[android-developers] Re: FLAG_ONEWAY for asynchronous communication between services
A oneway interface currently only applies when an IPC is needed to go through the interface -- that is when the callee and caller are running in different processes -- and is handled by Binder, the low-level IPC transport. When two interfaces are in the same process, calls on them are just direct function calls into the other object, so there is no way to introduce asynchronicity. I'd like to do the user-space work to allow for async local interfaces, but don't know when that may happen. In the meantime, what we generally do is use a Handler on the receiving side to schedule the work in another thread so that all calls into the object are async.

[android-developers] Re: Notification details Activity never receives Intent used to fire it
It may or may not be the right thing to do. If you are not going to use the
old intent, you should just use FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT to first cancel the
existing one so it can be replaced with your new one.

Ok, so I ran into this exact issue too. I need to send different data
via the extras of the intent, but the old intent with the old extras
keeps getting delivered unless I pass unique values into the
mysterious requestCode parameter.
So this begs the question: is using the requestCode in this way
kosher? Is there a better way?
BTW, I'm using PendingIntents for alarms and notifications.

And to further clear up my intentions:
I have a model class called Event. It represents user activity in
my
system (such as rating items or writing messages). These events are
delivered to the user through NotificationManager. For every such
event, the NM calls Event.toNotification() and delivers the
notification.
Furthermore, I have an activity called EventDetailsActivity. This is
triggered whenever the user taps on the notification to read the
event
info in full length. This implies primarily two things:
1. I must be able to pass an Event model object to
EventDetailsActivity whenever the user taps the corresponding
notification
2. I must be able to reuse EventDetailsActivity even it is already
displaying another event (e.g. update it via onNewIntent())
Thus, in Event.toNotification(), I do this:
public final Notification toNotification(Context context) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context,
EventDetailsActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(event, this);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
configureIntent(intent); // template method for subclasses
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity
(context,
requestCode++, intent, 0);
Notification notification = new Notification
(getNotificationIcon(),
getTickerText(), getDate().getTime());
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, getTitle(), getText
(),
contentIntent);
return notification;
}
Hope that clears up my intentions.

As Guillaume suggested, I solved the problem by calling
getActivity()
like this:
private static int requestCode;

pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, requestCode++, intent, 0)
and now everything works as expected. As for the intent itself, I
instantiated it using FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK and
FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP.

This is probably the relevant part: 3.3 You may also choose to distribute Products for free. If the Product is free, you will not be charged a Transaction Fee. You may not collect future charges from users for copies of the Products that those users were initially allowed to download for free. This is not intended to prevent distribution of free trial versions of the Product with an upsell option to obtain the full version of the Product: Such free trials for Products are encouraged. However, if you want to collect fees after the free trial expires, you must collect all fees for the full version of the Product through the Payment Processor on the Market. In this Agreement, free means there are no charges or fees of any kind for use of the Product.

The certificate you use to sign your package is your identity as a developer; if you change it, you have turned this into another application that has no trust with the original application, and thus can not be used to update the original. The previous one must be uninstalled and re-installed. As such, you MUST follow the documented steps for creating your own certificate, and never change that certificate.

To summarize my previous post :
I've found the intents that allow my application to be launched when I
click on the contact icon from android. So now it prompts me to choose
between the standard contact app an my contact app, with a option to
set my app to be the default one. When I set this option and launch my
app, I got the error above.
What I could see :
It seems that the standard contact app is launched prior to mine
whereas both of them respond to the SAME intents. It also seems that
it requested my application to run in the same process
android.process.acore. I know I could not make it to run using the
process.acore for security reason, and anyway I wan't my app to run in
its own process.
My questions are then :
Is it the normal behavior that one could expect when two applications
respond to the same intents ?
Why would an application be launched prior to the other one that
respond to the same intents ?
Thanks for help, I really have no more idea of how I could resolve
this .

