Android :: Astrid Warning - Prevent Unexpected Erase?

Feb 12, 2010

Got a Samsung Moment a couple of weeks ago. Last night starting using Astrid (Task/ToDo app), which came pre-installed on my phone. When I launched Astrid for the first time, I got a warning message -- something about making sure Sprint Update or Sprint Updater doesn't kill Astrid, or ruin it, or something. Clearly, I didn't understand the message. But I clicked "Okay" anyway, and started using Astrid. But I'm worried that a Sprint Update could erase all my Astrid data -- my To Do's. I'm reluctant to create many Astrid tasks until I know how to prevent them from being unexpectedly erased. My questions: Can anyone explain the situation to me? (e.g., I have no idea who/when/how/where/what Sprint updates). Can anyone explain what I need to do to prevent the catastrophe about which Astrid was warning me?

Android :: Astrid Tasks 3.0 Warning

Aug 3, 2010

WARNING: Back up your Astrid 2 before doing the Astrid 3 upgrade!I just updated to Astrid 3.0 ("Update Available"). Silly me, I didn't read the notes other than to see that Astrid 3 was "all new". My tasks vaporized! The I tried to "restore" and it said I had to buy an add-on pack to do that. No indication of whether the restore in V3 is compatible with saved tasklists from V2. The experience left me cold. I uninstalled Astrid 3 and reverted to V2 via the link http://bit.ly/oldastrid. Then I restored from the saved list on my SD card from the scheduled backup that Astrid did last night. I still lost some tasks I entered today.

HTC Incredible :: Factory Reset - Gives Warning That It Will NOT Erase

Sep 14, 2010

I installed the OTA update 2.2 when it was delivered to my unrooted phone. I want to go back to 2.1, but when I go to settings>SD & phone storage>Factory data reset it gives the warning that it will NOT erase: Current system software and bundled applications. Does this mean that the update 2.2 will still be on the phone, or does it goes back to 2.1?

With the news of such apps such as astrid (sharing data without using user notification), I just want to know if everyone who has/had astrid has decided uninstall or keep astrid? Is it advisable to uninstall this app now after this news?

Like many other users, I found this a really useful app, and if it means having to uninstall can anyone else a similar app to astrid?

Android :: Astrid Widget Not Updating New Tasks?

Aug 11, 2010

I installed the latest version of Astrid, added two tasks, then added the Astrid widget on one of the screens on my phone. I went back and added more tasks, but they don't show up in the widget. Is this a bug, how do I get Astrid to always show the latest list of tasks?

Android :: App To Re-request Permission After Install Astrid?

Sep 4, 2010

I am adding an option to my app (Executive Assistant) to integrate with the Astrid TODO list app. Astrid defines the permissions necessary for doing this. My app uses those permissions. Everything works fine if Astrid is installed before my app. However, many users will use my app first, then decide to use Astrid later (e.g., in at least some cases, because its now supported by my app). However, in this case, I will get a SecurityException if I try to read from the Astrid ContentProvider since that permission didn't exist when my app was installed.

One easy solution would be to simply uninstall, then re-install my app after Astrid has been installed. However, this would require the user to reconfigure my app, which would understandably be quite annoying for the user. (1) is there any way for my app to "re-request" the permission after Astrid has been installed? And, (2) if not, is there any easy way to save & restore my applications data (database & shared preferences) between an uninstall/reinstall so that the user does not have to reconfigure?

Android :: Updated Astrid From Version 2 To 3 - How To Rollback?

Aug 18, 2010

So I updated Astrid from version 2 to 3 and realize it was a big mistake. They took away a bunch of options and now require a RTM account. Is there any way to rollback an app? I searched around and can't find the old version anywhere. On a side note I have noticed a very disheartening trend for Android software developers. They release an app and market it as free. They wait until enough people download it and build a strong user base. Then "update" the software which removes features unless you pay for the full version. This is just poor PR in my opinion.

