discoverPeers(). But the intent is not being generated for 
peers_changed_action. I did everything i could and read every link in web.

[android-developers] With security keyguard active transition between activities is weird

[Teo [GD API Guru]]

Hi,

maybe someone has an idea, i'm looking for an answer for ages but no luck.


I have my main activity A and when the user presses a button i open another 
activity B. But when this happens B doesn't just appear on top of A:
- A disappears
- secure keyguard shows up
- B appears

And when i get rid of B the same thing happens. This is annoying because 
there's a lot of flickering with no real purpose on the screen. Is there 
any way to achieve direct transition from A to B while keyguard is active 
without merging the 2 activities into 1?
Thanks,
Teo

Re: [android-developers] ContentProvider contains dirty data from a previous JUnit test

[Code Guru]

In this case, I am testing the activities of my app with
ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2. (I also have tests for the
ContentProvider using ProviderTestCase2.) The two tests that I outlined
earlier are for the data entry activity. I want to verify that the data
entered is inserted into the underlying database. The Activity inserts the
data via `getContentResolver.insert()`. The test case then opens the
database directly to assert that the data is there. How would I use a
MockContentProvider and/or other mock objects to perform this kind of
testing?

 As I read your reply, I'm confused now about what's being tested.  Are you

 and use an Application test case, as you get direct control of when its
 created or destroyed.

 Sometimes its hard to do, but the goal in testing is to isolate the
 components and build known conditions around them.

Re: [android-developers] ContentProvider contains dirty data from a previous JUnit test

[Code Guru]

The `ContentProvider` is created indirectly by calling
`getContentResolver()` from inside a method of the `Activity` under test. I
will have to look into using `ApplicationTestCase` as you suggest.


On Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 11:44 PM, Danny D daniel.m.dev...@gmail.com wrote:

 Is the object instance for the content provider different between test
 runs? How are you destroying and recreating the ContentProvider?

 I suspect that if the Application instance is the same between test runs
 the ContentProvider might be too.  It's created at the Application level
 through the manifest, so you may need to use an ApplicationTestCase or
 something similar to be sure that the App instance is killed and restarted
 between tests.

[android-developers] Unable to create new android application

[Stu Guru]

First post ever..

I am running os x mountain lion and very recently downloaded and installed 
adt 21. I have previously had eclipse juno and helios installed as well as 
old versions of the SDK.

Issue:
Create a new android application project using the wizard, tick/untick 
various options or leave all defaults - no matter what I do, when I get to 
the last step and click Finish, the wizard does not close, an empty shell 
of a project is created with no files (only directories) and ADT starts 
chewing memory. I managed to create an empty project from the command line, 
however when I edit code in ADT I get no code autocomplete.

I have spent the last 2 days trying various things including:
1) removing all traces of previous eclipse installations and plugins 
(including files in ~/Library, ~.android, ~.eclipse keyring, .metadata in 
my workspace) then re-installing ADT.
2) Removing components of the android SDK and re-installing (both from 
command line and from within eclipse (ADT)
3) I have even created a brand new user and installed the ADT on that 
account. 



I'm sort of desperate now, anybody have any ideas please?

My configuration:
java version 1.6.0_37
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)
ADT: v21.0.1-543035
OS: 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)
I am the computer administrator

Thanks

Stu

 No. And please do not assume that using the intent you posted will

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

You have most of it. Just add a call to the JavaScript function from
your code like this:

mWebView.loadUrl(javascript:bookBtn();) ;

That will fire the function just like if you did it in the address bar
of a browser.

Mark Murphy has this method documented in one of his books (http://
commonsware.com/). You might shell out for a subscription. Well worth
it.

[android-developers] Re: Call a WebView javascript function from the activity?

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

If you're having trouble debugging the JavaScript and HTML portion of
your webview, you can always load that portion in a browser and use
the standard debugging tools it provides to reveal errors. The
debugging capabilities of webview are pretty limited. Do check your
logs for JavaScript errors though, some show there, although they are
more cryptic than we are used to seeing in the browser console.

[android-developers] Re: Unique ID for a device: why aren't devices certified Android-compliant?

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

A perfect use case for wanting a unique id is for trial software or
simply keeping track of settings.

Say for instance you have an app that has settings that are stored on
a server. If the user uninstalls the app, then at a later date
reinstalls it, those settings can be reinstated if there is a way to
identify the device. The ANDROID_ID is really nice because it doesn't
require any permissions to do so and it keeps the user relatively
anonymous.

