The timing of this week's blog post was perfect. It was exactly what I intended to do today. And the extra Ant step worked fine, and I can see Proguard obfuscate my files into bin/obf/obfuscated.jar (yes, I tweaked the file names and paths a little bit), the resulting App- release.apk does not include the obfuscated files. My first hint was my stack traces, but I confirmed it with dedexer. Has anyone else verified their .apk? How does the compile step know what .class files to use? (I'm hoping its not assuming some hard coded path.)

I've loaded some R rated movies (Wedding Crashers, Superbad, etc) which contain adult content.I notice that the movies are accessible from the Camera and Gallery apps. I let my kids play games and take pics and dont want them to be able to access these so easily.Are my only options to remove the movies or not let them use my phone?
I am in the process of writing some new build files for Android Sdk 1.5 and beyond.
My question is every tool-IDE plugin the same in that they do not contribute the ANT task libs to the IDE ant editor and thus have to manually set the paths in each IDE?
At them moment i know ADT 0.90 pre is but I am assuming that will change as we approach the ADT 0.90 final release.
I'm storing my Android project in a Subversion repository. After recently shuffling a bunch of stuff around I started getting tons of errors like: syntax error entries/project_name/src/.svnline 1Android AIDL Problem syntax error don't know what to do with "" entries/project_name/src/.svnline 28Android AIDL Problem etc.
It seems as if Eclipse is trying to build the files in the .svn directories now. This setup used to work fine.
More specifically, have the files show up: /data/data/com.mydomain.foo/media/foo.js
Is this something I would have to provision programatically at runtime?
There are a lot of language which compiles into Java class files when can run on JVM (e.g. JRuby, Scala, Rhino). Can you please tell me if I can take those class files (compiles by the JRuby/Scala/Rhion compiler) and run it on Android platform?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a severe problem with eclipse, where i need to compile a somewhat larger class. by "larger" i mean, the class has about 5000 lines of code... problem is that on saving this project, eclipse takes several seconds (30-40) to "build the workspace". to be exact, it says "50%" and keeps saying that for 30-40 seconds. then, it breaks with the following error:
[console]:

[problems window]:
Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: null this error is reproducible and keeps popping up until i comment out several thousands LOC, so that the file still has this 5k LOC, but ~2000 of them are comments. THEN it works...
i know that 5000 LOC are no really good programming style, but i need to do it this way for now ... (i have to write this much records to a sqlite database and since sqlite doesnt feature multiple sql-queries in one rawQuery-command i have to execute a single rawQuery() for each and every data record i need to push into the db.... - until i write a file reader to read this data from a file (that needs verification etc)), i'm stuck with this solution...)
I have an interesting problem. I pull down an android project from cvs, which works fine. Once Eclipse builds the project, my .java files are removed. XML files, pngs, everything else is fine. I seem to be left with just the package tree, but no source files. Any thoughts?

Just read the latest Android Developer blog post. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/proguard-android-and-l... Quite the beast. And Proguard cannot even be used with confidence ("it's still possible that in edge cases you'll end up seeing something like a ClassNotFoundException").
Is it just me getting irritated where this seems to be going? In my more active days developing, pretty graphic slang was applies to efforts like this: "Turd layering". Meaning: More dependencies, more procedure, more sources of error, and it doesn't even work "right". In of itself, adding innocent looking steps to a release procedure (for some relatively obscure benefit) might be marginally worthwhile, but in the bigger picture, releasing an app increasingly becomes a burden. Dare you miss a step. Or try to teach somebody else how to go through a release and verify it. Or you want to go and rebuild a development environment. Or lose the ominous reference file (mapping.txt)...
I am making an app for Android, in my Activity I need to load an array of about 10000 strings. Loading it from database was slow, so I decided to put it directly into one .java file (as a private field). I have about 20 of these classes containing string arrays and my question is, are all the classes loaded into memory after my application is started? If so the Activity in which I need these strings would be loaded quickly, but the application as a whole would have a slow start...
Is there other way, how to very quickly load an 10000 string array from a file?
UPDATE:
Why I need these strings? My Android app allows you to find "journeys" in Prague's public transit - you choose departure stop, arrival stop and it finds your journey (have a look here). My app has a suggestions feature - you enter leter "c" as your departure stop and a suggestions ListView appears with stops starting with "c". For these suggestions I need the strings. Fetching the suggestions from database is slow (about 400ms on G1).
When I got something like this:

