  • How does LocationManager work

    - by user2511882
    I have been going through the google docs for the locationManager API and specifically over the method locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 60000, 10, this); In the above line, the manager will check for location updates after each minute and distance of 10 meters. My question is does it actually take both the parameters into consideration? For example if you are driving along how will the method work? Will it start looking for updated locations since you are over the minimum distance between the two updates or will it wait for a minute irrespective? If someone can tell me its behavior, it would be great. Thanks.!!

  • Communicate progress from local Service

    - by kpdvx
    An application I'm building uses a local Service for downloading files from the web to the phone's SD card. In this app users can browse lists of books, and read them while online. A user can also download a pdf copy of a book for offline viewing. To handle downloads I'm using a locally bound Service. I do not want this Service to run all the time, only when downloading files. So that the Service can shut itself down when its tasks are complete, I am not binding to the service, rather I'm sending an "enqueue for download" command through the Intent passed to Context.startService. Books available for download are shown in a list. A user can choose to download a book by clicking on its row in the list. On download, I need to show download progress using a ProgressBar on the actual book list row. I need to also show, on the rows, if a book is enqueued for download, or if its download has completed or failed. The books can be shown in different activities throughout the application--in search, or in the user's list of favorite books, for example. When the books are shown in different places, these are not the same objects, but they are uniquely identified by their bookId. Because I do not want to bind to the service from every Activity, my tentative plan was to use a public static final HashMap on the Service class itself to contain a mapping of bookId to download status, an enum of enqueued, downloading, cancelled, etc. Each book view, when displayed, would check this static HashMap, and if the bookId is in the map, retrieve and display its status. I don't particularly like this idea, but at the moment it's the only way I can think of to retrieve status from the Service without having to bind to it and start it. Additionally I need to retrieve download progress percent from the Service, for a given bookId, if it is the active download. Again I'd rather not bind to the service from every activity, so I'm not sure how to go about retrieving current progress from the Service. My current plan is to use some sort of singleton mediator, that the Service will push updates to, and the views can read from. But I'm not terribly happy with this idea. The reason I'd like to avoid binding to the Service from each Activity is 1.) I'm already running another Service and 2.) binding is verbose and I'd like to avoid needing to pass around a reference to the Service (but admittedly this isn't too much of a problem). Perhaps binding to the local Service isn't expensive enough to warrant this other setup? Should I not be concerned about binding to it from each Activity? Maybe this is a non-issue?

  • Language resources in separate APK?

    - by Rudolf
    I'm wondering if it is possible to create a separate APK file which contains only language specific strings and somehow persuade my program to try to read the string resources first from that package's resource and then from the program's own resources... I would like to have a main program with 2-3 mayor laguages and the rest of the languages would go into a separate language pack. (This is to keep the main program size small as I have already 12 translations)

  • Serialized object in intent returning as String

    - by B_
    In my application, I am trying to pass a serializable object through an intent to another activity. The intent is not entirely created by me, it is created and passed through a search suggestion. In the content provider for the search suggestion, the object is created and placed in the SUGGEST_COLUMN_INTENT_EXTRA_DATA column of the MatrixCursor. However, when in the receiving activity I call getIntent().getSerializableExtra(SearchManager.EXTRA_DATA_KEY), the returned object is of type String and I cannot cast it into the original object class. I tried making a parcelable wrapper for my object that calls out.writeSerializable(...) and use that instead but the same thing happened. The string that is returned is like a generic Object toString(), i.e. com.foo.yak.MyAwesomeClass@4350058, so I'm assuming that toString() is being called somewhere where I have no control. Hopefully I'm just missing something simple. Thanks for the help!

  • NullPointerException on Activity Testint Tutorial

    - by Bendik
    Hello, I am currently trying the activity testing tutorial (Found here), and have a problem. It seems that whenever I try to call something inside the UIThread, I get a java.lang.NullPointerException. public void testSpinnerUI() { mActivity.runOnUiThread( new Runnable() { public void run() { mSpinner.requestFocus(); } }); } This gives me: Incomplete: java.lang.NullPointerException and nothing else. I have tried this on two different samples now, with the same result. I tried with a try/catch clause around the mSpinner.requestFocus() call, and it seems that mSpinner is null inside the thread. I have set it properly up with the setUp() function found in the same sample, and a quick assertNotNull( mSpinner ) shows me that mSpinner is in fact not null after the setUp() function. What can be the cause of this? EDIT; ok, some more testing has been done. It seems that the application that is being tested resets between each test. This essentially makes me have to reinstantiate all variables between each test. Is this normal?

  • Package Installer misbehavoir

    - by rantravee
    Hi, I am unable to understand and fix the following behavior displayed by the Package Installer : in my application when I press on a "update application" button I download from a web server un update apk (in case there is) and start the Package Installer afterwards to install the package. Everything goes well and after the installation finishes there is displayed a view with two buttons "open" and "done" . However pressing the "open" button fails to open the installed update as it should even if the intent to the startup activity is sent as I observed in logcat . Pressing on menu button and going through the applications installed I am able to find the updated app and start it from here . What should I do to start the update by pressing open in the final Package Installed view ?

  • How to draw a Drawable over a View

    - by Palo
    I have several Views in my Activity. I want to draw a Drawable over these views. The Drawable should be on top of the views (that means it hides the views below it. The Drawable may appear over several views (that is I can't just draw it in one view). How can this be done? Thank you

  • How to use GPS data like the double value returned by getLatitude()?

    - by Dan
    I have been searching quite a bit for an answer, but maybe I'm just not using the correct terminology. I am creating an app that will access a database to return a list of other users that are within a certain distance of the users location. I've never worked with this type of data, and I don't really know what the values mean. I'd like to do all the calculations on the backend with either MySQL or PHP. Currently, I am storing the latitude and longitude as doubles within the database. I can access them and store them, but I have no idea how I might be able to sort them based on distance. Perhaps I should be using a different type or some technique that is common in this area. TIA.

