[android-developers] Re: Getting the email address of the Google Account tied to the handset

2009-07-07 Thread Mike Garcia

Have you considered using the unique phone id rather than the g acct?
The phone id is a much more reliable method especially since tthe
email can be changed with a phone reset.

 Hey,

 Simple question - but i'm finding it difficult finding the answer.

 I want to get the email address of the Google account tied to the
 phone (the one the user enters upon setup).

 I need it to uniquely identify the user of my app - however I do not
 want their password as it would, understandably, scare most users away
 from using the app. So I need a way of getting the email address
 without having to include permissions that suggest I am accessing
 account info etc...

 Is there a simple way of doing this?

 Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Adobe Flash

2009-07-07 Thread Mike Garcia

No official word has come from the android team but I believe it safe
to assume that in the coming months it is quite plausible that an ota
update could be announced to coincide with the Hero's release that
would provide support for flash.

Being a web developer in my day job, I'm still not sure the benefits
of having flash support on the phone.  Even if it is true, it is
extremely likely that the player wrapper will only support flash lite
which although it will provide support at some level it is far more
restrictive than many might think.  It will certainly allow a much
wider array of gui type elements (similar to adobe air) but is the
overhead worth all of that?

 I heard the HTC Hero was coming with Adobe flash installed.

 does this mean previous android phones did not? and will we get an
 update for it ?

[android-developers] Re: How to get current time?

2009-06-10 Thread Mike Garcia
Or you can do something like this...

Date d = new Date();
d.getTime();

I personally prefer this but only because I have access to other functions
for outputing the time in a human readable form without having to write a
bunch of extra code.

 Thanks! I'll just use currentTimeMillis().

   The time provided by currentTimeMillis() will typically be the best

  Does Android fall back to NTP when there is cellular but no NITZ? NITZ
  isn't terribly widespread.
 
  Thanks!

Rebuild your project and then try to recompile.  I had similar

 Hi,

 I'm just trying the SDK 1.5 with a new installation of Eclipse and the

 When I import a project and run it, I have an error message :

 [2009-06-10 12:20:09 - Lunc] The connection to adb is down, and a
 severe error has occured.
 [2009-06-10 12:20:09 - Lunc] You must restart adb and Eclipse.

 The problem is that adb is correctly located... And when I restart
 Eclipse the problem is still the same.


 Does anyone know a solution of that problem?

 Thanks

[android-developers] Re: Justify a TextView?

2009-06-03 Thread Mike Garcia
If you are in the eclipse ide with the android plugin, select the text view
(open the xml file) and go to the properties tab.  There should be an option
called gravity.  Set gravity to vertical-center|horizontal-center and that
should do the trick.

 That is, I would like it to look like the left-hand example here:

Yes.  I have had the OTA update now for over a week and it is working as I
would expect.  If you are developing in the Eclipse IDE and have the 1.5SDK
installed, I'd strongly recommend updating your phone ASAP!

[android-developers] Re: SimpleCursorAdapter and setListAdapter problems

2009-03-19 Thread Mike Garcia
Nevermind,  I found the solution...  The final fillData function does
exactly what I need.  Hope this helps someone...

private void fillData(){
Cursor c = mDbHelper.fetchAllClients();
startManagingCursor(c);

// Set Client Row Title
String[] from = new String[]{ FinanceDbAdapter.KEY_TITLE,
FinanceDbAdapter.KEY_BODY };
int[] to = new int[]{ android.R.id.text1, android.R.id.text2};

// Now create an array adapter and set it to display using our row
SimpleCursorAdapter clients = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.two_line_list_item, c, from, to);
setListAdapter(clients);
}
