There's another two simpler questions at the end of this post, I want to know those too.i'm wrapping a native API to Android by NDK.But when building it don't find the header files.I have the following structure.
<project>/jni
Android.mk
Code:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(call all-subdir-makefiles)
LOCAL_PATH :=/home/marcos/dev/workspace/rmsdk.native.wraper/jni
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog
LOCAL_MODULE := ndk1
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := native.c DelegateDRMProcessorClient.cpp
LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARY := adept cryptopenssl dp expat fonts hobbes jpeg mschema png t3 xml zlib

I am building an app that scrapes information from web pages. To do that I have chosen to use an HTML scraper called J soup because it's so simple to use. Jsoup is also dependent on Apache Commons Lang library. (Together they make up a total of 385kB ). So Jsoup will be used to Download the page and parse it. My question is if the use of these simplifying libraries, instead of using Androids built-in libraries, will make my app slower? (in terms of downloading data and parsing). I was thinking that the internal libraries would be optimized for Android.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a project that I would like to add external libraries to (and have them packaged with the application) but I am not sure it is happening. I read on this link:
http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/appendix/faq/commontasks.html. how to, but they do not show up in any of the /data/data/project directories. Does anyone know how I can confirm that the libraries were in fact added to the project for use at runtime?
I'm trying to build an Android project that has some dependencies. The jar files are in the lib/ directory. I can build the project by adding those jar file to my class path, but of course it Force Closes in the emulator because those libraries aren't present. I'm doing this from the command line with ant (not in eclipse). How can I make it include those libraries in the apk from the command line?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an existing project that builds fine using my IDE.I'd like to use the "android update" command to generate an ant buildfile for this project.The buildfile is generated fine, but the build fails because it's not building with some jarfiles I have in my libs directory.I'd like to figure out the proper way to tell ant to build with some external jar files in my libs directory. How should I do this? Is it a property in build.properties? Do I need to modify build.xml somehow? Or is there a different solution entirely?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi want to display a msg to the user (msg box or Toast) when exception happend in a static SQLite Database class that i use. the problem is that i cant call a non static method in a static class , how can i handle this. this is the class
private static SQLiteDatabase getDatabase(Context aContext) {
and i want to add something like this in the class when exception happen but context generates the problem of reference to non static in static class.
Context context = getApplicationContext();
CharSequence text = "Hello toast!";
int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, text, duration);
toast.show();
I'm having some issues with the old "Cannot make a static reference to a non-static method" error in my Android program. I am creating a sand falling game (similar to the Powder Game) and I created a class called Control to create a Control Bar at the bottom of the screen with a slider for brush size (that works fine) and a button to pop up a Dialog to allow users to pick the selected element. However, when I call DemoActivity.showDialog(2) from my code, it gives the static reference to non-static error (DemoActivity is the main activity of my application). I also tried changing it to just Activity.showDialog(2), but I got exactly the same error!
Here's my code:
CODE:................
I fixed it by adding the following to my Control.java code:
CODE:..........
And then calling control.setActivity(this); from my onResume section of DemoActivity.java!
I am modifying the source code here: http://thinkandroid.wordpress.com/2009/12/30/getting-response-body-of-httpresponse/
I get this error:
code:.............
This error is line 13 on the second box.
I have been finding it convenient to extend Handler in many of my activities to handle messages specific to the activity. The handler sublass is an inner class of the activity and needs to access its state. I am wondering if there is any performance difference between making the handler subclass static and passing in the activity explicitly in its constructor or making the subclass an "instance class" and letting the vm worry about my accessing members of the containing activity.
The static approach:
CODE:.............................
I have Eclipse Juno and I'm working on an app with that.
The main activity will have a scrollable menu that takes you to all the other activities.
So the general structure/outline right now:[HIGH]Relative Layout ImageView (header logo type thing) ListView (the actual scrollable menu)[/HIGH]Here's the problem though... I can't find any simple list tutorials. I can easily make a single line list work but I need to make a two line list and one that is static, not dynamic and no examples are out there for that. It's like if you want to make a 2 line list, you can only learn how to do it in the most code-heavy ridiculous way possible.
Essentially what I am looking for with the list is this: Item one: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Resources)
- Item two-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
- Item ??: Centred, bold, non selectable title (Tools)
- Item ??-??: two line list items, click-able to a new activity, title of the section on first line, description on the second line.
Nothing dynamic that is ever going to change, no super complex wonkey calculations, just to simply have the data set in stone (preferably via XML) and to call it into the list.
I experimented with some of the other list views and no matter what I did, I could get, via editing the resources and NOT using Java, more that one item on a single line but it wouldn't format it properly according to the layout I guess because I haven't got the ID correct or whatever I don't know.
I mean, all the examples I've seen for a 2 line list are extraordinarily over-coded and just bloated. I mean I have a website I am still working on in C#/ASP.net that has far more complex things in it with half the code that I've seen for the examples of the two line lists.
I tried on my own to figure it out (I am decent with C# and vaguely familiar with Java, self taught, and programming for some other systems like Python, again all self-taught), but like ALL coding references, they're organised by the actual code you implement (that you don't know) instead of by what you want it to do (so you have to search the whole code base to find something that you don't know what it's called but know what it does). >:C
Why should a static method in java accept only final or non final variables within its method, but not static?
For example I have the following method:
CODE:.................
I was really excited today when I saw the Tools r7 and ADT 0.9.8 were available and the latter had this note;
Fixes problems with handling of library project names that contain characters that are incompatible with the Eclipse path variable. Now properly sets up the link between the main project and the library project.
I create the library (foolib - no spaces, no caps, no punctuation). So far so good. I go to the main project, go to preferences --> Android. In the library box I add the new library. It appears. I press Apply. I press OK.
Nothing happens.
I return to the preferences, the library is no longer there JUST LIKE BEFORE.
I looked around for info on this in the group but couldn't find any... so far in my OpenGL programming I've just done everything directly, but I was curious if anyone had written any "wrapper" libraries for it besides min3d. Min3d is great (or is getting there) but it's GPL'd, making it unsuitable for a commercial product (if my understanding of the license is correct).
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have been using gdbserver to debug our JNI code as follows. We have been less than successful -- breakpoints do not always get activated, sometimes we get SIGILL, and we seldom ever get a useful stack when the debugging stops on SIGSEGV, sometimes the program dies with SIGTRAP!!!
We have occasionally been able to have debug sessions with s/n, but since pretty much every SEGV has resulted in either a damaged stack, or at least, gdbserver can not find the stack, it's a pain.
Is there something we are missing? Is there some reason to use the 4.2.1 vs 4.3.1 toolchain? (Why are there two toolchains? I assume because of bugs in each that are fixed in the other... which bugs?)
We guessed that the "dalvik" process that we wanted to debug was app_process --- we found this out by looking at /proc/XXX/cmdline on our running activity.
This is what we do typically do(repo sync directory is in /build/m1 for me)
invoke:/build/m1/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi- gdb
(some of us use -tui, some of us run it under Xemacs, etc.)
We then do:
CODE:..........
We then start our activity, adb shell, discover the PID of the activity, discover the IP of the phone with "netcfg", and:

