Android :: AccountManager Authenticator Only Runs Once Per Emulator Restart
Nov 24, 2009
I have written a simple Authenticator service to work with the new AccountManager API introduced in 2.0. When I launch a test app that uses the authenticator the authenticator service is launched (as expected) and it's onBind method is called. However, if I run my test application a second time in the same emulator (without restarting the emulator) my service is not launched and onBind is not called.
So far the only way I have found to get my service to launch and onBind to call again is to restart the emulator, which is a very time consuming process. I have looked at the Devices view in Eclipse and ensured that all of my processes have been killed, just in case one of them was just being rebound to or something.

I am working on writing (and eventually releasing on the Android marketplace) a Google authenticator that will authenticate with Google and return a Google Auth Token (see: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/docs/auth/overview.html). The ultimate goal is to have this authenticator mirror the behavior of the com.google authenticator that comes with the Motorola Droid.
This will hopefully allow developers to have such an authenticator available to them on the SDK emulator as well as end-users with any phone running Android 2.0 that does not have the official Google version of the authenticator (ie: custom ROMs, future phones that don't get the full Google package, etc.).
Also, since there is no word on how long before any phones besides the Motorola Droid get Android 2.0, this will hopefully allow developers to start leveraging the new AccountManager APIs sooner rather than later (ie: via the SDK emulator).
I have created an open source project for this endeavor (see link below) that contains the first bit of work I have done on getting the Authenticator writen. If you are interested in contributing let me know, I am definitely open to the help or if you can offer insight as to the proper use of the new AccountManager API or some place I am using it wrong it would be much appreciated. Worst case scenario I'll plug away at this in my free time and at least people can use it as a reference for writing their own Authenticators in the future. [url]

I have an app that has a few checkboxes in the settings and then compiles a remote sql based on the checkboxes selected. i ran it in the emulator and it's fine. but then i exported it and published it as an app, and the same checked boxes aren't being passed correctly. i wonder if it's a caching issue or something. tried deleting the apks a few times and republish but to no avail. i "fake-edited" the source java and then export again, still no difference.
I'm kind of new to eclipse but is there a force build option? i only see build-automatically option under project but not sure how i can make sure that the apk exported is the same as run in the emulator
edit the emulator is version 1.5, and my phone is nexus one running 2.1- not sure if that makes a difference

Yesterday, my app worked fine on the emulator, but today after the app launches, I can't click on anything when the app runs. The code hasn't changed, my OnClickable event is wired up correctly and there are no errors in the compiler. I can't hit a breakpoint in the debugger. All the output in the console looks normal.

The problem I am having is that when I run a FWVGA or WVGA sized emulator it sometimes runs at a MDPI size instead of HDPI. Here is an example with pictures. I create the AVD with the proper hw.lcd.density setting and screen size and it randomly does this. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. I used to be able to just delete the AVD and create it over again and it would fix itself for a while but now it's getting worse.

If I run several emulators with -no-window option in one machine. The command "adb devices" shows:
List of devices attached
emulator-5554 device
emulator-5556 device
emulator-5558 device
However, according to this output, I can't tell the difference between each emulator device at all. I need to know which emulator runs on what AVD, then I can install APKs or send commands to the emulator.How can I recognize each emulator device or get the serial number of emulator after it runs?

I'm trying to use AccountManager to store account information and have implemented an authenticator, but I keep getting exceptions like the below that crash the phone. Comparing with sample code this seems to be because I don't have (or particularly want) a SyncAdapter and associated service. Is there a trick to using AccountManager without adding a SyncAdapter?
CODE:.................

I'm currently working on a project that uses Google App Engine as a server. I see that prior to the Android 2.0 SDK there was no way to directly access a user's Google Account information for the purposes of authentication. Do the new Account Manager APIs now make it possible to automatically log a user into a GAE app? Is anyone else working on something like this? Are there any publicly available examples on how to accomplish this?

I am developing a ToDo reminder type of app for android. on creation of a new reminder an alarm and vibrator scheduler is created with a toast. This works on intents and broadcasts and is pretty straight forward stuff with putextras using the reminder id from the db. My problem is, if some one restart the phone, i guess all the scheduled alarm and vibrator tasks for the reminder will be killed. Once the phone restart again how to recreate the scheduler tasks.

