Android :: Custom Contacts Field With A Set List Of Values And Contacts Lookup Performance
May 28, 2010I'm pretty sure it's not viable to do what I'd like to based on some initial research, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask the community of experts here in case someone knows a way.
I'd like to create a custom field for contacts that the user is able to edit from the main Contacts app; however, the user should only be allowed to select from a list of four specific values. A short list of string values would be ideal, but an int with a min/max range would suffice.
I'm interested in knowing if it's possible either way, but also wondering if it make sense to go this route performance wise. More specifically, would it be better to look up a contact (based on a phone number) each time a call or SMS message is received or better to store my own set of data (consisting of name, numbers, and the custom field) and just syncing contact info in a thread every so often? Or syncing contacts the first time the app is run and then registering for changes using ContentObserver?

Jan 4, 2010I currently have a lot of problems with this error. I programmed a widget and a service that runs in the background. This service is updating the widget on different occasions (position changed, screen turned on, timer based...) with images and text it's loading from a server. After a couple of updates I always get an error from the JavaBinder, at least that's what DDMS says. Reproducing the problem with my app is quite easy but I just can't figure out what's going on there.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Remote Service Returning Value From Http Transaction
May 6, 2009I've been researching how to best implement a service which performs a network transaction and returns data to the caller.
Clearly, this needs to happen on its own thread which means some form of async response. I can see at least three ways of doing this--some more complex than others. In the descriptions below, C is the caller, S is the service.
1) C wraps a Handler in a Messenger object, adds this to an Intent. C then calls startService with this intent. S extends IntentService which runs the Intents received in a worker thread. S then sends a message to C via the Messenger. This has the benefit of not requiring any of the async binding process or making an IDL interface that needs to be compiled into C. This seems to be the closes to a Handler-based response mechanism of Local Services.
2) C binds to S and then uses AsyncTask<> to make a blocking call to S. S performs the network transaction and returns the data in the return value or an out parameter. This requires the async binding process, but does not require a callback function since the inter- thread communications is handled by AsyncTask<> and the worker thread is in C's context.
3) Make the function called in S be completely asynchronous. S defines two interfaces: IMyService and IMyServiceCallback. S implements IMyService.Stub. C implements IMyServiceCallback.Stub. C binds to S then calls S via IMyService, passing its IMyServiceCallback binder. S spins up a worker thread and returns immediately. S then calls the callback when it has completed the network transaction.
I am asking for advice on which methods are most appropriate. I do not need the the service running constantly, only when the web transaction is required. C does not use S all the time--definitely don't want to bind during C's onCreate. However, I would like the time from when C determines it needs to use S to getting the results back to be as quick as possible (i.e. adding minimal latency to the already latent network access).
Is there any preference to having the worker thread in C or in S? Are there any significant problems with option 1?

Feb 15, 2010I get the Failed binder transaction error in the logcat when returning the image taken with the camera from the camera intent back to the parent intent (as a byte[] using putExtra). I don't understand why, its not like its a big bitmap or anything. It only happens when i take pictures with lots of light, because then the byte[] is bigger. The error occurs when leaving the camera intent. Does anyone see a mistake in my code?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Failed Binder Transaction When Passing Byte - From Camera - Between Intents
Feb 16, 2010I have a problem with an app that lets the user take a picture. I've posted it on some forums already, but nobody seems to recognize the problem. Hopefully someone here knows a solution :)
I've put the code of taking a picture in a seperate activity. Then I call the camera intent from my main activity using activityForResult. In the camera intent, I use putExtra to return the camera image (as a byte[] without doing anything to it). But when the program transitions back from the camera intent to the parent intent that called it I get a Failed Binder Transaction error in the logcat because the byte[] is too big. But I don't understand this, because the image is not even taken using the maximum resolution :S
The code of my camera intent is:

Android : Content Provider Vs Direct Database Access - Transaction Management
Aug 7, 2010I understand, at least on paper, the basic difference between the Content Provider and just directly accessing the SQLiteDatabase. I have a functioning prototype for my application, and currently it is just directly hitting the database. I don't really have any experience using the Content Provider pattern, but I have found out that I will need to share some data with another application.
I will only be sharing about 2 out of a dozen or so tables, so I was wondering if I should be just completely redoing the data layer to follow the Content Provider pattern, or just expose only those tables via a Content Provider for the sake of the other application and still directly access the database in the primary application.
One of the issues I ran into with my prototype was that I have some fairly complex transactions, and the code I wrote to get that working is not designed particularly well and isn't reusable at all. As I add more functionality to this app, I'm going to need a better designed data access layer, before I set off writing my own, does anyone know of any good resources with design patterns for this type of thing already? Also, if I need to go the Content Provider route, am I going to have solid control over the database transactions?

View 1 Replies View RelatedActivity Vars NULL After In-app Play Store Transaction?
May 31, 2012I've managed to incorporate in-app billing into our product but it is failing on one of my two test devices - a Samsung Vibrant / Galaxy S running Android 4.0.3
The transactions themselves are confirming - reserved product ID's and our actual product ID's - but on this particular phone once the response code is received and the app's activity is brought back into view, several variables holding operation-critical values are NULLed out, crashing the app and preventing actions associated with the purchase.
This DOES NOT happen on another test device - an HTC Sense running Android 2.3.4.
Both devices are running Play Store version 3.5.19.
At a loss right now for trouble shooting. If there is a way to extract the product ID from the signedData bundle returned from the Play Store it would be a way for me to side-step the problem.
General :: Where To View Google Wallet Transaction History Online
Dec 19, 2011Can you see your Google Wallet app transaction history on the web somewhere? It _looks_ like you should be able to see purchases made using the Google Wallet app at [URL]..., but this page just lists my Google Checkout transactions -- there's no record here of anything I bought using the phone app. As far as I can tell, the only place where I can see any record of those transactions is on the phone itself by selecting "Transactions" in the Google Wallet app. Is there a way to see this stuff online that I'm missing? And if these transactions _are_ only recorded on the phone, will all record of them be erased if/when my phone is wiped?

Android :: Update All Contacts Belonging To One Group

I am wondering if we can, in the ContentResolver.update() method specify a kind of join. For instance I'd like to do something like : UPDATE <people> SET <people.name>="<new name>" FROM People p, Groups Memberships gm WHERE p.person_id=gm.person_id and gm.group_id=<my_group_id> Does anyone know if it's possible or not? The update method has got a "where" attribute but can we use this attribute for complexe requests?

May 6, 2010I'm developping an application in Android 1.6 (and can't use 2.0 or older).

After that, I add phone numbers in the same way. It works as I am able to view the new added contact with following code :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
this.startActivity(intent);
My problem is that, after adding and viewing the new contact, I can't see it in Contacts application unless I synchronized all my contacts (I also did a search with the contact's name, found it, nevertheless it wasn't added in contacts list).
How can I programmatically update the contacts in order to immediately have my new contact added in Contacts application?