  • Rotating images makes ui slow

    - by 5w4rley
    i'm trying to implement kind of speedometer. i'm getting informations about rounds per minute, boost and load of an engine over bluetooth and i try to display them on the screen witch 3 arrows witch should point in the right direktion. i tried to use a rotate animation evry time i get data(10-100ms) to setup the arrows. but that makes my ui extremly slow. 500ms to react on a buttonclick. Doese someone know how to make it work better? source code: public void setTacho() { //rotate Tachonadel Rpmcurrentdegree=Rpmcurrentdegree+Rpmdegree; Rpmdegree=((rpms-lastrpm)*RPMtoDegree); RpmAnim=new RotateAnimation((float)Rpmcurrentdegree, (float)Rpmdegree, ivNadel.getWidth()/2, ivNadel.getHeight()/2); RpmAnim.setFillEnabled(true); RpmAnim.setFillAfter(true); ivNadel.setAnimation(RpmAnim); RpmAnim.start(); //rotate Boostbalken currentBoostDegree=currentBoostDegree+BoostDegree; BoostDegree=(boost-lastBoost)*BOOSTtoDegree; //rotate Loadbalken currentLoadDegree=currentLoadDegree+LoadDegree; LoadDegree=(load-lastLoad)*LOADtoDegree; BoostAnim=new RotateAnimation((float)-currentBoostDegree, (float)-BoostDegree, ivBoost.getWidth()/2, ivBoost.getHeight()/2); BoostAnim.setFillEnabled(true); BoostAnim.setFillAfter(true); ivBoost.setAnimation(BoostAnim); BoostAnim.start(); LoadAnim=new RotateAnimation((float)currentLoadDegree, (float)LoadDegree, ivLoad.getWidth()/2, ivLoad.getHeight()/2); LoadAnim.setFillEnabled(true); LoadAnim.setFillAfter(true); ivLoad.setAnimation(LoadAnim); LoadAnim.start(); } when i try to make the rotation only if the values have changed then it works only while they are changing but if they aren't the arrows jump back to the zero position. isnt setfillafter to tell the image that it should hold the new position? code: public void setTacho() { //rotate Tachonadel Rpmcurrentdegree=Rpmcurrentdegree+Rpmdegree; Rpmdegree=((rpms-lastrpm)*RPMtoDegree); if(Rpmdegree!=0) { RpmAnim=new RotateAnimation((float)Rpmcurrentdegree, (float)Rpmdegree, ivNadel.getWidth()/2, ivNadel.getHeight()/2); RpmAnim.setFillEnabled(true); RpmAnim.setFillAfter(true); ivNadel.setAnimation(RpmAnim); RpmAnim.start(); } //rotate Boostbalken currentBoostDegree=currentBoostDegree+BoostDegree; BoostDegree=(boost-lastBoost)*BOOSTtoDegree; //rotate Loadbalken currentLoadDegree=currentLoadDegree+LoadDegree; LoadDegree=(load-lastLoad)*LOADtoDegree; if(BoostDegree!=0) { BoostAnim=new RotateAnimation((float)-currentBoostDegree, (float)-BoostDegree, ivBoost.getWidth()/2, ivBoost.getHeight()/2); BoostAnim.setFillEnabled(true); BoostAnim.setFillAfter(true); ivBoost.setAnimation(BoostAnim); BoostAnim.start(); } if(LoadDegree!=0) { LoadAnim=new RotateAnimation((float)currentLoadDegree, (float)LoadDegree, ivLoad.getWidth()/2, ivLoad.getHeight()/2); LoadAnim.setFillEnabled(true); LoadAnim.setFillAfter(true); ivLoad.setAnimation(LoadAnim); LoadAnim.start(); } } i don't get it =( thx 4 help EDIT: part of the bluetooth Thread that calls the callback while (run) { try { bytes = mmInStream.read(buffer); if (connection.btCallback != null) { connection.btCallback.getData(buffer,bytes); } } catch (IOException e) { break; } the callback methode of the bluetooth thread: public void getData(byte[] bytes, int len) { setTacho(); }

  • How can I get a Dialog style activity window to fill the screen?

    - by Matthias
    I am using an activity with the dialog theme set, and I want it to be full screen. I tried all sorts of things, even going through the WindowManager to expand the window to full width and height manually, but nothing works. Apparently, a dialog window (or an activity with the dialog theme) will only expand according to its contents, but even that doesn't always work. For instance, I show a progress bar circle which has width and height set to FILL_PARENT (so does its layout container), but still, the dialog wraps around the much smaller progress bar instead of filling the screen. There must be a way of displaying something small inside a dialog window but have it expand to full screen size without its content resizing as well?

  • Navigating between activities and tasks

    - by Alex Orlov
    The situation: I have an activity "A" that is a delegator activity, in simple words, it's only purpose is to call activity "B" (via startActivityForResult()) depending on data it receives. Activity "B" has launchMode set to "singleTask", so it always runs in a single task. When activity "A" gets started from another task (for example as a share from gallery) it immediately returns ACTION_CANCELLED for activity "B", finishes, and task of activity "B" comes to front (which is an expected behavior). So, what happens, is that we jump from our Gallery app task, to my activity "B" task. Everything is fine until user presses back. Since we are already in a different task, the back button doesn't lead us back to gallery. It navigates in the stack of activity "B" task. The question: is there any way to navigate from one task, to previously shown task (navigate from activity "B" to gallery)? Or maybe there is a way to take currently running activity "B" and move it to another task?
