[android-developers] Re: Choosing background for Live Wallpaper.

2010-09-10 Thread Pent

 What I would like is
 for the user to be able to press a button in the Settings menu, have
 the list of options show up just like setting the wallpaper from the
 home screen, minus the Live Wallpapers options.  Once the user
 navigates the choices and picks an actually image I would load it to
 my canvas.

I would also like to be able to get a list of the static built-in
wallpapers but
I don't think it's possible ATM. I had a look at the source a while
ago
and the selection was all hardcoded, there was no PICK intent.

 I've been able to come up with a list of wallpaper providers using
 Intents.  I then get a list of live wallpaper providers also using
 Intents and remove those from my first list.  

Which intents did you use for that ?

Thanks,

Pent

Re: [android-developers] Widget Layout Help Please


 If your widget is too large, check these:

- Android UI guidelines has standard widget sizes, as well as shows the 
grid on which widgets are laid out:


http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html#sizes

- Check your appwidget-provider XML file (usually 
res/xml/widget_info.xml), specifically, android:minWidth and 
android:minHeight. I use 70dp and 72dp for these, but my widgets are a 
little larger than the standard ones (trying to match HTC Sense), 
although they still fit the standard grid.


- Check the widget's layout file, specifically, its width and height. If 
necessary, specify explicit width and height to match the 
appwidget-provider and a solid background color to see which elements 
of your widget layout do not fit.

Home screen Widgets are laid out on a grid, so no matter how
compact you make your layout, it won't get any closer to other
widgets.

Also, you should not be using pixel dimensions in the layout - use
device-independent do units.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make a widget to show on the home screen(s). My

is lets say I set my icon to 30x30 when I load the widget on the
screen the Icon is the correct size BUT the layout itself takes up a
lot more space than what is actually needed. This means that I can't
really place my widget next to other icons on the screen. Its
like the
bounding box is 3 times bigger than the content that fills it. How do
I fix this? Here is my XML

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
RelativeLayout xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android
   android:id=@+id/widget
   android:layout_width=30px
   android:layout_height=30px
   android:focusable=true


ImageView android:id=@+id/widgWeatherIcon
   android:layout_width=30px
   android:layout_height=30px
   android:src=@drawable/asdf_widgettester



/ImageView
TextView android:id=@+id/widgCurrTemp
   android:layout_width=wrap_content
   android:layout_height=wrap_content
   android:text=100
   android:layout_below=@id/widgWeatherIcon
/TextView
/RelativeLayout


I have tried wrap_content and other width/height settings but nothing
seems to reduce the Box around my widget content. Im super
confused. I clicked on my ATK widget and started to drag it around on
my HTC Aria and it shows the bounding box around the widget and that
one is the same size of the content inside same with all the other
widgets on my screens.

Thanks so much for the help and advice!

Re: [android-developers] Re: Adding checkboxes to a LinearLayout

That's why I was suggesting RelativeLayout. With it, some items can be
pushed to the bottom, while others positioned in other ways.

Your suggestion for nested LinearLayout would work, too. It's just that
I really like using RelativeLayout (I think it's really nice, once you
get the hang of it). But yes, there are many ways to skin this cat.

A key point, perhaps, is this: the OP wants to do this from code, and
for that, the LayoutParams class that needs to match the the enclosing
layout of the view that's being created.

So when adding views to a LinearLayout, use LinearLayout.LayoutParams.
When adding to a RelativeLayout, use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams, and so on.

Ah, I missed that part.

Actually, I suspect that android:gravity=bottom on the LinearLayout

Yes, use Channel.transferTo() to send data to the network (this requires
that you use NIO).

With this, I am able to send about 8 Mbit / seconds on a Motorola

[android-developers] AsyncTask doesn't run sometimes despite state returning RUNNING?

2010-09-10 Thread draf...@gmail.com

In my application I use an AsyncTask on start up of my Activity to
fetch the ringtone of a particular contact.

It works normally but I have noticed that if the application is
stopped twice before the AsyncTask gets to the doInBackground method
then when the Activity starts again the AsyncTask fails to run
properly, only getting to the onPreExecute() method.