[android-developers] Re: Dev Console profile edit page??

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

I've been working with Google's API's and things since 2005 and have
never encountered the level of technical competence that's been
demonstrated with the Android market. It's as if a person with zero
experience developing systems is at the wheel of this project. If it
were me doing these things, I'd quit and try and join the forest
service, although they wouldn't have me because of fear I'd burn the
woods down tripping over a lantern while peeing.

The scenarios I envision for the market are as follows:

1. A person with great power at Google is responsible for the Android
market and everyone is afraid to tell him/her they are screwing the
pooch.

2. The Android people just don't give a rat's behind about the market.

3. This is a grand experiment to see just how far the developer
community can be pushed before we storm the Googleplex with torches
and pitch forks.

I'm inclined to believe #1 as I think the people who work on Android
that I've met and had dealing with so far seem genuinely concerned and
dedicated to making this platform a success. #3 does seem to be a
possibility. Perhaps this part of someone's dissertation.

[android-developers] Re: How should I design questionnaire on android?

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

Why would you need an app to implement this? A simple web page would
work just as well, be easier to maintain and also work on virtually
any device, including iPhone, Android, tablets and those devices where
the market wasn't installed. If you wanted to limit the questionnaire
to just Android devices, you could check the agent.

I guess a better question would be: Why try and kill a gnat with a
sledgehammer?

[android-developers] Re: Battery consumption / LocationListener update intervals

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

I don't think you'll see much difference between zero seconds and 2
seconds in regard to battery life. The device has to turn on and off
the GPS radio for the 2 second interval or just leave it on for zero
seconds. GPSStatusListener probably won't make a difference.

I suggest testing it yourself if you really need to know.

It's just disabled on the device itself. The carrier can still track
you if they want or have a warrant to do so. There's no way except
turning the device off or sticking the thing in a Faraday cage to stop
that.

As another poster mentioned, if you don't want to be tracked, just

[android-developers] Re: Android Market Rank

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

Market rank can change depending on a number of factors such as
country, carrier and even device. I've seen differences of as much as
20 positions depending on device alone. Country can really wreck havoc
on position as the market filters out apps that aren't permitted for
that area.

I'm curious as to why the permissions for this app requires the
following permissions:

READ SENSITIVE LOG DATA
READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY

I wouldn't even consider downloading this app with these permissions.
Why read the log? Why do you have to know the phone state and
identity? Sounds a bit suspicious to me. Please explain these
requirements.

I see the same thing. If it is indeed the case, shortly I'll be seeing
a bunch of one star comments in different languages. Our weather app

Mexico. I'll post back if that's the case.

 When I unselect the default All Countries option, and then select

 This anomalous behavior is not unique to selecting the U.S.; selecting

 Has anyone else seen this behavior? This functionality worked as

 I am running on Windows XP Professional, and I see this behavior both

[android-developers] Re: In app billing...

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

 I believe being able to provide refunds is important. When you go to a 
 real-world store

Since a user upgrading to a pro version isn't buying anything
tangible, it's more like going into a donut shop, buying a donut and
eating it. How many consumers ask for refunds at that point? Under
some circumstances, a refund is called for but not in the same way as
a consumer returning an unopened package that can be resold.

To me, issuing a refund for a software product is only to be done
under some unusual circumstance not because of buyer remorse. The
donut has been eaten and that's that.

[android-developers] Re: In app billing...

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

 It's the right to use the software in a certain way, to repeatedly...

In my business, I have a stated policy of No refunds under any
circumstances. I've had this policy for over 30 years and it has
served me well. I have the policy stated in several places and so far,
it hasn't been a problem. If you state this clearly then it shouldn't
be an issue with the consumers. Sure, you may scare away a few by
having this policy but the end result is less complaining and
customers who are more likely to be satisfied. I see no reason to
change this policy with apps. Besides, we're talking a couple of
dollars per transaction. It's not like they're choosing between buying
your $2 item or paying their rent.

Personally, I think the unmanaged in-app purchase would be ideal for a
subscription service for my app. I'll have to do a lot of work to get
this going but I'll finally have something to offer the nearly 800,000
users who have my app on their device. Sure, there are going to be
pitfalls and also bugs but I see this as very positive development for
Android.

[android-developers] Re: Problems With Admob AdWhirl eCPM Very Low

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

Another issue with ads on mobile devices are the mobile consumables
better known as rip-off ads. They're for quizzes, ringtones and other
things that end up as a charge on your carrier bill. They constitute
about 60% of ad revenue and are just horrible. A large percentage of
the rest aren't family friendly and could cause problems with your
user base.

