[android-developers] Re: Button placement problems
Thanks for the response. Yeah the centered_vertical is not necessary. I put because I was wondering whether I can o a margin from the center of the screen. For the second question - yes I need the space. The B1 should be placed below the center of the screen, and B2 and B3 should be in the bottom right/left corner of the screen. I figured out that B2 and B3 can also be placed by relativeLayot with aligning to bottom- right\left. But still B1 is a problem. I am using Samsung i5700 (Android 1.5), and Acer liquid E (android 2.1). Btw. Daniel are you from Poland?

[android-developers] Re: Placing DB to webserver or phone for LBS
Hi, Put it in webserver and make it accessible via some web service (as you have planned). Think of situations if in future you have to update the data (which is quite certain). In that case, you update in your server and the user gets updated information without updating their android application. But, if your POI dataset is fixed and not likely to be changed, your users want to use them offline then you can put that on device. I am not sure about your app, but as it is using POI, it might be using map also, then most probably your maps are coming from the internet. In that case, there is no harm getting the POI's online from server. My suggestion is to put the POI data online.

[android-developers] Re: Detect OSK shown / hidden events
Hi Dianne, I have overridden the fullscreen mode by adding android:imeOptions=flagNoExtractUi to my EditText. What we're trying to do (or to be exact what our designers demand) is that when clicking an EditText in the UI we will zoom it in nicely and smoothly. We have the animation nailed down (with translation matrix) but we're having big difficulties hooking in zoom in /o out animation starts so that it will work on all platforms (with or without HW keyboard) consistently. I would love to see a way top subscribe to HW / OS keyboard open or closing events more easily. Until now I haven't found any way of doing that. Configuration object seems to give same values regardless what the OSK state is. Am I doing something wrong? Or is what I'm trying to do simply impossible? In that case I should let our designers know that they should find an alternative approach.

May be somewhat similar happens with respect to thenetworklocation on some phones. 3. Add listener restart logic after a certain timeout, i.e. if you didn't getonLocationChanged() after a certain time stop the listener, create and start it again. 4. Get Android source code and study the LocationManager hierarchy. Probably the most complicated approach but I would start from here.

I think you need to replace getLastKnownLocation(mCoarseLocationProvider) with getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER) - it is not clear where do you get mCoarseLocationProvider.

[android-developers] Contact API problem with save datas
Hello I'm facing a basic problem but i didn't find any tutorial in
order to help me...
I'm writing an application with sort of backup contact options. I want
that my applications works for android phones since 1.5 to 2.2
So i write a two implementation of ContactApi, one for 1.5, 1.6 and an
other for new api version.
Here is the list of problem I'm facing with.
With new api, nothing. All works fine, backing up contacts works well.
But with older api I'm not able to backing up some datas :
* Email Datas (able to read, but not able to save)
* IM datas (able to read, but not able to save)
* Notes (able to read the first note, if many notes, I lost datas,
same things for backup)
Here is the code I'm using :

private ArrayListEmail getEmailAddresses(String id) {
ArrayListEmail emails = new ArrayListEmail();
Cursor emailCur =
this.contentResolver.query(Contacts.ContactMethods.CONTENT_EMAIL_URI,
null, Contacts.ContactMethods.PERSON_ID + = ?, new String[] { id },
null);

while (emailCur.moveToNext()) {
// This would allow you get several email addresses
email = new Email();
email.setData(emailCur.getString(emailCur.getColumnIndex(Contacts.ContactMethods.DATA)));
email.setType(emailCur.getInt(emailCur.getColumnIndex(Contacts.ContactMethods.TYPE)));
email.setLabel(emailCur.getString(emailCur.getColumnIndex(Contacts.PeopleColumns.NAME)));
emails.add(email);
}
emailCur.close();
return emails;
}

[android-developers] Re: APK file package name
Ah, you beat me to the answer, excellent. But when checking my answer, I realized that there's no way that I can see to extract the original XML. 'xmltree' is a pain to decode, though I'm sure it's of great help to that one guy who maintains the XML encoding/decoding code! It would be easy to output equivalent XML with an 'aapt dump xml path/ to/apk e.g. res/layout/main.xml', there have been a number of times I would have found this very helpful - mostly to be sure I was debugging what I thought I was debugging! What I'd really like to see would be a .apk inspector integrated into Eclipse. It'd be great if it could also dive into class.dex and at least tell us what's there. I can't find a way to do this now?