Here is my code:

The AsyncTask itself:

---

private class SelectRingtoneTask extends AsyncTaskString, Void,
Void {

  // can use UI thread here
  protected void onPreExecute() {
  Log.d(cda, Into selectRingToneTask - 
onPreExecute() -  +
selectRingtoneFinished);
  }

  // automatically done on worker thread (separate from UI
thread)
  protected Void doInBackground(final String... args) {
  Log.d(cda, Into selectRingToneTask - 
!!!);
 getRingTone();
 return null;
  }

  // can use UI thread here
  protected void onPostExecute(final Void unused) {
   selectRingtoneFinished = true;
   Log.d(cda, Into selectRingToneTask - onPostExecute - 
 +
selectRingtoneFinished);
  }
   }

---

Where I call the AsyncTask on start up:

---

if(srtt == null){
srtt = new SelectRingtoneTask();
Log.d(cda, RingTone -  + srtt.getStatus());
}
srtt.execute();

---

The problem occur's when I start the activity and close the Activity
before the AsyncTask finishes, if this happens once, it seems to be
fine but after it happens a second time the AsyncTask will only ever
get to the onPreExecute() method and will never complete again until
the application is force stopped and restarted.

Has anybody got any idea why this would be happening?

Re: [android-developers] AsyncTask doesn't run sometimes despite state returning RUNNING?

2010-09-10 Thread Shawn Brown

Has anybody got any idea why this would be happening?

Well... from
http://brainflush.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/introducing-droid-fu-for-android-betteractivity-betterservice-and-betterasynctask/

So the basic idea is: launch an AsyncTask making your service call,
show a nifty progress dialog while the task thread is running, and
have the task’s result be posted back to your activity once it
completes. Cool, but what if the user decides to rotate the screen
while your task is running? Or a phone call comes in, interrupting
your app, and Android decides to kill it? Both these actions will
effectively terminateyour activity, and recreate it when resuming
(yes, a screen rotation kills your activity, very clever, isn’t it?).
Unfortunately, any AsyncTask that was still running now holds a stale
reference to your activity, because the restarted activity will be an
entirely different object in memory (and it will go through
onCreate(), as if the activity had started for the first time). I’m
not entirely sure whether AsyncTask will actually post back the data
to the old activity object (if it was a weak reference, it may already
have been garbage collected), but in any case, your “new” activity
will never see it, because it’s a different instance.

Now, one could argue: well, just do all the work again, like, re-send
the request or whatever job was running. Yes, you could do that. But
that’s wasteful and, really, makes you feel stupid, no? Plus, if the
user triggers a web service request, then flips the screen, decides
that this wasn’t helpful, and flips it back, then your request is
being sent 3 times in parallel. Is that what you want? Probably not.

BetterAsyncTask to the Rescue

Thanks to Droid-Fu, there’s a solution to this: BetterAsyncTask! (I’m
a lazy person, and I couldn’t come up with a better name). It behaves
exactly like AsyncTask (in fact, it is an AsyncTask), but it does some
extra work for you: first and foremost, it keeps track of the active
instance of the context that launched it, and if that instance should
change, it will post the data back to the new instance. In other
words, you can dispatch your task, flip the screen back and forth
mentally, and BetterAsyncTask will still post the task’s result back
to whatever activity instance is alive at the time it finishes. In
other words, the task is only ever run once, regardless whether the
context in which it was launched died while it was running or not.

 Actually, I suspect that android:gravity=bottom on the LinearLayout
 may suffice to have the buttons be at the bottom.

I think you have to use layout_gravity, as only TextFields support
android:gravity.  You also have to use wrap_content for the
LinearLayout's height and pray that its parent will honor
layout_gravity, which it may or may not.

You could probably move the async task to a service, and broadcast all
your stuff when you finish.
If your activity listens for the broadcast, it won't matter if the
activity itself started the service, or if it was started by another
activity (of the same kind).

Re: [android-developers] Re: Know if my Alarm is active

Setting an alarm cancels any previous alarms set with the same pending
intent, where same has a certain definition.

This means that it's OK to set your alarm if it's already set - this will
not result in extraneous events.

For initializing the alarm in the first place, implement a broadcast
receiver for BOOT_COMPLETED.

2010-09-10 Thread Albert

Thanks for your reply.

I have all that set up. The thing is that if an user kills my app/
service with a task killer app, then my alarm would go away.

I would like to be able to do a check about whether I have a alarm
ready to go off at some point in the future. I do not want to re-set
the alarm if I know that one is already in place.