This is with a physical device. With an emulator, one has to, of course, run the adb forward stuff. (Too bad that doesn't work with a real device too, as then I would not need to run gdb over the wireless)

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm building an app where I want to architect the app layer separately from the service layer (not android services). So I'll create a service interface(the apis) and then create a class(es) that implement that service interface. Inside the android application layer, I want to code to just that service interface. I think this is similar to how the google maps apis works. the api interface and stubs are in the framework, then each device actually provides the implementation. I don't need to go that far, but I am wondering how I package this up. One, where would I put these interfaces, so I can code to them in the app layer (like Activities). Second, how do I tell Android where the implementing classes are? I'm guessing this is somewhere in the manifest? For now I think I would probably just build the service implementation with the application source code, if that's easier. Eventually I'd like to break that out and drop it in as a 3rd-party jar.

I'm working on a project with a group that is using Eclipse, but I'm using Netbeans. Up until today this wasn't an issue. When updating from the repo they have added some source code as a library under a directory called /lib-src. When I try to compile the code I get an error that it can't find certain packages... these are the packages under /lib-src.
Using NetBeans I can add the library as a folder so now the references to those packages are happy. However, I'm getting this new error when compiling:
UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL ERROR:
CODE:.........
I can include the build-impl.xml file if you need it, but I don't think that is main issue.
I am completely new to the NDK.
I have done a couple of the tutorials including the hello from jni one and another one that calculates the sum of two numbers.
They involved using cygwin and the ndk to create the library so file and I have a bit of a grasp on how to insert my own libraries into the libraries layer of Android.
I have now been asked to access the native libraries on Android and see what I can use them for.
My question is can I do this?
The STABLE-APIS.txt document is a bit vague and mentions the following as Stable C++ API's in Android 1.5
cstddef
new
utility
stl_pair.h
Does that mean I can access them?
If so then how do I go about it?
I need to import a couple of jars that where compiled under the full implementation of java. I know that Android doesn't use all the packages that java has to offer. My question is: Is it possible to import them without creating errors? Is there a tool that can convert jars to android jars? if so, can some examples be provided.