Now that we're looking at in-app billing, there are a bunch of
potential ways to make money that we didn't have last week. You can
have people download your free version and then subscribe to the
pro version. I think this is the way to go with revenue generation
from an app.

[android-developers] Re: Reducing 1 star ratings for IM; strategies

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

My main app Radar Now! couldn't possibly be simpler. You just start
the app and that's it. Even with its simplicity, I still get one star
ratings that claim doesn't work or my favorite sux. There will
always be the dolt who can't figure out how to screw in a light bulb
and consequently claims it doesn't work. You'll just to accept that
and move on. Just try to make all instructions understandable by the
lowest common denominator and you should have less problems.

One thing that might help is a new rating system for apps where device
owners have to read some simple instructions and answer three
questions. If they can't get at least one right, then they get a
rating of imbecile and are prevented from seeing apps that have
omit imbeciles.

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

I would be wary of the Chinese companies, you have no control over
what they do and payment would be problematic. Most of the others are
legitimate and offer an alternative to the somewhat quirky Android
market. The issue isn't the companies offering these services, it's
one of being in a small niche. Most mobile users depend on the market
that came with their device. Only a handful of people will go outside
the standard market to look for apps.

[android-developers] Can't disable keyguard anymore

Hi,

has something changed in the latest OS update (Android 2.2.1, Nexus
One) about disabling keyguards? I have an app that has an alarm
feature and wakes up the phone + disables the keyguard; the keyguard
disabling doesn't happen anymore. Here's what i'm doing:

private final void unlockScreen() {
final KeyguardManager km = ((KeyguardManager)
getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE));
if (km.inKeyguardRestrictedInputMode()) {
  final KeyguardLock kl = km.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
  kl.disableKeyguard();
}
  }

  private final void wakeScreen() {
final boolean dim = sPref.getBoolean(Config.ALARM_DIM, false);
final PowerManager.WakeLock wl = ((PowerManager)
getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE))
.newWakeLock((dim ? PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK
: PowerManager.SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK)
| PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP, TagToDoWake);
wl.acquire();
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
wl.release();
  }
}, 2);

And i'm calling them in this order:
wakeScreen();
unlockScreen();

Thanks,
Teo

[android-developers] Re: Proposal to Market Place

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

...did you know you can download your app, rate it and comment it
under your google market account ?

A far better use for this tactic is to answer negative comments with a
preface like Developer Comment: I've tested the app completely on the
XYZ and it works perfectly. or something to that effect. That way you
show any potential users that you care about the comments and are
actively engaged, plus the obvious fact that the thing does in fact
work on the XYZ in spite of the 1 star jerk's comment.

As for feedback from users, I suggest making it very easy for them by
supplying a method for them to simply click a button/link/whatever in
side the app to contact you directly. That's what I do and have
received extremely valuable suggestions and bug reports and questions
from people having some sort of difficulty. The easier you make it for
your users to interact with you, the better their experience will be.
Isn't that the entire point?

[android-developers] Re: Pubish: Target phones with fast hardware.

[Dutch Android Guru]

What i need is target hardware like Memory, CPU, and OpenGL 2.

I read a comment on this article
http://androinica.com/2010/05/12/dear-google-please-let-android-developers-target-their-apps-for-specific-devices/

I really like this comment:

*The problem here is not (and should never be) fixed by blocking specific
devices. If anything, because the list of devices will soon be too large for
a single person to handle. *
*
It should be handled by requiring the correct hardware, if the Market
doesn't already support that. Barcode Scanner, for example, could require
auto-focus camera (there are already means for requiring a camera, for
example; we just need a requirement for auto-focus). Raging Thunder 2 should
ask for OpenGL ES 2, or a certain amount of VRAM, or whatever.

*
*tl;dr the Market needs many improvements, but blacklisting or whitelisting
devices is a horrible solution. Check for hardware capabilities.***
*
*
Basically android already supports this partially with the uses-feature in
the xml manifest. However there should be more support for the hardware
types i mentioned.

So: How should i do it now? And how is this going to be supported in the
future?
My only option now is to detect it on startup and give an alert box to the
user that it doesnt work on their phone.
However then my whole sale-model is ruined.

2010/11/20 DutchAndroidGuru dutchandroidg...@gmail.com

 I have an application that loads a 3dmodel and renders it. These
 models are rather big and i can only get it to work fast on faster
 hardware phones such as the Nexus One. However there is no way to
 target faster hardware phones.
 Now i get very good ratings (on phones where it work) and very bad
 rating (on slow phones).

