Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to track mileage with the GPS on the phone?
Two ideas. One buy a pressy for your android and I think you can write code that uses it. If so use it to start or stop the mileage app. Second get and nfc tag if your phone supports it and use that to start stop the app so when u get in car u just put phone near it and it will do its magic.

I know sounds like a pain to have to turn it on and off but since this is a work that can be part of our daily routine to log everything, turn on app and so on.. any links to good source would be great if this is possible.. thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Rating Hijacking !
I am wondering why they don't require comments? There should be like a minimum of 2 or 3 words (and checked so that they are real words) before the comment pushes. Also, there should absolutely be a way to contact a commenter.. at the very least, the ability to reply to a comment and have a gmail like conversation tree layout for more comments. They should have some sort of option to report a bad review.. like if someone posts 'your app sux.. this one is way better'.. it's not a constructive post nor is it possible to tell if they are just friends of the author of the other app and trying to promote it or being jerks. I suppose thought with millions of apps it would be impossible to monitor comments and I am sure there would be way too many reports of bad posts to handle. Maybe they can come up with some sort of comment AI to rule out useless comments.. heck they can make cars drive by themselves and avoid people and stuff!

Re: [android-developers] New Game Released! Please Try.
Haven't tried it..but am curious.. how do you handle latency in your app? Every other music app I've tried on android except for Caustic has major lag issues on just about every device except the nexus devices and Samsung S4/Note3. Seems the audio latency is still a major issue for any sort of music creation app. I am guessing your app will suffer the same problem.. short of having the newest most expensive hardware, tapping drums will usually result in some sort of lag before the audio is heard and certainly when tapping several at once.

Re: [android-developers] Can one upgrade to the latest android on an older phone?
Your best bet is to search Google to see if there is a rom for your phone and if it can be rooted. If there is one you'll need to root your phone then replace the default rom with the updated one. Look for cynogen or something like it.

Re: [android-developers] Json
Funny I just replaced the use of jsonobject with Jackson json because of it
being faster to stream process json with and using less memory. There are
many good examples via Google with regards to using Jackson and android
that may solve your problem and reduce your apps memory use and parsing
time.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to obtain credentials to send emails via gmail on behalf of a user?
Right.. the permission that shows up when I access account manager isn't as clear as the permissions when you first download the app. It strikes me funny that the ability to access the account manager is a manifest permission, but then you need to bother the user at runtime for yet another permission. Why not just make it part of the app installation permissions from the start.. although I suppose the answer for that is that most users won't know what it means at that time, so I am OK with that I suppose. I just wish there was a way to customize the permission popup that occurs so we could make it more app specific user friendly. It seems the only thing I can do is provide info in my description and hope users read it so they understand why my app is asking for that permission and what benefit they get from allowing my app to use it on their behalf.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to obtain credentials to send emails via gmail on behalf of a user?
Yes..true.. and there isn't a way for the manifest to know what your code tries to access at runtime either. My primary issue is the current pop-up at runtime isn't very friendly. I will provide a video of using my app and explain why that pop-up occurs.. but still would be nice if we could customize it. I haven't looked to see if we can so if there is a way, great.

Re: [android-developers] android phone requires activation in order to test on eclipse?
I had an issue with my droidx that I no longer use but kept for testing purposes. I got stuck on the screen where it was waiting to activate.. and the only option was to restart the phone or continue with activation. Turns out.. when on that screen where you touch the Android guy to start.. instead.. you touch all four corners (one at a time in order I think). You then hit the next (or android guy..I forget now) and from that it bypasses activation requirements and lets you use the phone. I did this, on my droid-x after I reset the phone and wiped everything. I also did this for a Samsung S and a Bionic, and it was as I recall the same procedure. All of these phones were originally on Verizon in the US, so I am not sure if this will work regardless of carrier and location or not.

Re: [android-developers] Re: why couldn't create webservice using android?
While I agree that running a web server of any sort on the android
phone/tablet is pretty pointless compared to todays entry level cheap
hardware.. most of these devices are more powerful and capable than my
development machine was 6..maybe 7 or so years ago, and we wrote cod while
running a database and web server on those. As some of you said..it's
possible.. heck it could probably handle a decent load too. Given that I
*think* there are now ARM based servers being built, I could see where
rather than buying a beefy multi-cpu 2+ rack system, you could put a bunch
of these in place as servers to handle a few dozen or so requests and with
almost no heat and enough power and memory to handle the requests.. a farm
of these could possibly be comparable to much more expensive, heat
dissipating hardware that runs multiple vms. At the very least it would be
pretty cool to see a table full of hundreds of these, all via wifi, just
servicing web requests ;)

Re: [android-developers] Re: why couldn't create webservice using android?
Clearly you are taking this to an extreme.. my point was..given that *most* phone devices don't get too hot that they would need a large cooling system to keep it cool, and the fairly decent processing power of current devices, my point was, it would be possible, to some extent, barring a few variables, such as those you have brought up, to build a decent *little* server farm to handle some sort of load. I am not saying google should replace their search engine servers with smart phones by any means. Yes.. a typical wifi-n would be screwed under the load of thousands of phones on the same wifi network, but then, we'd probably consider that we'd opt for a few wifi networks, on different physical network routers to help distribute that load a bit. I am sorry I didn't take this to the extreme you did and make it sound practical for a company like google to actually do this. What if we, for the sake of your argument, throw in wifi-ac?

