[android-developers] Re: Unable to use the surface object from application side in the native side.

2011-06-09 Thread Sandeep Patil

Dear FrNd,

As an alternative, I am now using the surface object and getting its
spISurface by calling surface-getISurface(), I have managed to
get the iSurface object also.
Now I just want to register buffers to this surface and try posting
the buffer. So this what i am doing for it.




if(iSurface.get())
{
spMemoryHeapBase mFrameheap = new  
MemoryHeapBase(OutputFrameSize
* MAX_FRAME_BUFFERS);
 if (mFrameheap-heapID()  0)
 {
  return RetVal;
  }

/* create frame buffer heap and register with 
surfaceflinger */
   ISurface::BufferHeap
buffers( Width,Height,Width,Height,PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_565,mFrameheap);

   if (isurface-registerBuffers(buffers) 
0 ) //** The Execution is Stopping here

   {
LOGE(Cannot register frame buffer!);
mFrameheap.clear();
return RetVal;
   }

LOGE(After RegisterBuffers);
}



The problem now I am facing is that the execution is stopping at the
call of register buffers. At statement, isurface-
registerBuffers(buffers).

Can u help me out to solve this.


Thanks and Regards
Sandeep Patil

  Dear frndz,

  I am facing a problem of being not able to use the surface object
  obtained from an activity class in the native side. Here is what i am
  doing,

  * Getting a SurfaceView object with the help of findviewbyId()
  function.
  * Then obtaining its SurfaceHolder by calling getHolder() function of
  the surfaceView class.
  * Then adding a callback to the holder, so as to know when the surface
  is being created and destroyed.
  * Once i get the callback of onSurfaceCreated(), i am getting the
  surface object by getSurface() of the SurfaceHolder class and setting
  it to a (Surface mSUrface = null ) field in the Activity class.
  * From onSurfaceCreated() itself, I am calling a native function that
  tries to access the mSurface object and casts it to spSurface.

  Here is my native function,

  JNIEXPORT void JNICALL setSurface(JNIEnv* env,jobject thiz)
  {
     jfieldID    surfacefieldID;
     jfieldID    surface_native;
     Surface* p;
     jclass clazz;

     clazz = env-FindClass(com/example/SMFMediaPlayer/
  SecondActivity);
     if (clazz == NULL) {
         LOGE(Can't find com/example/SMFMediaPlayer/SecondActivity
  \n);
     }

     surfacefieldID = env-GetFieldID(clazz, mSurface, Landroid/view/
  Surface;);
     if (surfacefieldID == NULL) {
         LOGE(Can't find MediaPlayer.mSurface\n);
     }

     jclass surface = env-FindClass(android/view/Surface);
     if (surface == NULL) {
         LOGE(Can't find android/view/Surface\n);
     }

     surface_native = env-GetFieldID(surface, mSurface, I);

     if (surface_native == NULL) {
         LOGE(Can't find Surface fields\n);
     }

     jobject surfaceobj = env-GetObjectField(thiz,surfacefieldID);
     if (surfaceobj != NULL)
     {
           p = (Surface*) env-GetIntField(surfaceobj, surface_native);

          if(p-isValid())
          {
                 const spSurface native_Surface = spSurface(p);
          }
     }
    .
   //There some more code down here

  }

  The problem here is that the execution is stopping at the
  statement,const spSurface native_Surface = spSurface(p);.

  I am not getting what is the mistake.

  Actually i am using this code create my own media player. So i request
  to let me know my mistake or an alternative way to access the surface
  object. And also i need the SurfaceComposerClient object corresponding
  the surface object.

  SOmebody help me out.

[android-developers] Re: Delete a variable

2011-06-09 Thread DanH

The usual problem on Android and other phones is not the program heap
but rather the heap (often separate) used for images.  In particular
on Android this is a problem that requires some special programming
techniques if you're using a lot of images.

In Java, local variables go out of scope when you return from the
method where they're declared.  However, with some GC schemes there's
a slight chance that a variable could have life after death when a
new method is called that uses the same stack space, but the specific
location of the variable isn't overwritten.  (I don't think this is a
problem on Android, as it has a precise garbage collector.)

