[android-developers] Instrumentation: can this mechanism be used for something else than testing ?

2011-10-31 Thread pperotti 
Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to use (without success) the instrumentation mechanism to
intercept events for a subset of views (for instance, when the end
user clicks on any button) but without  luck.

I'm starting to wonder if it is possible to use instrumentation to
intercept events of methods from views ( for instance Buttons ).

The use case I'm trying to solve is gather statistics from a subset of
events from a subset of views without overriding each method of each
button in the application.

Does anybody knows if this is possible ?

Thanks in advance,
Pablo

[android-developers] Broadcast Receivers

2010-04-21 Thread pperotti 
Hi Everyone,

Can anyone give a hint if you know why there are some ACTIONS that do
not trigger their associated receivers when they are registered in the
manifest while they are received when they are register through
registerReceiver() ?

For instance, when I declare:

receiver android:name=.MyReceiver
intent-filter
action android:name=android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL /
/intent-filter
/receiver

if the application is NOT running MyReceiver is never invoked.

But now, if I register the intent from inside a service, MyReceiver is
invoked properly.

Any tip will be appreciated.

Regards, Pablo

[android-developers] Moto Milestone

Hi Everyone,

Does anybody know how to identify consistently when a device is a
motorola milestone ? None of the parameters in the Build class seems
to report consistently among the devices that are currently in the
market.

I have seen that some devices identifies as A853 and other as
Milestone. Any appreciation will be welcome.

[android-developers] Mobile Network Setting

2009-12-28 Thread pperotti 
Hi Everyone,

I just want to ask you if you anyone knows how to change the Setting
available in: Settings-Wireless Settings-Mobile Network from code or
Setting: Settings-Wireless Settings-Mobile Network Settings-Network
operators-Select Automatically?

I had been unable to find a property that match this setting in the
Settings.System / Settings.Secure classes.

Is there any alternative way to turn on/off the MOBILE
connectivity ? The reason I need to solve this is to workaround the
bug occur during transitioning from WIFI to MOBILE that do not enable
CELL data automatically.

[android-developers] QSB and Images in suggestion provider

2009-10-28 Thread pperotti 

hi Everyone,

I was playing with the QSB and content providers and I found a problem
at the time of using suggestions providers. What I want to achieve is
what the contact app have which is to show an image in a suggestion
with the particular need that the image is not a resource, I have them
stored in a database so, basically I have them as bytes.

As far as I understood a row (in a matrix cursor) for the field
SUGGEST_COLUMN_ICON_1 can be completed using a content, a resource id
or a file.

When I try to set the value for that image as content://com.mycompany/
items/1 the content provider that is supposed to handle this is not
ever invoked.

Can anyone give a any clue about what I am doing wrong or how can I
achieve this ? If

[android-developers] Re: List View not properly updated from AsyncTask

2009-07-14 Thread pperotti 

Hi Romain,

I am actually using in List3 adapter.notifyDatasetChanged(). This do
not freeze the app but do not allow the user to scroll perfectly as in
List1. For some reason (the amount of operations probably in the
AsyncTask) the ListView is not entirely independent from the data set
affecting the user's interaction.

Any comment about why this happens ?

[android-developers] Re: WebView bug with pageDown() ?

2009-04-03 Thread pperotti 

I did that also but if you invoke view.pageDown(true) inside
onPageFinished(Webview view, STring url ) it produces the same
behavior as explained before. The only way this method seems to work
(producing a very poor user-experience)  is by just invoking inside
the onPageFinished something like the following:

In the activity using a WebView object named webView:

class ViewUpdater implements Runnable {
public void run() {
webView.pageDown(true);
}
}

and a class extending the WebViewClient ...

void onPageFInished(WebView view, String url) {
view.postDelayed(new ViewUpdater(), 150);
//The following does not work either.
//view.post(new ViewUpdater());
}

But this produces that after reloading data with webview.loadData(),
the contents and the scrollbar are shown on top and just after 150
millisecs everything is scrolled down to the bottom which actually
produce a poor user experience.