What about the hardware and systems to distribute the load of hundreds or thousands of requests to servers that can only handle a dozen at a time? Are we *quite* sure that the heat generated would be almost none? My smart phone occasionally gets blazingly hot, as has every cell phone I've ever owned. You need to *measure* the heat, and power consumption, and cost of replacing batteries and other such costs, to be sure that you are getting the best server bang for the buck. I see lots of ways your assertions could be completely wrong. Oh, and the poor WiFi system will collapse under that bandwidth. Real server farms have hundreds, or even thousands of servers - full-size, not phone-sized - in a single data center, connected by ultra-ultra-high-bandwidth pipes.

Yes.. a typical wifi-n would be screwed under the load of thousands of phones on the same wifi network, but then, we'd probably consider that we'd opt for a few wifi networks, on different physical network routers to help distribute that load a bit. I am sorry I didn't take this to the extreme you did and make it sound practical for a company like google to actually do this. What if we, for the sake of your argument, throw in wifi-ac?

Are we *quite* sure that the heat generated would be almost none? My smart phone occasionally gets blazingly hot, as has every cell phone I've ever owned. You need to *measure* the heat, and power consumption, and cost of replacing batteries and other such costs, to be sure that you are getting the best server bang for the buck. I see lots of ways your assertions could be completely wrong. Oh, and the poor WiFi system will collapse under that bandwidth. Real server farms have hundreds, or even thousands of servers - full-size, not phone-sized - in a single data center, connected by ultra-ultra-high-bandwidth pipes.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Send multidimensional array via POST request?
In regards to George's reply.. that works.. but depending on the library you use (looking at you org.json.*) it could eat up a bit of memory... obviously something to avoid on phones/tablets if possible. Jackson has an additional library for support a JSONObject, but with the mapping features, you can stream parse into an object on the fly, using little memory, and/or spit out your object tree as a json string on the fly with little memory use as well.

Re: [android-developers] OpenGL 1.0 or 1.1?
You built recently for 1.5? With anything pre 2.2 combined being less than about 5% of the market.. why bother?

Hence my question on -discuss regarding when 4.x will be the dominant market share. The 4.x libraries offer so much more, to me it's the first android version that really competes with iOS (in terms of ease of use, feature wise it's a bit ahead), and all the new devices save the super cheap/free ones are coming with it now, at least in the US on the major carriers.

Re: [android-developers] Re: support for platform specific interfaces
Dashman, I am curious why you would want to support anything previous to Android 2.1.. and really 2.2 these days. From what I can see on the graph, there is only a few % of devices with Android 2.2 on them. I had a similar question with regard to when Android 4 will be the majority of devices in the market, with a rough target of probably 6 months or so before that happens. My purpose is similar to yours.. I'd rather deal with 4.x SDKs and if by the time I think I can get my app out (6 months or so) Android 4+ is the dominate OS with possibly a year out being 75%+ of the market.. I could live with not gaining a lot of 2.3.x and previous owners use of my app. I also ask this because at least from what I've followed on some forums and in here, apps that run on 4.x that should run on 2.x seem to have issues on many devices.. probably for any number of reasons. I am still wavering on the idea of support 2.3.x and not using ActionBar and some of the other 4.x features as my app doesn't absolutely need them, but I also think the stability and more capable SDK for 4.x is nice to code to.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to obtain credentials to send emails via gmail on behalf of a user?
Dang.. hire a lawyer.. getting more expensive to publish an app every day! What's that cost.. a few grand at least? lol. Nikolay.. not sure why you made that comment? While I can understand that authorizing an app to use some of your information is not for everyone.. I believe part of why AccountManager is part of the Android APIs is to ensure that a person's info is secure and an app can only access tokens of some sort that could not be abused by an app... furthermore.. an app, I would assume, would gain a bad following and not do well at all if it were misusing the tokens. In my case, I am learning Android and since there are 700,000+ apps out there.. there really isn't much not thought of these days... so while learning I am just trying to think of things that would make my life easier. One of them is.. not having to manually type in email addresses using the external email intent when sending out emails. I hate an app that takes me away from it to use other apps features, like cameras, emails, sms, etc. If one app can, with some permissions, save me time and be of use, then I am fine with allowing it to do so. I would ALSO depend on the description being clear (and/or a video, pics, separate web site, etc) and explaining WHY permissions would be required. I think as I've read on some blogs on polishing apps.. an app that just pops up permission requests with no clear reason as to why it's needed.. I would not trust it either. In my case, I would/will explain all the reasons for what permissions a user might need to auth in the app itself, and would provide a video and web site to provide more info, plus email to support any questions. As for not being able to use it.. it's part of the google API on their site so I would assume it should be OK.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to obtain credentials to send emails via gmail on behalf of a user?
Not sure I agree with your sentiment with regard to how you are saying it. Millions upon millions have trusted facebook with login.. and google with checkout and paypal, etc. Not sure why they wouldn't trust their own device's capabilities to prevent apps from using their username/password.. it's not asking for that.. and maybe I don't understand OAuth very well..but I thought one of it's purposes was to provide tokens that are limited in time and/or use, and/or at least protect end users by not providing full access to all their information. Furthermore, from what I can tell, the token I get to access mail only allows me to access mail, not other accounts. I am new to this so maybe it does allow for more.. but then like I said, if an app abuses it, I would hope the voting system, and if need be google removing it stop it short of being too destructive. I do agree though that users should be cautious, and that is why at least for me, providing information that explains why the permissions are needed at least allows end users to decide if they want to make use of the feature of my app. In my case, it's one of several things my app will do, and end users can choose to authorize my app to use their token, or end up using the external email client. The latter case will be more cumbersome because of all the typing/touching involved to find email addresses (or enter them completely), but it would be an option if they do not trust my app to send out emails on their behalf.

