Android :: Storing Images As Blob In Sqlite
I am currently trying to store an image into the sqlite database as a blob and retrieve it back.I am not sure if this is the correct approach since i dint find much of sample codes related to inserting images in sqlite. I am able to insert values but when i try retrieving them as byte using decodeByteArray it gives me the following error. DEBUG/skia(13003): xxxxxxxxxxx jpeg error 53 Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x%02x 0x%02x.The image retrieving query works fine as i have checked retrieving an image previously stored as blob in a sample database.I have tried storing and retrieving different image files but i am getting the same error.Could any one tell me as how to solve this problem

Android :: Creating A Drawable From A SQLite Blob
I'm caching image files as a blob in a SQLite database. I have a similar application on another platform that does the same thing with the same image files. The databases on both platforms report the exact same size for the same images. So I think, but can't guarantee, that the image data is getting into the database intact.But when I try to create a Drawable, the console prints out "DEBUG/skia(267):decoder->decode returned false".

Android :: Storing Double Values In SQLite / How To Ensure Precision?
i have a problem with double values i need to store in an android homed sqlite database. since these double values represent gps values (lat & lng), i really NEED an absolute precision down to the 9th number after the comma.when reading lng from this table into some (java) double variable, i get a value like "0.999956837" - this renders the values pretty useless to me.is there a way to enforce the precision i need other than storing the values as "text" fields (what would make expensive casts neccessary) or storing them as integers (meaning i need to multiply/divide at each write/read-op)?

Android :: Android Storing Audio Files Into SQLite Database

Is there any way to convert the audio file into some format and dump into the SQLite database and retrievr flexibly.

Android :: Android Storing Images Downloaded From Web
I had a question related to whether or not (and how) I should store images loaded from the web. Let's say I am calling a web service from my Android app. In this web service I get a URL for an image on the web. I download and show this image on the left side of a list item in a ListView. My question is, what method should I use for possibly storing the image? Should I.Save it to the SDCard, checking if it exists when the ListView is created (on subsequent requests) and re-downloading as necessary (while updating the image occasionally, in case it changes).Store it in the cache using Context.getCacheDir(), but possibly being forced to re-download it more often since I cannot rely on the image staying in the cache. Always download it and never store the image. The image files themselves are fairly small, but I expect some users could have dozens of these small images downloaded/stored. Which would work best, and/or what is the preferred method? As a side question, should I load all of the images in my ListView first (and possibly lock the UI for some time) or load them asynchronously but show a placeholder graphic in the meantime (which might be a bit more "ugly")?

Android :: Storing Images On Android
I'm developing a small Android database app.Associated with the records in the database is a number of images (the image resolution will probably same as the screen on the device), there could be up to 20 images per record.Where would be the best place to store the images.I'm thinking either in the database itself or on the SD card.I'm pretty new to Android and as yet not really sure what I'm doing.

Android :: Load Images In OpenGL Without Having Thin Outline Appear Around Images?
I'm basically using the same method of loading bitmaps in OpenGL that the SpriteMethodTest example uses and have been unable to get rid of an annoying outline that appears around all of my images. For example, If I were to load an image of a white circle on a white background, I would expect to see nothing. Instead, I would see my circle because its edge would be gray. In SpriteMethodTest, I replaced the background image with white and was able to see that the edges of the android images flying around also don't seem to be rendered correctly. Does anyone know how to load images in OpenGL without having a thin outline appear around the images?

Android :: Adding Some Nine Patch Images Breaks All Of My Other Images
I'm working to convert some background images to nine patch so they scale better on different phones. The problem is that if I have the following resource structure: drawable-hdpi/background.png drawable-hdpi/button.png drawable-mdpi/background.png drawable-mdpi/button.png drawable-ldpi/background.png drawable-ldpi/button.png and then I drop a new drawable-hdpi/background.9.png file into the mix, it breaks button.png during the pre-compile. The error is "No resource found that matches the given name (at 'background' with value '@drawable/button').Simply removing that one nine patch file fixes the build. Should I be able to have some nine patch images and some normal ones, or to have nine patch only in hdpi but not mdpi or ldpi? This is Eclipse 3.5.1 with the latest ADT.

Android :: Storing Username And Password?
If I want to store the username and password to be used inside an Android application, what is the best way to do it? Is it through the preferences screen (but what if the user misses this?), or pop up a dialog box and ask the user for the credentials? If so, I do have to maintain state for the application. How would I do this?

Android :: How To Deal With Storing Bookmarks
I am essentially using a listview but am looking at providing a bookmark functionality. I am thinking that I should store the item attributes in a file when bookmarked and retrieve when required to populate a bookmark listview. I was wondering if there is a de facto standard used in achieving this or do I follow just the "writing into a file" and "reading from a file" when necessary style?

