I'm starting to design my object graph for an OpenGL ES 1.1 app on Android. What's advisable when it comes to actually drawing my triangles and controlling their size? Should I store all the vertices in units relative to each other and then multiply them by a value I pass during a draw(GL10 gl)? Would this approach have any impact when it comes time to do frustum culling?

This may be in the wrong forum, but I can't figure out where else to post it.
The maps app (the one from google your phone comes with by default) only shows routes in feet and miles. Is there no way to get it in meters? I can't find any settings for this!
I am experimenting with orientation sensor, register it like this: SesnorManager sensor_manager = (SensorManager)getSystemService (Context.SENSOR_SERVICE); Sensor sensor_orientation = sensor_manager.getSensorList (SensorManager.SENSOR_ORIENTATION).get(0); sensor_manager.register Listener(sensor_listener, sensor_orientation, SensorManager.SENSOR_DELAY_UI); and then read the orientation values in the sensor event listener: private final SensorEventListener sensor_listener = new SensorEventListener() { ... float sensor_data_x = event.values[SensorManager.DATA_X];}

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy project has the run-of-the-mill HTTP calls to fetch XML files, parsing the XML files, and creating domain objects. Those objects are later used in the actions and services of the Android app, I'd like to isolate that code. I also want to write tests for it. What are some good ways of doing this? Creating an Android Library doesn't seem appropriate. The tests would have to be in a separate project. And there are no services or activities in the extracted HTTP and XML related code. So the test suite doesn't have to be an Android test suite, it could be regular JUnit tests.

Whats the unit for the distance returned? 2) In windows XP using Eclipse 3.3.2. Emulator does not send coordinates properly.

View 2 Replies View Relatedthis is just an issue with how the emulator is setup, but I'm not sure.
I'm (natively) calling this:
int maxt = 0;
glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_UNITS, &maxt);
__android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_VERBOSE, "Native", "Max textures %d", maxt);
This only outputs 2... could it be possible that I'm going to be allowed only 2 textures? That seems impossible... GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE reports 4096 which is more than enough. I suppose you could lay everything out on a couple of 4096x 4096 images (seems a bit crazy) but anyway... Am I just running into one of things that will be different per phone processor?
I will have a list view on the top and a button on the bottom in the view. Regardless the height of the list view i would like to fix the button position on the bottom all the time. If the list view is too long then make it scrollable.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWith Android, you can define different resources for different phone attribute by naming res directories appropriately. I need to be able to support different layouts for 480x800 and 480x854. I figured I could have one set of resources stored in the layout-hdpi-v4 directory and another in layout-long-hdpi-v4. However, both resolution seem to think that they are long (at least based on the emulator, which I understand may not reflect devices accurately). Is there another way in which I can distinguish between the two resolutions/aspect ratios?

I would like to define each tab's content in a different XML file so the visual editor in Eclipse can be used. That is, without all of the tabs being laid over each other. The visual editor doesn't even seem to work with the XML example provided here: [link text][1]
[1]: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html "Here", It just has a Null pointer exception.
I have tried to define each tap in it's own file, for example. code...
And when adding the tab I use:
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_in").setIndicator("Input").setContent(R.layout.input));
But this causes the application to crash on launch. Is there any way to do this?

I'm porting android to an overo gumstix. thus it seems the the omapfb driver has some problems on that platform. it doesn't matter at all, because i want to use udlfb (a driver for usb displays) anyway.
till today, i wasn't able to figure out how i can define udlfb as default framebuffer.
tried make menuconfig and select udlfb there, but no changes when booting the fresh compiled kernel. omapfb still wants to come up.
so my final question: how do i define
the default framebuffer driver for an
android kernel?
Is it a good practice to define the alphabetic shortcuts (alphabeticShortcut) of the menu items?

Is there a way define widget default values in the context of an application.
