Android :: Emulator - Huge Icons On Desktop And Wrong Density
Apr 22, 2010
I was working with Eclipse some minutes ago and I simply launched the emulator with a couple of AVDs that I created (QVGA, HVGA and WVGA screens). I've been doing thta for months, in order to check that every time I change something, the app looks fine for each type of phone.
The problem is that suddenly, the emulator in QVGA and WVGA start with huge icons on the desktop. They even overlap and the home of Android is corrupted. And when I run any application to test the emulator, the screen only shows a portion of the main View. It's like everything was zoomed in. I'm blocked because I can't use anymore the emulator. I'm going to remove completely Eclipse and re-install it, but I don't know if it will be enough.

I am trying to simply test my app under a QVGA setting, but 95% of the time when I run the QVGA emulator I created, it loads the resources associated with HVGA. I have custom bitmaps that I include in my app, so it's crucial for me to be able to verify the appearance.Can someone tell me why the emulator is not loading the low density drawables? The drawables in this QVGA emulator are the same exact size as the drawables in the HVGA emulator (not what I want), and yes, I scaled down the pictures before adding them to the LDPI folder (drastically smaller). For no apparent reason, once in a while the emulator will actually load properly and everything displays correctly, but again, this only happens about 5% of the time with no apparent reason for why.

I read the official document about supporting multiple screens http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
According to that document, I should just create different directories for different resolultion.
Now the question. How to support devices with normal screen and high density or low density?
I ask it because, there are two posibilities (WVGA800 (480x800) and WVGA854 (480x854)) and (WQVGA400 (240x400) and WQVGA432 (240x432)) and I don't know where to store some background images for them.
I would take drawable-normal-hdpi or drawable-normal-ldpi, but how to make difference between 480x800 and 480x854 or between 240x400 and 240x432?!

1) Is there a way of changing the icon of the folders from the dull plain grey one provided? if so how ?
2) Where are those folders created on the system ?

I have a G1, love it, but it has a wimpy battery as many of us know. I have been wondering if widgets, desktop icons and even the choice of wallpaper, or picture that is used for the desktop background make any real difference in battery life. No matter how I use the phone, the display is always the main or at least major component of battery usage.
I read on an android website that desktop widgets do tax the battery and it was also suggested that having all three desktops full of icons also does so. Lastly, I was thinking that a black desktop ( I took a picture of a piece of black paper ) would use the least battery because the screen is not producing any light. Any input on these things ? If it would give appreciably better battery life, I would black out the desktops as I have done and not have any icons or widgets.

I was just wondering if it is possible to show more than four icons in folders on the android desktop?
I sometimes have apps in the folders and have no idea they are in it until I open the folder.

Jelly Bean takes too much room in spacing. I'd like the top 2 widgets to be closer, allowing more folders icons on desktop. Is this possible without reverting to a new Launcher?

When I send latitude/longitude points to the Emulator (using DDMS with GPX file or using "geo fix" from command line) the locations received by Apps on the Emulator are slightly off. So like I send a latitude of 41.74 and onLocationChanged recevies a Location, and I to toString() on it and get a longitude of : 41.74016776666667 Tested with my own app and then with Google Maps on the Emulator to double check. So its not an app issue.

If I want to render just a huge map, what is the best practice when using OpenGL ES with a mobile device (Android or iPhone based)? What is the best structure to contain all the vertices, normales and texture coordinates? I guess using a interleaved structure may give you some performance benefits caused by memory caching. Ok? Should I use drawArrays or drawElements to push my data to OpenGL ES? Well, I did no testing at all but I might think, that drawElements might be faster if the GFX does not use shared memory since you do not have to push that much data. Since this is really close to metall, what do you think? (the iPhone is ARM based while the Android platform is Qualcomm based (also an ARM?)

I have some Android code that can send files to my webserver using an HttpsUrlConnection, but when it tries to send larger files I get an OutOfMemory exception when opening the OutputStream. Can anyone offer some assistance?
It looks something like this:
code:..............
This is where I try different things. The closes solution has been: httpConn.setChunkedStreamingMode(1024); In this case, I don't get the OutOfMemory immediately when opening the OutputStream, but I see the heap growing as I os.write() and it eventually runs out.
code:..............

The quick desk and bar control apps are so far my favourite. Previously I had my switches/toggles of WiFi/3g/gps/silent/bluetooth on the desktop. Now I have these switches in quickdesk. Thats not all - using the bar control app I can have any shortcuts in my slide down bar. So I just added the quickdesk app in my bar. The benefit is that I can now access my switches/toggles from anywhere.
For example if I am using my browser and forgot to switch on WiFi, while browser is open I just slide down the bar and through quick desk switch on WiFi. This means that I do not need to navigate away from the current app that is open. Normally you would have to minimize the current app open and navigate to desktop to toggle switches, then go back to the app you were using.

I noticed a huge drop in sessions for all of my apps (using Flurry). I don't think the problem is reporting, since ad revenue and sales were also affected. Sessions for my most popular game plunged yesterday to a level of a month ago, and all my apps saw a similar drop (about 25-30%). I didn't see anything about outages or issues on any of the blogs I follow...anyone here know anything?

I swap the giant clock on homescreen for something much smaller? I need more real estate and cant figure out how to disable it for the life of me. I also like weather but it, too, should be much smaller if there is different weather application.

I'm wondering if it is possible to inflate a layout using a different density value than the default system density. I have a high density layout, which looks good on the Galaxy Tab (1024x600px, hdpi) and I like to use the same layout on another tablet with the same pixel resolution but medium density. The mdpi layout which is used works on the device but the screen just looks really empty and I would prefer to scale things up. So is there a xml argument for scaling the layout, maybe something similar to Bitmap.Options.targetDensity. Or could this be done with a new LayoutInflater class?

Is it possible to force Android to use a given LCD density value? For example, if the app is running on a WVGA phone that reports LCD density of 160DPI *and* screen size of 3.7inch, one of those two values must be wrong. Is it possible to tell Android to ignore the 160DPI value and use 240DPI instead (for my Activity only)?

I'm getting ready to release my first application the marketplace. It's being written for devices running Android 1.5 and above, however there aren't any specific folders for the three different screen densities (I think those came around in 1.6). Should I make these folders myself? Where should I put image resources for the different densities and what should I put in my Manifest?