You have set the android:minSdkVersion of your application to 8. This
has absolutely nothing to do with
ACTION_SCREEN_OFF or ACTION_SCREEN_ON.

Check your app's manifest for a

android:minSdkVersion

and change it appropriately, from 8 to something lower (7 for Android 2.1).
If you don't have one, create it, or build with Android 2.1 libraries.

On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 1:18 AM, Raghav Sood raghavs...@gmail.com wrote:

 I have waited for a while and have had no response from all of you. So I am
 trying again. Could you all help in making this wiki? Anthing android
 related is welcome on it.
 http://wiki.androidappcheck.com/


I admire your efforts but you'll likely not get a good response (again).
Here's a few things to consider that's likely keeping people from
contributing.

1 - Your wiki is empty. There is *NOTHING* on it. Which means no one is
reading it since there's nothing to read. So why would anyone waste their
time adding stuff to a wiki no one is reading? If I added 1 article right
now you'd have 1 article.

If you're serious about this then *YOU* need to put the leg work up front to
seed it with content to make it look like it's useful, give people
something to read and a reason to visit. Through that traffic people would
eventually start editing existing topics or adding their own new ones.

So write some starting content and / or find other existing tutorials /
examples / data sets online and ask the authors for permission to copy their
stuff over and do that. *Anything* to get something going.

2 - Until you started posting in this group, I for one have never heard of
you or this site. You have no name recognition. If this was
www.the-official-android-wiki.com run by Google, it would likely have a huge
following. As it stands, there is no confidence that this isn't just some
pet project some random person on the internet threw together over the
weekend. For all we know this will fizzle out and die by next week. The
complete lack of content mentioned in point 1 doesn't help.

There's not much you can do about this but you can start by contributing to
this group with more than pleads for people to add content to your wiki.
Over time perhaps you'll gain more recognition and respect to have people
take this more seriously.

3 - You have a Donate button on each and every page that apparently goes
directly to you. You want an entire community to do the work to build up
knowledge on your website and donations go to you? Seriously?

You, sir, have a pair of solid steel grapefruits that would make Stephen
Colbert jealous.

4 - Sorry but frankly the very people you want to contribute to this simply
have better sh*t to do. We all have apps we're working on and likely
full-time jobs and families and that minor nuisance known as life. Given
points 1, 2, and 3 there's absolutely no incentive or motivation to move
anyone to spend time on this.

This is all meant to be constructive so I hope you take it as such. Good
luck.

[android-developers] Heatmaps

2011-06-09 Thread Vinicius Carvalho

Hi, just would like to share a lib that I was building for the past
week: http://code.google.com/p/mapex/

There you will find a heatmap implementation, demos of it working with
some real data. And also other things like support for a selection box
on a map (something that I was in need for a while)

I intend to add more features to it, for instance clustering for
markers (I already have the algorithm in plain java for server side,
just porting it)

I'm really trying to get this working any comment would be great. I
know there's some bugs here and there, working on them, please report
them, as well features requests.

2011-06-09 Thread Animesh Sinha

Hi all,

 i am new in android and i am developing an application in that i have a
requirement to open/launch my app as soon as user type some specific number
on Home screen say(*#12324#) such that it will notify to my app for launch.

I mean to say that i want a notification(Command) same as when we
type *#06# in home screen it will show a IMEI no. in the same way when
i press a certain code (eg: *#12345#) then it will notify to my
service which is running in background.

Plz solve my problem and reply me soon.

That, or a ton of other solutions that would be appropriate for your

[android-developers] Signing application with multiple certificates

2011-06-09 Thread Jalal

Dear Android community,

I'm having a big problem with the application certificates and I
haven't found any official info regarding the possibility of signing
an application with more than one certificate. I have an application
with package name com.example.myapp signed with certificate A and
the same app with the same package name but signed with certificate B.
The application signed with A comes preinstalled in device X and the
app signed with B comes preinstalled in device Y.

Now I need to publish a the app in the Market with the next version.
How can I publish this update so I don't leave any of my users
hanging. If i sign the update with certificate A, only users with the
device X will be able to install the update and the same thing with
certificate B and device Y.

I saw some posts from other developers in different forums and groups
saying that it's possible to sign an apk with two certificates. When I
try this I get the worst result possible, device X nor device Y can
install the update.

