I've managed to get some basic 3d stuff working quite nicely on my Android device. My question is how do you define/create more complicated 3d models? Obivously using int[] arrays of vertices hand written is quite time consuming and error prone. Are there any modelling tools that can be used?

As I understand, currently there exist two of them, to relieve devs from implementing their own ones, which are -strict -servermanagedpolicy However, I'm missing a predefined policy that actually is the counterpart to the soon deprecated "copy protection mode", ie one that will check once, and then keeps silent for weeks or even months, instead of harassing users to make an online connection. So, I'd like to request to please add a third predefined policy to cater to our laziness. A policy that is the counterpart to the actual old 'copy protection' thingy. Apart from this I don't really see why an app that has been correctly installed by the market with device-based signature checks and all really needs to be checked every 5 days? Wouldn't that only make sense if the app is sort of subscription-based?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm watching the 2010 Google I/O video on this topic and I have a few questions to make sure I understand properly. Google I/O 2010 - Android REST client applications Please note I also have a very limited understanding of CursorAdapters Right now my application just has a UI layer. I've created an object called DbAdapter using some Google tutorials to create a small database and a table in that database. I've created a class I'm calling DataBroker (extending ContentProvider) to manage retrieving data from the database and calling web services to update data. Scenarios:
1) Suppose I want to display a list of items in my ListActivity. Am I correct in assuming I will write a function in my DataBroker that creates a Cursor to the table in my database that holds those items, fire up a service which launches a thread which calls a web service to get additional items, then return the Cursor to my UI thread? Doing this would likely return the Cursor to my UI thread before the web service finished, but, I'm assuming, once the CursorAdapter has a Cursor, it will automatically show any changes made to that database table, yes?
2) Now I have a list of items in my ListView. Suppose I give the user some functionality to delete an item. The user executes this functionality. It should call a function in my DataBroker which updates the row in my database corresponding to that item, setting the status column to STATE_DELETING (which will remove the row from the ListView because the Cursor has a clause excluding this state), then fire off a service that fires a thread that hits my web service, then deletes the row in the database when finished? Also, suppose I have multiple Activities, am I looking at having a static Cursor for each Activity with a list, grabbing that Cursor in the Activity's onCreate, and if that Cursor is null, hitting my DataBroker?
Is there any portrait QWERTY models coming down the stretch besides the already announced...?
I know Motorola have several models (CHARM, DROID PRO, SPICE) but I want an open phone (custom ROMs).
The other current/announced models are basically non-existent.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just started on a new application that will use SQLite for persistance and Im a bit confused over the usage of a context when utilizing the SQLiteOpenHelper.
I have a base class called Storable, which my models extend if they need to be persisted. i had intended to use a synchronized singleton database adapter, but I can't for the life of me understand how to utilize the SQLiteOpenHelper as it requires a context, which my models don't appear to possess.
I'm aware that I can get around this by not using the SQLOpenHelper - but if this restriction is in place, I would assume its to prevent people creating apps "the wrong way" for android.
What is the best practice way for saving models in the database?
How are people here loading in their models? I'm just manually parsing a OBJ file into my own model class and drawing that.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently added a feature to my app that allows the user to send a report via a message chooser (all have chosen gmail) that helps mitigate the fact that I don't have all the physical phones to test on. Execution worked as expected on my G1 and the emulator, however, to my horror as users began sending them in most of them were incomplete! Pseudo-code of what I am doing is as follows: On my phone and the emulator, all of the packages are inserted into the email. However, most of the emails I get, even from the same exact phone model/carrier/OS version, only contain "Text1". Users that have automatic signature insertions even have that at the bottom, so it's not that the email is being cut off somehow, it's that size is apparently 0. That is the only thing I can think of. Every once and a while I will get a full email though. This frightens me because what other APIs run fine in my testing but not user phones? What's going on here?

View 15 Replies View RelatedLooks like all of the models have something good, but all have something missing. I appreciate differentiation, but this seems silly. Tmo gets 16gb built in, but no flash or FFC (not that I would us a FFC).Sprint gets a keyboard, but not the 16gb built in.Verizon's seems the weakest features of the litter in regards to built in memory (2 wimpy gigs)Best option to me would be the Sprint verison, but with 16gb built in. BTW, where is the flash for camera on the Tmo? Crazy.Samsung should change name to Silly sung.These differences would only be good for the consumer if on the same carrier and still options are too spread out. None of the devices have the complete feature set of the models. Makes zero sense to anyone but Samsung.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently created a new feature in my apps that allows the user to check if there is an update by getting an HTML page, looking through it, and comparing the versions. However, this is causing the application to force close on startup for many of my users using Samsung and HTC phones, but works just as intended on droid x, incredible, and 2. I can't get my hands on any of the phones that are currently crashing and have no idea where to start in fixing it. I use a AsyncTask to search, and start it using.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a ListActivity that uses a CursorAdapter to fill the rows in the view. I wrote a database helper class that gives me back results for common queries I make for my app, and it uses an SQLiteOpenHelper implementation I wrote to open the database. I use the open helper to open the database and get a cursor to pass to my CursorAdapter.
Here's a code snippet:
CODE:...................
The problem I'm having, that I didn't have before I implemented the open helper (before I just opened the database directly without a helper), is when I click on an item, which takes me to another activity, and then go back to this activity. When it initializes everything is fine, and my list is populated fine, but when I go back from the activity that follows, the list is empty and in the LogCat I see "Invalid statement in fillWindow()".
It appears from a few post I've seen that the reason is, when I requery the cursor, the database is closed. But I'm not closing it! I'm scratching my head on this one.