 Also: i would like to know the phone type when a user comments. In
 this way i can test it and check whether the user had a valid point or
 not.
 Could you please add this? Same for error reports.

I'll bet it works a lot like electronic car compasses. The one I have
in my truck (GMC) is fairly accurate but once in a great while it goes
nuts. To recalibrate the thing the manual instructs to drive in a
circle slowly. If it still doesn't work right, drive in a figure 8
slowly. Don't know why it works but it does.

[android-developers] App comment spam

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

I've noticed that a lot of comments on top apps are from comment
spammers. When is something going to be done about this market wide
problem? There are probably less than 20 of these users who hit
virtually every top app with comment spam. My app is getting hit every
single day by these people. It's really getting annoying.

[android-developers] Re: Do you spend any time sending DMCA notices

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

I sent one recently to Appbrain. They sent me an e-mail suggesting
that someone was trying to claim my apps on their site. It seemed to
me to be a spammy  attempt to get me to sign up on their site and pay
them for app promotion. Here's the text: (redacted)

**
Hello USNaviguide LLC,
bogus e-mail@gmail.com requested to claim ownership of your apps on
www.appbrain.com, the online Android app directory.

Claiming your app gives access to the advanced AppBrain stats, and to
AppBrain's free and paid promotion services. Please click this link to
claim your developer account on AppBrain:

http://www.appbrain.com/verify_dev?d=redacted
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Mathijs Vogelzang,
AppBrain team

**

This unscrupulous marketing tactic prompted me to ask them to remove
my apps from their site. When they wouldn't do that, I filed a DMCA
notice which got them to do it.

SInce then, I've noticed app comment spam like this:

by Dylan (October 13, 2010)
Great App! Search for more free apps at www.redacted.com

The site is always a parked domain using Google AdSense for domains
but the kicker is the primary result in the ads is always Appbrain.
This leads me to believe that Appbrain is spamming comments to promote
their questionable site. I've seen this app spam in one form or
another on dozens of popular apps.

As far as I know, there is no way to stop such unscrupulous marketing
tactics nor is there a way to remove or block these appbrain spammers
from continuing this spammy marketing campaign.

[android-developers] Re: Do you spend any time sending DMCA notices

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

To me, that appbrain e-mail smacked of a scam to get me to sign up
with their site and a come-on for paid promotion of my app. Plus, the
e-mail address they had as the one who was trying to claim my app was
bogus. The additional facts that the app comment spam implicates
appbrain in spamming dozens of apps to promote their site shows
immoral business practices.

How many others have had their app continuously spammed by these
AdSense for domains comments? Don't you find it curious that Appbrain
is always the primary advertiser? It appears as if Appbrain is a scam
and a source of spam. Not only have they been spamming comments in
apps but also spamming developers in a bid to solicit paid promotion.

The only conclusion I can come to is appbrain is run by people who are
trying their best to scam money out of developers and generate traffic
by spam and other unscrupulous methods. Appbrain is basically no
different than a pirate site in that they are using dishonest methods
to profit off the hard work of developers.

Developers should demand their apps be removed from Appbrain's scam
site.

  how to do it.

 As I wrote in my previous message:

 Use requestLocationUpdates() to arrange to have location updates
 delivered to your BroadcastReceiver.

 requestLocationUpdates() is a method on LocationManager.

It would certainly be difficult if not impossible to sign up for a

wifi location. How in the world could this be tracked back to the
person who instigated the account? I would say impossible. With all
the free wifi's around, anonymity is easily obtained. But I digress

The problem with publicizing that they are pirates is that people
looking for pirate Android sites will now find them. It's better to
use phrases like Appbucket is a scam and Appbucket took my money
and I got nothing or Appbucket stole my credit card number - all of
which would scare people away rather than attract them.

 True, but the second and third options could set you up for a lawsuit.

That would be rich. A pirate suing for such a thing... They would have
to reveal who they really are and that would probably open themselves
up for more trouble than it would be worth.

[android-developers] Re: How to calculate distance between to city (dynamically)

[Maps.Huge.Info (Maps API Guru)]

The Haversine formula computes distance between two points along a
spheroid (such as Earth). You will need to know the coordinates of
each city to use this formula. Coordinates for nearly all cities in
the world can be downloaded from the geonames.org website for free.
The Google geocoder will also return those coordinates but you'll have
to obey the terms in order for you to use that service. For the exact
formula, try searching Google.