I am testing examples of AccountManager#getAuthToken, but I am not sure if it's possible, even with a pop-up dialog asking the user (in my app) for their permission to do so.. whether or not I can obtain a token that can then be used with gmail api's to send out email with. I know there is the GMailSender example that uses username/password, but naturally that's not going to fly with end users.. at least most of them would not allow my app to store their username/password for gmail. Given that as far as I know just about everyone with an android device sets up a google account and thus can use gmail (even if they dont).. I was hoping there is a way I can ask the user for permission to use their account info to send out emails from their device as if they had manually sent the email. The purpose is not to send out spam emails or bad emails.. my app would send out emails exactly the way a user would without my app.. only my purpose is to save them time. In other words, the end user, reading my app description, will understand that my app is intended to save them time and would use it for that reason, so typically they would allow my app on their behalf to send gmail emails out for them to save them time. So.. is that possible? Is there a google api that takes an auth token, instead of user/password to send emails out with? I liken this to a site asking a user to use Facebook to login.. if a user accepts, that site has a token for some amount of time they can use to log in the user via facebook login. I'd like to do the same thing in my app.. only with various apis, google mail being one of them.

Re: [android-developers] Is it possible to obtain credentials to send emails via gmail on behalf of a user?
I found some info on that, but from what I have read, it is deprecated.. still available but no longer supported. I don't want to release an app on a deprecated way of doing so. If you have a link to a valid way of doing this that is still supported, I'd appreciate that, but thus far it appears google does not allow the auth token to be used to send emails on behalf of the user's device.

Yes. You can obtain an OAuth token which lets you authenticate to gmail's SMTP sever and send email with the user's account.

Re: [android-developers] using IP address 10.0.2.2 for android simulator works, but how do I point to localhost when testing on android device?
Not entirely sure from your post... Is your actual device on wifi and using the same network as your server?

To complicate things I run my servers in kvm instances but I am still able to get my devices to test against my servers.

Re: [android-developers] Ideas on providing add on packs for an app

For example something like the Image Packs for Find Differences https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pineconesoft.comparatorfeature=related_apps I would like to offer quite a few of these add-on packs, but I am concerned that many (20 or more) add-on packs might violate part of the Android Market Developer Program Policies: Do not post repetitive content. The add-on packs would contain different content, but all work only for the app I released. I also considered hosting the content on some online hosting service, and using the in-app billing API to allow users to pay for the content. I have a free Google Sites website right now, but I am leery of using it for hosting content due to the unknown amount of available bandwidth for free Google Sites. So, my questions are: 1) What does Google mean by repetitive content? 2) Has anyone used a free (or very cheap, price$10/month) service for hosting content for an app and could recommend one to me? I do not want to redirect users to a website to download the content. I would include a built-in list in the app and have the code download the content once the user selected an add-on pack. Concerning the price of a hosting service, I am a college student, and my financial resources are limited.

Re: [android-developers] Android Client Authentication with Spring Security 3
I am wondering why you are making a call to a rest service and trying to
keep state? Rest calls typically are stateless. You should pass the
credentials each time and the rest service should validate those credentials
each time. By storing a cookie you end up having to keep track of timeouts..
what happens in your android app when the cookie expires and you make a
request again and it fails due to the cookie being bad? Are you going to ask
the user to enter their credentials again? You might be better off storing
the entered credentials and sending them on every request. Also, did you
write the service? If so, why are you issuing a cookie? Why not just have
the service check for credentials every time?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Android 2.3 Vs 3.0
Apple's iPad was really just to support bigger screens, but had less functionality than the iPhone os. The opposite is happening here.. Android 3.0 is a much better UI and more features. That to me is one of the biggest reasons Android tablets are going to beat iPads... not only is the UI more tailored towards tablets and information at our fingertips, it's not quite identical to small screen phone devices. We truly get a more tablet oriented OS while still maintaining the ability to write code for both with.. as far as I can figure out, no changes other than for screen resolution.

There will be lots of versions after Honeycomb.