[android-developers] Launcher icon gets scaled on X10 Mini
Hi, I just got a Xperia X10 Mini running Android 1.6, and the launcher icon of my app is awfully scaled. I'm providing an ldpi icon, which strictly respects the icon guidelines, and after testing I can confirm that this ldpi icon is used in the launcher. But this 36x ldpi icon appears to be scaled to 48px. If I put a 48x icon, it is not scaled anymore and looks clean. But an ldpi icon is an ldpi icon and I don't want to break my app to be compatible with this device's bugs. Do you know of any workaround?

Someone already had an issue when porting applications from a device to another one ?

It's the drawback when you have multiple hardware running on framework. There is one company I can't find the name anymore that have some kind of way to let you try your app on as many devices as you can. It costs a lot though. The most spreaded way to go is to add something like android-remote- stacktrace to receive a full stacktrace by email when an unhandled error occurs on one of your client device.

[android-developers] Re: Market expanding to technically non-compliant devices?
'Standalone' apps don't have to go away. OHA should commit to openness to make sure we don't have to fragment our apps. For example, using a front facing camera shouldn't require separate apks (even Qik had to do this). Fortunately thanks to a tip from Diane, we can now use the undocumented required=false with the uses-library element just like we do with uses-feature but this only works with 2.x so unfortunately you still a need a separate apk for 1.6. It would also help if somehow the market could count downloads from these separate apks together as part of one app. Going back to the start of this thread, I tested the following: uses-feature android:name=android.hardware.touchscreen required=false / But android.hardware.touchscreen is still gets listed in the dev console for market filtering. For apps that made sure that the touchscreen wasn't the sole input UI, it would be great to see these apps work on GoogleTV once the market is available there. -Dario On Dec 1, 2:02 am, Spiral123 cumis...@gmail.com wrote: ah I see what you mean now. Interesting. The situation you are referring to is already upon us: GoogleTV it comes with its own controller that works well and I can also get a separate Logitech app that runs on my Phone that works as a remote controller, effectively replacing the GoogleTV controller. So...yes I agree that you will need to make 2 separate apks. Initially I didn't understand what you meant by 'integrated' - my bad. However, I think I would extend your thought a little. I suppose there are now really 2 types of app: - Complimentary apps where an app on one platform is optionally extended and enhanced. These can be managed as separate (but not independent) entities, as I don't need the extension to be able to perform the main function. - Integrated apps where 2 different devices are actually required in order to deliver some functionality. This case is the one where it would be nice to have a bundling mechanism like you describe. With the introduction of iOS and the expansion of Android to multiple platforms I think the age of the truly 'Standalone' app has gone. In fact, as developers we should welcome the proliferation of device types as it should increase our ability to deliver cool stuff, add value and opportunities to monetize our efforts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] What is the Android Sequence of Startup
There are a number of scenarios. The basic one is from the home page, but an app can also run when the device boots, wakes up, an alarm fires, or when another application sends an intent. The crux is the manifest which tells the Android OS what interactions the app is expecting and able to respond to. Note that an app doesn't really run. Its code gets loaded into a Dalvic VM and then the Andorid OS calls various lifecycle methods in the app's code. A lot of newbie developers stumble over this, thinking that an Android app runs just like a desktop application (even they are really subject to an event loop as well). If you can think of IOC (inversion of control) you'll have a better grip on how this works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Button placement problems
2010/12/1 Serdel adam.lichwierow...@gmail.com: Thanks for the response. Yeah the centered_vertical is not necessary. I put because I was wondering whether I can o a margin from the center of the screen. For the second question - yes I need the space. The B1 should be placed below the center of the screen, and B2 and B3 should be in the bottom right/left corner of the screen. I figured out that B2 and B3 can also be placed by relativeLayot with aligning to bottom- right\left. But still B1 is a problem. I am using Samsung i5700 (Android 1.5), and Acer liquid E (android 2.1). Btw. Daniel are you from Poland? If so: Dzięki za odpowiedź : Serdel, as suggested here, try using relative layout and you will have to be more careful about your screens and dimensions with regards to layouts. Samsung i5700 is a mdpi device (320x480 pix) and Acer Liquid is hdpi one(480x800 pix). As a result even though you were using B1's top margin expressed in DIPs, you would see a shift in the position of it. Btw, I am from Poland, so Nie ma za co!