[android-developers] Re: For modular requirement
A good way to do this is publish it as a service in another .apk, which you can query the package manager for and bind to. This isn't really a true plug-in though (a service is a global singleton in the system, and you'll nee to define a .aidl interface to it so it can run in another process). Another approach is to put your plug-in into another .apk, publish it in the manifest however you want, find the .apk with the Package Manager, and then use Context.createApplicationContext() with the flag to load the code. From there you can get the ClassLoader for the other .apk and instantiate classes. If you do the latter though you really need to be aware of what you are doing: this has all kinds of security implications for you, can have problems if code ends up running as different uids, etc. This is best for the situation where you provide all of the plug-ins, so you can sign them with the same certificate and use a shared user ID for all of them as well as the main application.

[android-developers] Re: call to determine current context?
There is no current context, you need to explicitly pass it in. Having a concept of a current concept is very problematic in the face of multiple embedded activities inside of each others and thus calls going arbitrarily back and forth between them.

[android-developers] Re: SharedPreferences problem
It means multiple processes, as per: http://code.google.com/android/intro/appmodel.html What may be happening is that you are writing the new shared preferences at the same time as the system kills the process, so the file write is not completed, and the next time it is read it is unable to parse the truncated file. So you should only write the shared preferences at a time when you know the system is keeping your application around -- in onReceiveIntent(), a service, as part of the activity lifecycle, etc. On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 9:13 PM, joshv [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What exactly do the docs mean when they say 'multiple processes'. Do they mean different threads in the same application? Or do they mean for example a background service accessing a shared preference file at the same time a foreground process is accessing the same shared preference file? I am having intermittent issues with one of my apps loosing it's shared preferences. My app uses threads to keep the UI responsive, and I just figured I had some sort of synchronization issue with saving preferences. But no, I've locked down the critical sections with synchronized blocks and still, very rarely, my app will lose it's preferences. It usually seems to happen when the app is killed by the OS, or by the debugger, normal resume/pause events never result in loosing the preferences. But again it's intermittent. I have another app that's never lost it's preferences - but it's not multi-threaded. -josh On Nov 19, 1:55 pm, Dianne Hackbod [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [snip...] I'm not sure I follow your reasoning -- if you are saying that your application is all running in one process, why do you think the whole caveat about not supporting multiple processes even applies?

It was my understanding that even when a task is killed, the onPause is called before the process is terminated - is that not the case? Can the process be killed in the middle of the onPause() processing? Perhaps this is a debugger only phenomenon? There is nothing called before the process is terminated, if you are thinking of it as the system thinks it needs to kill something, so politely asks it to get ready and then kills it. What actually happens it that onPause is called when the system is going to put the process in a background state, and from there at whatever point the system needs to get rid of the process it will just kill it, no questions asked. While onPause() is running, the process is in a foreground state, so it will not be killed unless the system is so low on memory it needs to kill that process to continue to have memory for the core system processes... which should only happen if the app is just using all of the available memory so that not even background things can run. Basically never for non-buggy apps. However, your process can get killed if you are installing an update to it, because the first thing the system does is cleanup and kill all existing code of the process before installing the update. We should probably do something to make this a little more clean for users installing updates. And this same thing happens every time you run your app from eclipse, since all it is really doing is telling the system to update to your current version of the app. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.

of the local implementation). This object will be the same every time you
receive the interface.
On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 1:04 PM, DulcetTone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I have found it convenient to make AIDL interfaces in pairs -- one for
how the client calls the server, and one by which a server can call
back into the client. However, I find that the design of the Proxy/
Stub model (which I confess I don't fully grasp) causes me issues in
the method I use to have a client identify itself.
I have calls in the server interface where the client hands in a
reference to its CLIENT interface (which is convenient, as they are
all Parcelable). If the server ever decides it wants to call back to
the client, it simply calls methods on this interface. HOWEVER...
each time an interface is handed in to the server, it arrives in
server space as a new stub -- there is no means by which they can be
compared against each other and so each client appears new and
distinct every time it calls a function on the server.
Is there any way I can see which of these interfaces are for the same
client, or do I have to code up my own Parcelable class that has a
unique hash of some kind? For instance, do instances of the same
interface already HAVE a hash function on them that would return the
same value?
e,g.: if I do this...
ServiceConnection serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder
service)
{
myService =
IMyService.Stub.asInterface((IBinder)service);
try {
myService.registerClient(myClientInterface);
myService.doubleCheckThatClientHandle(myClientInterface);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
}
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
myService = null;
}
};
and the server's implementation of registerClient() and
doubleCheckThatClientHandle() examine the client interface, there is
no way for it to easily see that the same client is being referred to.
I suppose the lightest weight fix might be for the service to return a
unique GUID when a client registers, and map them on its side. The
client, in turn, could provide that GUID each time it wants to
identify itself on subsequent function calls.
I hope this makes sense.