Something like:
AlarmManager mgr
=(AlarmManager)context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
if (mgr(with my pending intent).isActive()) {
//all is good
}

Thanks,

Alberto

Re: [android-developers] Re: Know if my Alarm is active

2010/9/10 Albert albert8...@googlemail.com:
 I have all that set up. The thing is that if an user kills my app/
 service with a task killer app, then my alarm would go away.

If they did that, then they do not want your alarm. And, starting with
Android 2.2, they can't do this anyway.

Hence, I would not worry much about it. Keep a log of work you do in
the alarm handler, and if the user starts your activity and you
determine, via the log, that your alarm had been stopped, restart it
and perhaps pop a dialog to tell the user the ramifications of them
having attacked you with a task killer.

 I would like to be able to do a check about whether I have a alarm
 ready to go off at some point in the future.

Sorry, there's no API for that.

Have you had any luck at all?

Thanks!

Yes I noticed that it doesn't happen in 2.2, users can easily switch
the alarm off by going to the app settings and unchecking the
notifications.

You can't run adb install or adb uninstall from your Android application.

You can trigger the install process of an APK by calling
startActivity() an ACTION_VIEW (?) Intent, with a Uri pointing to your
APK file and the appropriate MIME type. This will give the user much
the same experience as if they had downloaded the app off the Web --
it will prompt them to validate the permissions, then will install the
app.

  @TrekIng - thanks for your professional opinion.

 This is most definitely NOT professional opinion. I'm just telling you how
 posts with urgent in the title are usually perceived on forums like this
 where people ask for technical help. Most of the people on this group are
 working individually on projects as a hobby - the level of urgency of
 solving any given problem presented here, in the grand scheme of things, is
 incredibly low.

 However important this problem is for you to solve, it frankly means nothing
 to the rest of us and adding urgent is not going to make us drop
 everything to try to help. At best it adds nothing to the discussion about
 the problem you're having and at worst it makes you seem impatient and
 actually discourages people from helping you.

 Believe it or not, I'm actually trying to help you. I really think you would
 be best served, now and in the future, with not adding urgent to your
 post. It usually hurts more than it helps - that's what I'm trying to get
 at.

  You have admitted that you have not used monkey yet you make the claim that
  having trouble with it is not urgent.

 Correct. I don't need to use the tool to determine this. Even if you never
 solve your problem, the world will keep spinning and life will go on. You
 claim this is urgent but you've still not explained what the severe
 consequences of this not being solved will be, besides there being
 important work depending on it - which is completely subjective to you.

  Did you base this on your previous monkey experience?

 Where did I claim to have monkey experience? I'm pretty sure I clearly
 stated I had not used Monkey. Or was that sarcasm?

Please stop ranting. It was pretty clearly said by others but maybe
some needs in simplier words - nobody cares your urgency. It's
you who have deadline, not us. Flagging urgent, answer now
and reposting withing next hours with nobody? or so usually annoys
people (I simply delete such post without even bothering its content).
If that's what you want, then keep going that way. BTW: if it's so urgent
for one's business then s/he shall *hire* someone to help urgently. If s/he
want free help, it's recommended to follow common rules here and wait
kindly in the line.

[android-developers] Content Providers implementation and closing of DB

2010-09-10 Thread Arpit

I am extending the ContentProvider class and writing content provider
for my app. Some what similar to the tutorial given here http://goo.gl/91WV

What I want to know is, we create a ReadableDatabase or
WriteableDatabase instance in the overridden query method which
returns a cursor.

Now from the android documentation it states that the Database create
is cached when called getReadableDatabase or getWriteableDatabase  on
a SQLiteDatabase instance but it should be closed also.

Now in the query method of ContentProvider extended class, I get the
cursor and that is returned. If I close the DB instance my cursor is
also closed, so if I had fetched some data it vanishes. I can't close
the cursor object also (don't know whether such thing is possible).

So how is the SQLiteDatabase instance is closed finally in such a
design? Can it become problem if I have frequent db queries... like 10
calls per min...?

Please guide me if I have misunderstood the concept somehow?

Regards,
Arpit

[android-developers] Re: AsyncTask doesn't run sometimes despite state returning RUNNING?