Re: [android-developers] Android and Web-services
Not sure the OP is going to come back and read this.. but the easiest/fastest way to go is a RESTful api on the server side, and using HttpClient within Android to make rest calls. Java/Jersey (JAX-RS) is really easy to use and provides a robust framework to work with to build a solid rest api. HttpClient is also fairly easy to work with, although examples of various scenarios are a bit harder to come by with android examples... still quite a few out there.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Making Sure a Finished App is not Draining Resources
I am curious why if in your onDestroy you shut down any tasks/threads, your app would still show up? I would think it would exit properly if you wanted it to. Perhaps I misunderstood that. I thought if the lifecycle onDestroy fires, that meant your app (or at least the activity) was going to be done. If you only have one activity then your app should essentially close. If your app is made of multiple activities, then calling finish() does that not end the activity? Assuming you have 3 or 4 running, and you call that on all of them, wouldn't your app shut down? I see I still need to learn more on the lifecycle stuff.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How do I Crop an picture after taking it?
Ah.. ok..I am sure there is, I don't know off hand. I would imagine you need to use SurfaceView and do your own drawing and handling of touch events for resizing the crop lines. I haven't had to do something like this yet, although I would love to see some code that draws on top of an image and handles touch events too. 2011/2/14 Carlos Eduardo Rührwiem carlos.ri...@gmail.com @Kevin, Thanks for the reply.

Re: [android-developers] splash image when app is loading
I was going to suggest something similar to what Kostya suggested. As he said, if you're taking time to load things in an onCreate, first you want to move it to a thread (AsyncTask). What I do is I've found one of the examples out there that sets my launcher to the SplashScreenActivity. In my case, I do it just for showing info about the app, author, etc. So I have a timer counting down for 15 seconds (which is way too long). If the user touches the screen at any point, it then times out immediately. Either way, it starts my main activity at that point. As Kostya said, in your case, once your background loading stuff is done, start the main activity. This way they see your splash screen until all the loading is done. You can even make an animated splash screen to help alleviate the amount of time it seems a person is waiting.

I mean I see this all the time on other apps so I was just wondering how they do this? The distinction, if any, between loading and starting, is entirely in your code. Android brings your process into memory, creates the main activity, and starts calling its lifecycle methods: onCreate, onStart, onResume, and off you go. If you have a lengthly operation (to load textures in a game, unpack compressed RSS stream, etc.), then you can: 1. have your main activity set its content to a splash image; 2. schedule lengthy operations on a background thread, AsyncTask (or any other way that doesn't tie up the UI); 3. handshake back to the main activity when those lengthy operations are completed, and present the UI for interacting with your application. Item 2 is a good idea anyway, because if you run a lengthy operation in one of the above lifecycle callbacks (onCreate, etc.), and it exceeds the time limit allowed by Android, then the user will see the ANR popup (Application Not Responding - giving the user a choice to kill it or to give it more time). Usually you click the launcher icon and then an image is displayed for a short time and then the app starts. I assumed the image is used as a placeholder while the app finishes loading. I believe Android just animates a mock-up of the activity, based on what it can gather from the manifest (the color scheme and the title).

Re: [android-developers] splash image when app is loading
First, are you using debug mode with your physical device plugged in to the USB slot and deploying that way? It will allow you to watch the LogCat output, you can put Log.i() info throughout your code to try to trace it or use the debugger and break points, whichever your fancy. You may see why one device is taking a long time and the other isnt. As for the tabs and what to do.. I would create a completely new Activity, called SplashActivity or whatever. Separate layout xml for it. Put that as your starting launcher. From there, you would launch your activity that sets up the tabs. I haven't done anything with tabs yet.. is ti required that each tab be a separate activity.. is that the normal way it works (anyone)? I would have thought you could use a single activity and listen for tab changes and set the content view to a new view for that tab, rather than separate activities for each. If you can do that, then you load all your data during the splash screen, then start the tab activity and you are good to go. If it is pretty common or the only way to do tabs is with separate activities, then generally I take the lazy approach. A user may never select any other tab, so why load the data for it up front? That takes up resources. If you have too much data, you could degrade the device performance, and cause android to shut down other running applications (er..running but in pause mode of course). If each tab requires a couple seconds or so to load data, maybe in the tab switching handler, put up a simple alert box with a spinning meter to show something is happening. I'd also look at releasing the previously selected tabs data. From what I've learned, even with 256MB up to 1GB or more ram, you are still very limited in memory because of the potential of other apps running (again, in pause mode while your app is up on top) and consuming resources. You want to try to play nice with the overall idea of multiple apps running as much as possible. Don't forget to release all your resources in the onPause handler for each activity, and handle those events properly.

I'm new to android programming and I've basically built my app from seeing examples of similar things that I want to accomplish in my app. This came about because I got the app running perfectly in the emulator...but when I tested it on two different real devices, it wouldn't load at all on one and it seemed to work ok on the other. It seemed to install correctly on the device that it wouldn't load on, it just never got past the black screen before the first activity starts.

As he said, if you're taking time to load things in an onCreate, first you want to move it to a thread (AsyncTask). What I do is I've found one of the examples out there that sets my launcher to the SplashScreenActivity. In my case, I do it just for showing info about the app, author, etc. So I have a timer counting down for 15 seconds (which is way too long). If the user touches the screen at any point, it then times out immediately. Either way, it starts my main activity at that point. As Kostya said, in your case, once your background loading stuff is done, start the main activity. This way they see your splash screen until all the loading is done. You can even make an animated splash screen to help alleviate the amount of time it seems a person is waiting.