Android :: Unexpected End Of Document Exception

Nov 21, 2010

I'm getting a "SAXParseException: Unexpected end of document" error when trying to parse an xml document on android. The document in question is from the google weather api, but it seems to throw the same error regardless of the xml file in question (as long as the xml is valid) so I suspect it's a problem with my approach, rather than the xml. This is being done as a learning exercise, so I've probably (hopefully) overlooked something obvious. I've run the xml through an online validator, and it comes back as being well formed. (Can't tell me if it's valid as I don't have a DTD, but I dont think I need the DTD to parse the xml). This is the code that I'm using to try and parse the file:

private void refreshForecast() URL url;
try { url = new URL( "http://192.168.1.66:8000/google4.xml");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection)connection;
int responseCode = httpConnection.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
InputStream in = httpConnection.getInputStream();
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
// falls over here parsing the xml.Document dom = db.parse(in);
} } catch (ManyExceptions e) { ....
} A cutdown version of the xml that produces the error is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xml_api_reply version="1">
<weather>
<forecast_information>
<city>Hamilton</city>
</forecast_information>
</weather>
</xml_api_reply>

The stacktrace is:

11-20 06:17:24.486: WARN/ROGER(406): org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Unexpected end of document

In the interest of brevity, I've not included the original xml, but it's just the standard weather xml from googles feed. I've also tried a few completely different xml files, (including the sample from http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-android/) and they all give the same error. (They also all validate as well formed when I run them through an online xml validator). This makes me think that it's not a problem with the xml, but rather with how I'm trying to feed it into the parser.

Android :: SensorManager.registerListener Gives Unexpected Results

Nov 30, 2009

I'm registering a sensor listener with this line of code.

mSensorManager.registerListener(this,mSensorManager.getDefaultSensor (Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER), SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST);

The rate is set to SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST with the expectation that I would receive events roughly every 20-30ms. It turns out that I receive events only every 200-220ms (just now, my event code simply logcats the system time).

No matter which rate I use, SENSOR_DELAY_NORMAL, SENSOR_DELAY_UI, SENSOR_DELAY_GAME, or SENSOR_DELAY_FASTEST, I get the same result?

Android :: How To Debug Unexpected Exceptions (source Not Found)

Feb 9, 2010

I am pretty new to Android, the thing that bugs me the most about the IDE is that I am not able to get any information about an unexpected exception when it gets thrown, I can put a try catch block around identified code that generates it, but in many cases it takes time to find the line of code that generates the exception. is there any other way I can get the exception information? in JDT when an unexpected exception is thrown the call stack displays the exception class name. but in ADT this doesn't work.

Android :: RelativeLayout Fill_parent Unexpected Behavior In A ListView With Varying Row Heights

Apr 29, 2010

I'm currently working on a small update to a project and I'm having an issue with Relative_Layout and fill_parent in a list view. I'm trying to insert a divider between two sections in each row, much like the divider in the call log of the default dialer. I checked out the Android source code to see how they did it, but I encountered a problem when replicating their solution.

To start, here is my row item layout:

CODE:..........

The issue I'm facing is that each row has a thumbnail of varying height (ImageView01). If I set the RelativeLayout's layout_height property to fill_parent, the divider does not scale vertically to fill the row (it just remains a 1px dot). If I set layout_height to "?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight", the divider fills the row, but the thumbnails shrink. I've done some debugging in the getView() method of the adapter, and it seems that the divider's height is not being set properly once the row has it's proper height.

Here is a portion of the getView() method:

CODE:.........

The rest of the method simply sets the appropriate text and images for the row.

Also, I create the inflater object in the adapter's constructor with: inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);

Am I missing something essential? Or does fill_parent just not work with dynamic heights?

Android : Child Activity Exit By Unexpected Exception - OnActivityResult - Is Not Called

Jun 23, 2010

I have faced with issue about startActivityForResult() and onActivityResult(). If child activity started by the startActivityForResult() exit by unexpected exception the onActivityResult() is not called and I have no any ideas how can I handle this to get application working in a fail-safe manner ?