[android-developers] Unable to create Database for content providers
My application has a database that has to be exposed to global search. I have the sqlite database in my res/raw dir. I am trying to copy the database file to the databases directory in my project but it throws a FileNotFoundException. I am guessing that this is a permissions issue. My application is similar to the Searchable dictionary but the problem is that since I have around 2000 records, it is taking around 15-30 seconds to populate the database. I also have to way to tell the user that the data is loading. So I just decided to use the sqlite database which I can copy to the databases directory of my project in the onCreate method of my databasehelper class.[extends SqliteOpenHelper]. Now I use the same method to copy my actual application database and it works fine. This may be because they are running in the same process. How can I copy my database to the databases dir or where to I need to copy it to?. Or alternatively, is there anyway that I can let the users know that the database is being loaded when it is loading. I noticed that the databases are being loaded even before my search results handler's onCreate method is called. So I cannot even display a loading dialog from the onCreate method.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Array Adapter
what do you mean by default view? that method is supposed to return a View which is used to render the list item. the default implementation, whose source i recommend you read, returns back a TextView the id (you can pass a more complex view which has a TextView element etc. all of which is documented) to which you pass in the constructor. the convertView is a recycled view which can be used if it meets all the requirements. you should override this method, as suggested by treking if you want to do anything more than what is done by default.

Re: [android-developers] Dumping the results of DefaultHttpClient.execute()
Bret, Kinds of depends on how you connect the http client and the parser. If you're using getEntity().getContent() to get the stream, I'd think you could write a tee input stream (just like the unix tee command). This stream class would read from the entity's stream, and return the data unchanged (consumed by the parser). While doing that, it would dump the data being read into logcat (or whatever). This would provide what you're after - logging that does not interfere with data flow. -- Kostya 01.12.2010 23:05, Bret Foreman пишет: I want to dump the results of DefaultHttpClient.execute() into the log (just for debugging, not for all time).

Re: [android-developers] Re: Localization: no compression... huge APK...
Fwiw, there is nothing that intrinsically requires the resource table to not be compressed. This is done because it allows it to be mmapped instead of loaded into RAM, which can be a lot more efficient at run time. If you want to, you can massage the .apk with a zip tool so that resources.arsc is compressed instead of stored. If the resource table is only 200k, the overhead of loading the whole thing into RAM for each app using it is not that significant... but on the other hand, I don't see 200K as being all that big to get upset about either or go to extreme effort to avoid. :} And I generally wouldn't recommend people start compressing their resource table -- that part of your .apk is generally loaded into at least 3 processes (your own, launcher, and the system), so being able to mmap it is a big win. Also if you target API level 7 or higher, resource strings are stored as UTF-8 instead of UTF-16 which will generally halve the space needed by them.

someone explain me, if restlet api works similarly as a classic web

custom data type and in the same call to return any value or another
custom data type like

Maybe i m doing anything wrong, but what is working until now for me
is just simple call

where method getString() is implemented on server side like this:

[android-developers] Re: Geocoder throwing exception
Most likely the servers for maps and geocoding are different, however the common thing is that both services require connection. They both use the same network (cellular or WiFi) so if the network is down none of them will work (except cached map data).

[android-developers] Re: Dumping the results of DefaultHttpClient.execute()
How about instead, logging the exact request that failed? Then, your server engineers can add it to their test suites, and you can use curl or wget to get the response, and add that response to your test suite. What this lacks in tight coupling it more than makes up for by being a test that gets run repeatedly and isn't breakable. However, you really should *never* see this sort of problem. I can think of two likely explanations, both of which deserve more systematic responses than looking at an individual failing case: 1) The output is malformed XML. This should never happen, because your server engineers should not be attempting to format XML as text. They should be creating a DOM and using a standard seralialization API, or they should be using an event-based serialization. Trying to write correct XML by hand under all circumstances is both a formula for bugs and a whole lot of wasted work. And the resulting code is fragile and difficult to maintain! 2) The output is being truncated, due to bad error handling or IO handling on one side or the other or both. If you get an error in the middle of writing, you must close the connection. Ideally, you'd set the content-length header; that's not always possible for performance reasons. But far better than doing it in the middle of writing is to always do any work that might get an error before beginning to write. Then, you handle and ignore IO exceptions during write (because the connection failed -- a routine, expected occurrence that generally doesn't even warrant logging, though you'd like to detect abnormal frequency). Other exceptions, you return a suitable 5xx-category HTTP status, which the client should handle in some user-friendly way, whether that be to remain silent and try it again, or to gently explain to the user that he's totally, irreversibly had his life ruined forever. On the client side, IO exceptions are to be expected as well. If the IO exception is an end-of-file exception, the data is truncated. Finally -- make very sure that the server actually flushes all the output to the network before closing the connection! I'm not saying that logging responses that aren't what you expect isn't a good idea! But in my experience, it's far from essential, and should not form your main line of defense against bad responses.