Android :: Utility For Storing A Static Map?
I've got a common use-case wherein a user selects one item out of many (say, on a spinner or autocomplete list), then enters the data. For example, let's say the user selects a country. Ultimately, the data I want is the country code, not the country name; but the users will want to select based on name, not code. To put it another way, user's will select "United States", but I ultimately want that to translate into "US". There are a lot of countries. Is there an easy way to setup a mapping in Android to hash from the name to the code? I've thought of a few solutions, none of them are quite satisfactory in my mind: A database containing country/code, which I can query on. Setting up all countries as strings in strings.xml, then retrieving the resource by name. Creating a huge Map in code and using that. (This is the least satisfactory answer).

Android :: Best Practice For Storing Application - Configuration
I am still learning bu find Android the cool platform for allot of useful applications. I have written a Service for doing GPS tracking and it consists of a Service and a Control activity to manage, monitor and configure the service. I am looking for the preferred way for the Control Activity to define settings for the Service, things like IP address and Update interval. I envision something like a Registry on windows where these settings can be shares and updated.

Android :: Storing Object Into SQLlite Database
I would like to store an object into a SQLlite database. I am looking for how to best do it in order to ensure that if I need to updata/change this object in the future that users of the new and old object layout will be minimally impacted. In other words I want to ensure that making changes to the object will have minimum affect on clients that do not update their software on the old database format. I want to also ensure an easy update from the old record style to the new format. I was thinking that I could add an element in the SQL row to identify the object type with a unique name, and to identify the object version number. That way I could read the row and use the object number to control the deserializer to use the correct version of the class.

Android :: Storing A Bitmap Into A ContentProvider From A BroadcastReciever
I'm working on an app that, upon instillation of certain apps will send a message to them to register with a content provider. It all works fine, the strings are stored, but I can't get the byte[] blob (a bitmap .png file) to convert properly from within onRecieve() in the broadcastreciever. CODE:................. I hijack the context so that I can get a hold on the image from the getAppIcon() call (You extend this class which is an abstract class extending BroadcastReceiver) i.e. CODE:...... But my understanding of the context is limited and I think this is what is causing it to be stored incorrectly. I've also tried getting the bitmap from the resources when onRecieve() is called and that doesn't work either.

Android :: Storing Tables Of Information On Platform
I have about twenty pages of information that is stored in tables that needs to be stored in my Android application. Each column is a designated stop on a bus route and the column is filled with times that the bus will be at the stop. There is also certain information that needs to be associated with some times, such as if the bus is handicap accessible at a certain time. Here is an example of one of the tables: Bus Times I have thought about using a SQL lite as that seems as though it would be able to store these tables quite easily; but when I think of using SQL I think of dynamic data storage and this shouldn't be changing more than once a year. Is SQL appropriate for this application? Is there a better way to do this?

Android : Regarding Storing Of Data From User In Database
I am working on some sample programs, where i have to take the value from the user and store it in the database. I have used DroidDraw to create the XML code for UI.For now, I have just started with a textbox. So, I have to take the value from this textbox and store it in a database. I am using SQlite browser to create tables. I read in some forums, that one way of doing this. 1. Copy the db file in the asset folder of the android project and use the AssetManager class. But i am not able to figure out how to use the asset manager class here. Or if I could get some simpler suggestions on how to store the value from user into the database, it would be great.

Android :: Storing A User Selection That Stores Itself For Use On Reload In App
I've built a dialog that asks the user to pick a city from the list provided when the application first opens. The dialog works perfectly, however I want to store the user's choice so that when the app is opened a second time, it checks to see if the user has already made a selection previously. If they have, it doesn't display the dialog and defines the city variable as their previously chosen preference. And obviously, if they haven't made a selection previously (because its their first time opening the app or for some reason the app couldn't read the stored preference), it displays the dialog.

Android :: Best Reasonable Practice For Locally Storing Password?
I am considering adding a means by which my app can perform functions over Google Voice, and the functionality would make little sense if I required the user to type in a password.I'd like a reasonable plan for storing the password locally and sending it (through google-voice-java) when demanded by Google Voice.Clearly, I'd like to properly represent the risks of the chosen scheme honestly to the user. I'd like the storage to be based atop writing it into a SharedPreferences created with flags.What form of obfuscation is suitable, and with what available salting ingredients and such should I customize it?

Android :: Storing Float Numbers As Strings In Database
So I have an app where I put arbitrary strings in a database and later extract them like this: CODE:...................... This works fine in all cases except for when the string looks like a float number, for example "221.123123123". After saving it to the database I can extract the database to my computer and look inside it with a DB-viewer, and the saved number is correct. However, when using cursor.getString() the string "221.123" is returned. I cant for the life of me understand how I can prevent this. I guess I could do a cursor.getDouble() on every single string to see if this gives a better result, but that feels sooo ugly and inefficient. I just made a small test program. This program prints "result: 123.123", when I would like it to print "result: 123.123123123" CODE:.................