Re: [android-developers] uninstall Popup Questions dialog
I don't think it pops up always.. I get the uninstal, the OK button that it was uninstalled, and back to my Manage apps page. I seldom see it actually. I am surprised however that we can't access that data. What's the point of even asking why someone uninstalled a specific app? I suppose google uses the info to determine why.. but it's less useful to them than to us developers. So how do developers figure out install/uninstall rate? I always see in the market 1000-5000, 100,000-250,000 etc etc. Does that number mean unique installs.. or does that count for anyone who has reinstalled it? Especially on free apps where you can keep on installing/uninstalling it over and over. There are many apps for like $2, or more, that claim 250,000 installs.. that's some good money! I want to be part of that lol.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Getting Owner and Contact Data
Well, I would think the only thing we can do if there is no actual me
record, is to pull the accounts connected to, and get emails from those.. if
there is only 1, use it, if more than 1, offer the end user a choice.
However, at the very least I'd still ask the end user if that is the email
they wish to use rather than just assume. Or populate the email (if there is
only 1) into a field that the user can verify before sending. In my case
it's not a big deal, didn't realize there wasn't a definitive me record
that we could access given that exactly like Dianne said.. if they download
the app, they have a google account set up.

switched to ContactsContract.Contacts...
to try pull explicitly the first (given), middle, and last (family)

able
to fetch these columns via:

I can get the phone number (data 0 or data 1), but not first, middle,

algorithm to work as it compares it with other people to find trends

Here's another alternative way I tried with the first cursor c1:
String lookup =
c1.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY));
Cursor cc =
getContentResolver().query(
Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI,
lookup), null, null, null, null);
and still I cannot get the owner's or a contact's data that I want.
Does anyone have any clue as to why I can't get the contact fields I
need... or how I can get them?
I really appreciate any insights.

Re: [android-developers] Re: can we upgrade paid version to free version with add.
From my understanding of ads, you need a huge number of users running it to earn any sort of money. Probably in the millions running it every day to earn a decent amount. Not many apps out there that do that. Android is still too young and too many expect most things free. Have you looked at in-app purchases? Not sure what version of android that you must support for that to work with or if it's just an SDK download that works with any version, but you could entice users to buy virtual goods or something in the app to make some money.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Camerapreview
@Jay.. did you set the right permissions to access/write files? Make sure
you do that or it wont work. Also, google (or search here) on how to access
the sdcard. I forget off the top of my head.
@Kevin.. you can post it using HttpClient, and on the server side (assuming
Java) use the apache FileUpload servlet to get it in, or use Jersey (RESTful
api) and handle a POST in a method with @FilePathParam as a parameter to get
the file. To post a file as multipart from android, you'll need to add a
couple jar files. My current app is about 1.6MB due to the jar files.. don't
think that is too big, but it's a small bit of functionality. I'd love to
find a way to handle multipart using the built in HttpClient without having
to use 3rd party jars.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Fetch data from android service to HTML
You gave no reason as to why you would do this? By this I am trying to understand if there is a better way to do this, as generally from what I've read, and based on small size and limited battery of phones, you don't generally want to run a server on it. Maybe you are doing something the wrong way, hence why I am asking why you need to do this. If your intention is to actually allow someone to run a mobile server, possibly with say, wifi hotspot capabilities so that you can run a web server for demos or something without having to take a laptop, then..maybe it might make some sense. But if you're trying to run a server so that you can pull data off the phone from a web server somewhere else.. there are better ways to do this. As for actually having a browser reach the phone, the only way that would be possible that I know if is if the phone is on wifi, and you obtain the phones ip address. Then in the browser you use the ip address. I don't know if a phone on 3g/4g gets a viable ip address that you can use outside from anywhere or not. I would guess not. Much like many ISPs don't want you running a server at home, I would think the carriers don't want or allow for a static IP for example on their phones. If your server software on the phone can obtain the ip the phone is assigned, then update no-ip.com or dyndns.org for example, and you can then give out a domain name that is tied to one of those accounts, it may be possible to reach the phone from anywhere assuming the dhcp ip on the phone is updated properly and it works. I am curious though if the carriers might block get requests and such to phones.

Re: [android-developers] [Camera API] Programmatically Update Flash Setting (or any Camera.Parameters)

