View 1 Replies View RelatedHTC EVO 4G :: Screen Rotation - Delay When Switch From Horizontal Position To Vertical Position
Sep 29, 2010On my htc i was looking through display, i see g sensor calibration and i perform this calibration and after i do so the screen seems to have a delay when switch from the horizontal position to the vertical position. its weird because when i switch to the phone horizontally it switch normally and responds fast. but when i switch back to vertically it takes almost 7 seconds to actually switch back, sometimes it switch within 2 or 3 secs but never as quick as switching horizontally.

If you're already updated, shut down and repower (soft reboot) should do the trick. I actually updated my phone and after it started to do this. I restarted the phone plenty of times i even took the battery out for 30 seconds. It only does it when im texting on the browser, basically everything but the camera. He camera screen rotation is perfect. I even rooted the phone but i havent figured out how to use the root to fix the problem. Should i do a firmware update? Because i just did the htc software update.
Android :: HTTP Get Methods?
May 14, 2010I have written a number of applications for blackberry and am just starting in Android. It seems to me that android has a lot more built in functions. I am starting by recreating some of my BB apps on Android and on one I take a few xml sites and parse them out. On blackberry I implemented this by creating a class that extended a thread. I would construct a new instance of this class with the parameters of my http request and it would call a function back in my main class, sending it the results. I am tempted to reuse my code, but am curious if android has something better built in. I have been looking at the handler class as well as possible using a service.
Bascially, I would like to start a new thread that will return a document of a specific url.
Android :: Methods Of Intents Activity?
Jan 8, 2010I have two applications A and B (in different packages,but it doesn't matter).Application B is an sms application that i have made and contains one activity.This activity has a method called sendSMS(String number,String text).I want to call this method from application A and send an SMS without opening the activity(the GUI) of application B but just send an SMS in the background by calling just the method of the activity.Any ideas?

Oct 10, 2010So I'm writing an Android app which uses a large c++ library. I have everything working so that the java app can call the c++ delegation methods, but I'm finding myself wishing I could log messages from c++ to the Android log. This is easy from java, but I'm at a loss as to how to call a java method from c++. My searches found methods for opening a jvm from c++, which is not at all what I want to do. Ideally, I'd like to pass a log method pointer to c++, which could then be used whenever I wanted. Of course, java doesn't support method pointers.

Jun 15, 2010I have a MapView where I would like to be able to tap the map to create a new item at that location if there is no item there, or display the info about the item if there is.
I tried overriding both the onTap(int) and onTap(GeoPoint, MapView) methods but apparently if the second method is overridden the first never gets called (commenting one or the other lets each one work as I expected).
I thought about just checking if an item was at the location, but there doesn't seem to be any handy methods available to do that (other than iterating through the list of items and checking each manually).
Android :: Optimization Accessing Fields Vs Methods

Android :: Closing Old Methods / Activities In Application
Nov 24, 2010Need help closing/accessing my views in a simple app (included an img of my program layout) but I might have been too confusing. Basically, I have an app that has a main menu where the user can click a button to open a camera. The user then snaps a photo and it is displayed on a page. The user will then click another button that detects faces. If faces are detected, the user is sent to a final page that shows the cropped face, etc. I give the user the ability to return to the main menu or snap a new photo.
Let's say a new photo is snapped and the user does it a few more times. Now I have multiple saved instances of old snapped photos (presented on the layout). How do I kill the previous instance (the layout from before he decided to snap a new photo)? So when I try to close the app it doesn't go back to the previous instance (displayed layout of said snapped photo). I am so confused on this one thing.
Android :: How Java Generate Signatures For Methods
Oct 1, 2010I have an Java class with a static final method getAll:
CODE:..............
Now I want to hand in null as a value for the where statemant so that it will just be ignored later on in the code. Anyway in the testcase for this method I have: Vector<Category> categories = Category.getAll(context, null);
Which then in turn gives me a NoSuchMethodError. I don't know exactly why it does that. The only thing I could imagine is that the null I hand in would not match the signature of the above method. But how can I overcome this? I already thought of overloading. But this would just end in rewriting most of the code. At least when I do it, how I think.
This is the stack trace I get:

Android :: Graphics.Point - All Methods Are Stubs?
Jul 4, 2010I'm trying to use the Point class from android.graphics, but it appears that all the methods are stubs.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Accessing Shared Preferences Through Static Methods
Sep 27, 2010I have some information stored as SharedPreferences. I need to access that information from outsite an Activity (in from a domain model class). So I created a static method in an Activity which I only use to get the shared preferences. This is giving me some problems, since apparently it is not possible to call the method "getSharedPreferences" from a static method. Here's the message eclipse is giving me:
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method
getSharedPreferences(String, int) from the type ContextWrapper
I tried to work around this by using an Activity instance, like this:
public static SharedPreferences getSharedPreferences () {
Activity act = new Activity();
return act.getSharedPreferences("FILE", 0);
}
This code gives a null point exception. Is there a work-around? Am I going into an android-code-smell by trying to do this?
Android :: Using New Sdk Methods On Devices Running Older Sdks
Dec 21, 2009I'm using the level 5 sdk to compile my app, but set my target to sdk level 3 in my manifest. All is fine.
I may need to use some level 5 classes (ExifInterface) though. What's the right way to go about using them while not fouling things up for devices running older sdk versions? Do we simply restrict use of the newer API methods to completely separate class files? Something like this:
CODE:.................
so as long as the api methods are completely separated into files that the older devices won't invoke, we should be ok?

I don't care how I have to do it, I just need to be able to produce a list of Input Methods as they appear in the phone's Language and Keyboards menu and then store the user's selection. I thought maybe I could just use the InputMethodManager to launch the standard Input Method selection menu and then see which one the user picked by looking at which IME is currently selected after the menu closes, but as far as I can tell there's no way to see which IME is currently selected in the system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Using Activity Lifecycle Methods / What's Best Strategy For Binding?
Sep 15, 2010I'm binding to a local Service (that is, not using IPC and AIDL) from several activities. I want to ensure that I'm not holding references to this service from activities that the user isn't using. My options are: 1.) to bind to the service in onCreate() and unbind in onDestroy(). 2.) bind in onStart() and unbind in onStop(). 3.) bind in onResume() and unbind in `onPause(). Or some combination of these. Which is the best-practice way of binding and unbinding to a local service? Do I not need to be concerned with holding local connections from stopped activities? Additionally, once bound to this particular service I am retrieving a Cursor which is attached to my ListActivity via a CursorAdapter. The data retrieved by the Cursor may have changed while the Activity was out of view so I want to requery it when the Activity is shown again. If I bind in onCreate() I can requery in onRestart(). If I bind in onResume() each time the data will be fresh because I'll query it in the Service's connected callback.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid : Ant Vs Eclipse / Build Methods Are Behaving Differently?
Mar 15, 2010The Eclipse build for my 1.6 application project is succeeding and the Ant build is failing. I'm looking for help on why they aren't behaving the same way.
We are developing on Mac OSX 10.5.8 with Eclipse 3.5 against SDK 1.6 + Google APIs. There are no setting changes in Eclipse, either at workspace or project level. Similarly, our ant is also a vanilla- flavored unmodified installation of 1.7.1. JDK is 1.5.0_22. The CLASSPATH environment variable is not set. JAVA_HOME is /Library/Java/ Home
The application was initially created by a team member using the Eclipse plugins. The application references two jar files, one of which has a dependency on javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSeeAlso, which is not defined anywhere in our code or in android.jar. The other jar file has an explicit dependency on android.jar. I generated the Ant build file using android update.
The Eclipse project builds an apk and runs the application in the emulator. I think this is incorrect behavior.
The Android project fails to build. I think this is correct behavior. MyClass.java:98: cannot access javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSeeAlso[javac] file javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSeeAlso.class not found
Any ideas as to why the two build methods are behaving differently? I would expect them both to fail.