Another thing, is it possible to do some kind of device
differentiation in the Market so users with device X can download one
app and the users with device Y the other?

Thank you all in advance. I hope you can help me with this issue.

Cheers,
Jalal

[android-developers] Re: Broadcasting custom intent actions to background activities from foreground activity.

2011-06-09 Thread Diego Tori

So you're saying in this case it's better to just populate the UI in
onResume for data that is dependent on the outcome of that event? That
would be the case for a couple of activities that depend on it.
However, I'm more concerned about the performance impact, since this
data in particular has dozens of members and if I have to re-create
the UI every time onResume is called, it will create a bad UX within
those Activities, even if I put up a loading screen and use a thread.

I guess one way to reduce the number of unnecessary data refreshes is
once my event occurs, I save a timestamp to my in-memory cache, and
then every time an activity is added to the stack, it retrieves that
value and keeps it there. As a result, every time the user generates
the event, all the other activities below it will check the new
timestamp in onResume and if the latest one is greater than the one
the activity has, it refreshes itself and its current timestamp value.
Also, my app guarantees that this event will occur when it first
starts up, before it launches its home activity, so there will be a
timestamp available.

That's the thing, if I set a shared preference flag or cached flag via

true before having to do work?

Delete the flag. You don't need the flag. Update the UI of the
activity in onResume(). Period.

Even if I didn't reset the flag, every
time it would hit that function, it would still get caught in that
flag, so that isn't really useful.

Hence, get rid of the flag. Update the UI of the activity in onResume().
Period.

So there is no way that I can just
broadcast one intent that my listening activities can listen to after
the intent is sent as soon as they get the foreground again?

What makes you think that your activity even exists? Your
non-foreground activities may not even be in memory, because Android
may have destroyed them to save RAM.

If you simply update your UI in onResume(), it handles both the
activity-in-RAM and the activity-out-of-RAM scenario.

Your proposed model is akin to: every time Google indexes a new page,
it proactively updates every browser on the face of the planet, even
those that do not use Google, do not care about the newly indexed
page, or are not even running.

Keep in mind that this is not a one-time event.

All the more reason to not push updates out to activities that do not
yet need the information.

Rather it is an event
that the user generates, all I want those other activities to know is
whether or not the event was generated by the user while in the
background.

So, update the UI of the activity from your persistent store or
in-memory cache in onResume(). Period.

Re: [android-developers] ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE not being received

2011-06-09 Thread Chris Newton

Kostya,

Thanks for the reply.

I only added the MAIN/LAUNCHER activity because the app was not receiving the 
CONFIGURE action.  I have only been working with the application using the 
Eclipse environment, and from what you have just said perhaps this is my 
problem?  I will have to try making and installing the app without Eclipse in 
the equation.

For the time being I have rewritten the app as an activity, and will sort out 
the issues I am experiencing with launching it later (hopefully when I have 
learned more).

Thanks again,

Chris

 You have a MAIN/LAUNCHER intent filter for your widget configuration activity.
  
 This marks it as the entry point into your application, and it will be shown 
 in the application drawer (Launcher).
  
 Is this what you really want?
  
 If it's launched like this (as opposed to when you go through creating your 
 widget on the home screen), it won't have any widget specific action or 
 extras.
  
 Launching for debugging from Eclipse will also start this activity using 
 MAIN/LAUNCHER, and it won't have any widget specific stuff either.

 Hello,
 
 I have been trying to implement an application that uses the
 ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE action to configure an app when it is first
 installed.
 
 I have been using the discussion at
 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Configuring
 as a reference to accomplish this.
 
 The problem is that the onStart() process of the configuration
 activity does not ever receive an ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE.  In
 other words the code snippet below always executes finish () because
 it is not a CONFIGURE action being processed.
 
 Is there a very simple app that demonstrates receiving an ACTION
 event, or is there an obvious problem with what I am doing?
 
 Thanks,

[android-developers] Re: Loading Bitmaps in native heap

2011-06-09 Thread webmonkey

 On some devices that is going to be way over budget.

