I want to implement a custom input method for certain EditTexts within my app. I understand I need to extend the InputMethodService class, but how do I then add this to certain views? I've tried just using the class name in the android:inputMethod XML property, but this seems not to work. Using the SoftKeyboard example in the 1.5 SDK, my manifest is as follows:..............

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to implement a JNI which render image with 3-party native function. This function call is time consuming, it cost about 1s to return. I found during that time, even if I call the JNI within another Java thread, the whole Dalvik VM is blocked. UI is frozen. I guess that's because Dalvik doesn't implement Java thread with a native thread, so any time consuming native function call will block the whole VM. I wonder how to solve this problem. My best guess is I should create a pthread in JNI to call that 3-party native function. But I don't know how to implement this kind of JNI.

I mean If I create a Thread Globally then can I implement its run() method {" public void run()"} anywhere in my Application?
In the run() method I have to write the code to perform some action.
IF I can do it then please can anyone show me briefly how to do it particularly.
Currently I need to get the total memmory of the android phone as part of the summary displayed to the user. Is there anyone who could suggest a way out?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt seems that on the Incredible the startForeground() call is non- functional, causing my process to be put into the background scheduler class even though it has an active ongoing notification. I'm calling it the same as on other 2.x devices (through reflection as suggested by Diane for backward-compatibility), and this works fine on the Droid, with the same OS level (2.1-update1). I can see in the debugger that it gets all the way to ActivityManagerNative.setServiceForeground() with the notification param being non-null, so it's got to be in the ActivityManager or below.
The really telling thing is that the stock music player acts the same way. When I'm playing a song and go to the home screen the com.htc.music process goes into the bg class, even though its notification is still active. This is a real problem for us, as it denies us the CPU we need to play back music in some cases without stuttering. Any ideas on whether this is getting fixed, and how I might work around it?
Hi, I have a "Remote Service", which I am starting at Bootup of the emulator. I want my service to keep running as a foreground service. For this, I am calling startForeground() from my service's onStartCommand(). I don't want any notifcation from the service. But startForeground() needs a notification object as its second parameter. How can I set my service as a foreground service without using any notification.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of services in my application which need to be marked as foreground to prevent them from being killed unnecessarily. Currently I am building my application with the 2.0 SDK but I have android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="5" in my manifest file so that I can support 1.5, 1.6 or 2.0 devices. I am currently using only the 1.5 APIs so that my application will run correctly on the 1.5 devices.
2.0 introduced a nicer startForground method that combines setting the foreground flag and starting a notification which can be used to control the service. The 2.0 documentation says that startForground replaces setForeground, and that due to the fact that many applications were mistakenly using setForeground without a notification that could be used to control and close down the service, that the older setForeground method had been changed so it no longer does anything on 2.0. I tried using the newer 2.0 interface but it caused an exception for phones running 1.5 or 1.6. So I am still using the older setForeground interface and calling notify separately. But it appears that since I am building with the 2.0 SDK the older interface isn't really preventing my services from being killed.
I've got a question as I don't have an Android 2.0 device to test on and this particular aspect seems untestable in the emulator. I've got a service that needs to be run as a foreground service. I have a notification that stops it etc, so I have no problem using startForeground instead of setForeground. However, I'd like to have 1 version of my app that works across all platforms... Is this possible? If my app is compiled with Android 1.5 and uses setForeground, then will that command actually work on an Android 2.0 device, or does it not matter which sdk was used to compile? I've tried compiling with 2.0, and surrounding the call to startForeground with a try/catch, but that throws a VerifyError when the service is started, when run on a 1.5/6 device since startForeground doesn't exist there. Can I catch and ignore the VerifyError somehow and make it work that way?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI updated my app to use the "new" startForeground() method of Service. Now beta testers are complaining about the foreground app going slow. Is that a coincidence or does startForeground() mess with the thread's prio or does anything else but what is written below? Just as an additional information the background activity does some syncing, reports the progress to the notification using remote views and as it is not latency dependent I use (and did that before already) this: Process.setThreadPriority(Process.THREAD_PRIORITY_LOWEST);
Should I use another Priority? And if it makes any difference, how does that play with Android 1.5 devices?
I am running a background Android Service as VoIP Framework which provides different VoIP services to different Android applications, (VoIP call, Video Call, etc). The service establishes a network connection with the Server(Service Provider) and does some initial handshake before it can start providing service to the Android applications, that's why though of starting the service on BOOT_COMPLETED event.
The problem is when the service gets started on BOOT_COMPLETED event, before even it finishes the initial network connection with server and handshaking, it gets killed by the system. I have tried using setForeground which improves the behavior a bit but still gets killed mid-way. I am working with old version 1.5 r3 of SDK and hence, cannot use "startForeground". Is there a way out or another alternative available with SDK 1.5 r3?
In my application i have a autocomplete in first activity and some edittext in second activity.when i run my code in emulator it works fine and i am not seeing any virtual keyboard on screen when program is excecuted.but when i depoly it in device when i application loads, onfocus is directly on autocomplete and a keyboard pops out,and also when i navigate from first activity to second activity onfocus is on first edittext and keyboard pops out.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Android app modeled after the LunarLander example by Google.
I am debugging it on a real device, (Motorola Droid) with Android 2.0.
When the orientation changes, the program crashes on a null pointer Exception.
Logcat from just before crash:
CODE:.............
The first line that worries me is "Something wrong here" at 24:38.620. I have no idea what it means, But I think its due to me not reacting properly to the screen change.
Next I get a debug message that I printed myself from within my own method surfaceChanged() about the new surface dimensions.
Then I print out debug message about whether flies was null. flies is the field that eventually causes the NullPointerException. Its created once, and never written to again for the rest of the program. I know that it was not null before the crash, because it was read several times.
Does anyone have a clue how my private member variable came to be null just by these clues?
I would include code but there is a lot of it and I don't know what would be relevant.
I thought the 2.1 update would include the Flash player but apparently that is not so. Is there another way to install it?

but I'm getting the error The method onBackPressed() of type MyClass must override a superclass method. I'm relatively new to Java, I've seen here that people do it and it works for them Why I'm getting this error? I'm writing an app for android 1.5, could the problem be here?
In Eclipse, when I mouse hover over a built-in method, it displays a method definition including stuff like what the method does, input objects, return objects etc. If I have a yellow line (warning) under the method I'm trying to use, I can't get the mouse-over to show the definition. If I try hitting F3, I get a "The Jar of this class file belongs to container "Android 1.6" How do I show the definition of the method I am using when there is a warning?

What is the functionality about the 3 files in directory gps. Should I modify the 3 files to implement GPS. In this web site http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/cupcake/development/pdk/docs/g..., it shows that anyone that want to integate GPS with Android should create a shared library named libgps.so refer to gps.h. My question is how to create a shared library libgps.so.If the libgps.so is created, where can I find it. What is the relation between libgps.so and libhardware_legacy.so. 3.How to test GPS if gps is implemented successfully. I know there is a gpstest tool in Android but I don't know how to use it. Can someone tell me the detail about gpstest tool provided by Android.
