Android :: Better Way To Implement Backwards Notification From Installd To Installer?

May 21, 2010

I plan to make some tasks like DEX file optimization be processed by installd on the background asynchronously, thus installd needs to notify the Installer of the result at some uncertain point when the request has been processed. Currently, a socket connection will be established each time when Installer sends request to installd and the connection will be closed when it returns. Thus I plan to hold another persistent socket connection for the backwards notification. Then whenever a request has been processed, installd can notify Installer through the persist socket.

Is there any other way to implement this?

Android :: How To Implement Detail Notification

Aug 13, 2010

I'm trying to write a program that manages a form of messages, and these messages are received from an external data source. This all works. However, the problem comes when I try to notify the user: I would like to have the notification jump directly to the message when it is touched, but this seems to mess up the back stack. This is probably best explained by example:

I open up the message list, the main activity, and browse for a while.
I hit home and go into another app (let's say Music).
A new message is received. A notification comes up, which I touch. The message detail view is displayed.
Now I hit Back. What I want to have happen is that I return to Music, but unfortunately, Back sends me to the message list, and then hitting Back will return me to music.

The both the list and the detail activities are marked as "singleTop", and the exact flags that I use for the notification Intent are:

FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP

I figure if the Messaging application can do this, why can't I?

Android :: StartForeground Backwards Compatibility

Nov 15, 2009

I've got a question as I don't have an Android 2.0 device to test on and this particular aspect seems untestable in the emulator. I've got a service that needs to be run as a foreground service. I have a notification that stops it etc, so I have no problem using startForeground instead of setForeground. However, I'd like to have 1 version of my app that works across all platforms... Is this possible? If my app is compiled with Android 1.5 and uses setForeground, then will that command actually work on an Android 2.0 device, or does it not matter which sdk was used to compile? I've tried compiling with 2.0, and surrounding the call to startForeground with a try/catch, but that throws a VerifyError when the service is started, when run on a 1.5/6 device since startForeground doesn't exist there. Can I catch and ignore the VerifyError somehow and make it work that way?

Android : Aapt Backwards Compatibility

Dec 14, 2009

Are the newest versions of aapt backwards compatible with the older versions? i.e. can i read 1.0 & 1.5 apks with the 2.0.1 SDK aapt? My tests show me it works, but is it failsafe?If this is not the case, what's the easiest way to determine the android version an APK was developed for and know which aapt binary to use?

Android :: Create Separate Applications - Backwards Compatible?

Dec 1, 2009

Is Android backwards compatible, in other words can an application developed in Android 1.6 run in Android 2.0? I just published a 2.0 application and discovered that I can't find it in the market using my G1 (Android 1.6) phone. But apparently others are downloading it. Should I downgrade the application to 1.6 or do I need to create separate applications for each Android version?

Android :: Stay Backwards And Forwards Compatible - TargetSDKVersion Hdpi MinSDKVersion?

Apr 16, 2010

Here's my situation: I have an app that's been compiled using 1.5 SDK and minSdkVersion=3. Now I want to add 2 icons: one for high density screens like Droid and another one for low density screens like G1.

For this, I added the high density icon to new directory drawable-hdpi- v4/. I then compiled using 1.6 sdk and added targetSdkVersion="4" to the manifest. minSdkVersion is still 3.

This is working in limited testing, but I'm not sure if I have done everything correctly.

I have many questions:
1. By specifying v4 in drawable-hdpi-v4, the icon will not be displayed to 1.5 or below OS's. But what about users with 2.0 or higher SDK's? Will they get the non-hdpi icon, since they will have v6 or v7 ?

2. The documentation for targetSdkVersion states, "Specifying this target version allows the platform to disable compatibility settings that are not required for the target version (which may otherwise be turned on in order to maintain forward-compatibility)". Does this mean that my app will not be forward compatible as soon as I specify a targetSdkVersion? What exactly is being turned off?