I'm trying to use the Google Data API for an installed application on Android 2.1. I don't want the user to have to enter their credentials if he already has an account configured on the device. Thus, I'm using the AccountManager with Account type "com.google".
But where to go from there? There are no samples from Google on how to do Google authentication (authTokenType etc.). There's a project trying to do it (http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator-for-android) in a general way but without any success, yet.
This is really keeping back applications like Google Reader clients which have to ask the user for their Google credentials (which hopefully nobody gives them).

I've got working code that uses the gdata to retrieve feeds from my user's Google Finance portfolios, but I had to use setUserCredentials(username,password). What I'd like to do is avoid asking the user for their username/password since the Android device already has access to their Google account.
I believe I should be able to do this with setUserToken(String), but I can't figure out how to get the appropriate token from Android. I've tried AccountManager.get(context).blockingGetAuthToken() but that's either not the correct call or I'm passing it the wrong arguments. Has anyone gotten gdata working with the user's existing Google credentials on the phone?

Ok so here's the deal guys and gals, I am trying to have my phone assist me with my running. There are plenty of apps that will track my run via gps if I bring my phone on the run with me, but I don't wanna do that. I want to be able to map a course out, enter how long it took me, save the map and even share it with friends. Ideally the app would have the gps running features I mentioned above just on case I ever do start bringing my phone with me. Here is an example of what I mean in website form (unfortunately they make a sweet app for the iphone but their android version is pretty awful right now.MapMyRun.com -

Does anyone know if there is a way to identify (in code, not LogCat) when the GC has run? Perhaps an intent is fired? I could analyze the LogCat output, but it would be ideal if I could determine when the GC has run from my code.

When I am developing for Android and repeatedly running and/or debugging an Android app in the emulator then about every two hours or so I get an Out-of-memory exception, occasionally also an out-of - resources- or out-of-GWT-handles exception. At that point one can only stop and restart eclipse. Apparently the ADK must be doing something wrong, because I have been developing with Eclipse now for 5+ years and I normally never see this. ADT is a really the exception here. Is there any setting or patch that helps top avoid this? I have already given it more heap space (750M) to stretch the time between these hickups a bit, but that approach isn't really sustainable.
This is using Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) and the Android SDK r06 running a FroYo AVD.

For my first application, the only testing I've really done to this point is on my Droid X. I want to think through the various hardware differences and come up with a testing plan that is representative of the Android landscape. My initial thought is to create a list of emulators that have unique qualities such as screen size and SDK levels. I've noticed very quickly how the UI of my application will need some adjustment when viewed on devices that don't carry a 4.3" screen. How have you approached this hurdle in your own development?

After deleting a phone device from the emulator, I can no longer hit the green triangle button in eclipse and have it launch my application in the emulator. I had been developing for 2.0.1, but then decided to try my app out in 2.1. I created a phone device for 2.1 and tried running it. I encountered some problems. Eclipse pops up a dialog box: Problem Occurred, Launching "my app" had encountered a problem. An internal error occurred during: 'Launching my app". When I look at details, it says: An internal error occurred during: "Launching Pingo". java.lang.NullPointerException.

Does anyone know of, or have implemented, a physics engine which runs smoothly in Android? I have spent the last couple of days trying Phys2D and JBox2D, however both perform very poorly - I am struggling to get even a few objects to simulate smoothly as frequent garbage collection spoils it. One question I do have is will these run smoother on an actual G1 device or is the performance of the emulator accurate?

I want to close my application, so that it no longer runs in the background.How to do that? Is this good practice on Android platform?If I rely on the "back" button, it closes the app, but it stays in background. There is even application called "TaskKiller" just to kill those apps in the background.

I have a WebView. I'm not quite sure how caching works for it. Ideally I'd like to load a web page from the network once (images included), then from then on only ever load it from the local cache. I'm not sure if we have this level of control over webview. Will it at some point just auto-clear the cache? How could I tell? I need to be sure that it's really keeping the page cached between different runs of my application.http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html.

I would like to add a chat feature to my application, which runs on both iphone and android platform.
Do you have any idea on how to make this ?
I have seen that tutorial : http://mobileorchard.com/tutorial-networking-and-bonjour-on-iphone/, but I don't know if it will work using the android NDK
I have also think about writing the architecture client/server in C but I'm not sure if it's the good solution ..
Do you have any idea ?