The 8mp example is the max case. I don't expect low-end devices to
have an 8mp camera. So let me try again, about 64MB of extra space in
native on a phone that has 512MB of RAM, is that reasonable? I am just
trying to find a right balance here to take advantage of the memory
when it is available. Also note that such memory use would be for
periods where an image is loaded and edited, so it is not allocated
all the time.

 It is silent as far as you are concerned -- no warning, no way to recover,

  I am talking sane for a mobile environment, and I already mmap

 On some devices that is going to be way over budget.  The amount of RAM in

 is a wide variety across them.  The numbers defined in the platform have
 been fairly conservative to ensure good working behavior and performance
 across all devices.

 1 - Your wiki is empty. There is *NOTHING* on it. Which means no one is
 reading it since there's nothing to read. So why would anyone waste their
 time adding stuff to a wiki no one is reading? If I added 1 article right
 now you'd have 1 article.

 If you're serious about this then *YOU* need to put the leg work up front
 to seed it with content to make it look like it's useful, give people
 something to read and a reason to visit. Through that traffic people would
 eventually start editing existing topics or adding their own new ones.

 So write some starting content and / or find other existing tutorials /
 examples / data sets online and ask the authors for permission to copy their
 stuff over and do that. *Anything* to get something going.

 2 - Until you started posting in this group, I for one have never heard of
 you or this site. You have no name recognition. If this was
 www.the-official-android-wiki.com run by Google, it would likely have a
 huge following. As it stands, there is no confidence that this isn't just
 some pet project some random person on the internet threw together over the
 weekend. For all we know this will fizzle out and die by next week. The
 complete lack of content mentioned in point 1 doesn't help.

 There's not much you can do about this but you can start by contributing to
 this group with more than pleads for people to add content to your wiki.
 Over time perhaps you'll gain more recognition and respect to have people
 take this more seriously.

 3 - You have a Donate button on each and every page that apparently goes
 directly to you. You want an entire community to do the work to build up
 knowledge on your website and donations go to you? Seriously?

 You, sir, have a pair of solid steel grapefruits that would make Stephen
 Colbert jealous.

 4 - Sorry but frankly the very people you want to contribute to this simply
 have better sh*t to do. We all have apps we're working on and likely
 full-time jobs and families and that minor nuisance known as life. Given
 points 1, 2, and 3 there's absolutely no incentive or motivation to move
 anyone to spend time on this.

 This is all meant to be constructive so I hope you take it as such. Good
 luck.

[android-developers] Bluetooth: Can't connect to socket on a linux box

2011-06-09 Thread André Cruz

Hello.

I'm running the Bluetooth Chat example trying to trick it into
connecting to a linux box where I have a service registered with the
UUID of the chat service, but although it finds the service, it never
connects and throws an error:

D/BluetoothChat( 4078): onActivityResult -1

So from the log we can see that the service is found, but for some
reason the connect() fails with errno=EINVAL. I haven't rooted this
Nexus S so I cannot know more about what the native code is doing, but
has anyone encountered this? Connecting to another Android phone
works, of course.

André

Re: [android-developers] ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE not being received

2011-06-09 Thread Kostya Vasilyev

No, I don't mean that launching from Eclipse, in itself, is the problem.

Let me try to clarify:


A widget configuration activity is started by Android when the user begins
creating a widget. It is passed the new widget id it's supposed to
configure.

I have code in one of my widgets that's just like yours, to get the widget
id from the extras, it works without any issues. Don't see anything wrong
with your XML code either.


On the other hand, since your activity has the MAIN/LAUNCHER filter, it can
be started from the app drawer (list of installed applications) or - and
this is where Eclipse comes into play - when you click Start debugging for
your project. In this case, since it's not being started as part of the
widget creation sequence, it won't have the widget id in its extras.


The configuration activity will only have the widget id extra if
it's started as part of the widget creation sequence. So, once you get the
application set up for debugging, switch to the home screen and create your
widget.


OTOH, I see this in your original email: to configure an app when it is
first installed. If you don't mean configuring a home screen widget, then
I'm a bit lost.

2011/6/9 Chris Newton ch...@darfieldearthship.com

 Kostya,

 Thanks for the reply.