When my code runs child activity with startActivityForResult() it awaits until onActivityResult() will be invoked to get working further, but onActivityResult() is not calling and my code is "hang- up" (logically).

So the question is how can I handle all possible ways the child activity is finished (normally and by unexpected exception) to get fail-safe code ?

I have check the documentation for this issue but have found nothing relating issue.

Android :: Unexpected Extra Byte Occurring In Binary Logcat Entry Stream

Nov 19, 2010

I've been implementing a logcat reader in java which uses the binary output of logcat (-B switch) rather than the text based formats. My code works for many of the entries, but frequently the binary log entries have an extra byte inserted which I can't account for, making the payload the wrong size.

From looking at various bits of the c++ code for both the logcat program itself and the logging apis, the binary format seems to be:

CODE:...........

Payload section of the header is (payloadlength bytes total):

CODE:...............

This file defines the struct: http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#2wSbThBwwIw/include/cutils/l...

The extra byte I'm seeing occours after the nanosecond timestamp and before the log priority of the payload. e.g. Here is a hex dump of one of the log entries with the phantom byte:

The byte (in this instance) is 0x1D at offset 0x14 0000:

CODE:.......

The extra byte shifts the payload by 1, so the payload length becomes incorrect. I can't see where this byte is coming from.

I also tried the LogReceiver class in ddmlib, but that also fails to handle extra byte and produces garbage after it hits an entry with the extra byte: [url]

Here is a quick python script which demonstrates the problem. It reads and prints binary log entries in the expected format. It will raise an exception when it encounters an entry with an unexpected byte: [url]

The logcat program itself successfully reinterprets the binary format without jumping through any hoops, so I can only guess it's some kind of struct alignment artifact. Anyone encountered this or got any idea why the extra byte is appearing?

Android :: Davlik Bug - UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: Java.lang.IllegalArgumentExcep­tion

May 10, 2009

I am attempting to integrate some previous libraries that we have within my new android project.

I have made several attempts including:

Importing the code as sub-projects (that are built using the android.jar)

Importing the code as jar files (from the built code)

Adding the files directly as part of my project

Reordering the dependencies

However for each one of these scenarios I keep getting the following exception thrown by the davlik compiler.

It is always picking the first class in the package (ie if I remove that class, it picks the next and so on).

It would appear to me that this is a compiler bug - somehow it's getting it's dependencies in a twist.

Anyone else experienced this? And/or have any ideas on how to get around this one?

General :: Unexpected Status Message (Automatic Backup)

Dec 7, 2012

I got a surprise status notification today about completed automated backup. I see this message for he first time. Where it came from, as there was no activity attached to the notification.

I do my own backups and have the standard sync and backups disabled, and I have not installed anything particularly weird or non-market since the last time I reflashed the device. To the best of my knowledge nothing but my own backup does backups.

Which app may be responsible for it? I am quite uneasy having apps that backup who knows what who knows where.

The device is a rooted Nexus 7 with stock JB 4.2

Android :: Unexpected Resume Of Package Name Error In Android

Apr 9, 2010

If changing the orientation of my phone or the emulator I get the following output in LogCat:

04-09 11:55:26.290: INFO/WindowManager(52): Setting rotation to 1, animFlags=0
04-09 11:55:26.300: INFO/ActivityManager(52): Config changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=310/260 loc=en_US touch=3 keys=2/1/1 nav=3/1 orien=2 layout=18}

04-09 11:55:26.689: INFO/SearchPosition(807): Activity is resuming

SearchPosition is the activity that is displayed. Activity is paused is written in the onPause Method and Activity is resuming in the onResume method of the activity. I googled a little bit for the error message but I don't fully understand the meaning of it. I think it could mean that the old Activity is not properly destroyed after changing the screen orientation. Is this correct? If yes what causes the error? If this is not correct? What is the meaning of this output?
