I am writing a count down timer, using .postdelayed(), that speaks each second as the timer goes down to zero. I have trouble understanding the consequences of the user hitting the back or home button.
The countdown continues when hitting either button. When home is pressed and you reclick the app, it goes back to the same count(this is what i always want) and continues to count down. When you hit the back key and then reclick the app, you get a new clock that has not started but I still here the sounds from the original timer. How can I code an app so it only can have one instance and chicking the app icon will always go to the active version if it is running?
I'd like to get the value of Count column from cursor.
CODE:...............
I tried to get this count column value from cursor like below
Cursor cR = mDbHelper.getRCount(cplace);if (cR.getCount() > 0){long lCount = cR.getLong(0);}cR.close();}
I got the debug error. How to get it?
Could I use nested cursors?
I keep getting the "GREF count to 301" in the LogCat, when i try to run my code. Any solutions or suggestions on how to fix this error .

View 3 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the Gmail Unread Count application and I am a little confused. If I go into the "all programs" folder it is not listed. But, when on the home screen, if i click the "+" sign and "add widget" it's listed there.Is there a reason I can't see it unless I want to add it to my home page or is this a problem with my phone? Also, is there a place to see a complete list of my WIDGETS being that they're not listed in the "all programs" list?Lastly, I see alot of people post a white box picture with black stuff in it, as if to scan it somehow. What is this and why and how would I scan it?
View 4 Replies View Relatedmost other smart phones display the unread email count as a small number in the lower right hand corner of the email application icon. I like that. After realizing that this is not supported by the GMail app, I started looking around the market for a widget that achieves this. All I found was a commercial widget, which did not satisfy me (the count did not get instantly updated when the unread mail count changed). Therefore I want to develop a widget, which accomplishes exactly that.Many of you probably have more experience in android development than I do, so I would be happy to hear your opinions. I see two ways to realize this:
1) Somehow hook into a content provider of the GMail app and extract the unread mail count directly from there. Unfortunately the GMail app is not part of the SDK and closed source. Therefore I have no idea how to find out about the internal workings of the app and how to extract the unread mail count directly from there.
2) The second approach is much more indirect and has more overhead, but it will work nevertheless. I will let the user provide google username and password and log into the google imap server directly and find out how many unread mail there are. A port of the JavaMail library for the android OS should make this quite simple. The question remains when to update the mail count. What should trigger the update? A periodic time-out? Well, my first idea would be to update it when the widget is first started and then every time a new mail notification comes in. However I don't know whether this is possible. Can I tell my application to react to notifications, which where produced by another application (GMail app in our case) ?
I really think there should be a free unread gmail widget, which accomplishes this! I would be happy to receive feedback.
Does it count as antivirus? I've been browsing some threads and people say antivirus apps are causing texting to force close and randomly delete all messages. I keep having this problem and was wondering if uninstalling Wave secure would help

The simplified situation is like that: I have a function (say, foo()) for which I want to track the number of instructions executed and the function itself calls another function (say, bar()), for which I also want to keep track of the number of instructions executed, something like: Code...

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy ultimate goal is to limit records that are able to be created so that I can have a trial version of my application. I'm thinking I can do this rather simply by returning an int variable within a sqlite count statement, and using a simple IF statement to determine if a new record should be created.

locMan = (LocationManager)con.getSystemService (Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Location loc = locMan.getLastKnownLocation (LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); Bundle extraBundle = loc.getExtras();
extraBundle is null. So, I can't call
extraBundle.getInt("satellites").
I have couple of apps (billboard100 and xmplayer) that had been reaching download/installs of 10k/9k+ and 9k/6k respectively. This morning the counts dropped to 1k/1k and 5k/3k. How is that possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedTake a simple XML file formatted like this code...
Each node has some attributes that actually hold the data of the file. I need a very quick way to count the number of each type of element, (List and Note). Lists is simply the root and doesn't matter.
I can do this with a simple string search or something similar, but I need to make this as fast as possible.
Design Parameters:
Must be in java (Android application).
Must AVOID allocating memory as much as possible.
Must return the total number of Note elements and the number of List elements in the file, regardless of location in file.
Number of Lists will typically be small (1-4), and number of notes can potentially be very large (upwards of 1000, typically 100) per file.
I am creating an App in which i need to add a timer for postpone the one event for 1 hr and start same event after 1 hr , so i want to know how i can implement the same. Are there any Timer api's and handling of them in android.
I came to know about Timer in android. I read http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2007/11/stitch-in-time.html that Timer is not available at Runtime.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI released an app a few days ago and saw the total & active install count start moving pretty much immediately. However, over the last day or so it seems to have stalled. Judging from the ad metrics from AdMob over the same period though I'm pretty sure it's getting more downloads. Does anyone have any insight on how frequently Google updates these counters on the Developer Console?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe wanted to follow-up. By now, you should have noticed that the installs metrics for your applications have been restored. We identified the problem as occurring with application updates only, have made some changes recently that should resolve and prevent this problem. Please let us know if this error persists.
If we can assist you further, please let us know. In my case, things have not changed at all. Downloads are increasing (1550) and active installs stabilized at 29% (the value before the drop was 44/45%). So, indeed active installs are increasing again - 29% is stable since three weeks - but the original percentage was not restored. Now, I don't know what to think... Maybe the problem is not solved, maybe in my specific case the active installs really dropped for a while (but it's curious that it only happened for a while...). BTW, I didn't release any new upgrade since then (I have a new one almost ready, but I'm beyond schedule because of personal problems) - and maybe the count would fix itself with new upgrades...
What would you do now? Is there anybody else for which the problem was not solved?

I have a full-screen TextView holding a long Spanned that requires scrolling. The TextView's getLineCount() gives me the total number of lines used for the entire block of text but I'd like to know how many lines of text are currently visible on the screen.
Or, better yet, is there a way to figure out the range of lines currently visible on the screen? For example, as the view scrolls, can I tell that lines 20-60 are currently visible?
I have a service that I need to execute every two minutes. Would it be more efficient to use an alarm or a timer?