[android-developers] Re: Including SQLite database with application
Your best option is to copy it to the SD card. I don't see any chance if supporting SQLite on an database embedded in a .apk any time soon. Ignoring whatever issues there are in SQLite just to do this kind of thing, I wouldn't want to count on Android 3.x running who knows what later version of SQLite being able to operate on a SQLite database from 1.0 without being able to do some kind of upgrade process on it. Also, just to start to be able to support this, you would need to store the database in your .apk without compression. If you take the approach of copying it to the SDCard, you can keep it in the .apk as a normal compressed file, which I would bet would make it significantly smaller (the SQLite database format is almost certainly designed for efficient access and not optimal size). As far as app installers go, this is something we actually have deliberately avoided. In our current implementation, a person can turn off a .apk and the system will behave as if it never existing, and you can later turn it on and it will come back as you left it. I would be strongly opposed to anything that broke that model. Doing dependency tracking, so that if you install app A you will also get app B that it needs, is another issue, and something we will certainly address hopefully sooner rather than later, though most of that will probably be in the Market.

If you were to write a Windows application, and you were to distribute a pre-populated database, you would bundle the database in the application installer (.EXE, .MSI) and would install it to your targeted location. If the user elected to hold onto the application installer, you would have the same scenario as with Android and the APK: two copies of the database (master in the installer, working copy outside it).

That way, you can still have an executable JAR. Here, again, you would have the same scenario as with Android and the APK: two copies of the database (master in the JAR, working copy outside it). So, it's not like the Android model is singularly unusual. It's not optimal, particularly for the tiny number of applications shipping large databases with their apps, but it's not preposterous, either. Now, don't get me wrong. It'd be nice if there were a higher-order packaging option beyond the APK -- something that could bundle and install one or more APKs plus other files (e.g., databases), after which the meta-package could get deleted. This would solve a bunch of problems, not the least of which could be the issue of APK dependencies (e.g., Application X requires Remote Service Y, which might already be installed via some other app). However, I'm not terribly shocked that it's not in Android 1.0r1.

On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 6:10 AM, Pankaj Munjal [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote:
Hello folks,
I have implemented a JNI layer for communication between the Android
Java Application and Android Native C code.
However, we are facing issues with IPC in this JNI layer.
I tried the following IPC approaches:
1. Socket in JNI layer: C Sockets to communicate with the underlying C
based processes.
I get an error in bind().
Sample code:
fd_recv_es = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);
if (0 fd_recv_es)
{
return (FAILURE);
}
bzero(es_recv_addr, sizeof(es_recv_addr));
es_recv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
es_recv_addr.sin_port = htons(self_port);
es_recv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(self_ip.str);
memset((es_recv_addr.sin_zero), '\0', 8);
if ( -1 == bind( fd_recv_es,(struct sockaddr*)(es_recv_addr),
sizeof(struct sockaddr_in))) // Fails here
{
return (FAILURE);
}
2. Message Q in JNI layer: Linux based message queue to communicate
with the underlying C based processes.
I get an error in creating the
message queue.
Sample Code:
struct my_msgbuf buf;
int msqid, i;
key_t key;
if ((key = ftok(/data/IPC/dummy, 'B')) == -1)
{
perror(ftok);
exit(1);
}
if ((msqid = msgget(key, 0644 | IPC_CREAT)) == -1) // Fails
here
{
perror(msgget);
exit(1);
}
Both these approaches work perfectly fine when I use them in an
Android C executable,
and we are getting this problem only when we use them in a JNI DLL.
The linking command for the building JNI DLL is:
ALIB := $(NDK_BASE)/toolchain/arm-eabi/lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.2.1/
libgcc.a
$(CC) -nostdlib -Wl,-soname,libApp.so -Wl,-shared,-Bsymbolic
-L$(NDK_BASE)/lib $^ $(LIBS) -o libApp.so -Wl,--no-undefined
$(ALIB)
Has anyone faced a similar issues with IPC(with C executables) in JNI
layer?
Also, are there are some other flags required for building a JNI DLL
that I've missed out on.
Any pointers in this direction shall be really helpful.
Thanks,
Pankaj