Should I open a bug on this ?

2009-04-02 Thread pperotti 

That is what it means but if you pass true to the boolean argument
it means that the page will be scrolled to the bottom. It seems that
after invoking loadData(), the contents is moved to the bottom but
once the web view has finished loading its data, the scroll is
resetted to the top.

Is there any way to be notified when a page has been completely loaded
using web view?

 You have to register a BroadcastReceiver to get control when the phone
 reboots and then re-register your alarms.

Hi Everyone,

I was digging on the group about similar question but I couldn't find
the solution to my problem so this was the reason Im posting this
question. Please if my problem is already answer just post me the
link.

I have library running on a service and I need to read some objects

When I try to create the interface .aidl the Eclipse framework and the
aidl.exe tool says: unknown type.

For instance:

interface IMyService {
MyObject getObject();
}

If I added import mypackage.MyObject before the interface declaration,
I got the error: coulnd't import mypackage.MyObject.

What is this couldn't import classes problem ? How can I read Objects
created in a service from an Activity ?

Thanks in advance.

 // if vibrate on- after a 100ms delay, vibrate for 200ms, pause for
 150
 // ms and then vibrate for 500ms.
 notification.vibrate = new long[] { 100,200,150, 500 };

 if you are not particular about playing your sound,
 soundUri = content://settings/system/notification_sound
 notification.sound = soundUri;

 You can use the following to just use default vibration and sounds.
  notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL

 I haven't noticed in logcat any messages for Vibrate, but it works on
 the device.

 Cheers,
 Chander

[android-developers] Re: how can I check if an Activity is visible or not?

2009-02-15 Thread pperotti 

Well ... maybe to clarify what Im trying to get done. I want just to
launch a notification to the user only if he is not in one of the
screens (Activities) of my application. If the user find himself
using the application I just want to move him to the next screen.
Basically ...

if ( the user is using my app) {
startActivity(new Intent(...) );
}
else{
   // Launch the appropriate notification just not to be intrusive
}

I was checking in the Activity/ActivityManager public interface, but I
dont quite get how to check if the user is actually using my
application of not.

Can you explain me a bit more how to do this with the approach you
mention ? or if there is an alternative way to do it ?

Thanks again for the time.
Pablo

 Please don't do this, these APIs are only really for writing system
 information tools.  For example, for this to work correctly need to retrieve
 -all- possible running activities (which can be 10, 20, 30, or more), have
 all of that information copied to your process, and look through it for the
 activity you are interested in.

 If your code is in a service a good way to do this is to just have the
 activity tell the service when it is resumed.

[android-developers] Problem with sound on Notifications on Emulator

2009-02-07 Thread pperotti 

Hi Everyone,

The reason Im posting this question is because I cannot make a
notification to reproduce a sound or a vibration sequence.

For the case of the vibration I have permissions properly set and
logcat do not show log message indicating a problem.

For the case of sound, I have an mp3 saved in the res/raw folder and I
always got an error saying: error loading sound in logcat.

I add an snipplet with the code I´m using. Probably anyone can let me
know if I am making a newbie mistake.

Notification note=new Notification(R.drawable.red_ball, Status
message!, System.currentTimeMillis());

note.vibrate = new long[] {100,200,150};

Uri uri = Uri.parse(android.resource://com.pp/ +
R.raw.test_cbr);
note.sound = uri;

PendingIntent i=PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
new Intent(this, NotifyMessage.class), 0);

note.setLatestEventInfo(this, Notification Title, This is the
notification message, i);

mgr.notify(NOTIFY_ME_ID, note);

Where com.pp is the package of my application.

I will be more than glad if someone can be me a hint or a working
snipplet about reproducing sound, vibration and lights. There is
actually very few documentation about how to make notifications work
properly.

Thanks in advance, Pablo