[android-developers] Re: Displaying unicode in a TextView?
Thank you very much.
1) I am not explicitly setting any unicode character code in the
TextView. I display data that exists within e-books that are stored in
epub format. I do not alter this data at all. I display it as is. Most
of this displays OK, but quotes look like the following garbage ...
2) Open double quote: a-circumflex
something similar to a Euro symbol
a scrunched together o-e
Close double quote: a-circumflex
something similar to a Euro symbol
question mark in a black diamond
3) I do not get the contents over the network. These are e-books in
epub format that already reside on my sdcard. The mojibake is rendered
perfectly (i.e., not as mojibake) by other e-readers such as Laputa,
Aldiko, FBReader, Laputa, Nook, Kindle, etc.
This is the code that reads the data from the epub file.
// this.file is a String which contains the pathname to the
// e-book on my sdcard.
// this.itemMap is a LinkedHashMap which holds the contents
// of each item in the e-book, keyed by the name of the item.
// It's initialized to null and instantiated via lazy
// evaluation.
// More extensive error handling will be added later.
private boolean readEpubFile() {

while ((ze = z.getNextEntry()) != null) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int c = z.read(); c = 0; c = z.read()) {
sb.append((char) c);
}
String name = ze.getName();

this.itemMap = new LinkedHashMapString,

[android-developers] onItemClick(AdapterView? parent, View view,
Okay i dont want to get to many ppl confused so im going to try to ask this very simply. When android goes to this function when a user clicks on a item on your listview. basically u get a parent who im assuming is the array of textview that was set up during the setAdapter phase and view which the the corresponding View to which the user touched. My main and only questions is i know i can adjust the view of View by saying stuff like (TextView)view = setText(hello) during the same time i want to beable to change another TextView in the AdapterView like the View after the View view so i guess view +1 i want to also be able to change that view into another word. Please dont ask me y im doing this just that im doing it for a reason I just really need help and i hope this explains that During the onItemClick listener function basically I want to adjust 2 different Views in the arrays of Views but i have no idea how to access the any other view then the given View view thats the argument they give you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: getView what the arguments means?
ArrayAdapter is a bridge between all of the items that can potentially be displayed (the items in your array) and those currently on the screen. Only the ones on the screen need to have View objects. getView() is an optimization method that allows you to reuse previously constructed Views as items scroll off the screen and others scroll on. If the View that's received in getView() is non-null and of the right type for the array item at the given position that's coming onto the screen, then all you need to do is set the state of all of the items in the View by calling setText(), setChecked(), etcetera to match the state of the array item. In your case it sounds like an action performed on one item in your array, via its View, can affect the state of another item in your array. If that's the case, then all you need to do is update the state of the affected item(s) in your array when the action is performed, and then call your array adapter's notifyDataSetChanged() method. This will force a refresh of all of the items currently displayed.

[android-developers] Re: onItemClick(AdapterView? parent, View view,
Its probably a bad idea to play with any View managed by the Adapter other than the one that is passed to onItemClick() or to getView(). So the idea that you find view + 1 is not going to work. There is lots of tricky View pool activity behind the scenes so you can't make any assumptions about what view is at any other location. If might seem to work part of the time but you can't depend on it.

private Handler handler;
handler = new Handler(new Handler.Callback() {

Re: [android-developers] onItemClick(AdapterView? parent, View view,
My 2c - you are over-complicating this.The getView is ONLY to give back the view for the item that is requested. If you want this item to be colored X then do it here. If you want another item to be colored Y then do it when getView is called for that item. The state maintenance, i.e. what is X or Y is done independent of the code within getView which needs to just return the View... As for the specific text, if you are returning a TextView t, then t.setText would work.