The call button starts an activity, it doesn't send a broadcast, as
described in the doc. (Yes this is inconsistent with the camera button and
the camera button should probably be changed.)

Hi,
I cant get this to work. I am trying this for the CALL_BUTTON and on
the emulator.
Added the lines below to my manifest.
Created the MyReceiver class just like you do here.
Then trying to register the receiver in OnCreate:
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter
(android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON);
Intent intnt = registerReceiver(mCallButtonIntentReceiver,
filter);
intnt always return null.
What am I doing wrong here ?

[android-developers] Re: TabActivity vs VideoView vs Camera Preview contention
There could well be a bug here, nobody has done this kind of thing as far as I know, and the code for handling a SurfaceView is quite complicated and could easily have bugs in this area. So feel free to file a bug. That said, I can't make any promises about this being addressed any time soon, as there are probably many features and bugs that at this point have a significantly higher priority. If it is something that someone really wants to have fixed, the best way to get a result on it would probably be to debug the platform and submit a patch to fix it. :} (Which I know is asking a lot, because this IS very tricky code.)

Yes, this is the way to monitor for content provider changes.

[android-developers] Re: Foreign Language support/Adding new system fonts
Sorry, at this point applications can't add new system fonts, they can only use custom fonts in their own app. We don't even have a font picker, which I think would be the thing to do before allowing new fonts to be added. :) On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 4:19 PM, Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can new system fonts be added to Android? Can applications refer to them? Several threads have addressed this, but I can't find a complete answer. The only method I have found to change system fonts is with adb push.

(no adb, no hacking disk images). Can an app install a system font? I'm writing an app that needs foreign language support which is not currently part of Android. I'm especially interested in Koine (New Testament) Greek. Modern Greek is kind of supported, but Koine has a lot more diacritical marks (for example: Εν ἀρχῆ ἦν ὁ λόγος will not display correctly in Android). I can include a font with my application. However this limits it's use to only my app. Adding a good unicode font can add several 100k to my app, which makes it many times bigger than entire rest of the app. This is a waste, especially if more than one app wants to use the font.

// Update previously selected tab to

[android-developers] Re: ::CPU usage
You really can't judge performance based on the emulator. Ignoring the CPU emulation, there is no emulation of the memory bus, it doesn't do any graphics hardware acceleration, etc. Ultimately you need to do development on a real device, that is the only way to know how your application is actually going to behave.

Alas, I don't think it is possible, unless you fancy getting your hands dirty in the Android source code. You need the activity that is managing the tabs to be an ActivityGroup if you want one or more tabs to contain Intent-launched activities. The only such class is TabActivity. Similarly, AFAIK, you need to use MapActivity for your MapView to work. Your only hope is to get the Android source code for TabActivity and MapActivity and attempt to merge them yourself to create TabbedMapActivity, so you can have an ActivityGroup subclass that implements both tabbing and mapping behavior. Having written a section in Version 1.9 of my book on using Intent-based tabs in a TabActivity, I confess as to having no real good idea why anyone would want to use one. The only scenario I can see is if you need something that can be run independently as an activity *and* appear as a tab in another activity...but that can be solved just by separating those smarts out into a separate Java class and reusing the logic in both spots. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support.