One way I would try is to bind your activity to the service and give
the service a callback to be called when you asynctask has finished
its dirty job. (I've never done this, but it may work).
You can provide your ringtone object as argument of the callback.

No. Please don't twist my words - read what I posted, not what you want to

only validly urgent to the person posting and everyone else really doesn't

The simple point is that labeling anything urgent doesn't help one get
help - in fact it usually has the opposite effect.

Re: [android-developers] Working Around Samsung Double-SD Problem


 Pent,

Looks close for the Galaxy S, but on my retail Euro version Build.MODEL 
is GT-I9000.


Build.PRODUCT and Build.DEVICE have the same value, as well.

Also, /sdcard/sd exists even when the external memory card is not 
installed, in that case, writing to /sdcard/sd places files on the 
internal memory card (the usual rule with a mount point that has not 
been mounted).

This is not supported, for security reasons. There are apparently ways
you can get something to work if you root your phone. And, of course,
you can do screenshots from outside your phone using DDMS.

[android-developers] Versioning and common code-bases with Eclipse

2010-09-10 Thread MobDev

Hi there,
I'd like to bring out an app in the near future, so I was wondering
how to support a couple of funcitonalities I have got used whilst
developing for J2ME and iPhone

- first the versioning. With J2ME (using NetBeans as IDE) I had the
option to auto-increment the softwwares version every time I compiled
it. I was wondering if something like this is available for Eclipse
and if so how to use it ?
- secondly a common code base. Is it possible to have a common code
base for several projects ? For example I might have a game which
actually uses the same code but needs different graphic resources. I'd
hate to have a different project for every game/app and have to
manually edit every project's source every time I want to submit a new
code-change. Any solution for  this ?

Thanks in advance for every kind of help/hints/tips !

[android-developers] Re: Working Around Samsung Double-SD Problem

2010-09-10 Thread Pent

 Looks close for the Galaxy S, but on my retail Euro version Build.MODEL
 is GT-I9000.

Sugar.

 Build.PRODUCT and Build.DEVICE have the same value, as well.

Double sugar.

 Also, /sdcard/sd exists even when the external memory card is not
 installed, in that case, writing to /sdcard/sd places files on the
 internal memory card

1kg bag of sugar.

 (the usual rule with a mount point that has not
 been mounted).

The usual rule where ? Default linux it should be an empty directory.

So any solution to this is going to be extremely messy in other words.

In any case thanks for course for the info.

[android-developers] Twitter4j 2.1.4 HttpClietImpl calls wrong Scheme Constructor

2010-09-10 Thread Jakob Sachse

Hi,
I was looking for a good twitter lib. Twitter4J claims to be Android
platform and Google APP Engine ready.
I liked how the  website came up with just the example code one needs
to jump right into development.
I have the twitter4j properties file on my classpath and am using the -
core and the -http-client-support libs.

But instead of working I got a NoSuchMethodException.

Looking into the source I found that the
twitter4j.internal.http.alternative.HttpClientImpl calls
-
new Scheme(http, 80, PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory())
-
in its constructor. Yet the parameter order is incorrect.
http://developer.android.com/reference/org/apache/http/conn/scheme/Scheme.html
says the order must be like so:
-
new Scheme(http, PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80)
-
I don't see how Twitter4J is working with that kind of bug.

Can anybody give me a hind of how to curretly use twitter4j on
android?

 The simple point is that labeling anything urgent doesn't help one get

[android-developers] AsyncTask and screen rotation

2010-09-10 Thread Bret Foreman

Is there a standard pattern for handling a running AsyncTask with
screen rotation? My AsyncTask runs for about 10 seconds. I could call
AsyncTask.cancel in the Activity's onDestroy method and restart the
task in onCreate but that would waste cycles, bandwidth, and user
time. I'm guessing there is a better way.

[android-developers] Re: Adding checkboxes to a LinearLayout

2010-09-10 Thread Robert Nekic

Aside from the gravity discussion that has started, I'm not sure
addContentView is what you want.   I think the approach you are taking
now is simply stacking the CheckBoxes on top of the LinearLayout...not
putting them inside it.  You say you already have a vertically
oriented LinearLayout?  Is it defined in a layout XML file you you are
setting during onCreate?  Grab the LinearLayout and use addView:

LinearLayout linearLayout =
(LinearLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.yourLinearLayoutID);
CheckBox box = new CheckBox(this);
linearLayout.addView(box);
CheckBox box2 = new CheckBox(this);
linearLayout.addView(box2);
(etc etc)

 I want to add some checkboxes to a LinearLayout at runtime. The

 addContentView( box , params );

 What should be the params to get the effect I want? So far, everything
 I've tried ends up overlaying the new checkboxes on top of each other
 and on top of the other items in the layout. I want everything stacked
 in a column with the new checkboxes at the bottom.

