Android :: Need A Profile Manager To Select A Desired "scene"
Sep 8, 2010Can anyone tell me if there is a profile manager that allows you to select a desired "scene" along with other settings such as Airplane, Volume, etc?

Can anyone tell me if there is a profile manager that allows you to select a desired "scene" along with other settings such as Airplane, Volume, etc?
Is there a way to set different bluetooth, screen timeout, and profile settings for each scene on the Evo? I use Pandora and the music player in the car. The problem is my bluetooth headset is set to play media audio so I have to change that every time I get in and out of the car. And I don't want the display shutting off either, so I have to change that every time I get in and out of the car. While I'm at it, is there a way to set a different profile (vibrate, normal, silent) on different Scenes? That's another thing that I find myself manually changing more often than I would like. I'm thinking the "Scenes" feature of Sense would be ideal for this. Just set up the apps you want, the profile settings, display settings, etc, and save that Scene. But I can't make it save any settings other than the wallpaper and widgets/shortuts.Does anyone know how I could go about this? Even is it's not possible in Sense, is there another way to do it?

However, despite all of this I want to start topic regarding FPS, and ask for advice from experienced game developers on Android platform.
My main question is "How to improve FPS when draw on Canvas?"
I have implemented simple 2D arcade game skeleton for testing purpose. Now I have ~20 FPS and want to increase this value to 40-50 FPS, if this is possible of course. I know about Open GL ES, but so far I am interested in Canvas.
In every frame I draw following stuff on the screen: - Canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK) - to clear the screen - 1 spaceship PNG 24x24 image 1.25 kb - 5 asteroids PNG 64x64 image ~8 kb each - from 1 to 30 bullets PNG 8x8 image 299 b - 4 30x30 Rectangles - to control objects on the screen
After running my app, in logcat I can see following output data: - Average FPS: 20 (Total frames drawn: 1945 in 97 seconds) - Average onDraw: 32 ms (clear canvas: 3, draw game stuff: 26, draw controls: 1) - Average updatePhysics: 1 ms
From this output I can assume, that my main problem here is "draw game stuff" wich includes: - draw 1 spaceship - draw 5 asteroids - draw from 1 to 30 bullets
Here is my code:........................
Seeking help to design a layout as shown here:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AQhgDtGvE2HgZGZ6cmtua185MTd0eGdyZmc&hl=en
The major challenge I face is aligning the components at desired positions. Please refer the three buttons(icons) and the way they are positioned.
Literally, going nuts, thinking how to position those exactly at the desired places.
we are confused with designing interface file for android,we have made user interface with Absolute layout and used "dip" instead of "px" (for different screen size issue) ,but it looks like,Absolute layout has been depreciated,and developer.android, recommends not to use Absolute layout
So other option we have is to use
1.Linear layout
2.Frame layout
3.Table Layout
But we are unable to bring Combination of above layouts so,that we can make button/widgets to proper position we need
How do we make widgets to desired position of screen with above said layouts and making them compatible with different screen sizes we have in android devices
would like to get a generic answer about same,
Tools used are: DrawDroid
I'm trying to implement a Select All menu item for a ListView in a ListViewActivity. The relevant parts of my ListViewActivity: public class MyListViewActivity extends ListActivity browsed around stackoverflow.com and the google; the above is something that should work. But it isn't. setSelection(i) appears to be the method I want to call on ListView but it's not working as advertised. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible on Android in code?

I have searched through all the settings but if there is a way to turn this off i have missed it. I know the mp3 file doesnt escalate because i use the same file on my moment and it rings at full volume from the beginning.

View 49 Replies View RelatedNew to Android and starting to work on file mgmt. I set up some subfolders on my SD card for pictures. I have been moving pictures from one folder to another, but I can only move one at a time. Is there a way to select multiple picture files and move them to another folder (like "Select All" with Windows)? This is the sequence I've been following: Use the Edit Icon in the Astro taskbar, select Move, then going to the directory folder I want to move them, and hit Paste. Moving one file at a time is taking for ever.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan somebody take me step-by-step how to draw 2D stuff over a 3D scene (such as controls, etc.). What I've been doing so far has not been working (it only draws the 3D scene), which is (in every frame): draw the 3D scene as normal, projection matrix mode, load identity, call GLU.gluOrtho2D(gl, 0, myScreenWidthInPixels, 0, myScreenHeightInPixels), switch the array pointers (vertices and texture coords) to the ones for my 2D stuff, then drawElements with an appropriate index list. (then switch the array pointers back so the 3D stuff works again).I get nothing added to the screen (just the 3D stuff).Do I need to be doing something else for it to draw? Can somebody take me step-by-step?

I messed with it for a few mins and decided i didn't like it so i uninstalled it. When i pushed the home button a menu pushed up that said something along the lines of "Home or Sence" (or something like that) and i chose sence because i was curious. Now my home screen is completely different and lost my custom scene.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHere are a few tips with the Fascinate camera:
1. You can access Panorama mode from the Scene menu in the top left. With Panorama mode... you will be guided by a green box, when you get close to take the next snapshot, move very slowly... especially when the green box is almost centered on your screen. This will produce better pictures with less blur.
2. Turn on Anti-shake and Auto-contrast in the settings menu. Turn on Grid if you'd like extra help with taking better photos.
3. Long press the shutter button to auto focus before taking the photo. It's a two-stage button that will take a little bit to auto focus, but it's better than not doing it before taking a photo.
When I trun my phone on, the scene changes from the scene I had chosen (the waving grass) to "current (unsaved)".If I change it to the one I prefer (saved with my name) I am asked to "save or cancel" the incorrect one.I click cancel, and all is well.But why does it change and how do I keep the scene selected that I want?I just want it to stick on the scene that I have chosen.