3. Even if I leave out the targetSdkVersion="4", the app runs ok. So do I really need it?

4. Should I be using the latest SDK (2.1) and setting that as the targetsdkversion and compiling against that? Or some other combination of targetsdkversion and compiling sdk? I'm not using any API's that are not in 1.5..

5. Is any of this related to why some of my HTC Eris users have complained that they can no longer find my app in Market after upgrading to 2.1?

Android :: Save An Application Installer

Jul 26, 2010

When you scan a qr code, the Dx auto downloads the application installer and executes it. Is there a way (possibly on the pc instead) to just download the app installer, and archive it for later use? I'm thinking about things like fancy widgets, that had to be removed, updated apps that are not as attractive as the original release, or applictions that might just vanish over time. They are all small, and I'd prefer to archive them on our PC, just in case. Is there a way to pull the installers off the internal memory of the phone?

Android :: Running Heavy Application - 700 Mb - Apk Installer

Aug 18, 2010

I developed an "heavy" application (700 Mb !). With an "apk installer" application, i can install it on the Nexus One SD card (Froyo "installLocation" option). My application is heavy because of the videos it contains (located in /raw directory). The problem I have, is that it crashes when launched, with this error :

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

I dont't understand the reason of this error, because when i try the same thing with a lighter application (250 Mb) it runs perfectly. Has anyone of you ever had this kind of problem ? Do you know if there is a size limit for applications to work ?

Android :: Pass Parameters To The Marketplace Installer For An App?

Feb 10, 2010

When providing a user on a mobile, a link to an android application via a web page, it is possible for params from the url to be passed to the app being installed.

I'm guessing the answer is no - but it doesn't help to ask.

The reasoning being that it would be handy for some situations to have a generic app that pulls config information from the referrer.

Android :: Free Space Required For Package Installer

Sep 7, 2009

The package installer looks to take up a good amount of space when installing applications. We've published a very large game (ProjectINF - 6mb). And it looks to be taking up a good amount of space during the install process, to the point that we have a lot of users emailing us with complaints/requests to "fix it".

From what we've seen, it looks to take about 22mb of free space to install a 6mb apk. While I can imagine taking double or so for unpacking and temp locations, almost 4x the size seems a bit high. After an install with 22mb free, the device has 16mb free (which makes perfect sense). Users also seem to be getting errors on the market when trying to install with less than that amount of space (with no real clear error message, just "Install Failed".

Android :: Failed To Install Apk File By Package Installer

Nov 24, 2010

I have some problem installing my apk file in code. Wondering if anyone could find out what I did wrong.
What I was trying to do is put a Check Upgrade function in our program. When user clicks it, it will send request to our web server and find out what is the latest version. I use app versionName to stamp a version, something like 2010.11.23. I don't use the version code in Manifest.xml file. So our program sees the latest VersionName is later than itself, it will download the latest one, and then use the following code to install the new apk file:

CODE:........

Now looks like, everytime when I changed the VersionName, it will fail to install the apk file. It downloads the file fine. I don't know exactly why. Sometimes, in Eclips, when I hit debug, I got error saying "Re-installation failed due to different application signatures". I don't know if this is the same error caused the installation failed.

So, looks like my questions are:

Should that upgrade logic work? I am wondering if it has something to do with the VersoinName.
What could cause the application signature change? (I did sign our program before I put it on our server, but I always use the same key file for different versionName. )

Android :: Installing Applications From Installers - Wheres Installer?

Apr 6, 2009

Couple of really big issues here that SHOULD be no brainers! But, they aren't. Anyone know what the EXACT name of an application installer on the Market that allows me to install appliations from the memory card? I've been looking for a few weeks now. A search for application installers that allow me to install a .apk file from the memory card turn up mentions about "Apps Installer" and "Application Installer", but I can't find anything with that name in the Android Market. Partial name searches like "Installer" turn up NO results. (That's not very "Google Like", now isn't it? The Android Market website, BTW doesn't allow you to search? Is that right? You can only search the Android Market from the phone? I can understand not allowing us to DOWNLOAD from the market to our PC, but not search so I can find the appliation name I want?