How can I know where the problem is and debug this issue? I only got the mapping output from ProGuard and don't know the line number.
I've been trying obfuscate my application for the last 2 days. I must add that I'm new to Java, Eclipse, Ant and Android as well.
Currently I've managed to build the correct build.xml file and run ProGuard 4.4. However, every time I install my apk I get multiple errors from the "dalvikvm" such as "Found field 'e' but sig is 'J' not 'B'" or ".. sig is 'Lc' not '[c'" (Which has something to do with arrays and enums).code...
Google is suggesting that developers might want to obfuscate byte code:
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/proguard-android-and-licensing-server.html
I followed Google's instructions to get an obfuscated Android app that, at first glance, seemed to work. But there were some strange bugs introduced that are not in the un-obfuscated app. I kept turning off ProGuard options to get to this configuration:
-dontoptimize
-dontshrink
-dontusemixedcaseclassnames
-dontskipnonpubliclibraryclasses
-dontpreverify
-verbose
Still the bugs are there. Is there anything else I can turn off to get only pure obfuscation? Obfuscation would be nice, but I am willing to turn off ProGuard's other features.
I'm publishing an android application develpoed in eclpis and, as stated in the title, I would like to integrate proguard(obfuscation) into the build, specifically for exporting a signed app.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy app uses two databases (separate files). To handle these databases I have created two Helper classes which extend SQLiteOpenHelper, one for each database.
I am now going to add a third database and wonder whether I need to create yet another Helper class (and if I used a 4th and a 5th database would I need even more Helper classes), or can I use the same Helper class for multiple databases?
The problem that I see with trying to use just one Helper class is that I can't see how to pass the name of the individual database files to the Helper. At present the name of the database is hard-coded as a Static field of each of the Helper classes, but if I had only one Helper class I would need to be able to pass the different names in to the Constructor when creating the separate Helper objects; the problem is that the SQLiteOpenHelper Constructor seems to be called by Android with just one parameter: the Context.
I downloaded the Android 2.2 source code and try to build it. When I executed the make command, I got an error here like this build/core/java.mk:20: *** frameworks/ex/common: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. Then I changed the frameworks/ex/common/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7. Next place, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/jsr305: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/jsr305/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
Last one, build/core/java.mk:20: *** external/guava: Invalid LOCAL_SDK_VERSION '8' Choices are: current 4 5 6 7. Stop. I changed the external/guava/Android.mk to LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 8 from LOCAL_SDK_VERSION = 7
By these changes the code started the compilation.
1. Why the error occured?
2. Changes which I did is correct or not?
I've seemingly tried every setting in various articles on the internet including excluding all of my classes through -keep public class.
What settings should be used to not force close? At this point if I could get obfuscation with nothing else would be fine.
Below are sample configurations I've tried and my app still force closes.
I followed this article as well as others: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/proguard-android-and-licensing-server.html. Still no luck.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm just getting into Android development, and I have a question about communicating between a receiver class and an activity class. I'm very new to JAVA and Android so I hope I don't sound too stupid. I'm developing an application where I intercept an SMS message and then based on various elements of that SMS I might delete it once it's been saved to the inbox. I have a receiver class that intercepts the txt message, and I am also able to delete messages from my inbox with code in the activity class using a button at the moment. The problem I have is communicating between the receiver class and the activity class where the code to delete a message resides. I tried putting that code directly into the receiver class but as I'm sure most of you already know the BroadcastReceiver class doesn't seem to support what I need to delete messages. I've been searching for an answer to this for a while, but haven't been able to find anything. Honestly I'm not sure I know enough about JAVA and Android to even recognize a solution if I saw it.
