Android NinePatch files seem to be standard .png files with extra information. Is there a spec for the format anywhere, as I'd like to be able to implement this on other platforms?
Hi,
I have an Android application that uses a SurfaceView subclass and Camera object to preview images before capture. Once I capture an image, I stop the preview and release the camera.
Execution stops at any breakpoint after this. However, apart from the "Suspend" and "Terminate" icons, the rest are disabled. This is strange because the "Debug Current Instruction Pointer" is clearly at the said breakpoint and execution is already suspended.
I can't perform any debugging operations and have no option but to terminate the session. Sometimes (very rarely), the session terminates by itself.
I can confirm that this odd behavior takes place only after I preview the camera capture.
I am fairly new to Android development. Is there some obvious mistake I am making? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Are there any good database abstraction layers/object relational mappers/ActiveRecord implementations/whatever they are called for Android? I'm aware that db4o is officially supported, but it has quite a large footprint and I'd rather use a more conventional database (SQLite).
Hi everybody,
My issue is as follows :
I have stored a few pictures into the sqlite database, using the blob format, which seems to work ok. now i want to get my pictures out of the DB and put then back into images... to complicate the matter, their format is variable (png, jpg, maybe something else, im not sure)
Is there a way of doing so in android?
thank you
I've been looking around for this for a long time but can never seem to find it in the Android documentation. There's all sorts of advanced things I see, but I can never find any solid documentation - there's the shapes package, but it provides no insight on how to use them in xml. The best I can do so far is finding other people's examples.
Is there some magical documentation that exists for the XML shapes?
On the iPhone/iPod touch, settings could be kept in the Settings.app. Can you do this in Android? Or must you settings have to be in the actual appilcation?
I want to start making a program for a local charity on the Android platform.
Where can go I for resources and tutorials to learn? I'm very new at this, so would like something simple that can be followed by someone with minimal technical knowledge.

Any help is appreciated.
Hi all I am new to android. I parsed the calendar file. I need to add events to Google calendar from my application. I am using eclipse ide. In eclipse how to use the Google calendar api? Any jar file is needed to use the calendar api?
I want a TextView to have a rounded border. This can be done by using a drawable, specifying a shape in the drawable, and then using the drawable as the background of the TextView. android:background="@layout/border" Also shown here
However, my TextView already has a background color (which is gray) and thus I'm unable to use the above method to set a rounded border.
Is there any other method to do this which allows the background color of the TextView to remain gray and also surrounds it with a rounded border?
What are some things you wish you had known about Android when you first started out or before you published your first app on the market? I am nearing completion on my first and am starting to make sure I have crossed my proverbial Ts and dotted the Is
does anyone know what part of the opengl es thread on an android device runs on the gpu (if it has one). just the method calls you make with the GL10 adapter class? or the complete onDraw method in your custom Renderer class?
I'm developing a native app for Android and I'm trying to use functions such as glIsEnabled which appear to be only available in OpenGL ES 1.1. Google's docs claim that NDK 1.6R1 supports OpenGL ES v1.1 but the function call fails with "unimplemented Open GL ES API" and if i do a glGetString(GL_VERSION) it returns "OpenGL ES 1.0 CM" as the version.
So if 1.1 is available, what do I have to link against to get it or what else do i need to change to get it?
I have an android app that periodically, say once a week downloads content from a server in XML. The content is used by the app, different Acitivities use different parts of the content.
My question is a design one, should I save the data in SQlite or just keep it as an XML file, which one would be faster to read?
The app can only use one content piece at a time, which means subsequent XML content downloads replace the old one.

I have noticed a lot of the use of @Override in Android example code. I thought that all Java methods were by default "Virutal"?
What then does @Override do?
Example:
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
Android is an open source operating system that is modified by cell phone vendors (HTC, Motorola, etc.). Modifications include the user interface, drivers, and other proprietary extensions.
Traditionally, product lines have been a suite of products or services that share a core set of functionality and are modified for different domains and markets.
Does this still qualify as a product line?

I'm trying to build a voip application on a new android device, i use AudioRecorder to read the microphone but I'm getting no valid results, just white noise.
This happen only on this new device(other work well) and this is probably because this device has PTT ability.
Is there some workaround to avoid using AudioRecoder to receive streaming data from the microphone?
Thanks.

What would be the best way to write an app for the iPhone OS and the Android OS that allows access to a web blog (posted on blogspot.com)? Are there ways to manipulate the incoming data from the website to fit the UI of the phones, or will I have to re-do a lot of the blogs?
Any help would be nice! And thank you in advance!
