Are there any Android APIs that allow the application to retrieve the GSM Timing Advance?
I am new to the droid family. I bought the Eris Droid about 2 months ago. I wanted to be able to chat with my family, get on facebook, have directions to places my husband refuses to get directions for. A little bit of everything and the droid fits me perfectly. EXCEPT I'm really not liking the battery life. I fully charged in late yesterday, didn't use it much since and this am the battery is almost depleted. I changed some settings on my incoming mail and cleared cache. What else am I missing? I hope a stronger longer lasting battery will be forthcoming.

Whenever I try to open the .gba game Gameboid just closes little bit after I click it. It is the right BIOs file and the Pokemon game is a custom/hacked game.

I am using ContactAccessor abstract class to seperate out the SDK versions.
My code is running fine for 2.0 onwards, but when I am trying to build the code in Adnroid 1.6 I am getting the following errors:
Build.VERSION_CODES.ECLAIR is not resolved.
Getting errors in the whole class in which I have used Contacts APIs from 2.0 (say in class ContactAccessorSdk5.java).
How to resolve these issues?
I want to run my App on both the versions.
I would like to produce an android user interface which allows the user to move added components/widgets around the screen by selecting them and then dragging them around.
Is this possible using the standard android apis?
I'm a newbie developer in Android.
I want to make an app like SetCPU that can manipulate cpu frequency in Android.
But I couldn't find some related APIs or materials.
I want to know following two things sincerely.
1) Are there APIs to change cpu frequency in Android?
2) If not, are there some APIs in linux?
Does Android have APIs for HTTP progressive download for media files?

In these cases, I would like to force the background task to fail if it runs for an excessive amount of time.I know that I can invoke the "get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)" method of AsyncTask in my UI thread in order to terminate my background task if it runs too long. However, in that case, my UI will block while this "get()" command is waiting.There are probably other drawbacks to directly calling "get()" in this manner, not the least of which being an evil interaction with the "done()" method of AsyncTask's contained FutureTask object, which itself is calling "get()" at least this is what I see when I look at the source code for AsyncTask.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to ask a question regarding the Alarm Manager. I have a requirements of setting long running timers in my application. The minimum duration for my timer is 1 hour...and the maximum may be for 4-5 days. This timer is supposed to run in the background, and when it fires/expires, i have to show something on the GUI. The timer can be re-scheduled once it fires based on user action.
What is the best approach for scheduling such long running timers ?
Should i make use of the Alarm Manager ? Or will it be an overkill ? As far as i know, alarms are retained even if the device goes to sleep and they wake up the device when the alarm goes off.
I am thinking of using a simple Java TimerTask as an alternative to setting an alarm: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/TimerTask.html.
But i am not sure what will happen to the timer task if the device went to sleep while the task was running.
I'm doing my thesis work on resource management on android and I want to be able to measure the "responsiveness" of an application to figure out if the application get enough resources and is scheduled often enough.
So what I want is a way to insert timestamps on events, e.g. button clicks, when they are created and when they are consumed. This way I can get the "responsiveness" of the application. But I have a hard time of finding exactly where the events are created and also consumed.
In Handler.java there is the handleCallback(Message message) method which I can insert the end time stamp. I tried to add a long variable in the Message class and that worked well (had to rebuild the api though). So my problem is to find the place where the button click is generated and where the message that corresponds to that event is being created so I can add a time stamp.
I also welcome other suggestions on how to measure the "responsiveness" of an application or other way to measure how well an application performs.
Why the time above the adroid bat graph and the one below are different. At this moment is says on my device 1h 28 minutes on battery. Below the graph 50m 22s is shown. What is the difference between those timers ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was curious about the nature of the handleMessage() and sendMessage() behavior of the Handler class. I want to be able to send message to another thread in such a way that the destination thread can process the message queue when it wants to. It seems, however, that the message is processed by handleMessage() practically as soon as it's sent.
I'm trying to design a game loop thread that does something like this:
CODE:.....
However, I as soon as sendMessage() is called (from the parent/calling thread), the Handler.handleMessage() is processed (in the child/receiving thread), even if the child/receiving thread is blocking in a while loop.
I've seen this problem solved in other games by using a thread-safe list (ConcurrentLinkedQueue). The UI thread just posts events to this queue, and the game loop can remove the events as it seems fit. I just assumed the Handler class was designed for this purpose. It seems it's more intended for asynchronous callbacks to the parent thread.
Till some days ago, I was using mojo gba lite for playing my favorite games from Gameboy Advance (.gba format)...but after I updated my samsung galaxy fit s5670, running 2.2, to the official gingerbread update 2.3.4, the app stopped loading my .gba files...I just get a black screen, though with the onscreen controls still visible (but not usable), and my phones menu button also didn't produce any response from the app...after which the app just closes...
I tried other gba emulators, but none have worked so far on my phone (with 2.3.4)...

I need a nice looking widget that I can put on my first homescreen that will show me calender appointments up to 2 weeks in advance. The 1x4 HTC calender widget on my Hero only shows events for today and tomorrow. I have tried Astrid but the widget is ugly. Are there any others? I would ideally like it to use the width of the screen and allow me to scroll through events.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android app in which I would like to use multi-touch. However, I do not want to completely leave out those still running a 1.x OS phone. How do you program the app so that you can use the 2.x multi-touch APIs (or any other higher level API for that matter) and still allow it to gracefully degrade on 1.x systems. If you create a project in Eclipse for 1.x can you even still access the 2.x APIs?
Basically I want it to show up in the marketplace and work on all 1.6 and higher phones and just allow access to the higher level functionality if available.
Also, if anyone can point me to any data on the number of 1.x devices vs. 2.x devices in use.

Please let me know if there is a way to stop the screen from timing out (going dark) during a phone call. I find it annoying to have to hit the power button to get the screen back..
I'm using earbuds so the phone isn't near my face and it recognizes the phones as I can see the headset icon. I keep the phone on my desk and the screen times out almost immediately after I make a call and accept an incoming call. It's extremely annoying since I make a ton of work calls and I need to either navigate through an auto attendant and / or leave a message. All of which I have to hit the power button every single time I want the screen to turn back on. I have noticed that the volume buttons turn the screen back on as well.
The screen timeout is set at 2 minutes under the "Sound & Display" category but that doesn't effect the screen time out during a call. Anyone out there have a solution?
I have recently started working on an app which has both Java and native components. I am trying to generate trace information for both components using Debug.startMethodTracing("myapp") and Debug.startNativeTracing() alternately.
However, both are behaving unexpectedly.
When I use Debug.startMethodTracing("myapp"), I can see a file /sdcard/myapp.trace being created but it is always empty no matter how long I run my app. When I use Debug.startNativeTracing() and start the emulator with the -trace <tracename> switch, I see a message saying "Trace started", but when I try to run my app, the
emulator crashes.
It seems a little ahead of tomorrows Google event.But I'm already getting many complaints that my app fails completely under Android 2.2.So that scares me a lot!Anyone know when the API might be released? Tomorrow perhaps?