Hardcoding paths is always bad.

Put an advanced settings entry (with a disclaimer) in your menu and ask 
the user where he wants to save the data. Else save them in getExternal...

On Android 2.2 (GAOSP for Samsung Galaxy) those paths changed to

[android-developers] Tiled Bitmap sometimes doesn't tile...

2010-09-10 Thread Andrew n marshall



I'm trying to use the following layered drawable:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
layer-list xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
item
bitmap android:src=@drawable/bluestar_tile
android:tileMode=repeat
/
/item
item
bitmap android:src=@drawable/bluestar_grad
android:gravity=fill
/
/item
/layer-list


It is a semi-transparent gradient over a tile.  However, on some 
occasions the tile layer doesn't tile.  Instead I see the gradient image 
streched over the designated space, a single tile block, and the 
background showing through elsewhere.


It seems only related to my animated components of which the layered 
bitmap is a background of.  Orientation changes seem to trigger it more 
often, but I've seen the error without an orientation change or even an 
activity switch.  I believe the background always shows up successfully 
at least once.  However, once it fails on one animated background, it 
will fail on all other animated backgrounds, while other components with 
that background continue to render correctly.  Further, I can only clear 
the error by restarting the process (something I can't ship with).


Any thoughts on what might be the error, or suggested tests I could run 
to narrow down the possibilities?

Option #1: Don't have Android do the normal destroy/recreate cycle.
Add an android:configChanges attribute to your manifest for this
activity, and override onConfigurationChanged() to fix up your UI.
This keeps the same Activity instance, and so your AsyncTask should be
fairly happy. Here is a project that has this setup, though it does
not use an AsyncTask:

http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Rotation/RotationThree/

Option #2: Make the AsyncTask either a public top-level Java class
(not an inner class) or static inner class of the Activity. Manually
associate the Activity with the AsyncTask via a constructor parameter
in your AsyncTask instance. Associate the new Activity instance with
the AsyncTask after the rotation. You can see an example of this
technique here:

http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Rotation/RotationAsync/

Option #3: I think droid-fu may have some stuff related to this in
their library.

Personally, I'd use option #1.

You can handle screen rotation yourself or block it from restarting

android:configChanges=orientation

Search the docs for that.

[android-developers] Re: UriMatcher match not working properly

2010-09-10 Thread Arpit

I had not copied the code here, but re-wrote it in the post. This miss
was because I made mistake while typing.

And I got -1 cause my content provider was getting registered. It was
not a problem

Now I will write the test case as you said and it will also help me
fix the code properly.

Basically, we have code base which I have is written in Donut and I am
helping my customer update it with few new features and run it in both
Eclair and Froyo. And also move it to Gingerbread once it is out...
Providing ContentProvider is a big requirement as app never shared the
data and had local app db.

Arpit

On Sep 10, 12:19 am, A. Elk lancaster.dambust...@gmail.com wrote:
 I missed the mismatch as well; it's subtle. In your manifest, you set
 the authority to com.arpit.providers.MyContentProvider, while in the
 code you set it to com.arpit.provider.MyContentProvider. Note the
 missing s for provider in the code. The ContentResolver shouldn't be
 able to resolve your provider, so you should always get back null when
 you call it. This rouses my curiosity; how do you know that UriMatcher
 is always returning -1?

 On the whole, it would be better in this case to do some debugging
 first. If you provide values to a function, but it doesn't act as you
 expect, then either you passed in the wrong values or misunderstood
 the requirements. Check the values for correctness before you assume
 you misunderstood something.

 Content provider users should also consider writing unit tests for
 their providers. ProviderTestCase2 is a good, comprehensive way to
 test a provider in isolation.