 I only added the MAIN/LAUNCHER activity because the app was not receiving
 the CONFIGURE action.  I have only been working with the application using
 the Eclipse environment, and from what you have just said perhaps this is my
 problem?  I will have to try making and installing the app without Eclipse
 in the equation.

 For the time being I have rewritten the app as an activity, and will sort
 out the issues I am experiencing with launching it later (hopefully when I
 have learned more).

 Thanks again,

 Chris

 Chris,

 You have a MAIN/LAUNCHER intent filter for your widget configuration

 This marks it as the entry point into your application, and it will be
 shown in the application drawer (Launcher).

 Is this what you really want?

 If it's launched like this (as opposed to when you go through creating your
 widget on the home screen), it won't have any widget specific action or
 extras.

 Launching for debugging from Eclipse will also start this activity using
 MAIN/LAUNCHER, and it won't have any widget specific stuff either.

 2011/6/5 chris northriverlogho...@gmail.com

 Hello,

 I have been trying to implement an application that uses the
 ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE action to configure an app when it is first
 installed.

 I have been using the discussion at

 http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Configuring
 as a reference to accomplish this.

 The problem is that the onStart() process of the configuration
 activity does not ever receive an ACTION_APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE.  In
 other words the code snippet below always executes finish () because
 it is not a CONFIGURE action being processed.

 Is there a very simple app that demonstrates receiving an ACTION
 event, or is there an obvious problem with what I am doing?

 Thanks,

 Chris Newton

  CODE SNIPPET -

 public class TestConfigure extends Activity {

int appWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

// cause the widget host to cancel out of the widget
 placement if the back button is pressed.
   setResult(RESULT_CANCELED);


   Intent intent = getIntent();
   Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();

   if (extras != null)
   {
 appWidgetId =
 extras.getInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
 AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
   }

  // If they gave us an intent without the widget id, just
 bail.
  if (appWidgetId ==
 AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID)
  {
   finish();
  }

}
 }

Re: [android-developers] Re: Broadcasting custom intent actions to background activities from foreground activity.

Yes only updating when the data has changed is a good approach.  Instead of
a timestamp, I would suggest just using a sequence number that you increment
every time the data has changed.  This technique is used in a lot of places
in Android -- for example to know when the locale cache of the Settings
provider values is out of date, or when dispatching a new Configuration to
determine if it is a newer one than the last one that was handled.

 I guess one way to reduce the number of unnecessary data refreshes is
 once my event occurs, I save a timestamp to my in-memory cache, and
 then every time an activity is added to the stack, it retrieves that
 value and keeps it there. As a result, every time the user generates
 the event, all the other activities below it will check the new
 timestamp in onResume and if the latest one is greater than the one
 the activity has, it refreshes itself and its current timestamp value.
 Also, my app guarantees that this event will occur when it first
 starts up, before it launches its home activity, so there will be a
 timestamp available.

  What makes you think that your activity even exists? Your
  non-foreground activities may not even be in memory, because Android
  may have destroyed them to save RAM.
 
  If you simply update your UI in onResume(), it handles both the

From what I can tell, non-English speakers are chronically
under-served, so perhaps you will determine at that time to create an
Android development resource for some other language. Or, perhaps you

However, if after you have 12-18 months of Android development

I know from personal experience that a few dozen pages will not. As

that's Newton's Fourth Law of Internet Thermodynamics...).

[android-developers] Alternatives to SQLite for static data

2011-06-09 Thread nadam

Say you're reading an xml or json file from within your app (resources/
raw or assets) and then want to show this data to the user and enable
sorting and simple filtering. Of course you can save the data to an
SQLite table and use sql (where and order by), but it seems to be
overkill when dealing with ~30 kB of static data.

Would it be more appropriate to write a custom adapter or are there
other alternatives that you would recommend?

[android-developers] Re: Broadcasting custom intent actions to background activities from foreground activity.

2011-06-09 Thread Diego Tori

That could also work, since it would keep things simple and efficient.
I think this approach makes more sense anyways, since I can fill out
my onResume functions to first check for latest versions of said
number and if it's newer, then invalidate old data, fetch new set, and
populate, or whatever else that needs to be done regarding that new
event.

[android-developers] Re: Fonts on Android, how are they manage by the OS?