On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 9:28 AM, Joe McCann joseph.is...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying to avoid having to rewrite the Android source for the native camera app (as it is a cluster***k of code), but am curious as to the proper, most efficient away of being able to update the Camera Parameters AFTER the SurfaceView of the Camera has been created and opened. For example, if you have a button that toggles the setting of On, Off, or Auto for the Flash, this initial parameter value is set when the Camera is initialized (let's say Auto by default, if, of course, the device supports it). If you want to switch it to Off, WHILE the current view is the instance of the Camera/SurfaceView, you press the button and it sets the new parameter to the camera to OFF; however, the CURRENT instance of the camera does not update it's camera settings, meaning if you take the picture the Auto flash setting is still enabled. Now, if you say launch a new Activity, like a Preferences screen, and then go back to the Camera view, the camera now has the OFF setting. This clearly has to do with the surfaceChanged() method as it is grabbing the NEW camera parameters and updating the camera settings to reflect that. In a nutshell, I'm wondering if there is a way inside to update the CURRENT instance of the Camera and what a preferred approach would be.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Programmatically Update Flash Setting (or any Camera.Parameters)
He's saying that calling that after the preview has been set up.. doesn't seem to immediately take affect. You either have to recreate the surface to change camera parameters, or use a separate activity to pause the current camera preview activity, then when that activity closes, it causes a onSurfaceChanged() call which then picks up the change. I am guessing the OP wants to do something like the camera app does (at least on my original droid) where you can flip some switches/buttons while the preview is running and they affect how the camera works without having to recreate the preview surfaceview each time a change occurs. If you can turn flash on/off, zoom, auto focus on/off, etc with immediate changes that when the picture is taken, are applied.

For example, if you have a button that toggles the setting of On, Off, or Auto for the Flash, this initial parameter value is set when the Camera is initialized (let's say Auto by default, if, of course, the device supports it). If you want to switch it to Off, WHILE the current view is the instance of the Camera/SurfaceView, you press the button and it sets the new parameter to the camera to OFF; however, the CURRENT instance of the camera does not update it's camera settings, meaning if you take the picture the Auto flash setting is still enabled. Now, if you say launch a new Activity, like a Preferences screen, and then go back to the Camera view, the camera now has the OFF setting. This clearly has to do with the surfaceChanged() method as it is grabbing the NEW camera parameters and updating the camera settings to reflect that. In a nutshell, I'm wondering if there is a way inside to update the CURRENT instance of the Camera and what a preferred approach would be.

Re: [android-developers] Re: can we upgrade paid version to free version with add.
Assuming you can use the new in-app SDK for any version of android (1.6 later I hope), you could give away free and provide some in-app buys if that is possible. Really depends on the app I guess. This feature is probably best applied to games, but I am sure other apps can do things, like provide a support my kids by donating a buck button or something.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How to intercept when the application is brought to foregroud from background
There are probably a few other ways to do this. If the user goes away from your app, and android doesn't shut it down, then comes back, the user should still be logged in right? As Mark said, onResume() is where you can figure this out. Another way is to use SQLite or something to store a session token and in onResume look it up and check the timestamp of when it was stored (you'd put that in your onPause..storing it with timestamp). Then, if the timestamp is some amount of time, continue with it.. if not, invalidate and take to login screen. Any form of storage could be used for this.. since a phone is a single user device, you could store a file like a lock file, etc. On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 1:56 PM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 4:53 PM, Hari mba.for.d...@gmail.com wrote: There are 2 possibilities, 1. you come back to the same screen (activity) due to the application flow.

Things should be very clear here: you take the API level of Honeycomb (which I can say I expect to be 11) as the point at which the Honeycomb features are available, and if you need to check for this you say android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT = android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB. Also for the other comment about the HC preview SDK version being 10, actually it didn't yet have its own SDK version. During development, the SDK version remains the same as the previous platform (the dev branch is strictly a superset of the platform it is based on), and it is marked with a codename that is used for android:minSdkVersion and android:targetSdkVersion for apps that are building with its new functionality (which does not yet have an official API version number since those APIs are still in development and changing). There is some special casing for resources, because we don't have a way to use version codes in the resource directories, when running as a dev branch the resource system uses current API version + 1 as the version code for resource matching.

Re: [android-developers] Absolute positioning
For one, it allows for different screen sizes to look the same. Using absolute layouts would definitely be an issue if you built it for a large screen but someone on a smaller screen ran the app. Hopefully it would be tested on various sizes, but that isn't always the case. Most developers have at most one device + emulator to work with and rely on the layouts among other things for their apps to work with the various devices available.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Honeycomb SDK
Good points. I think what I read indicated that the UI is that good that a custom UI would no longer be needed.. or probably more likely that hopefully a custom UI won't be built and that all android 3+ devices would share the same UI. I doubt that will be the case, as you said it's open and handset makers are always going to want to find a way to entice people to buy their phone instead of a competitors. When you have similar specs for a phone, often the UI is what sets it apart. That and stability of the device.

I have also seen rumors around about how HC (or GB often) would not allow customized UIs, which of course is fairly ridiculous since Android is open source.

Re: [android-developers] Getting Owner and Contact Data

to a service, and some of that data is the owner of the phone's email
address. From what your saying Dianne, there is no way to discern this
information from the contacts database or accounts set up? So, the only way
to guarantee it every time is to ask for it in the app?