   MyContentProvider.AUTHORITY + /key;
   In my ParticipantTable class CONTENT_URI = content:// +

   In my AndroidManifest.xml file I have registered the provider as:

   provider android:name=com.arpit.providers.MyContentProvider
           android:authorities=com.arpit.providers.MyContentProvider/

   Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(KeyTable.CONTENT_URI, new
   String[] { KeyTable.col1 }, _id='1', null,  null);

   My problem is when the Query Method is called and the Switch block is
   executed the uriM.match returns always -1 (irrespective of whether it
   is KeyTable.CONTENT_URI or ParticipantTable.CONTENT_URI).

   Could you let me know what wrong am I doing because of which it is not
   working.

   From the note pad example I see during debug the only difference is
   they call managedQuery instead of getContentReslover().query(...). I

I believe so.

Just because some directory (e.g. /sdcard/sd) is listed in /etc/fstab 
(or whatever file Android uses) as a directory where something might be 
mounted in the future, doesn't mean that until then, this directory 
can't have any content.


Mounting a device at a directory location hides whatever was in that 
directory before (in the parent file system).


What I actually saw is that My Backup Pro writes its data to 
/sdcard/sd/rerware/., even though I don't have an external memory 
card in this phone.

[android-developers] Re: how to maintain consistent UI over multiple versions of Android OS skinned by carriers and hardware manufacturers

2010-09-10 Thread NewB

thank you for the quick reply. I see the same dimension changes more
often in HTC sense that others. The rating bar seems more compact in
HTC sense than in stock skin or Samsung skin.
Just to note, sometimes even if the dimensions of the widget don't
change, the widget view appears cropped, i.e. missing a few pixels
from the start or end of it, depending on the padding/margin. I've
only noticed this on the rating bar which appears to have certain bugs
(based on other forums I've read).

[android-developers] problem with accented letters

2010-09-10 Thread Simone

I fill a TextView like this:

TextView instructions=(TextView)
findViewById(R.id.batteryInstructionsText);

try {
InputStream instrStr=res.openRawResource(R.raw.instructionsfile);
byte [] text=new byte[580];
int i=instrStr.read(text);
instructions.setText(new String(text).substring(0, i));
} catch (Exception e) {
instructions.setText(res.getString(R.string.instrerror));
}

The problem is that instead of accented letters (à, è, é, ù, ò..) a
question mark is displayed.
How can I solve this?

[android-developers] Adding native Binder service permission error when not root

2010-09-10 Thread masrepus

What is the best way to add a new native service that uses Binder and
can get past the service_manager.cpp restrictions on what users can
add services?

I have created a new native service that is similar to the
MediaPlayer. I make the addService() calls to add the Binder service
to the system. This worked fine when the service was started as root.

I moved the new service to be started as the media user. Then I
receive permission errors because of the table in service_manager.cpp
where there is a check for users and allowed Binder services.

Do I have to add my service to the table or is there some other way?

Re: [android-developers] problem with accented letters


 Simone,

You are using a byte array to read your data. When converting a byte 
array to a String, you should specify encoding.


My guess is it's Western European, so you'd do:

new String(someByteArray, iso-8859-1)


Also your code tries to convert the entire byte array to String and then 
extracts a substring. You really should not pass garbage (unread) bytes 
at the end of the array to the String constructor. Convert just the 
bytes that actually came from the file:


byte[] byte_buffer = new byte[some length here, sufficient for read to succeed];

int actual_read = instrStr.read(byte_buffer);

String s = new String(byte_buffer, 0, actual_read, iso-8859-1);

[android-developers] Libraries STILL not working

2010-09-10 Thread Robert Schmid

I was really excited today when I saw the Tools r7 and ADT 0.9.8 were
available and the latter had this note;

Fixes problems with handling of library project names that contain
characters that are incompatible with the Eclipse path variable. Now
properly sets up the link between the main project and the library
project.


Uh, no.

I create the library (foolib - no spaces, no caps, no punctuation).
So far so good.
I go to the main project, go to preferences -- Android.  In the
library box I add the new library.  It appears.  I press Apply. I
press OK.

Nothing happens.

I return to the preferences, the library is no longer there JUST LIKE
BEFORE.

Has anybody made this work?

