I want to access the build type [release/debug] in java code and xml file to enable or disable the particular feature at the run time.
Please let me know if we have any environment variable defined for it which can be accessed in java code and in xml file also.

This is more of an Eclipse error than an Android or Ant error. My Eclipse project won't build because when it sees the build.xml created from the Android command, it starts looking for the debug and release commands. Well, since they are dynamically generated from the <setup> task, they don't exist. So now Eclipse (Build id: 20100218-1602) locking the project from build/run based on these errors. kay.. so here is the weird part: It worked this morning. In fact it has been working for weeks with the build.xml file sitting there. All I did was edit the build.xml file in Eclipse (changed some constants). Ant thinks everything is peachy.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out a way to programmatically determine if my build was built in debug mode vs. release mode. I'd like to hide some items in my settings screen if it's release. When I build my app in Eclipse I'm building by default in Debug mode. However, when I build the app using the command line, I build it in release mode and sign the app using the jarsigner tool.
I've tried using:
PackageInfo appInfo = manager.getPackageInfo("com.adobe.psmobile", PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);
to test if
appInfo.signatures[0].toCharsString()
matches my debug signature and that didn't seem to work.
I'm now trying to see if I can introspect the app's KeyStore, to match the default debug alias described here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html of "androiddebugkey"
but I haven't figured out how to retrieve the app's KeyStore yet.
Is it possible to automatically detect, which certificate was used for signing APK? I'd like to have both debug and release Maps certificates in application and pass valid one to MapView constructor.
With such setup I will not make mistake while releasing application - I'm using debug certificate on emulator and my device, then sign with release one before sending app to Market.
I was thinking about detecting my particular device or whether debugger is connected but it is not perfect. Maybe some file marking need for debug certificate? Is there any better way?
In Android is there a way to disable logs/stacktrace being printed when the application is code signed and is in release mode. Is there any direct way to do it?
In Iphone i heard the logs will not be printed in release mode by default.
I downloaded the Android 2.2 source code and try to build it. When I executed the make command, I got an error here like this build/core/java.mk:20: *** frameworks/ex/common: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. Then I changed the frameworks/ex/common/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7. Next place, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/jsr305: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/jsr305/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
Last one, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/guava: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/guava/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
By these changes the code started the compilation.
1. Why the error occured?
2. Changes which I did is correct or not?
Does anyone know how to DEBUG build an APK and launch it directly with Eclipse?
in my case, no matter whether i use Run> or Debug> menu command in Eclipse, my apk always logs Config.DEBUG as "false", although obviously the apk is signed with the key in factory debug.store.
I'm trying to debug native library (in particular, libril.so). Everythig is going fine, breakpoint is being hit, I can go thru the lines of RIL_onRequestComplete() function. But when I tried to print out particular struct I got,
(gdb) print pRI $2 = <value optimized out> (gdb) print pRI->pCI $3 = (android::._115 *) 0x613 (gdb) print pRI->pCI->requestNumber Cannot access memory at address 0x613
I suspect it could be due to optimization done by compiler. But when I tried to add,
LOCAL_CFLAGS := -g3 -O0
into makefile of the lib, I've got another problem when I cannot correctly set breakpoint on desired function. Instead of correct one,
(gdb) break RIL_onRequestComplete Breakpoint 1 at 0xae402e4e: file hardware/ril/libril/ril.cpp, line 1800.
I got,
(gdb) break RIL_onRequestComplete Breakpoint 1 at 0xffffab44: file bionic/libm/src/s_tanf.c, line 42.
Does anybody know what could be a problem, and what is the right way to handle this?
I used some of the code from the Android sdk examples.Legally I know apache is compatible with GPL3 (license for my code), but what do I do about the copyright notice in the code?Do I keep the "Copyright (C) 2009 The Android Open Source Project" and apache license and just indicate the content was changed.Has anyone dealt with this? The Legal dept has no clue.

I've never used git before, but I'd like to download the android source code as I'm getting a crash in the 2.2 emulator and I'd like to see exactly where in the android source code it's crashing (so I can file a better bug report). Edit A decent answer would include instructions on using git to download a specific repository. I'm on windows, but have installed Msysgit.

Is there a way to debug what's happening, just like I debug Java code?
I am programming Android applications, and the best way here may or may not be the same as Java in general.I simply want to be able to set a debug flag that will only execute certain portions of code when it's set to true equiv to C++ setting a preprocessor #define DEBUG and using #ifdef DEBUG.Is there an accepted or best way to accomplish this in Java?
Right now I'm just going to set a variable in my Application object, but I don't imagine this is the best way.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I debug android app, if I work with Java, I can use Log.d("TAG", "xxxx", new Throwable()) to print backtrace of Java code. This is really handy for me to find bugs. But when I work with native library (e.g. libwebcore.so), there seems no way to print backtrace in runtime. The only way to debug native code is use gdbserver.
I have a question: Is there any way to print backtrace in C/C++?
I have a activity B that is called by activity A, I want to debug the code in B. I have set the breakpoint, however the debug control never enters B.
CODE:................
When I debug in eclipse, although the class B is called from class A, the debbugger pointer never enters the new window, where I have placed a debug point in Class B. I am not able to take the pointer control to class B and stop at a specific point, which will help me verify certain variable values.
I'm trying to develop an android application that uses network connection. The server is up and running, but when i am trying to access it from the device that runs the android app (in debug mode-using eclipse) it outputs a message that 'cannot find the server' after a UnknownHostException occurs! I have tested the server with a java application and it works fine! What is the problem then with the device?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on two projects. One is essentially a library, and the other is an application using that library. Now from the application project, I want to use the library's classes, so I added that project to the "required projects" under java build path. It seems to compile fine, but at runtime, I get this error:
07-27 11:26:57.037: ERROR/dalvikvm(741): Could not find class 'interdroid.contextframework.ContextManager', referenced from method com.bartvanwissen.contextframeworktest.MainActivity.onCreate
Apparently, the library project's classes are not added to the apk file. How can I make sure they are included? Since I'm working on both projects at the same time, I would like to prevent having to create a jar file every time I want to test something.
I have an interesting problem. I pull down an android project from cvs, which works fine. Once Eclipse builds the project, my .java files are removed. XML files, pngs, everything else is fine. I seem to be left with just the package tree, but no source files. Any thoughts?