Does anyone have any clue as to why I can't get the contact fields I

Re: [android-developers] Fetch data from android service to HTML
Not sure I understand the issue. If you have a server, presumably some sort of Java servlet or JEE based application, and you are able to make a call from android to this service to get data, and display it in an android app, are you asking if you can make an html page as part of this service that calls it to display it in a browser.. so that if a user wants, they can go to your site and see the same data (perhaps even more given more real estate of browser/screen)? If that is the case, simply add a jsp page, MVC framework if you want, and when a request comes in for the given page or URL, call some bean/servlet method to look up the data the same way the service that handles the android request does, and then format it in the jsp page and send it back. If you are trying to build a site that is outside the service app, perhaps as if a 3rd party were calling like how facebook connect integrates their login UI inside of other web sites.. then you could do something very similar. When a user hits the web page, it makes a call to the service, gets back the data then formats the html to send back. This is pretty much how mashups work when accessing 3rd party services. If you want to display a stock ticker in your own site, you have to call the stock service, get the info, then show it in your page. Otherwise, I am not sure what you are asking.

Re: [android-developers] Re: interfacing to a server via http with a service
Well Tre beat me to it. I was thinking two things. Either A, your main activity registers a listener with another class that uses an AsyncTask in it, and some sort of loop to repeatedly make the rest call. Then, when data is returned, the response handler calls back via the listener and the main activity updates the ui. The other thought is some static method or class that is constructed with a method in the main activity to call (perhaps via an interface implementation?) and then response handler calls that method with new data, which in turns updates the ui thread. I think the listener is the way to go though.

I am actually downloading small audio files for an answering machine app. If the activity that launched the service is still running, I would like it to update to include the newly downloaded files in the UI for the user to listen to. If the user has moved to a different activity, I just want the service to save the file to persistent storage. (It will store to persistent storage either way, but if the activity is running the UI should update) A service seems appropriate here although I am certainly open to other options? I guess it depends on the flow and user workflow of your app. If you start your app, it begins downloading, updates the UI as things becomes available, and then shuts down and stops the downloading when the user exist the Activity, then I would suggest an AsyncTask. If the user expects the downloads to continue and somehow play or be notified as they become available, then yeah, a Service seems more appropriate. Ultimately, either way will work. The issue I am having specifically is notifying the activity that the download is complete. I would really rather avoid having the activity poll the service to find out if the download is completed You've seen how most of the UI in Android works? Nearly everything registers a Listener object when it wants to know something happens. Create your own listener class like ServiceListener or something. Your service takes a reference and hold on to it. When a download is complete, it invokes the listener's onDownloadComplete() method (or whatever you want to call it). Meanwhile the Activity is the one that creates an instance of a custom listener and passes it to the service. When the service call it's method, it responds appropriately (updating the UI). You could also send a Broadcast that the Activity would register for, which would set you up for more advance functionality like background downloading and responding to downloading completing without needing your activity to be alive and waiting for the listener to get triggered. Just an idea though, the former option is much easier and should suit your current problem just fine. --- -- TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Best practices for automatic retrying of AsyncTask
What happens when the async task finishes? Whatever created the first instance of it, or whatever handles the response, should be able to create a new instance again to get one going. I don't think you can reuse an async task and just start it again, I think you have to keep instantiating new instances to run them again.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Honeycomb SDK

There are books you can buy, including Mark Murphy's who provides 3 books for a very fair price and frequents this forum all the time. He explains in there how you upload/update your app. As well, google is by far the best resource you got if you're not going to buy a book to learn from.

It's fun, may take a little time, but it is a lot of fun to figure out, learn about and see results.

Re: [android-developers] Re: In app billing...
So I have a few thoughts on this subject. I have been hoping ever since apple introduced this feature for iPhone/iPad that Google would hurry up and add this. I know of several developers that are making a huge sum more with in-app virtual good purchases than their pro version ever sold. Because it's so tightly integrated in the app, it's a very simple dialog to ok/cancel the purchase and you keep using the app. I have not read the docs yet, I am going to assume that this is the same experience android users will see... they won't be taken out of the app to approve the payment correct? To me, this is the holy grail of mobile apps for developers. I happen to know of a few people in the micro transaction business, and the predictions for this particular segment is astronomical. Tapping in to it therefore is just a matter of finding that right use of it for any given app. Games obviously are going to be the big winner with this feature, as virtual goods, map packs and so forth are unmatched in consumption by end users. I am blown away with how easy it is for someone to spend a buck to customize their avatar look, or a buck for a avatar item.. few bucks to customize, etc etc. I am really hoping.. and if anyone has read and has a clear understanding of what is going to possible.. that they have at least provided what apple has in their API for both end users and developers. Apple for example shows the top in-app purchases. Is there a way for the developer to get info on each and every in-app purchase, to figure out what is selling good and what might not be? Will the Market display the top in-app purchases? For the end user.. how does the in-app purchase go.. is it simply a dialog to approve/deny the purchase? What if they have never bought anything yet? I see that Google and ATT now allow for purchases to appear on their bill. I am hoping at least for ATT that in-app purchases automatically go to their bill as well? Is there any time frame on when Verizon, t-mobile, sprint and other carriers around the world will support this?