[android-developers] How to use custom fonts all over your app

2010-09-10 Thread thilo.haged...@googlemail.com

Is there another way to use custom fonts than use setTypeface
directly on your view like in the following code lines?

typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(), fonts/
xyz.TTF);
textview.setTypeface(typeface);

The best way to use a custom font I can imagine is by setting it
globally in your theme style. But it seems to be impossible to define
your settings in xml.
To avoid an exessive usage of the findViewById method, which is also
told to be quite expensive, the next preferred way would be to
override your View classes and use them in your xml (reduces the
amount of java code).

I tried to override TextView and set the font in the constructor. This
is working quite good but textstyles like bold or italic got lost
this way although I tried to keep it by mappig the constructor
Parameter AttributeSet attr by setTypeface(typeface,
attr.textStyle); or by overriding the method setTypeface (Typeface
tf); by setTypeface(typeface, tf.getStyle());
That was not working.

So has somebody figured out a way to solve this issue? Thanks in
advance.

Has anybody got any idea why this would be happening?

Well... from

http://brainflush.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/introducing-droid-fu-for-a.
..

So the basic idea is: launch an AsyncTask making your service call,
show a nifty progress dialog while the task thread is running, and
have the task’s result be posted back to your activity once it
completes. Cool, but what if the user decides to rotate the screen
while your task is running? Or a phone call comes in, interrupting
your app, and Android decides to kill it? Both these actions will
effectively terminateyour activity, and recreate it when resuming
(yes, a screen rotation kills your activity, very clever, isn’t
it?).
Unfortunately, any AsyncTask that was still running now holds a
stale
reference to your activity, because the restarted activity will be
an
entirely different object in memory (and it will go through
onCreate(), as if the activity had started for the first time). I’m
not entirely sure whether AsyncTask will actually post back the
data
to the old activity object (if it was a weak reference, it may
already
have been garbage collected), but in any case, your “new” activity
will never see it, because it’s a different instance.

Now, one could argue: well, just do all the work again, like,
re-send
the request or whatever job was running. Yes, you could do that.
But
that’s wasteful and, really, makes you feel stupid, no? Plus, if
the
user triggers a web service request, then flips the screen, decides
that this wasn’t helpful, and flips it back, then your request is
being sent 3 times in parallel. Is that what you want? Probably
not.

BetterAsyncTask to the Rescue

Thanks to Droid-Fu, there’s a solution to this: BetterAsyncTask!
(I’m
a lazy person, and I couldn’t come up with a better name). It
behaves
exactly like AsyncTask (in fact, it is an AsyncTask), but it does
some
extra work for you: first and foremost, it keeps track of the
active
instance of the context that launched it, and if that instance
should
change, it will post the data back to the new instance. In other
words, you can dispatch your task, flip the screen back and forth
mentally, and BetterAsyncTask will still post the task’s result
back
to whatever activity instance is alive at the time it finishes. In
other words, the task is only ever run once, regardless whether the
context in which it was launched died while it was running or not.

If your widget is too large, check these:

- Android UI guidelines has standard widget sizes, as well as shows the grid
on which widgets are laid out:

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.htm
l#sizes

- Check your appwidget-provider XML file (usually
res/xml/widget_info.xml), specifically, android:minWidth and
android:minHeight. I use 70dp and 72dp for these, but my widgets are a
little larger than the standard ones (trying to match HTC Sense), although
they still fit the standard grid.

- Check the widget's layout file, specifically, its width and height. If
necessary, specify explicit width and height to match the
appwidget-provider and a solid background color to see which elements of
your widget layout do not fit.

Home screen Widgets are laid out on a grid, so no matter how compact you

Also, you should not be using pixel dimensions in the layout - use

   /TextView
/RelativeLayout


I have tried wrap_content and other width/height settings but nothing
seems to reduce the Box around my widget content. Im super
confused. I clicked on my ATK widget and started to drag it around on
my HTC Aria and it shows the bounding box around the widget and that
one is the same size of the content inside same with all the other
widgets on my screens.

Thanks so much for the help and advice!

Generally, they are in the documentation for the class. So,
paddingRight is a property on all views, so you will find it in
android.view.View:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:paddingRight

In the specific case of paddingRight, that takes a dimension, either
inline (e.g., 20dip) or as a dimension resource:

Re: [android-developers] Re: AsyncTask and screen rotation

2010-09-10 Thread Romain Guy

Option #1 is a lot more intrusive. You lose the ability to
automatically switch layouts, drawables, etc. It might be fine now but
it might come back to bite you in the future. It should always be your
last resort. Saving and restoring an AsyncTask is not difficult.

