Android :: Comprehensive Documentation On Droid's XML Shapes?
Apr 8, 2010
I've been looking around for this for a long time but can never seem to find it in the Android documentation. There's all sorts of advanced things I see, but I can never find any solid documentation - there's the shapes package, but it provides no insight on how to use them in xml. The best I can do so far is finding other people's examples.
Is there some magical documentation that exists for the XML shapes?

I've seen the DROID users guide online and of course the one that comes with the device. But there are a Lot of things missing and honestly I don't want to have to always "figure it out". Is there some comprehensive guide available that details everything? For example, I'm using a widget that came with the phone, I think its the Power Control widget. There is one control on there (looks like a Refresh icon). I have no clue what it does. Lastly, does anyone know if Moto, Google, Verizon has a feedback forum. I like the phone and it has some really cool features, but I have some feedback (positive of course) to help them improve it.

I'm trying to build a layout where some shapes will popup every 2 seconds. If the user will click one of these shapes, they have to disappear.
What is the correct way of doing this? I thought about a thread, but i missed out.
Here's my code at the moment (is not working):

If I draw a round rect shape by code I can use setShadowLayer to get a shadow drawn for the shape. Is there an equivalent when defining shapes in XML?The following example draws a round rect background to a shape. What would I need to add to get a shadow added to the shape? Is it even possible using XML? Code...

I'm using Eclipse with the Android SDK. I installed The SDK platform Android 1.6, API 4 using Android SDK and AVD manager, but I can't find the corresponding documentation in the list of the available packages (there's only the doc for the API 7). Where can I find it?

How to view the comprehensive list of apps in the marketplace? Do I need to buy a handset AND the service with it to see the marketplace? I don't want to start developing before I know what the market really looks like. The android.com website offers only a few apps.

I am very new to android development and have been trying to draw a square comprised of multiple smaller rectangles of different colours... Like a Mosaic essentially. Basically at the moment I am reading values from a file which assigns the colour to the smaller Rects. I am using a pair of nested for loops to try to draw the small Rects sequentially, line by line. However when the program finishes there is only one small Rect drawn which is the last one to be drawn and its colour corresponds to the first value read from the file. Here is some of my code to show you what I mean:
public SnapshotDraw(Context context) {
super(context);
for(int a = 0; a < 63; a++){
for(int b = 0; b < 63; b++){
fileName = PREFIX + "2" + EXTENSION;..............

A small notice here to say I found an error in the documentation, when building a radio button context menu in XML.
On this page, in the Menus section, under 'Elements and Attributes' for the <group> tag. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resourc...
"checkableBehavior - Whether the items are checkable. Valid values: none, all (exclusive / radio buttons), single (non-exclusive / checkboxes)"
This should actually be the other way round: * all (non-exclusive / checkboxes) * single (exclusive / radio buttons)

I am Graduating in Computing Science, and my final project is a complete research in Android's Platform, with a development of an application. I would like to know how can I get the complete documentation, beacause my research is very thorough, and I relly on books and documentation. The current site I am reading about methods and activities, etc is the Dev Guide on developer.android.com. I don't know if is it complete there. But if you know, could you please show me the link, or tell me how to get it?

Looking for somebody to point me in the right direction whether it's on this forum or not. I'm very savvy with technology and have been a part of the jailbreak movement since the beginning. I just keep seeing a lot of foreign terms here. I keep reading threads in their entirety but I can't seem to find something that brings it all together as a process.

you have spent hours, days, weeks or more configuring your android system downloading apps, populating your address book, tweaking your settings, etc. your phone is as perfect as you can make it at this point without Froyo. You get up from the sofa to go grab a cold one from the fridge. Just as you guzzle that first refreshing swig, you hear a whack and a plop. Investigating, you find that your nephew Sebastian has tested his scaled-down toy carpenter hammer on your screen and then dumped the whole affair into the toilet. Not good. Whether you are able to salvage the damaged phone or are forced to buy a replacement, you need to restore the system, including all of your apps, configuration settings, contacts, etc. But where is the backup? And what types of backup are appropriate for bail-out from different situations?
So, here is the definitive scoop. Follow this and ye shall not be led astray nor shall your data crumble:
(1) Download and execute a one-click rooting solution for your phone. This is easy, will not harm your phone, and is necessary for the backup software to acquire a level of access to be able to back up your entire system..................

I noticed WebView seemed to have some new methods I didn't remember from before. Unfortunately I can't tell exactly which ones are new, without actually trying them and waiting for the SDK to catch the mistake.Could the docs please state in which API release a method, class, interface, enum etc was added? This is pretty fundamental to know when trying to figure out how to implement something.

I have been using the Android documentation for a few days now, and it is quite good and easy to read. Apart from that I noticed that I missed something, and now I found out what it is: Examples and comments.
If you look at the PHP documentation (e.g. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php for the PHP substr() function) you will see many syntax-highlighted examples and comments by users.
Of course there are examples in the Android documentation, especially in the Dev Guide category - they just are not at the right place if one searches the reference for a specific method or functionality. What do you think about this?

The documentation does not make the interation between onUpgrade() and onCreate() clear.
When implementing onCreate() should this create the database at version 1, assuming that onUpgrade will apply all of the patches to bring it up to version x (lets say version 5 for example)? Or should onCreate build the latest version of the database, and onUpgrade is only used to upgrade legacy clients.
I kind of prefer the first, because it effectively means that the same SQL is executed for everybody. Whereas the second options means that there is a potential for onCreate to build something slightly different to the succession of patches built by onUpgrade.
I can always make onCreate call into onUpgrade, however, this is the kind of implementation detail that should go into the javadocs...

I'm trying to find some official android documentation that discusses sleep mode, with a focus on issues that might be of relevance to app developers. For example, things like:
1. What causes a device to enter / exit sleep mode?
2. How are running processes impacted when the device enters sleep mode? (I believe they continue to exist, but don't execute because cpu activity is suspended. When the device wakes up execution picks up where it left off?)
There is some good info in the API docs for PowerManager and WakeLock, but nothing there that explicitly states what I have assumed in point 2 above. Are the above issues (and any other relevant issues) documented anywhere?

On the documentation page "Developing on a Device" http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html there may be two errors in the section "Setting up a Device for Development."
First: To run (not debug) an app on a device, you do not need to set the "debuggable" attribute in the manifest. The documentation implies this is a requirement. It may be a good idea, but, when stepping an absolute beginner through the process of running their first app, this is an unnecessary detour.
Second: The instructions for turning on USB debugging don't mention the Settings activity: "On the device, go to the home screen, press MENU, select Applications > Development, then enable USB debugging."
The first error is more of a quibble, but the second seems to be actual misinformation that may puzzle a beginner, wondering why there isn't an "Applications" item on the Home app menu. In most cases this should go "Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging," and the menu key is not involved.