[android-developers] Re: How to send email programmatically?
Btw, you can probably get away with doing this with little to no platform changes at all, by defining an intent protocol that is similar to the existing one but doesn't require presenting a UI. There are still some important security, user interaction, and management issues that would need to be addressed though, such as what to do with multiple e-mail apps with multiple accounts. Anyway, the point is that this is an open source project.

It's possibly due to the application, but I really don't know enough about what you are doing to help any more.

Well I should qualify that -- you can always show a toast, which will temporarily overall all application windows and can't receive any input.

[android-developers] Re: my custom Parcelable jams on cross-process read
I don't see a problem off-hand, though you didn't include your CREATOR
object. We do this kind of thing extensively in the system.
On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 9:42 AM, DulcetTone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
using SDK r1
I have a Parcelable I am passing successfully in an AIDL call from a
Service to the Activity that launched the Service, but which jams on
the first parcel.readString() through the same AIDL call to a
different Activity.
Here is my interface's AIDL:
package com.me;
import com.me.MyParcelable;
oneway interface IMyCallbackInterface {
void localInput(in MyParcelable p);
}
---
Here are the boilerplate elements of MyParcelable:
private MyParcelable(Parcel in) {
G.debug(read has size + in.dataSize() + , avail is +
in.dataAvail());
mString = in.readString();
G.debug(read string ' + s + ');
G.debug(read has leftover + in.dataAvail());
}
public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags) {
G.debug(write string ' + mString + ' into parcel that
already has
+ out.dataSize());
out.writeString(mString);
G.debug(wrote + out.dataSize());
}
In the first case, where a Service calls localInput() to the Activity
that launched it, I get the following debug output and sane operation:
12-09 01:11:58.246: INFO/System.out(1054): write string '' into parcel
that already has 100
12-09 01:11:58.256: INFO/System.out(1054): wrote 108
12-09 01:11:58.266: INFO/System.out(1048): read has size 108, avail is
8
12-09 01:11:58.286: INFO/System.out(1048): read sender ''
12-09 01:11:58.286: INFO/System.out(1048): read has leftover 0
In the second case, where the same Service calls the function on an
Activity other than the one that launched it, I get the following
debug output, and the readString() apparently never fires off despite
the fact that there appears to be the same conditions -- 108 bytes of
data, and 8 available before the readString() is called.
12-09 01:16:15.416: INFO/System.out(1054): write string '' into parcel
that already has 100
12-09 01:16:15.416: INFO/System.out(1054): wrote 108
12-09 01:16:15.566: INFO/System.out(1091): read has size 108, avail is
8
program seems to wedge here... no further output from my code
results
Obviously, my question is: why is this not working?
I am going to try changing the interface from a oneway to a general
one. I'm stumped, otherwise.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

There is no JVM scheduler, Linux does all of the thread scheduling. The scheduler we use in Linux does normally use time slicing between threads.

[android-developers] Re: Optional Permissions
I don't think the answer is that it's absolutely not how we want it to work, but as of today you are granted all permissions you request at install time. It is certainly possible for the user to be able to pick which permissions they want to grant at install time, I actually had a change I was doing to allow for this at the package manager level, but never had time to finish it. Even so, just adding the facility raises more questions than it answers: how to you modify the current permissions UI to allow for this without making things even more confusing for the user, how to you give the user a facility to change this decision later on in some kind of way most users can understand, etc. There maybe are a few things that are more desireable and understandable to the user, such as getting location information, that could be done as a special case. Again, I've answered questions about this, and have not said we don't want it done, but it just isn't a high priority for us to work on right now vs. a number of other things. Btw I realize that IRC is a favorite thing for discussion on open source projects, but a lot of the android engineers find it to be much more of a distraction than it is worth, so I would suggest not drawing significant conclusions from any discussion there. :) You are much more likely to have more people involved in such discussions on the android-platform/android-framework/etc groups.

What I'd like to do is have a button in the app that they could click on, the app would check to see if it had that permission, and if it didn't popup a dialog box to ask the user if they want to give that permission, and only continue if they agreed, and disable that feature if they don't want to. Obviously this would have to be built into the framework for it to work, but is it there now? Is there a way to grant an application additional permissions after it is installed?