 Yeah, Mark's option 1 looks like the best approach for my application.
 Android should provide more infrastructure for this sort of thing
 because async web services are becoming almost universal and they
 always require something like this when they interact with the UI.

For example, I was just answering a StackOverflow question where someone's
app was breaking when the device was inserted into a dock, because in 2.2
there is a new dock configuration that changes at that point.

You should *always* write your app to work correctly across a
destroy/create.  android:configChanges is only for optimization of certain
very special cases; it is not an excuse to have a broken app.

Re: [android-developers] Adding native Binder service permission error when not root

This is not available to either the SDK or NDK.  The question would be
better asked on android-porting or android-platform.

 What is the best way to add a new native service that uses Binder and
 can get past the service_manager.cpp restrictions on what users can
 add services?

 I have created a new native service that is similar to the
 MediaPlayer. I make the addService() calls to add the Binder service
 to the system. This worked fine when the service was started as root.

 I moved the new service to be started as the media user. Then I
 receive permission errors because of the table in service_manager.cpp
 where there is a check for users and allowed Binder services.

 Do I have to add my service to the table or is there some other way?

[android-developers] AudioManager request/abandon focus messages

2010-09-10 Thread Steve Hugg

We have an app which requests and abandons audio focus several times
over the course of its lifetime. When the process exits, these
messages appear several (30+) times in the log:

W/AudioService( 1086):   AudioFocus   audio focus client died
W/AudioService( 1086):   AudioFocus   audio focus client died
W/AudioService( 1086):   AudioFocus   audio focus client died
...

We are just using requestAudioFocus() and abandonAudioFocus() with a
single listener object and as far as I can tell the calls are paired
up properly. It seems from the AudioService code that a new
AudioFocusDeathHandler is created for each call, will this lead to
memory leaks or other problems or is this benign?

What if that AsyncTask is downloading a file? Interrupting it,
regardless of how nicely done, would be a bad thing wouldn't it?

[android-developers] EditText in a simple Activity

2010-09-10 Thread Simone

I've got a simple activity layout wich contains a couple of EditText
elements.
Everything works ok, but the only problem is that when I open this
activity, the Android keyboard is opened automatically as well, ready
to take input for the first of the two EditTexts.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks,
Simone

On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 12:46 PM, Romain Guy romain...@android.com wrote:

Worst-case scenario:

Step #1: Take your UI setup that is in onCreate() and move it to a
separate method (e.g., setupViews())

Step #2: Call setupViews() from onCreate()

Step #3: Call setupViews() from onConfigurationChanged()

Done. ~4 lines of code. And it's the exact same code path that a
destroy/recreate will go down, so it's not like this adds unusual
performance overhead. There are certain circumstances where this may
not work (e.g., GLSurfaceView and a game), but you needed to do extra
work for those cases, anyway, to handle the destroy/recreate cycle.

 Saving and restoring an AsyncTask is not difficult.

No, it's not. The question is: is it reliable?

None of the AsyncTask documentation (class, article, etc.) covers this
case. It *appears* that you can write an AsyncTask such that
onPostExecute() or onProgressUpdate() will not be called in the middle
of the activity transition. However, that's not documented and hence
not guaranteed, and so while I'll describe a pattern that seems to
work, I personally don't trust it any further than I can throw your
large Froyo lawn ornament. If somebody could give us the recipe that
is guaranteed to work (i.e., works today, and is going to work in
Android 2.3/3.0/Turbo System 5000), that'd be *wonderful*.

Actually, I lied earlier. I'd choose Option #4:

Option #4: Don't do the AsyncTask in an activity. Use a Service and
have it do the AsyncTask, or use an IntentService if the sole purpose
of the service is to do stuff in a background thread. In particular,
an IntentService would be good for a download that you want to happen
regardless of what may go on with an activity (e.g., Android Market
downloading an APK), and so you don't need to worry about canceling
it.

[android-developers] How to zoom in/out image with webkit

2010-09-10 Thread Ghetto Bill Gates

I have an app where its a website wrapped with webview/webkit but when
I load images via linkes, you can use basic functions to zoom in/out.
I thought this was standard throughout  using Android?