2011-06-09 Thread John

The problem with languages (locales) seems to be more related to the
wireless
company than the phone makers.  I recently taught a course on
developing
Android apps, and there were several different phones used by myself
and my
students.  Those who had ATT phones, for example, seemed to have a
lot of
languages preinstalled, but those with Verizon had only two or three
languages.
The situation is likely related to their respective technologies (GSM
versus CDMA;
see http://www.cellutips.com/gsm-vs-cdma-which-one-is-the-best-for-you/)
and their target markets.  My Motorola Droid X (Verizon) for example,
has only
English and Spanish, but during the course I also had access to a
Samsung
Captivate (ATT), and it had a lot of languages preinstalled. In
general one
should always develop using string resources and other techniques so
that the
application could easily be modified to support other locales.

 Hi Parbhakar,

 I bought my first Android phone, Samsung Galaxy S2, some weeks ago, and I've 
 found many bugs in it already which some of are quite fundamental considering 
 usability. Without going to details, are you facing this issue on multiple 
 devices or only the one you're using for development?

 Sorry for not being able to help you with the issue you're facing, just 
 sharing a thought I came up after reading your question.

[android-developers] Start an external activity from a BroadcastReceiver

2011-06-09 Thread Marc

Hello folks,

after googling all the day, I have solution to actually start an
external activity from a receiver.
In the end I added a service to the package, so the receiver starts
the service and the service should start the activity. Of course that
doesn't sound very efficient at all, but in addition to this it
doesn't work either. Thats my code from the service:

public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Intent i = new Intent(android.intent.action.MAIN);
ComponentName n = new
ComponentName(com.schwimmer.android.carmode,
com.schwimmer.android.carmode.ToggleCarMode);
i.setComponent(n);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getApplication().startActivity(i);
//this.stopSelf();

If I put this code into an activity and start it wit
this.startActivity() it works like a charm. But not if it is put into
the receiver or server.

Do you have any idea how to fix that?

Thanks!
Marc

Re: [android-developers] Re: Fonts on Android, how are they manage by the OS?

The initial Xoom was a US-only device, so the other languages were not
needed.  Since that was the first release of Android 3.0, generating all of
the translations would have delayed the product for stuff it didn't need.

It is just going to be a fact of life that different devices will ship with
different languages depending on the places it is being shipped and other
considerations.

Re: [android-developers] Start an external activity from a BroadcastReceiver

You are using hand-written constants all over the place.  The SDK has a
constant for the main action -- Intent.ACTION_MAIN.  There are Intent and
ComponentName constructors to build references to activities through the
Context and their Class.

You don't even need to use ACTION_MAIN if you are just explicitly starting
one of your components.

If you are using getApplication(), then this code will work the same way no
matter where you do it from -- Activity, Service, or Receiver.

There is nothing preventing you from starting an activity from any of these
places, you just need to set Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK if you aren't
launching the activity from an existing activity (since without an activity
you don't have an existing task to launch in to).

It would help if you gave more information -- what errors you are seeing in
the log etc.

Re: [android-developers] Signing application with multiple certificates

You should only sign your app with one cert.  What you want to do can't be
done, sorry.  You should always sign your app with your own cert, not with
different certs.  The cert is the signature of who you are.  If the cert is
different, it is fundamentally a different app.

Fwiw, this is a bad thing that Amazon currently seems to be doing with their
app store -- they are re-signing apps with their own certs, but not changing
the package name.  This is not how Android works and doing that kind of
thing causes problems for developers.

If you have multiple certs, each of those apps should use a different
manifest package name.  You can fairly easily build different versions of
your app with different package names through the --rename-manifest-package
aapt option.  (Though you do need to take some care with it -- for example
if you have a content provider this will leave it with the same authority
name in both apps and thus they can't both be installed on the same device
the same time.)

 Dear Android community,

 I'm having a big problem with the application certificates and I
 haven't found any official info regarding the possibility of signing
 an application with more than one certificate. I have an application

 the same app with the same package name but signed with certificate B.
 The application signed with A comes preinstalled in device X and the
 app signed with B comes preinstalled in device Y.

 Now I need to publish a the app in the Market with the next version.
 How can I publish this update so I don't leave any of my users
 hanging. If i sign the update with certificate A, only users with the
 device X will be able to install the update and the same thing with
 certificate B and device Y.