Re: [android-developers] drawing and refreshing small paint over static bitmap
This brings me back some years! I remember when trying to dabble in this area of game/graphics drawing, thinking to myself.. if I have multiple objects on the screen, and one goes behind another, I don't want to draw the one behind it. It should speed things up a bit. I never could figure out how to do it right. I was just doing a loop and drawing everything as fast I could, not using a timing loop like 60 times a second and trying to get all the drawing in there each 60th of a second. I don't know if this is the right way to do this, but I would guess each draw object, be it a background or any object at any layer in between, would have it's own drawing handler. You would have some sort of logic that would figure out if a given layer is completely hidden.. obstructed by an object in a layer above it. However, like I said above, I could never figure out how you figure out if a given object is completely covering an object below it. Each object could have transparency sections, like a plane with windows, where part of the object below it might actually be seen through the window of the object above it. I always figured draw from bottom up allowing for transparency so that bottom objects would appear through. This would of course mean you end up drawing everything, all the time, completely. I figured that would be faster than trying to figure out code that would determine if an object was partially hidden or completely hidden using some sort of algorithm that determines the shape or not. If you could use a pure square outline, that was fine, but then it wouldn't look right if you had say a triangle bitmap over a square bitmap.. you'd have to account for the portion of the square that is visible beyond the triangle edges. I sucked in math, hence why this sort of stuff always frustrated me. On Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 8:17 AM, Paolo Russian paolo.russ...@gmail.comwrote: Hello.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Will pay to have someone develop this app for me.
I would agree with Eric. The app has a developer info. Contact that developer. They may build you a one-off, or even build it into their app and then you can just buy that app on the market for a couple bucks + perhaps a little money to the author for doing it. Far better, and probably much faster than recreating it all from scratch.

This would be cheaper, faster and easier than getting a 3rd party to rebuild the same application. Getting someone to build an application can cost you substantial amount of money.

I was wondering if I could commission someone to create an almost identical application, with ALL the same functions and settings, but in widget form, like the app Invisible Protector Pro so that it can only be accessed by putting the widget on your home screen and then you can delete the widget after you alter the settings as needed. This is a serious offer and if you name a reasonable price, I will likely pay it and you can also keep the rights to the app afterward to do with as you will.

Re: [android-developers] Re: 2D shooting game problem
Or read Robert's post.. follow his blog, follow the links. He has a ton of
good info on there. As I am finding out, game development is not for the
faint of heart. It takes years to become really good at it and understand
all the ins and outs. Thankfully we have people like Robert and some others
that are willing to share their processes, problems and even code to help us
out!

Hello everybody,
I've been playing with the LunarLander example and tried to make my own
thing out of it...
On the right bottom screen, I've got a tank that is not moving and his
turret that's moving up and down. It's supposed to shoot missiles at
different angles.
I've got a tank, turret and a bullet and they are a Bitmap image.
private Bitmap tank;
private Bitmap turret;
private Bitmap bullet;
Turret only rotates from angle 0 to angle 75, and I did that with the
update...
I managed to get the turret moving but now I'm finding it hard to shoot
missiles.
*doDraw method*

private void doDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawBitmap(backgroundImage, 0, 0, null);
canvas.drawBitmap(tank, x_tank, y_tank, new Paint());
//Rotating the turret
canvas.rotate((float) mHeading, (float) x_turret + mTurretWidth,
y_turret);
canvas.drawBitmap(turret, x_turret, y_turret, new Paint());
??? what should I write here for the bullet to be seen shooting out of
that
turret
}

if (mHeading = 75) mHeading = 75;
if (dDown) // DOWN key

Re: [android-developers] Re: Will no longer support Android 1.5
Is there a site that shows the number of users for each version? I'd rather target 2.2+ now.. just because its the version that brought in a big speed boost, making a lot more apps much smoother. I still have the Droid 1 and I thought that was one of the lower end devices out there? Being that I'll be able to upgrade this year, I would suspect by end of this year most of the owners would be on 2.2 or later.

There's a big difference between dropping (loyal) 1.5 users and never having them in the first place, so for new apps my default assumption is I will target 1.6+ or even 2.1+.

Re: [android-developers] Re: How best to query web repeatedly.
Alright.. little confused Speed limit signs? Every 50 meters a driver passes one? Or you're trying to pull down speed limit data to let the user know what speed they are supposed to be traveling (and thus if they are going over the speed limit)? Like others said.. is there some way you can pull down ALL the speed limit data ahead of time for say, a 10 mile radius. Using location information, gps coordinates, etc, every time the driver gets within a few miles of the radius edge, pull down more info.. hopefully based on the direction they are headed and centered on them. As far as I have seen, speed limits don't change that often that if you can figure out some sort of radius algorithm to update and assume a good 30 seconds or so for that data, you should be fine.

Maps, logging the route?? In any case, you can either pre-cache some of the data you'll need or cache the data you'll be sending and send it less frequently in either direction. The only reason I can understand polling so frequently is if you are pulling data that is completely unpredictable. That is you have some huge table or tables and really have no idea what the next query is. Maybe you need to think a little more about how to predict what you'll need from either end. As folks have mentioned, latency and bandwidth are highly unpredictable and fluctuate in time and space. Your design will have to heave enough headroom to account for that while still delivering whatever minimum user experience your app needs..

Why not every two minutes? Or every n minutes, depending upon the current network latency? Or even a heuristic scheduler based on multiple factors? I would also suggest considering decoupling the activity from the provider. Perhaps by using a separate service that pushes new queries to the activity.
