projects. I cannot afford to dig much into these concerns. It will be great if someone in this forum tell me some general guidelines. I completely understand that, I find that it takes substantial efforts to get these matters right. The only guideline I can offer is that unless you explicitly have a licence to use the graphics you want, you are likely to infringe on some copyright. That said, many developers don't seem to care and the risk doesn't seem to be great. The problem, in my view, is developers who consistently and very obviously violate copyrights, e.g. by basing an entire game on a Disney theme, and by doing so gain unfair competitive advantages.

[android-developers] Re: Android market hiding apps with bluetooth permissions from Android 1.5 and 1.6
Actually even though pre 2.0 devices don't support bluetooth fully - you can make your apps backward compatible. Which of course my apps are. It's a mistake by Google to now filter them from the market for 1.5 and 1.6 devices. The apps require the bluetooth permissions - they do not require the bluetooth feature. There is a difference. It seems now the requires feature option is being introduced into the manifest for 2.2 an assumption is being made that apps that require the permission also require the feature... So if your app happens to support some bluetooth function for users with android 2+ you have also just managed to loose 50% of users because they can no longer see your app. Btw this only happens for updated apps, if you already have an app on the market it will be ok until you update it.

[android-developers] Re: How can I find unneeded permission?
Actually, I can imagine two very common cases: 1) Code or even functionality is changed in an application, possibly in some minor way. The developer does not realize that he has removed the last SDK call using a permission. The permission lingers on in the manifest. It doesn't do much harm, but add minor bloat and maybe scares aways some users. 2) A developer adds a new feature, and does not realize that a permission is needed. Best case, he catches this immediately when testing, but still wastes time and annoyance on an extra compile/ deploy/test cycle. It seems that it would not be too hard to annotate the SDK and and a static permissions check to the build cycle. I can imagine pathological cases, but this should catch 99% of the problems.

[android-developers] Re: Easy and fast XML Parser?
The choice between SAX and DOM is partly one of simplicity vs speed/ compactness, and partly a matter of what sort of consumption model you have. If you're only going to scan through the XML once, and you know what data you want, and it's pretty well formed (you know precisely what order elements will be in, etc) then SAX is good. If you need to keep referring to the data, or you need to extract data from documents that may be a bit disordered (with elements in varying order, extraneous elements, etc) then DOM is a lot simpler. But, yes, DOM does take up a fair amount of storage -- no hard numbers but I'd guess easily 20-50 times the size of the XML file. On Jul 12, 6:51 pm, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.com wrote: SAX is faster than DOM. Easier too, if you don't mind viewing everything as event driven. Rumor has it there is something faster, but I am not convinced it is anything more than rumor. But do a Google search xml parser sax dom faster and see if you think Piccolo or NanoXML are worth checking out. I would stick with SAX though, until these newer ones have been reviewed and proven not to have major omissions and bugs. Besides: SAX and DOM are already in Android. If you choose one of the others, even Apache's Betwixt or Xerces, you will have to include it as an extra Jar in your build.

If you want to embed a Javascript interpreter, you can consider Rhino.

one.
Should I try to add them as the person scrolls down? Any other ways to

Re: [android-developers] Re: How can I find unneeded permission?
On Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 9:00 AM, deg d...@degel.com wrote: Actually, I can imagine two very common cases: 1) Code or even functionality is changed in an application, possibly in some minor way. The developer does not realize that he has removed the last SDK call using a permission. The permission lingers on in the manifest. It doesn't do much harm, but add minor bloat and maybe scares aways some users. I wouldn't call this common since if you're removing permissions you're likely removing features / functionality which relied on said permission, which is not very likely. 2) A developer adds a new feature, and does not realize that a permission is needed. Best case, he catches this immediately when testing, but still wastes time and annoyance on an extra compile/ deploy/test cycle. You answered your own question. If you're adding a new feature, I would hope you're testing it. Odds are you don't just do one compile / deploy test cycle for any feature you add, so one more to catch a permission you forgot to add, like any other programming error you catch while debugging, is negligible. You'd run into a permission required exception almost immediately while testing and you fix it right then and there. It seems that it would not be too hard to annotate the SDK and and a static permissions check to the build cycle. I really don't think the time it would take to make this happen is worth it versus how much time it would actually save. You seem to think it is, so you are welcome to grab the source code and modify it to make this happen.

Actually, for that case, you may as well just wrap it in a Runnable
and call runOnUiThread():
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// launch your dialog here
}
});
This will ensure that the code runs on the UI thread, regardless of
whether you are on the UI thread or not.

[android-developers] Can Android 2.X connect to 3G and Wifi data networks simultaneously?
We have an application where we'd like to use the Wifi connection on a local network (intranet) with no Internet connectivity, and use the 3G connection simultaneously as the data connection to the internet. To summarize: - We need to connect to two distinct networks at the same time - We need data traffic to be properly routed to the appropriate network based on its IP address - We need both radios (Wifi and 3G) on and active This can easily be done on the iPhone, but not sure if it can be done on the Android.

Hi Brad,
What is the data source to your spinner? Or that is not necessary? I
guess because
I cannot see what is before this code segment I was curious how you
use that.
Also, I am not familiar with the AndroidBridge() - is that part of the
standard API?

Yes, you can read pages stored on the phone:
I'm using index.html here. Put it into your assets folder :

spinnerView.findViewById(R.id.spinnerviewwebview);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.addJavascriptInterface(new AndroidBridge(), android);
webView.setVerticalScrollBarEnabled(false);
webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient()

You can use WebView, but only from an Activity.
If you want to embed a Javascript interpreter, you can consider Rhino.

you want to start activity from a service rite
So you can just do this.
Intent intent = new Intent(*Your Service Class Name.this*, *Activity You
Want to Go.class*);
startActivity(intent);
MAke sure you have added the activity in your Manifest.