 I saw some posts from other developers in different forums and groups
 saying that it's possible to sign an apk with two certificates. When I
 try this I get the worst result possible, device X nor device Y can
 install the update.

 Another thing, is it possible to do some kind of device
 differentiation in the Market so users with device X can download one
 app and the users with device Y the other?

 Thank you all in advance. I hope you can help me with this issue.

 Cheers,

[android-developers] Android Proguard - how to keep onClick handlers only referenced from XML layouts

2011-06-09 Thread andrew

In my Android app I ofter don't create a View's on-click handler in
code, but rely on the ability to specify it in the XML layout file,
like this:

   Button

android:onClick=onSearchClicked
   ./

And then have the method in the Activity like this:

public void onSearchClicked( View v ) {
}

Meaning there is no reference to this method in my own code (but maybe
somewhere in the auto-generated stuff by Android build?).

When running Proguard for a production release it seems to remove this
method and the on-click fails.

What can I add to my proguard config file to avoid this that won't
oblige me to rework all these methods?

An annotation I could add to the method and have proguard take notice
of?
Somehow specify these types of methods referenced from xml?
Can you specify a wildcard for the method name and I can adopt some
convention like onClick*?

I suppose I can add a false reference in the code, but would like to
avoid that if I can as I won't always remember to put it in!
I have looked through the proguard examples for Android and can't see
anything for this particular need.

I know I can keep specific ones with something like:

-keepclasseswithmembers class * {
   public void onSearchClicked(android.view.View );
}

but in some Activity I have a lof of these, all with different names,
and a lot across the entire application. Using the above method would
mean any change to my code would require a change to my proguard
configI'm looking for a more generic and robust way.

[android-developers] Re: Alternatives to SQLite for static data

2011-06-09 Thread DanH

Not clear:  Do you want to simply be able to query the data different
ways, or do you want to be able to rearrange the order of the data and
save that?

If you know all the different ways that the data might be queried,
it's a simple matter to build static side tables for them.  If you
want to be able to search for individual values you can statically
or dynamically create a hashtable (or several) over the data.

Of course, none of this really works well with JSON or XML -- you
really need a flat file.  For XML or JSON you're probably better off
reading in all the data and building hashtables over it.

[android-developers] Can onMeasure be skipped when adding a View to a ViewGroup?

2011-06-09 Thread Kelly Merrell

I have a RelativeLayout where I am adding views dynamically as the
user scrolls vertically or horizontally. I have rolled my own
ViewRecycler since there is potentially thousands of views that could
compose the whole of what can be scrolled, but I only show 30 or so at
any time. Think a zoomed in view of a calendar.

I am running into performance problems when I add the views that are
about to be seen, onMeasure is called on the RelativeLayout cascading
down to onMeasure getting called on all of it's child views. I already
have the calculated size of how big the RelativeLayout will ever be
and have set that on it's LayoutParameters, so measuring the ViewGroup
isn't necessary, nor is re-measuring the Views that have already been
added with their final size and the newly added view has no bearing on
those views.

Is there a recommended way to bypass these onMeasure calls or at least
onMeasure calling measureChildren?

Also posted this on stackoverflow with example code to demonstrate the
undesired behavior:

[android-developers] Re: Is there any way I can start activity running in different process using Instrumentation?

2011-06-09 Thread Indicator Veritatis

This is too big a topic for one post. Have you looked at
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/testing/testing_android.html
and 
http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/development/pdk/docs/instrumentation_framework.html?

You are more likely to be pleased with the response you get if you
study those first, and then ask more specific questions about how to
apply those principles to your specific example.

In the meantime, expect to need a separate Instrumentation class for
each process, and if you must communicate between them, well that gets
tricky, but it must be possible.

[android-developers] Re: Alternatives to SQLite for static data

2011-06-09 Thread nadam

Thanks. It's no saving and no search. Just query and display. The
items will be displayed as a ListView and the user can chose two
different ways to sort the list and filter the list based on specific
predefined values.

To be more specific, it's a list of around 60 places that can be
sorted by name alphabetically or sorted based on the distance from
where you are (so some dynamic data too, but no need to save that).
The filtering can be for instance to only show the places that belong
to a specific category.

On 9 Juni, 21:56, DanH danhi...@ieee.org wrote:
 Not clear:  Do you want to simply be able to query the data different
 ways, or do you want to be able to rearrange the order of the data and
 save that?

 If you know all the different ways that the data might be queried,
 it's a simple matter to build static side tables for them.  If you
 want to be able to search for individual values you can statically
 or dynamically create a hashtable (or several) over the data.

 Of course, none of this really works well with JSON or XML -- you
 really need a flat file.  For XML or JSON you're probably better off
 reading in all the data and building hashtables over it.

 I am running into performance problems when I add the views that are

 down to onMeasure getting called on all of it's child views. I already
 have the calculated size of how big the RelativeLayout will ever be

 isn't necessary, nor is re-measuring the Views that have already been
 added with their final size and the newly added view has no bearing on
 those views.

 Is there a recommended way to bypass these onMeasure calls or at least
 onMeasure calling measureChildren?

Why would the Service need to grab anything? The Activity tells the
Service, which the Activity has a reference to, if and when something
changes.

[android-developers] SQLite complex query and handling results

2011-06-09 Thread Emanuele Ricci

Good evening ( for me ), I'm Emanuele a young android developer. 
I want to share with you my problem because I'm not finding a good solution.

I've 3 tables (in reality 5)

posts
categories
posts_categories

to create the many-to-many relation between posts and categories

I've created a ListFragment to show all my posts with their categories.

So I've created this query ( I don't write all the code [image: :)] )

SELECT posts._id, posts.post_title, categories.category_name FROM posts LEFT 
OUTER JOIN posts_categories ON posts_categories.post_id=posts.post_id LEFT 
OUTER JOIN categories ON 
posts_categories.category_id=categories.category_id;

So if I have 2 post with 2 category each that query will return 4 records. 
Am I wrong?
So in my Cursor I have 4 record but what I really need is to collect datas 
from the cursor and display only what I really need.

In this case I cannot use a CursorAdapter to display my data because it will 
insert 4 item in the ListFragment.

And I don't want to load only post and than for each post load categories 
because if I have 100 posts I will do 1 query to select all posts and 100 
query to select categories.


What can I do? I need an expert advice! Which is the best way to handle this 
situation?
Have you ever faced this problem?

Thank you very much. Emanuele Ricci.

Re: [android-developers] Re: webservice php

Why steal a book when there's perfectly good information available all over
the internet?
You need to break your problem into sections.  Like any other program even
written.

First, use some dummy information and don't even worry about fetching it
from the web server.

Then figure out how to handle the click event and how to display your PDF
content.
(That might be your real challenge if you plan on writing your own PDF
reader.)

Once you've figure this out, figure out how to properly pull the information
and substitute the dummy information you used before with this new server
information.

Continue until you have an app you can call your own.

Please put some effort into demonstrating your efforts, you cannot expect us
to do your work for you.

If you need a developer to complete your job I am available, my rates start
at £35 ph (GBP).

Re: [android-developers] Re: webservice php

Yeah, also if this is for some sort of oversea dev firm.  Please leave the
development to competent American programmers and refuse the work if you are
unable to do it well.
It's bad enough that good jobs are going overseas, but the fact that it's
being done by incompetent programmers is even worse.

[android-developers] Re: New added folder to app

2011-06-09 Thread KC203

Apart from asset and raw is there no way i can define my own folder
and try reading files from it ???
I mean , adding an additional folder and reading using relative path
seems to be very complicated

On Jun 9, 3:16 pm, Miguel Morales therevolti...@gmail.com wrote:
 Ah, then try checking: file:///android_asset
 I *believe* this gets converted in the app to the path of your resource
 folder.

Re: [android-developers] Re: EditText stops displaying characters as I'm typing?

2011-06-09 Thread Fred Niggle

What happens if you re-assign it for example:
EditText ed=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
ed.setText(xnumber);

and simple re-load the .setText ?

Just a thought?

Is there any other widget available to give the impression like nested

I was able to create nested tab activity but sometime it get crashed
like showing dialog from the child activity of the nested tab activity

 No it is not.  There is only one level of nesting of activities.
